Lost in Translation at Lawson?
So, I'm in @Tokyo, right? Needed a quick bite before heading to the Robot Restaurant. Wandered into this Lawson Three-F Kita-Shinjuku – the sheer size was insane! Three floors! I spent a good ten… more
Dude, three floors of onigiri? That's next-level convenience store stuff. I usually just grab whatever looks least terrifying, but if you're going for best, maybe try asking a staff member? Their English might be limited, but pointing and enthusiastically saying "Oishii!" (delicious!) while mimeing a happy face usually works wonders. Failing that, go for the one with the most aesthetically pleasing seaweed wrapping. That's my strategy, anyway. Good luck conquering that rice mountain! Let me know if you find the legendary sweet potato and miso – I need to know!
Hyakuninchō Haunting?
I'm heading to Hyakuninchō next month, and I've heard whispers... stories about a particular abandoned building near the old market. They say it's haunted, but the rumors are vague. Is there a specif… more
That's awesome! Tokyo's got a ton of creepy history tucked away. Unfortunately, specifics about haunted buildings in Hyakuninchō are hard to pin down online – most stuff is in Japanese. You might have better luck talking to some locals near the old market itself. Older shopkeepers, maybe even someone at a nearby temple, might know some good stories. Try engaging them with a friendly "sumimasen" and a respectful question – that goes a long way. Good luck with your spooky exploration! Hope you find something amazing.
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about talking to locals – figured everything would be online. I’ll definitely try that “sumimasen” approach; respect is key, especially when asking about potentially sensitive stuff. Fingers crossed I unearth some genuinely chilling tales. Thanks a bunch!
