All Weekend

Ongoing

• Landed in KIX airport, was supposed to reach in the afternoon, but flight got delayed a couple of hours, and i ended up only reaching my hotel at 7pm, so nothing much i could've done except going to get dinner and walk around. i stayed near Shinsaibashi and was a really convenient area as it was near a shopping street, Amerika mura and dotonbori, and a metro station. I also got the ICOCA card at KIX airport station, which basically had no issues in other prefectures as well, so highly recommend you all get that if you land in KIX airport.

• Kuramon Market > den den town > amerika mura > dotonbori shopped around a little for clothes and anime goods, and basically walked most of it, since the places felt too close to take the metro, but was still far so get your legs ready for it. Overall Osaka people were VERY friendly, customer service everywhere felt very energetic compared to tokyo(IMO, not saying tokyo was not energetic, but osaka is on the next level for me) really regretted not having more days for osaka as i wanted to visit more places like abeno haruka and explore more of the city. I originally wanted to spend 3 days here, but i wouldve finished my shimanami kaido trip on a monday, where giant bicycle would be closed, so i did 2 days instead. Oh but i didnt managed to book a bicycle from giant because the bicycle my size was out of stock, and i was camping booking site the day booking was available.... so it did not matter. more on this later
• I ended the day walking over to dotonbouri, saw the huge crowd at the donki area and did an instant 180 nope out of there. One thing i did notice, there are A LOT more to dotonbouri than the crowded areas, so if you are in the area, look beyond the crowd, and venture deeper into the street. I spotted a lot of bars outside of the crowded areas, so if you are into those go check those out, rather than crowding at the same areas and waiting for hours to get into the same place.

• Checked out of Osaka and booked an airbnb in Onomichi to stay the night so as to start the cycling the very next day. I Got the JR Setouchi area pass here which will help cover my next 7 days(shinkansen in the area, ferry trip etc) note that this pass do not work for local trains that is not under JR, eg being Hiroshima local tram(Hiroden). but this pass still saved me some money, since i took a stop at himeji, onomichi, later on ferry from matsuyama to hiroshima, and then hiroshima back to osaka area.
• Himeji Castle, kokoen garden(early morning)
• i visited/walked past a few castles in Japan, and my favourite was this and Matsuyama castle, highly recommend a visit. Kokoen garden was amazing as well with a couple of different sections with different themes.
• Onomchi (late afternoon) -walked around the area, cat alley, went up the Mt Senkoji railway. Overall beautiful place, but not going to lie tiktok overhyped the place a little for me, the building/residences felt old and antique, i can see why a lot of people are into it, but not my thing. Mt senkoji was still amazing though, and definitely worth investing a day to explore. Also, black onomichi ramen was great.

• as mentioned earlier, i was not able to book a bike from giant bicycle, so i booked one from the shimanami kaido website, was a simple process to do at home with translation tools. got my bicycle and went on the ferry 2 mins away. i had already forwarded my luggage from Osaka, from a convenience store (my hotel did not provide shipping services) using kuroneko, and had a bag with me. D1 i cycled from Mukaishima to the start of Omishima, and stayed a night there. I will say this, prior to this i had not touched a bicycle for maybe years, and didnt do much training aside from weight living, and that was a mistake :D while i did finish the whole trip without much issue, i certainly did struggle in sections like uphills, so definitely recommend doing some trainings before you go on it. But if someone like me can do it without training, you all can too so dont worry too much about it.
• Another unfortunate thing that happened is that it was raining on this day, i cycled from 9am to 1pm to reach my lodging, and had to call it a day as i was drenched. Originally wanted to cycle around Omoshima(there are shrines and stuff) and go back to sunset beach on the previous island for sunset, both ruined due to the rain. the clouds were so bad i couldnt even see the sun, but well things happened, just move on, at least i got a break for my legs

