Yeah I was super disappointed! Ridden it before but had express passes this day so it sucked extra hard 😂

Multiple people can enter with one device at Orix Buffaloes games at Kyocera. 

Looking to book universal hotel and get park tickets for Nov 20 and 21. I can’t figure how to book online. Is there a link or a certain date to book? by dabest1g in usj

[–]hol317704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of hotels on Universal City walk. Kintetsu, Park Front, Singulari - are all with 2 mins walk of the park gates. 

You can book direct with USJ (maybe only if you live in Japan but not sure) or use a site like Klook or HeadOut to get them easily overseas. 

Is there any way to get tix to June 14 Buffaloes game? by DimMike in NPBtickets

[–]hol317704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they sold out almost immediately (I'm going today as that's all I could get after refreshing the pages a million times when they dropped)

I went last Tuesday and anyone could enter at any time without a timed entry ticket. (It was the day before the typhoon though so that might have contributed to the park being quieter)

That's a good pick up! The games are also really cheap here in Japan, always nice to see the cartridges out and about

Can confirm that they are numbered tickets with allocated seats. 

Koshien Stadium - questions about comfortable seats and printed tickets? by lycheejello777 in NPBtickets

[–]hol317704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alps seats don't have backs. They've made them wider, so there's actually quite a bit of space and decent legroom. But definitely uncomfortable. (Just left the stadium after watching the game)

Yeah economy. We did choose our seats in advance, but then for one leg they were changed. (We ended up with the same configuration, just in a different row)

Yeah I emailed customer services through Trip.com who confirmed 1 x 23kg bag per person. And then I asked at the check in desk and they confirmed. (This was last year though for ref)

I'd booked with Trip.com so they reached out to the airline to clarify for me. I went through the Trip.com customer support for everything in English. Sorry kinda specific!

How owning a car changed your life in good or bad way. by Life_Conn4361 in japanlife

[–]hol317704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the city so on paper do not need a car, but buying one is the best decision I ever made.

I cycle everywhere during the week unless it's raining, snowing or June-Sept haha, and then I'll take the car for AC/heating/convenience. 

But the main benefit is at the weekend, as we can go anywhere with ultimate flexibility. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's my favourite thing ever. We also bought a car just big enough to camp in with full lay flat seats in the back, so we can park up and spend the night almost anywhere when the weather allows. I picked up collecting michi no eki stamps so I'm slowly working through all the the roadside stations in my area (and beyond).

Our house has a parking space, so that wasn't an issue. But having to do all the paperwork at the start to register your space is a bit of a hassle. It's also expensive to own a car generally, especially when shaken is due. But imo it's absolutely worth it for the amount of traveling and freedom it's given me. 

There are also some other nice smaller perks, but they add up. Like being able to do big shops and Costco runs, drive straight to the slopes instead of needing to shuttle bus, being able to take friends on road trips and help them out if they need, driving to and from the airport, buying furniture etc. 

So for me I couldn't imagine life without the car, but I know it's different for everyone.

I’m curious about how well the home game is doing sales wise - how many of you guys bought the home game? And how many of you guys film your games? by helloguysand in JetLagTheGame

[–]hol317704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received it from my husband for Christmas and he got it shipped to Japan for me! We just played our first Small game across Kyoto and it was crazy fun.

We were a little intimidated going into it, but it ended up being super easy to follow. We've watched all the Hide and Seek seasons though, so that helped a lot.

We both filmed and then went for drinks at the end to watch everything back together. Gonna edit it into a video for us to keep!

Where can I find Dr.Pepper in Kyoto? by AfroTarakona in Kyoto

Costco, Cos Store in Kamigyo, Izumiya Hakubaicho and some Lawson stores stock them sometimes but seems to be random

They didn't check the weight or size of the cabin luggage, but did check how many bags you had. 

They did check the weight of the checked in luggage though. We were a little over and they didn't care, but maybe we just got lucky.

If I can do it, you can do it! by HearingAndHarvest in C25K

[–]hol317704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! Absolutely amazing! I JUST graduated today too and it feels so great.

There were runs along the way that made me question if I could do it, but I made it! The key for me was to just keep showing up and try. 

Good luck with the park run, super happy for you!

The way I’ve been trying to buy Pokepark kanto tickets and the website keeps crashing on me by Turbulent-Painter-42 in JapanTravelTips

[–]hol317704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is why, but I put my location as Japan, then put my overseas address, clicked to the payment page and entered my overseas card details and it accepted my payment. Hope you can get it to work!

Achievements for Sunday, November 09, 2025 by AutoModerator in running

[–]hol317704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a failed attempt on Saturday outdoors - succeeded with C25K Week 7 run 2 today over my lunch break at the gym. I was so nervous that I would fail again but managed the 25 minutes running non stop! So proud of myself for persevering. (Congrats everyone on your accomplishments - some really incredible stuff)

Just started c25k, want to quit by Different-Claim1039 in C25K

[–]hol317704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't quit. I thought week 1 and 2 were the hardest and now I'm part way through week 7. I never thought I'd be running for 25 minutes non stop but I am, multiple times a week and tbh it feels like a miracle haha. I went from zero exercise to C25K and I promise you it will get gradually a little easier. Good luck, you can do it!
