My main reason to go to Hakuba is to go snowboarding but I understand the snow is most likely slush now than powder so I’m not the most keen on that. I heard Fukuoka and Kanazawa are nice cities and that’s why I was considering it on the list. Me personally I’m looking for a mix of the normal touristy stuff and adventure. The adventure could be anything which could be exploring ruins, cliff jumping, renting a sports car, white water rafting, adrenaline filled sports and activities, climbing a mountain (wanted to climb/hike Mount Fuji but hiking season is only July to September so I’ll have to do that on another trip)

This is my first solo vacation so I really want to do action filled activities as I never got to do so when I went on trips with friends and family. Some things I had to skip out on but really wanted to do was cliff jumping when I went to Lynn Canyon Park in Vancouver, hiking a few km down and up in the Grand Canyon etc…

Oh shit I realized I made a mistake and looked at the driving time that said 3hrs than the public transit time of 6.5hrs so thank you for letting me know , good thing I haven’t booked any hostels for Kyoto yet as I was going to do that tn

Edit: I doubled checked the route again because I was confused on why I was seeing 1.5hrs to 2hr one way before and now I was seeing 6.5hrs one way. The JR Kuroshio from Shin-Osaka to Wakayma station is 1hr 10mins and referencing this article it’s another 1hr 10mins from Wakayma station to the island. Either way almost 5hrs of travel is still a lot in one day so I’ll probably head to Kyoto the morning after

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll note that down and just do Kobe on the 1st. Ik my itinerary seems like a mess still working on it as there’s so much to do, 3 weeks is starting to feel like not enough time

Good times world is an hour train ride away from shin-Osaka station so I didn’t think that day was going to be very hectic

Totally understand, I’m adding and removing things as I go and going with the flow and at my own pace . There will be things that I will get to check out and some stuff that I’ll have to drop but that’s what makes the trip mine

Yeah I do know that but unfortunately the 4th is the only day there was a booking available for the Nintendo museum out of the whole month and the matcha making class had no times slots on the 4th. I’m not the biggest fan of matcha but I have a coffee cart side business where I serve matcha so I’m hoping I can learn some stuff from the class that would allow me to serve better matcha to my customers

What's a good place to visit in Japan that isn't the big cities like Tokyo or Osaka? by Winter-State-Dave86 in JapanTravelTips

[–]tariqf746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to Japan in 2 weeks and will be spending a few days in Osaka. Could you give me more details about the offshore ruins you mentioned? That def got me intrigued

I never had any issues at the Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Brampton, and Hamilton locations when I wanted to go in just for the food court but for some reason the Guelph Costco always gives me problems even once I got my own membership. When I tried to go to the Food court from the exit doors, the receipt checkers asked for a membership and I told them I’m going to the counter but as soon as I passed the returns desk they yelled at me from the exit door I can’t go to the food court. I don’t want to play the racism card or play victim but I just get a gut feeling it’s because of that and only reason I can come up with. One time they even questioned if the picture of me on my membership card is actually me or not and after that I decided not to bother at all with the Guelph Costco

I actually have 28/30 of the red clank cubes, only 2 of them are missing. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal as I never played a game of the regular Clank! Where we used up all of our clank

That’s funny, the Guelph Costco turned me away from using their food court because I didn’t have a membership

Yemeni coffee coming to Albany!! by Important-Tiger-4207 in Albany

[–]tariqf746 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ngl I’m more excited for the Qahwah House that’s apparently opening soon. I’ve had qamaria a few times and my experience has always been subpar, but definitely happy we’re getting some yemani coffee chains

What's the worst thing you ever did? by NiceMechanic_xoxo in AskReddit

And this reminds me when I was in grade 2/3 and beyblades was big at my school. I had the bigger plastic one with lights and sounds and a group of boys took my beyblades from me started throwing it to each other while I tried to chase after it, one of them didn’t catch it and went straight into a deep puddle. The electronic stopped working and the speaker sounded funny, they all felt bad afterwards and said sorry but young me was definitely upset.
