Hi All. First Time In Japan I'm From San Diego.

[Skywalker420]

Hello everyone. I've been traveling through Japan for the last week and have finally made it to Tokyo. I'm with 2 friends both male but they like to sleep at night I am here for the next 5 nights and wanted to have fun (nothing specific but I'm open minded).

I have been reading the forums for the past week and am very impressed with the tag crew. Lots of good information and nice/helpful people.
So I thought I would make an account and say hi. In the hopes that I might have a memorable last few days in this wonderful country.

A little about myself. I'm from San diego california. 34 years old. White male. I am a bartender by trade and have always loved Japan and Japanese women.

Thanks again for all the great info and hit me up if you have any ideas for must do's while I'm here.

Welcome!

San Diego is a good place. I loved. Welcome to Japan. Japan, especially Tokyo has plenty of entertainments. Sightseeing spots, clubs, bars, shows, escort girls, massage etc etc.
I recommend you to get good massage between daytime sightseeing and nighttime fun. If not, your legs get too tired to stroll this crazy fun town to the fullest. And I totally agree your affection to Japan and Japanese women.
Hope you and your friends spend the best 5 days.

Here is my recommendations.
Real Japanese Sushi (I know there are two great sushi bars in SD though.)
Yakitori (You'll love it.)
Tenpura and Soba are touchy for many Westerners actually.
Asian style massage (Personally I like erotic massage (good oil massage by kinda escort club). Avoid whole Chinese style finger pressure unless you're very patient. It hurts.)
Roppongi is not as fun as before. But there are still many places for clubbing. At Motown, you can always see some Japanese girls for gaijin guys.
Kabukicho is also famous. But be careful not to get a rip-off. There are many black guys talking to foreign travelers. They are pullers in. Some bad hostess clubs (kyabakura) and sex shops (delivery health, deliheru) are very risky.

You don't know what you're talking about.
Soba and Tempura are some of the easiest foods to eat.

The only people I know that can't east Soba, are allergic to its ingredients.

What does "touchy" mean with respect to types of food? I can't figure out if it has a positive or a negative meaning.

I'm sure that 'davidj150' is Japanese - His writing is definitely "Japanese-English" and by touchy, I'm guessing he's trying to convey that foreigners don't like tempura or soba. Or, maybe, picky?

 

[Skywalker420]

Thank you for all the awesome ideas. I love soba and temura. I think we are headed to ropongi after sightseeing today. I have my first oil massage scheduled for tonight. So wish me luck.

Speaking of advice. Is bodyesute legit and what should I expect. It will be my first tg massage.

If you have a shop picked out, let us know the link or name. It's more a matter of the shop reputation and what they actually provide, service wise.

 

[Skywalker420]

No shop. I found one that comes to the hotel. I found out about it from a post back in 2011. The email I have been contacting the service through speaks English so that was a plus. Just can't find any reviews or pictures about the person/place. I will write a full detailed post when I finish. Hehehe.

I have seen quite a few foreigners didn't like soba. They said soba is plain and has no taste. One girl from Mexico said soba and tenpura don't taste. She replied "I don't know it's good. It's like... not food for me because it has no taste." "Not bad, not good, how to express... touchy." Maybe she wanted to say iffy or hard to take care of the long noodle. Anyway, I understood her feeling. So I wrote it.
Of course, it depends the person. Foreigners for soba exist. Maybe you love soba.
And don't be aggressive.
My grandparents came from China. I spent my life in a couple of countries including U.S.A. Or is TAG only for English native speakers?

I'm sure you're fluent in Japanese, so write in Japanese if you don't know what you want to say in English.

Stop trying to pass yourself off in this way, it's getting annoying.
