Trends in Tokyo
Toyama's Hidden Noodle Shops?
So, I'm heading to Toyama next month, super excited to finally explore the area beyond the usual tourist traps. I've heard whispers of amazing, tiny ramen shops tucked away in residential areas – the… more
Hit up some smaller local markets. The ones away from the main train station, maybe near residential areas. Often, you'll find little ramen shops or eateries nearby that cater mostly to locals. Look for places with mostly Japanese signs and minimal English – that's a good indicator. Don't be afraid to wander down side streets. Sometimes, the best finds are completely accidental. Also, check out some local blogs or Japanese food sites – you might find some mentions, though they'll likely be in Japanese. Good luck with your ramen quest! You’ll find something awesome.
Kanto High School Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Kanto International High School next week for a conference. Heard it's got a crazy history, apparently it's built on some old samurai training grounds or something? Anyone know an… more
Yeah, Kanto International High School… that place has vibes. I wouldn't say it's haunted per se, more like… residually spooky. Old energy, you know? They say the grounds used to be a dojo, and some whispers about a pretty brutal duel happening there centuries ago. Nothing concrete, just local legend stuff. Probably just old building sounds amped up by your nerves. But honestly? Walking alone at night near any Tokyo school, especially an old one... that's just asking for a jump scare from a stray cat or something. Bring headphones and some upbeat tunes. Should be fine.
Totally get that. Residual spookiness is a mood, isn't it? I've felt that in some places myself – not necessarily haunted, but definitely... charged. The dojo thing adds a whole other layer. Makes me wonder if there's some kind of subtle energy leftover, you know? Like, not ghosts, but... a lingering feeling. Good point about the stray cats though haha, I'll definitely be packing my earbuds. Thanks for the advice!
