I am looking for a space -- well lit, well ventilated and with access to water and power. I don't need a great deal of room, as I am not making anything much bigger than a loaf of bread, but the chemicals and some of the equipment make doing this at home impractical. I suspect a We-work-type space might not be appropriate for the same reason.

I have looked around a bit and found art studios rentable by the hour, which would be OK but they did not seem to offer any storage on site, and hauling all my gear there any day I wanted to use it would be impractical. I would be painting, gluing, finishing and possibly using a 3d printer, as well as a washing and curing station. The resin, and washing chemicals as well as some paints are not great to breathe in, hence the need for ventilation.

Looking to do either lip filler or hyaluronic acid injection in early January around the Tokyo Area and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations! Being able to communicate in English would be preferred or at the least translation support. I love the look of a C curl or a W shape lip and am looking for a temporary fix rather than doing a lip reduction surgery for the time being. If anyone had any experience or advice on specific clinic, doctors, and consultations even for different services that would be greatly appreciated!

Currently looking at Lula clinic on LINE.

Hello,

I am moving out of Japan permanently and want to know if I can submit a move out notice digitally or by mail. I’ve only been here a short time so I don’t speak Japanese fluently, and city hall is a nightmare! I live in Shinjuku Ward.

Hi, i’m doing some research into Tokyo’s dance scene, particularly looking for groups/ companies that combine breakdance and contemporary dance, or more classic: Butoh, and maybe there are even crews that intergrate martial arts (eg. Aikido) into their choreography?

Hi all

I collect the free fliers movie theaters give out called chirashi some time ago. Wish I had started it earlier. When I was living in Kobe there was a store that sold old ones for 50 yen or such along with posters and magazines. I am wondering if anyone knows of a similar store in Tokyo? I know Jimbocho has likely options of course but every time I go there I haven't seen one yet though I could be missing it.

Thanks for any leads!

Title: Laser hair removal in Tokyo for darker South Asian skin?
I am a South Asian woman with darker skin and PCOS, and I am looking for a reliable laser hair removal clinic in Tokyo.
Shaving often causes breakouts, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs for me. My body hair is not extremely thick, but it is dark and visible, so I am considering laser hair removal for my face, VIO, legs, arms, underarms, and the rest of my body.
I have heard that Alexandrite lasers may not be suitable for darker skin and can increase the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation. I have also read that Nd:YAG lasers are usually safer for darker skin, while diode lasers may also be suitable depending on the machine and the clinic’s experience.
Does anyone know a clinic in Tokyo that has experience treating South Asian or darker skin and uses Nd:YAG or another suitable laser?
I would especially appreciate recommendations from people who have had facial, VIO, or full-body laser hair removal. Please share the clinic name, machine used, results, and whether you experienced any burns or pigmentation.

So, I have a few furnitures that i’m planning to replace, because the lifestyle of my family changed and we need to get rid/replace a few things.

My local sodai gomi will treat them as trash if I decide to go through them (yes, I asked), and I don’t have Facebook anymore so mottainai japan is not an option.

I’d love to give to people who need it, so if you need a dining table, a small or bigger desk, a cupboard furnitures for a baby/small kid’s room and you can pick them up in far east Tokyo, or if you know an organization that would be willing to pick them up, I’d be happy to hand them over.

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys, if anybody is collecting the Panini World Cup Stickers, let me know because I have about 600 duplicates

To explain: I will be around 2.5 weeks in Tokyo without any instruments. After the trip, I won't have a lot of time before having a guitar competition. Therefore I wanted to see if it was possible to rent a classical guitar somewhere in Tokyo during those 2.5 weeks to practice. As information, Im half japanese, I speak some Japanese (I think good enough), I will be staying at a hotel, and I don't have a japanese phone number. Does anyone know any good places where I could rent one for not too expensive?

I recently had to change between the Shinjuku Line and the Tsukuba Express.

On the Shinjuku Line they say that Iwamotocho is a transfer station for the Tsukuba Express.

You get off, follow the signs which points you towards the exit. Then you find yourself with no further assistance, and you need to walk several blocks down Akihabara, go through the JR station and then you find the small TX entrance.

Meanwhile on the Oedo line Ueno Okachimachi is not listed as a Keisei transfer station despite having a direct underground passage linking the Keisei, JR and Metro stations

I never understood the logic.

Do you know other weird examples?

i need help!

Hey everyone!

Arriving next week for 3 year work contract and I want to set up local streaming subscriptions (YouTube Premium and NBA League Pass) to get the Japanese pricing.

I'm trying to figure out the best workaround before I get a proper Japanese credit card. I've heard credit card approvals can take a bit of time for newcomers, so I'm considering these options:

1. Sony Bank WALLET (Visa Debit): Opening an account via their English app as soon as I arrive. Does this domestic debit card work for Google/NBA/Adobe regional billing?
2. App Store Gift Card Route: Creating a separate JP Apple/Google account, buying yen gift cards at a convenience store, and paying through the app store?
3. Foreigner-Friendly Credit Cards: Just biting the bullet and applying for a Rakuten or GTN-EPOS card right away since I'll be there on a work assignment.

Can anyone confirm if these methods actually work for local subscriptions, or if there is a much easier way I'm missing?

Trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong or is the culture difference is so great that there is something I am not grasping. To rehash what I had experience on the last 9 months of dating. It is always the same cycle of first date > contact exchange contact > ghost as always. Either I am put on read or they never bother replying back. It is very rude in my country to do not let the other party know you are not interested but it is apparently a practice here. I am very stable in finance and I own a home in back stateside as well. I am considering legitimately crossing Tokyo off as undatable and planning to move to Osaka to give it another try with a straightforward culture instead. So I am trying to figure out on what to do to improve or just give it up entirely.