• thankfully D2 was a clear day, and i finished my trip at Imabari safely, although my legs were dying at this point. For those physically fit, 1 day definitely possible, but for someone like me nope out of question, so was thankful i planned 2 days for it. Had a lot of scenic places to stop by as well, definitely some of the best coastal/moutain sightseeing ive ever done in my life. I would still have preferred a road bike from giant though as it would've made the climbs a little easier, and worth the extra bucks. Overall if you are into cycling, DO THIS IT WAS GREAT.
• Again, worth it to take two days for it as it is sooo worth it get off the trail to visit some parts of the islands. I did not do much of it on D1 due to the rain, but D2 i went off the trail to visit some other parts of the island, such as a rose garden on one of the islands. It was really easy to get back on track as well using the pamphlet map, as all you need to do is find the blue line again. there are a few blue line routes though, but there are english indicating that they are (either shimanami kaido or sightseeing route, there is one more route which i did not come across), so dont worry about getting lost and get out of the cycling route to explore more of the islands
• After returning the bike at imabari, took the train to Matsuyama to check in, and my luggage was already delivered. If you use the kuroneko service, be sure to check the delivery time on the official website. Afterwards, went to eat some seabream dishes(local specialty), and it was one of the best meals of my life, so highly recommend it if you visit Matsuyama. Afterwards, i went to dogo onsen to take bath. while i do not have tattoo, i am honestly not comfortable with getting naked with others, so i booked a private room at Asuka no Yu, came with a private room and onsen for 1.5 hour(if i recall), came with services like free milk and a free snack as well. The person guiding me around was very nice as well, made me feel like i travelled back in time to old Japan days, 10/10 services and shoutout to the staff there. There is only 2 rooms per time slot though so be sure to book it early, and dont book it at the latest time slot as you may miss the last train.

• I was originally going to go to the cat island aoshima, but decided against it as i was tired from the cycling trip, and did not want to disturb the locals living on the island, so ended up taking a rest day. Went around the city shopping for clothes and anime goods, hunting for more seabream dishes, and called it a day
• Also for anyone looking to go to Donki, go to those OUT of tokyo/osaka. the only downside is that there aint a section dedicated for tourist souvenirs, but otherwise had a lot of the same items, and WAYYYY lesser people. Just dont be a nuisance to the locals as it felt more like an upsized supermarket for the locals, rather than the popular spots in Tokyo/Osaka where it might as well be a tourist attraction

• took the ishizaki jet from Matsuyama port to hiroshima, cpvered under the setouchi area pass. i reached my hotel before check in time, but thankfully the hotel staff was nice enough to hold onto my luggage and i could begin my day. Went to the peace memorial park and museum, not going to elaborate much about it, but everyone should at least visit it once in their life. Only thing i will say is the when i visited the museum, the time slot clashed with multiple schools' trip, so I did not get to see each exhibition in detail, as again i hate crowds, but dont really know any way around this as i assume schools take their kids here all year round. maybe go in the early morning or something? not so sure, maybe someone else will have a better tip about this.
• Anyways, afterwards, i went to okonomimura(next to another donki, again not that many tourists) to have some hiroshima okomomiyaki. again strongly recommend this as this is a variant that you dont see outside of hiroshima very often, as they will add noodles and some other unique ingredients into it. Probably the best okonomiyaki ive eaten by far. Afterwards I called it a day although it is only in the evening as not going to lie, the mood in the museum got to me a little

