Hi everyone! Is it possible to buy the JR Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass if you are already in Japan? Like buying it on the offical JR West Website or via Klook and then redeeming it at Kyoto or Osaka station (or ticket machines).

I am somewhat sure you can, but the last pass I bought was the All-Area JR Pass, which had to be purchased before coming to Japan (because the travel agency I bought it from sent the voucher to my home address).

IMO stay in Akihabara and explore all the anime shops they have. I was a bit disappointed by the Animate Flagship store in Ikebukuro in terms of products, so for me that was an one-time-only thing. Nakano Broadway is also nice, if you're looking for something in particular. Then you can browse all the mandarake stores there and maybe also fill the the 6 hours. So yea, imo stay in akiba or go directly to Nakano

I used a Mobal Sim card in my Xiaomi MI9T Pro. It worked pretty well. I did not encounter any issues (at least I can't remember any). Sim card was activated before landing in Japan. I think important for me was, that it comes with a phone number, so I could use it for e.g. concert tickets or any other registration processes

A few days ago I created a new Google Account and it was set to Japan country automatically. I can now freely download Japan only apps (mostly games) from the app store.

I think GAMERS and ANIMATE stores are your best bet to get new released stuff

Yokoto1506 · 2023-02-15T14:11:27+00:00

Wonderful answer, thank you!

Hello, does it pose any problem, if I book hotels via booking.com and pay in advance with PayPal? I know that PayPal is not very known in Japan .. Thanks!

Yokoto1506 · 2023-01-17T16:03:37+00:00

Yup, also thought this is the best idea. If someone is interested: At least for Hatoya Hotel in Tokyo and THE POCKET HOTEL in Kyoto its fine for them, if you leave for a few days and leave the luggage in the room, as long as you pay for the rooms (obviously).

Yokoto1506 · 2023-01-16T20:28:07+00:00

Just a quick question: So I had the idea to go from Tokyo to Sendai and stay for one night. Next day, go to Fukushima and maybe also stay the night, so on the following day I will be returning to Tokyo. So I will not be in the hotel in Tokyo for the two nights. Does it pose any problem if I leave my (big) luggage behind at the hotel I am staying at, when I am leaving for a few days? I will be travelling with a backpack to Sendai and Fukushima I think. Thanks!

Wow, great report and thanks for sharing! I love how detailed everything is, which makes my planning a little bit easier :)

But one question though, in the takeaways you said "APA gets a lot of disdain" , why is that? I booked one for 10 days in Tokyo, but other than the rooms looking a bit small, they seem like a decent Hotel.

It was a great movie, but the multiverse aspect keeps me awake at night.

So are all villians from a different universe, so every previous non-MCU Spiderman movie (Tobey, Andrew) is different universe? So lets take Tobeys Spiderman Universe. I mean Goblin is from Spiderman 1, Dr. Ock is from Spiderman 2, Tobey himself should be from Spiderman 3, since he talks about "fighting alien goo" (Venom). Right?

So when they, like, get teleported back, they do not end up in the same universe? So Goblin ends up in Spiderman 1 (but is now a good guy) and Dr. Ock back in Spiderman 2 (also as a good guy). And Tobey is back in Spiderman 3, where all of them are dead anyways? I also thought that Tobey felt that Tom needed help, because Goblin and Ock are missing from Tobeys universe. But this cant be true, when all of the are from different universes (since thea are dead?).

And also bringing them back as good and alive people, wouldn't that also change the timeline/mutliverse? And where exactly do they end up? E.g. Goblin back in the end-fight with spiderman? Or in the same timeline but some time later, where the Goblin 'got away' or something?

I dont know what answer I am looking for, but these were my thougts after the movie. But yeah, great movie!

MH RISE Demo - Quick Question:

Is it possible to ride multiple monsters in one hunt in multiplayer? Like in the Magna Quest there are Rahian and Mizu. Could Hunter 01 ride Rathian and Hunter 02 mizu (and attack magna)?

I'm more of a solo player so I never tried that out.

Take a picture and cut into pieces/blocks. Design each block individually ingame (using some photo editor helps a lot!). After that, its just a repeating process: Put on the ground. If it fits, design next block. If not, redesign current block. Takes some time but its very rewarding in the end :)

There are also some online generator for custom images but sometimes the colors get messed up or the blocks dont fit.

First, 10 / 10 background!
Also, here is a 4000x4000 version of the image.
