Keep an eye on the gutters in the streets - apparently some of them have populations of live koi living in them to eat up all the grot & algae etc.

Please get a famichiki and stuff it into an egg sando for me, please. I'm sad I didn't think to try that last trip.

Also, please enjoy every moment. And try allllll of the ramen! I can't wait to hear about your adventures!

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh oh oh and look out for the ink stamps you can get from various places like stations and tourist places like Shibuya Sky etc!

[โ€“] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, one of the first things I'm going to do is get a goshuincho!!

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

I'm sure you're aware, but it's considered respectful to keep your goshuincho for temples and shrines, and use another book for regular tourist stamps. I can't wait to see what you get!
