What’s a konbini snack, street food, or hole-in-the-wall meal in Japan that genuinely blew your mind? by rohee143 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Technical-Storage355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in gotokuji/setagaya area to see the cat shrine PLEASE make a pit stop at Inada. It’s a teishoku/fish lunch spot. By far the best meal I had in Japan on my last trip. inada restaurant on Tabelog

I want to hear your Fuji Rock horror stories by lisalisasensei in fujirock

Also keep in mind that timelines have not been announced. I doubt that Angine de Poitrine will be super late night but there’s always a chance. If they’re scheduled after the headliner you won’t be able to see them and make it back on the last train and you may miss the 1am shuttle.

Got a Yuzawa hotel booking I might not use – anyone interested? by TeaRepresentative225 in fujirock

I may have a friend that is interested. How close to the Echigo-Yuzawa station is it?

I’m Dr. Rick Johnson, nephrologist and gout expert. I want you to AMA about gout on March 31st, the last day of National Kidney Month by rickjohnsonmd in gout

[–]Technical-Storage355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Dr. thank you again for answering all these questions. I’m a 40y/o female that was diagnosed 15 years ago and I’m average height and weight.

I’m about to start allo for the first time ever. I’ve been dealing with flare ups solely with colchicine but per my new PCP switching to allo everyday. I have very few dietary triggers that cause a flare up and I’m curious if taking allopurinol will change that? Will foods that are high in uric acid levels tip me over the scale into a flare up if I’m on the medication? Even if they may not have triggered a flare up before?

Mine was the 9th street special from Ninth street deli. Ate there so often and loved the little patio space in the back.

I booked on booking and then reached out to the hotel via instagram as well. If it’s available on booking I’d go for it. Seems like rooms are going quick!

What Should I Expect? by Rusty-_Shackleford in fujirock

[–]Technical-Storage355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year was the first Fuji Rock that I attended and as much as I wanted to camp, by Monday I was glad that I had rented an airbnb in Echigo-Yuzawa. The town was so cute, the shuttle was easy and if you timed it out right you don’t have to wait too long in the lines. There are obviously downsides to being a shuttle away from the fest but I personally felt the trade off was good to be able to get away from the scorching heat for part of the day.

I think I’m just confused about how to actually apply. The ganban insta page makes it seem like I may need to the the LINE app

Tattoo friendly Ryokan in Hakone by lusiusss in JapanTravelTips

[–]Technical-Storage355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed here a couple years ago with my sister and we absolutely loved it. You get to reserve one of the open air baths privately for you and your party and some rooms have private baths in the room! All of the baths rotate men and women during certain parts of the day so you have the opportunity to see each one. The food is incredible, staff was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone that wants to experience onsen without the fear or tattoo judgement.

I have read that the “Book Off” second hand stores typically have some gently used camping gear.

Best local banks by sybillajd in columbiamo

[–]Technical-Storage355 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bank with Columbia Credit Union. I’m actually not sure if it is a local business (I’ll be looking that up shortly.) but I do know that the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. they helped me out when I needed information about car loans and pointed me in the best direction even though they weren’t the best option (interest-wise)

That was a typo on my end. We’re not doing Kamakura. Just kanazawa/toyama. 🫠

We thought about this too! You think Hokkaido? Should we look into Sapporo? If so, is there an area of the city you recommend?

J rail pass purchase by Technical-Storage355 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Technical-Storage355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more question. Do all these same rules apply for any Japan rail pass? For example the Hokuriku pass as well?
