How many days?
Tokyo, tons to see, recommend 2-3 nights to get the minimum experience.
Bullet Train to Osaka, 2 nights there at least. Bullet train to Nagano to see the mountain snow monkeys. I'll go into a Lil further detail when u tell me how long

We're doing a 5-7 days, nothing crazy. What did you do to prepare for the jetlag?

If you have the sites you used to purchase tickets for sites you visited, can you send the link?

Looks like I got Montreal in Spring'26 for a wedding. Been to Toronto but never Montreal, should be good.

Gonna be honest. I dont ever really run into jetlag issues. At a young age I was back and forth from San Francisco and New York on redeyes, so I've been naturally trained.

I'm heavy into mileage programs and credit cards with airline loyalty so my way of looking into flights won't help you at all since I have status. Also work takes care of a lot for me


Regarding Tokyo. Are you flying into Narita or Haneda? Haneda Airport is a easy subway ride into the city while Narita is a 45m Express train ride. In Tokyo make sure to hit the fish market early one day and try out all the seafood. Its mazing breh. Also, visit all the Team Lab interactive museum experiences. Youtube them. Districts... go to akihabara at night and see the arcades, anime shops and toy shops. Shinjuku at night is an experience, home to tokyos debauchery. Young people out all night partying, Tokyos apparent 'Red Light District'. Beware of the Nigerians trying to scam you into gogo bars. Shibuya more so for daytime shopping and a Japanese entertainment area. Roppongi for clubs and bars that westerners can enjoy. Ginza for higher end shopping and see ginza girls. Tokyo skytree and tokyo tower, you gotta go up to at least the top of one. Make sure to hit some temples. My fav 2 are Senso-Ji and Zojo-Ji. Make sure to eat some quality Wagyu Steaks.

You only need 1 full day in Kyoto. Osaka is even more of a foodie city than Tokyo. You defiantly have to experience their fish market. Honestly, I love going to arcades in tokyo and doing shyt i wouldve wanted to do as a teen. If you have a day go up to Nagano and go see the snow monkeys.

Bless I'll take note, my guys said they're prioritizing traveling to Osaka, Tokyo and Nagano.

Do you have any suggestions for night clubs?

Last July I hit SD, LA, then Seattle. Then hit Vegas.

At that time, I said I wanted to visit 12 cities in 12 months. Since July I ended up hiiting the following:

Newark
Indy
Minneapolis
NYC
Orl
Kissimmee
Ft. Lauderdale
Miami
Arlington
Alexandria
DC

I have trips to Raleigh, SF, Philly, Dallas coming up.

Heading back to Seattle in June, then back down to Cali.


Its been a blast.

Unfortunately my new job is work in office, I'll see how they operate in terms of PTO. Want to get some travel in

 

[KING WILL]

DC and I guess that central DMV area has been my fav.

Alexandria was a cool lil city/town. Laid back, everything was chill and calm.

DC I stayed at The Salamander hotel. Went to a few Museums and Monuments.

Arlington the bnb I stayed in was called The Sur. This shyt was amazing. I extended my trip cuz I didnt want to deal with flight delays due to that snow storm. Ended up booking that bnb for super cheap since it was so last min.

shyt felt rich ngl.

Overall the food was great. Other than Vegas, Id say DC food scene was the best. LA is close, but DC got it.

Women were cool. Them Ghana women gotta have the goat slim body builds.


Seattle was amazing too. It hard to beat SD weather in July when youre coming from FLA.

 

[phcitywarrior]

Keeping things chill until summer.

Chicago in early August. DC sometime in summer just not sure when.

Thinking about another SA trip but not sure if I should do end of summer or December.

Also gotta find time for London and Nigeria, likely summer but again, not sure when.

I’m trying to knock out all the marquee Cali trips eg Tahoe, Napa/Sonoma, Redwoods, Big Sur, Monterey, San Diego etc that I’ve pushed off for far too long

EDIT: Shimza coming to LA at the end of the month….
