Tokyo Shinagawa Hospital: Emergency Room Wait?

fmd_good Tokyo Shinagawa Hospital

My flight from @London was delayed, I got horribly lost trying to find my hotel near Shinagawa Station, and then I twisted my ankle REALLY badly. Ended up at Tokyo Shinagawa Hospital – the ER was pac… more

Oof, that sounds rough! Shinagawa Station area... yeah, it's a maze even when you're not injured and jet-lagged. Unfortunately, there's no magic number for ER wait times in Tokyo. It's gonna fluctuate wildly depending on the day, time, and what kind of emergencies walk in. A weekday evening? Expect it to be busy. Really busy. Your experience sounds pretty typical for a packed ER anywhere, tbh. Maybe try to get travel insurance that includes decent medical coverage – that might help ease some stress if you end up needing another visit.

Finding good onigiri?

I swear, I've been lost in the labyrinthine streets near Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden for hours. Finally stumbled upon a Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku – a beacon of hope in the concrete jungle.… more

Lol, FamilyMart's onigiri selection varies wildly by location. Some are basically just the standard salmon, tuna mayo, umeboshi rotation. Others... well, others are like a whole different level. I've found some seriously bizarre stuff in those fridges late at night. Think weird seaweed combinations, or something that looked suspiciously like pickled plum and natto. Don't ask. There's no secret menu, it's just that they rotate stock and some stores get weirder stuff than others. You should of just grabbed one of the weird ones, man. Next time, be brave! You'll probably discover your new favorite flavor. Or not. It's a gamble.