• woke up in the early morning and went to Miyajima, caught the second earliest ferry. Be sure the check the website for the uptide/low tide timings, and visit based on which ones you prefer for the torii gate at itsukushima shrine. The specialty at there is the anago don so be sure to try some out. I did not do the hike as it was raining a little so i just spent the time walking around the shops and got back to hiroshima
• Went to shukkei en, had a low entry fee
• At this point of the trip, i really underestimated the amount of steps needed in Japan, so do plan a few rest days if you are going on a long trip so yea. My hotel allowed free rental of japanese manga so i borrowed some to read it in my room(helps a lot with learning japanese since it had furigana)
• 17/5 Travel to Hakone, stop by Toyosato Former elementary school(K ON school)
• I got my hotel to forward my luggage to tokyo, and went to hakone. the delivery was estimated to take 2 days, so the hotel did not have my luggage when i checked in the next day. so again, be sure to pack accordingly based on delivery timing. I had a duffle bag with 2 days worth of clothes with me so i was good to go.
• I took the shinkansen > Osaka so that it is covered under my area pass, and booked another shinkansen. To be honest, not sure if there was a more efficient way, perhaps you couldve booked from osaka to wherever at the exact same seat when you are still in Hiroshima, but i was taking a detour anyways so i didnt bother. i then went from Osaka to Shiga to visit the K-ON real life school for my anime pilgrimage. after a few photos, went back on track to hakone, getting the hakone 2 day pass along the way at Odawara station.
• Only reached my ryokan at about 7pm. My ryokan was a bit more unique as it did not provide dinner, but it was cheaper than others, considering that i am solo. the couple at my ryokan was however kind enough to book a spot at a restaurant nearby, and even guided me there. It was very dark at night at the area i stayed in, so do be careful around the area at night.

• One tip here, be sure to download google maps, but DO NOT blindly follow it. i lost signals at some parts of the mountain, and while following the downloaded map to get to a station, the map guided me into the woods, and i nearly got lost. Thankfully, there was a local hiker nearby taking the exact same route as me(he also got lost), and we managed to get onto a walkable path helping each other.(also an instance i wouldve been screwed without knowing how to speak jap, so if you cant, be sure to download the japanese pack for google translate in case of these situations where you are out of signal)
• got back onto the hakone loop, visited Owakudani, took the ropeway(you can get a great view of Mt Fuji here on good days, so check the forecast for sighting of mt fuji), lake ashi pirate ship.
• If you are headed back to tokyo from motohakone, DO NOT FOLLOW google maps if you have the hakone pass. map asked me to take a local bus service from a nearby bus station that comes at 1-2 hours interval, and that one is not covered under the hakone pass. there is another bus station near the port whose bus service are covered under the hakone pass, but it does not show up on google maps. ask for help from the tourist information centre nearby if needed.
• Anyways, using the above stated bus service, i went back to odawara to take the train to tokyo. the pass i had did not include romance car, as i did not come here via Shinjuku, so was not worth the money for me.
• Checked in at my hotel, went to Ginza, uniqlo etc

• the previous night, i checked the weather forecast and saw that this is the only day mt fuji is clear for both morning and afternoon, and it was set to be sunny, so i took an impromptu trip to Mt Fuji. I head to tokyo station to take the bus from there to Mt fuji station. i ran into some trouble there, the bus required you to buy a ticket from a nearby station rather than IC card, so my trip got delayed by an hour. be sure to take not about this as google maps does not take the time to buy ticket into account. Google maps even displayed the IC symbol, so i assumed i can use my IC card, but well it proved me otherwise
• Anyways I rented a bike at Taiyo motorcycle shop, i only had a 200cc motorcycle license so i couldnt rent a bike in tokyo and ride to mt fuji, as i wouldve needed to take the highway(or take extra 3 hours riding), and any bikes 125 cc and under cant even get on the highway, so i opted to rent a bike nearer to mt fuji. I got a CBR125 ands tarted my trip, planning to go to tenku no torii and loop the 5 lakes.
• First stop was tenku no tori, it was up in the mountain and had to drive up the mountain road. Had very little people, which was not surprising considering how inaccessible it is, but the view was soooo worth it. For anyone asking for tips about mt fuji, just avoid all the tiktok spot and whatever lawson fuji photo spot, there are SOOOO many more beautiful places to see mt fuji from, like this one. The view was magical yet there were only like 3 other groups of people there, If you cant drive, there is a bus that brings you nearby, and i even spotted a few people cycling up. i got a little unlucky as i got there a lil late at 10am, and by that point mt fuji got shy, so i couldnt get a full view of the mountain :c
• To make matter worst, the weather forecast was wrong and it started raining. i only had a thin cotton jacket on me, and i am not used to riding at a cool climate(16 degree celcius, I am from SEA so ive never ridden at a low temperature like this) so i was freezing on my bike the whole time, had to take a couple breaks at convenience stores to warm myself up. I headed to Motosu lake, which was the furthest one away from me, but highest on my priority list as that location had some of my fav mt fuji photos i see online, and also Yuru Camp. Unfortunately by the time i reached there the tip of the mountain was almost fully covered, and i could not get a lot of good shots for it.
• I then headed to the shibazakura festival, and by this point mt fuji was fully covered. the garden was still great to look at though. Afterwards, i rode back and returned the bike. I had to refuel my bike, but the person at the petrol station was nice enough to help me through it. Do have some cash though as they did not accept credit card for me. After returning the bike, the owner drove me back to a nearby train station. Shoutout to Tanaka-san from taiyo motorcycle rental!
• If there were anything i would change about this biking trip, is i wouldve stayed in the area instead, so that i get a bike early(or the previous day) to get an earlier view of mt fuji at the various scenic spots.

