@dwaltiz @matrix i really didn't enjoy tokyo that much last time i visited. tons of weirdo africans that make everyone uncomfortable, maid cafes, everything's packed. it's not like kyoto or osaka isn't filled with tourists but tokyo was really over the line

@lain @matrix "The Tokyo you knew from [insert Japanese media] no longer exists"

@dwaltiz @matrix i mean there's still tons of fun / interesting stuff in tokyo, but if you go to the normal tourist places it's all this kind of stupid stuff. if you go to the normal tourist places in other japanese cities it's not like that.

@lain @matrix @dwaltiz When I was living there I went to that denki town or whatever they call it place, where there is supposed to be a bunch of little electronics shops, most of them closed, the ones remaining had high prices for tourist bs.

I went to the capsule hotel that is a building with stacked cubes, it had been demolished...

I went to used items shops, prices are too high, not gonna find good deals for the most part...

etc

@lain @dwaltiz >everywhere you go there are africans
