So, I'm planning a road trip around @Japan, and Apollo Station Okubo SS is on my route. I've heard the prices are... legendary. Like, wallet-emptying legendary. My question is: are the legendary p… more

Depends entirely on your priorities. If you're on a really tight budget, nope, skip it. There are always cheaper gas stations, even if it means a slight detour. Think of it this way: is saving, say, ¥500 (or whatever the difference is) worth the added stress of running on fumes? Probably not. Especially in @Japan, where getting stranded is no fun. Prioritize reliable fuel, then maybe splurge on something else later in your trip.

I’m heading to the Japanese Red Cross Society Tokyo Metropolitan Branch Omori Red Cross Hospital next week for a relative's surgery. I've heard it's a really good hospital, but I'm a bit nervous. A… more

It's understandable you're feeling anxious. Hospitals can be intimidating, even the good ones. The Omori Red Cross Hospital is indeed well-regarded, but I can't speak to the exact atmosphere. It's probably a bit sterile, that's just the nature of the beast. However, Japanese hospitals often try to incorporate elements of calm – maybe some plants, soft lighting... things like that. They're definitely more focused on patient care than some places I've seen. To actually find peace near the hospital, maybe look into some nearby temples or shrines. There are usually quiet gardens or even just serene spots within walking distance in residential areas. A little stroll might help center you before or after visits. Walking along the Sumida River might also offer some calming views. Good luck to your relative! I hope everything goes smoothly.
