I don’t know why people are contributing to this minger of a thread.

It’s just AN EXCUSE FOR RHOUSES’ VERBAL DIARRHEA.

Ooh look at me, I’m going to Japan.

Blah blah blah blah this was fire blah blah blah some shit about food blah blah Uniqlo even better in its home country blah blah I did a turd the size of an orca and these magical Japanese toilets flushed it first go!

    bosstrabs lol. I’m actually looking forward to his travelogue. An instagram photo story featuring him being cut from one of those overnight sleeper pods using several fire crews and the jaws of life would make my year.

        RichM The beach at Boracay is easily the best beach I’ve ever been too

        I went there the year they shut it - it was disgusting. Absolutely gutted as was expecting what you’d described.

          Millsy I’m actually looking forward to his travelogue

          I’m sure his travel log will be of ample size.

                bosstrabs jealousy rearing its ugly head. Was waiting to post in june, but my dad wants the full itinerary in place, hotel bookings and the visa, 3 months in advance.

                    Henry i might skip shiretoko and save it for another time. Land in sapporo, spend the day there and drive across to kushiro with a one night stop in obihiro. Obhiro worth a visit? Reading that train ride there from sapporo will be quite scenic also.

                        The sin here would be ‘envy’ not ‘jealousy’ actually.

                        But yours is ‘GLUTTONY’

                            bosstrabs ill probably lose weight on this trip with all the walking and no ganj for two weeks.

                              Sapporo. Yes
                              Obihiro. No
                              Kushiro. An even bigger no

                              I made the mistake of staying 5 nights in Kushiro. Absolutely nothing there. Lots of crumbling empty buildings that have been abandoned post early 90s. Obihiro. Again very little to see.
                              To be honest, the train journey is nothing special. For more scenic routes, you are better sticking to routes to Takayama in Gifu. Or maybe Takamatsu to Kochi on the island of Shikoku.

                                  Top of my list of places to visit. Had a v cool trip planned in 2020 which got killed by COVID, and haven’t got around to rearranging yet.

                                  We’d planned to spend a week in Hokkaido. Couple of days in Sapporo, a couple of days at a high end onsen in the mountains in Niseko (e.g. https://www.mokunosho.com/en/), and a couple of days in the East of the island (Shiretoko, Tsurui, Kiritappu, Kitoushi) looking at wildlife.

                                    vinnyt77 Cannot fault that itinerary Vinny. You’ll have great time.

                                        Henry fack you just killed my hokkaido trip. lol. ill definitely fly into sapporo and spend the night there. Ill need to figure two-three more nights. Let me look up gifu. The trails and hiking will need to be chill, dad is 75.

                                        Heart was set on Kushiro because the onsen spa looked amazing (La Vista) - right in the middle of a forest with a river running through it. Fox and deer coming right to the room. Everyone raving about the set meals. Had no plans of leaving the property, thought it would be a nice way to end the hokkaido leg.

                                            rhouses Sorry man! Niseko would be a better bet for an onsen as it’s fairly close to Sapporo. The train trip to Takayama can be done in 4 hours. Stay the night there then head on somewhere else.

                                            If you are thinking of getting the rail pass, don’t! The price has gone up massively. I would recommend inland flights to Sapporo using the JAL Explorer Pass site. For train tickets, get there early as the queues have become horrific now that people are no longer getting the rail pass.

                                              The Japanese can barely conceal their disdain for Westerners or Koreans, fuck knows what they’ll make of Rhouses’ rabble.

                                                I’m too Rhousesey for Milan, too Rhousesey for Milan, New York and Japan

                                                bosstrabs ive grown up with the japanese, best friend in high school and roommates in college. Guess you could say they are worldly. My best friend is more Indian than Japanese, he just did a 5 year stint in India, he’s back, will spend a couple of nights in his town - the gyoza capital of japan. But yeah, not gonna lie, slightly nervous about being with the people and the hardcore language barrier.

                                                Will not be taking cologne, just the odourless deo. Lol.

                                                  They say the language of love is universal. You’ll be fine mate 👍
