Hey guys, just got to Tokyo today! What’s the best way to meet other nomads here? Any active meetups perhaps?

You still in Tokyo !?

I am in Japan for a couple of days and traveling through different cities. Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto mostly.

pranitgarg 2mo

Hey, still here! We can get together and do something

Also, open invitation for anyone that wants to meet other nomads in Tokyo :)

mamane19 2mo

Sure thing. I am here until Friday. We can plan something. Where are you staying !?

jasiek 2mo

How much is the ticket?

ardninja 2mo

Near Umeda station, I’m leaving Friday too want to meet up tomorrow ?

ardninja 2mo

About $40 usd for weekday tickets

Hey everyone, going to Japan in October. Is it realistic to hope to get a better deal for a lease than airbnb if I stay 6 months (with a visa run in between, I only get 90 days) and, if so, where should I look?

Thanks in advance!

biggihs 2mo

I don't know how to get the best deals, but I did the same last year (2x3months), but I only stayed 2 months in tokyo using a share house called Sakura House. I really liked it and to me it didn't feel that expensive.

sergiors 2mo

Thanks for the recommendation and for confirming that a visa run isn't a problem. Where other than Tokyo have you stayed? I'm flying to Osaka.

kamaha 2mo

Hi all! Any nice cafes to work from / coworkings in Sapporo?

tomothedeck 2mo

If you stay longer with tourist visa, Apartment Japan is a potential alternative of Airbnb. It requires only your credit card and passport image, It doesn’t require guarantor for room contract.

iamchetanp 1mo

Hey everyone. I will be in Tokyo for a week and I am seeking advice on how to hunt for iPhone 17.
Apple Store, Yodobashi Camera and BIC Camera websites mention no restocking dates, but I imagine the phones get to the stores from time to time

mike01 26d

Why would you like your iPhone to have constant camera shutter sound?

anaiden 26d

That’s a common misconception: the iPhone will have the shutter sound in Japan only, but setting a non-Japan region and physically moving out of country disables it.

But even this was the case, I wouldn’t care at all, because I barely take 30-40 pictures per year.

suuuupaman 26d

Is there an Osaka nomads chat?

nerdontour 26d

I’d recommend ordering online on the official Apple Store. You can use any convenience store as a pickup point or ask a local friend to receive it for you.

I did that previously when Apple AirPods were difficult to get in the physical stores. Needed to wait 6 weeks, but eventually I got them.

anaiden 26d

Thank you! That was my initial plan as well, but it’s impossible to use in-store pickup for the new iPhone in Apple Store Japan as of now. It’s not just sold out, but “restock date is unknown”. Hence my questions about smarter ways of getting it

nerdontour 26d

I’m planning to get mine but in a few months

elena30 24d

Hi everyone, I'm Elena from New York. I'd like to go skiing in Hokkaido in December. Does anyone who's been there have any recommendations?

melunia 20d

up! I will be staying in Tokyo for a week, and I need a place to stay with my laptop till late (working european hours.. ) I would appreciate any help!

melunia 20d

Or - can seomeone recommend a sim card with max speed internet? (no throttling, or at least, after 50 gb 🙂 )

melunia 20d

I see that renting pocket WIFIs is quite common - has anyone used it?

aristides 20d

Yes and they very reliable - I went with Ninja WiFi from the airport. Worked everywhere from Nikko to Hiroshima without an issue.

jasiek 19d

I used ubigi (esim), 4G pretty much everywhere

melunia 19d

thank you 🙏

andrew9 19d

I used Ubigi esim in Japan and it’s great. You can pre configure it to activate automatically on arrival instead of fiddling with setting it up at the airport WiFi

maxkorlaar 13d

I use mobimatter, as I reckon it’s one of the cheapest per gb I recall

maxkorlaar 13d

Also, any folks around Ikebukuro who know a nice bar to grab a drink and/or want to join me & my friend?

allgo 9d

I used Pangia

lorenzodavis 9d

Hey everyone! I'm currently looking for accommodations for my first trip to Tokyo, and I'm wondering about the wisdom of choosing a cheaper place away from the big name tourist centers. Im not so much into nightlife, fwiw.

Ill be there for a month, and Im considering units in Itabashi, Meguro, and Saitama.

vicentevial 9d

For daily chill life I liked Setagaya, ideally close to Shimokitazawa for occasional fun; It's also next to Shibuya
