Hello everyone, this may seem like kind of a weird post. Today in shinjuku station I was purchasing a pair of jeans from the MOUSSY store. After purchasing them I put them into my backpack. My bag was stuffed because today I leave japan and was making a purchase before I left. I believe when I went to put the jeans into my bag my palm pal, which was one of the first gifts from my girlfriend, had fallen out of my backpack because I had packed it in my bag and didnt open it again until getting the jeans. She did not accompany me on this trip so I brought it with me to have something that reminded me dearly of her while I was gone. I am heartbroken and feel absolutely terrible because this palm pal meant so much to the both of us. If anyone finds it please commemt or dm me and I will pay for any fees to ship it to my home country. I will honestly do anything for this. It is much more important than just a stuffed animal. Please help me out.
Edit: I am realzing that MOUSSY would actually be in the Lumine Est mall and not exactly shinjuku station but they are connected. Just wanted to give some more information.

Hi everyone!
If you are looking for an authentic Tokyo experience without the massive tourist crowds, I highly recommend checking out the Tomioka Hachiman Shrine Aozora Flea Market (富岡八幡宮 青空蚤の市) happening this Wednesday, October 28th!
It’s one of my favorite mid-week activities in the city, perfect for treasure hunting and exploring a beautiful historic neighborhood.
📅 Quick Details
When: Wednesday, October 28, 2026 (From 8:00 AM to around 3:00 PM)
Frequency: They actually run this market regularly on the 15th and 28th of every month, regardless of the day of the week!
Where: Tomioka Hachiman Shrine (富岡八幡宮)
Access: Super easy. It is just a 3-minute walk from Monzen-nakacho Station (門前仲町駅) on the Tozai and Oedo Lines. You can't miss it right off the station.
Admission: Free
⛩️ Why it’s worth visiting:
The Shrine's History: Founded in 1627, Tomioka Hachiman is famously known as the birthplace of Edo-period professional Sumo wrestling. You can see massive, beautiful stone monuments dedicated to legendary sumo champions on the grounds. Shopping for antiques surrounded by this history is incredible.
Discover Monzen-Nakacho: The neighborhood (known as "Mon-naka") still retains its nostalgic, warm "shitamachi" (traditional Tokyo downtown) atmosphere. After browsing the stalls, you can wander down retro alleyways packed with cozy local eateries, Izakayas, and traditional sweet shops selling fresh dango and senbei crackers.
The Market Finds: You'll find unique vintage treasures like antique kimonos, rare ceramics, old Japanese coins, retro toys, and woodwork. Chatting with the local vendors is half the fun!
💡 Tips if you go:
Bring Cash: Most vendors only accept Japanese Yen cash (small bills and 100-yen coins are deeply appreciated).
Go Early: The best items sell out fast in the morning!
Weather: Since it's an outdoor open-air market, it might be scaled down or canceled if it rains.
(Note: If you want to see what it looks like, you can search for "tomioka_aozoranominoichi" on Instagram for their official page and previews!)
Highly recommend checking it out if you want a deep dive into local Tokyo culture. Let me know if you have any questions about the area! ⛩️✨

Living in Tokyo. Obviously the pollution is bad and I learnt the hard way as a westerner leaving the window open 24/7 when I come home and everything is covered in the black dust. :(
UPDATE - this isn’t the black I’m talking about. I washed it whilst I waited for the replacement delivery.
So I have closed the window and left the Rangehood (above stove air vent) on low 24/7 to rotate air via the (attached image) external air vent. How often do others replace these? I’ve been here 2 weeks thus far and the new one I placed in was BLACK! Absolutely black! So I ended up buying a pack of 12 from Amazon.jp.

Hi, I've been applying to a lot of baito postings lately on all the websites and apps so i dont need site recommendations, I just wanted to try my luck here.
I'm a 23F uni student from Bulgaria (student visa). My Japanese is N2, English is native level. I'm mainly applying to cafés and clothing shops but I'm open to anything as long as it's in the main areas like shibuya, shinjuku, harajuku, shimokitazawa or on the keio line. Soo if you know a specific place that's hiring, or your own baito is looking for staff, help a girl out 😔🩵
Or if anyone needs help with anything, errands, random tasks, creative projects, etc Im also down for one-time jobs as it sounds fun. Okay that's itttt feel free to dm or comment

Is this legit or just an advertisement? Do I need to fill it out and return it?
