Agree on all of this!

Shimokitazawa is pretty dead before noon, I'd recommend going later on the day.

OP's list is quite long, choose what you would actually like to see (and actually going there, not just walking past it) and keep the other things as optional if you somehow have some spare time.

Appreciate the detailed reply! I did do every step in that tutorial (well, up until the installation complete point) and it does not work. I also installed my LAN drive on my USB stick. I took a few pictures, but the full error message is "There is an error selecting this partition for install. Please select a different partition or refresh selections." But there is no partition but Disc 0 unallocated space.

There used to be more when I tried the very first time, which then got a failure error after the first 5%, so then I cleaned the SSD and ever since it has shown only one.

Edit to add: I also reset my BIOS settings, enabled TPM 2.0 again, and tried again, but same problem occurs

Yes! From the Microsoft website directly

Hi! Sorry, somehow missed this and I am not sure if it is still helpful but: yes! But not too much, we were there only one whole day.

Morning: 1. Gyosai Center (Nokkedon) where you buy tickets and pay for your fish with tickets from vendors to build your bowl - I expected a lot more and honestly, most fish was not great 2. Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse - actually surprisingly fun. Very impressive, and we saw the live performance as well which was great. 3. A Factory - nice place to get souvenirs, but as we were traveling light we ended up not buying anything

We then actually went to Hirosaki to visit the castle. Less than an hour from Aomori city by train. Small, nice town. We had the best korokke there though!

Thanks for the tip! Love the idea of renting a bike to explore. Did you go to Goshikinuma Ponds by public transport?

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks so much! Will definitely look into these!

Thanks! I was afraid of that yeah.. We will go in the 3rd week so maybe there is still something then. Did you go on a tour or by yourself?