• Now i am not someone who shops for clothes and stuff, but even then it is worth to check out Uniqlo and GU, former being cheaper than my own country's outlet while latter is a sister brand
• Went around exploring Shinjuku and shibuya, explored around and nothing too special to be honest.
• Caught a movie at Shibuya
• Saekano anime pilgrimage nearby

• took a trip to Hitachi Seaside Park via train and bus.
• I missed the peak days listed on the website by 1 or 2 days(can't remeber), which i thought should be fine as i thought the flowers would still be blooming, what i did not know is by past peak they meant they would start mowing down the flowers itself..... so that was a mistake.......
• Anyways while the day trip was basically a wasted day, i rented an e bike to at least bike around the garden, and headed back to Tokyo
• Ended the day off at Akihabara

• Shopping anime goods, nothing much to say here, but for the weebs out there Nakano Broadway and Osaka DenDen town are the two places i bought most of my anime goods, so be sure to visit them rather than only going to Akihabara, the difference in pricing is jarring

• By this point, i was starting to limp around as i did not take enough breaks from walking, i essentially messed up my ankles. so logically, i decided to go play some sports at round 1 :D was fun though so no regrets, batting cages were definitely the highlights. Yes you can just go to other batting cages in japan, but i chose to do the Spocha in round 1 which included multiple other sports and arcade games, free to play for certain number of hours. One minor thing would be that this was one moment where loneliness got to me the entire trip, as it have been more fun with friends, considering 4/5 of the sports involves playing with friends.
• I had to go back to rest in my hotel and ice my legs afterwards though

• went to kamakura and visited the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine, and street food at komachi-dori
• bunny girl senpai anime pilgrimage
• went to enoshima, ate their famous shirasu-don, and went up the enoshima seaside candle for the sunset

• Shimokitazawa has a flea market at every weekend, making it a perfect time for visit, along with some thift shopping in the area
• Your lie in April Pilgrimage
• Had to cut the day short as i really did not want to keep limping for another half a day

• went to Akihabara to do my last anime shopping, but everything was overpriced compared to the likes of den den town and nakano broadway
• ended up spending most of my time at arcades, and their rhythm games are a must to play! every 300-500yen was enough to keep me busy for nearly an hour

• 9am flight from HND airport, and the monorail to the airport operates from like 5 or 6 am, so had no trouble getting to airport early and checking in my baggages

• yes cash is king, but in tokyo i barely used any as most places are adapting to accept cashless, so i wouldnt worry too much about it, and ATM in 7-11 is everywhere if you need them. The further away you go from cities though, is where you need most cash, including transport as some do not accept IC card.
• get out of Tokyo, like yes tokyo is a nice city, there are a lot of activities to do, but a lot of them you can do in other cities as well? as seen in my trip report, i was most enthusiastic about the times i am NOT in tokyo, it is a great city but for Japan was much more to offer for tourism outside of tokyo. I deliverately didnt go to places like Asakusa to avoid overcrowding, so maybe i just did not get a full taste of what tokyo has to offer, but my highlights of the trip are definitely the places out of tokyo.
• dont make all the tiktok places be the main point of your itinerary, like i came across a bunch of these places, and it never fails to put me off with the sheer number of people trying to take photos or video, like you can get a better photo by just taking a 2 minutes walk down the road? Lawson Fuji, that overhead bridge everyone seen in their tiktok, the kamakura slam dunk spot, trust me the best photo spots are ones you stumble upon walking around aimlessly, i promise you you will find a spot so much better than these tiktok baits that are swarmed with tourists.
• luggage delivery is a lifesaver, especially if you are looking to do any outdoor activities, if your hotel dont offer the service, just head to a nearby 7-11 or yamato company outlet, it is quite common.

• I am a member of the LGBTQ community, particularly, I am a bisexual (sapphic leaning) trans woman who came out about 2 years ago. Though I still do not pass fully, I'm happy to be myself when I can!
  
• I love ttrpgs (duh)
  

• 2-3 dnd players who can keep the following information below in mind

1. No bigotry (this means racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, etc). I cannot allow this at the table and this will be met with a ban if known.
2. You must be 18+ to join. I don't expect terribly mature themes, but there could be some, and I would prefer to play with adults between the ages 18-29 (around my age).
3. You must be either an ally or a member of the LGBTQ community to join (in vain with rule 1).
4. Please respect others' boundaries and experience.
5. No SA. I am ok with brief romantic or light sexual scenes as long as they are fade to black.
6. Have fun and feel free to give me feedback! Let me know if there’s something you’d like in the game, and I will do my best to accommodate your wish within reason.

• Have some dnd 5e experience under your belt. I'd recommend at least a year. It's ok if you’re somewhat new, but this game can be challenging at times and is somewhat different from your normal dnd adventure, as I will explain later.
  
• Have some experience with roll20.
  

• We will be using Discord VC for sessions and Roll20 for maps and actual gameplay. I expect sessions will be 3-5 hours in length, 6 on rare occasions(haven’t had one go that long yet)
  
• You do not have to have your cameras on during sessions, just make sure you're able to properly hear what's going on within the calls and that you have a working microphone and internet connection.
  

• Set within the Forgotten Realms setting, a classic official dnd setting created by Ed Greenwood, and continues to be a very used setting within dnd 5e play. The location is Chult, a tropical peninsula located in the southwestern portion of Faerun.
  
• One of the most important things to note about this game (that your characters would know) is that for almost 2 months now in game, there has been a magical death curse spreading throughout the world that prevents the dead from being raised via conventional means of resurrection magic. What this means is that, for the most part, dead characters will stay dead. "People die when they are killed", as one wise man once put it. Therefore, I'd highly recommend having a backup character or two in mind during and after character creation. So far no character deaths have happened :)
  
• The source of this death curse has been located by the party to be in Chult (not something necessarily known by your characters since it’s not public knowledge), deep within the jungles somewhere.
  
• This game has about 70/30 combat to rp ratio, so expect a decent amount of combat, exploration and dungeon crawling.
  
• I will allow homebrew within reason, but please run it by me first if you are going to do this. I may not allow everything, but I am flexible overall.
  
• Notably we’ll be using XP for this game rather than milestones, and you will be starting with the same XP as the rest of the party at level 6. I will let you start with 500 gp and 1 uncommon magic item or 2 uncommon magic items, in addition to starting equipment
  
• Current party consists of a Fairy Artificer and a Shifter Beast Barbarian
