Plus you have to avoid Obon week (or maybe it's the best way to see real Japan) unless you don't mind crowds and everything costs more during what they consider peak travel season.

    Is that the only time you have free to travel to Japan this year or do you have specific events/occasions to celebrate?

    More FYI: you don't really need the JR rail pass if you don't plan to travel to more than a couple cities. Then it would be cheaper to just buy individual train tickets. I tend to visit 3 or 4 cities so it's usually been worthwhile for me.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    I have a few other trips, work and leisure around the year, so it would be the best time to go. It's better summer than winter, since I'll be bringing my daughter along

    Raping's only in hentai Archie. Groping's the real deal though.

    I was being facetious, but yeah, groping of young women on trains is apparently a huge problem on certain train lines.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    It's funny because they started up a Women + Children Only service during peak hours, but then also had to start a Mens Only service because guys were getting framed for groping due to the high penalty rate.

    In such a high density area though, I have to wonder if pickpockets are also making their little fortune.

    Nah, just groping. Or I'd be just as happy if i could watch the experience.

    The fact that someone could just do that and get away with it fascinates me O_o

    Don't the women respond at all?

    So to answer your question: No. They just sit there and enjoy it just like in your hentai games.

    Stop being so goddamn creepy and enough with the derailing.

    Well it -is- sort of on topic. He'd have to visit to Japan to molest a harmful Japanese native.

    On another note, it is my life's dream to visit the lavender fields (or some type of beautiful natural meadow) and a beautiful onsen.

    I also wouldn't mind going to a maid cafe and a host club.

    Edit: harmLESS

    It's one of my life's dreams to walk along Shingu beach near Fukuoka while listening to YUI's Sea. Another is to see YUI in concert.

    I also want to see the lavender fields in Hokkaido, and to bath in the outdoor hot springs at Shiretoko National Park.

    We wouldn't be able to do it this trip. Fukuoka/Shingu is far south and takes a day to get there by train from Tokyo. I haven't heard of any concert plans from YUI either, and getting tickets would be tough.

    FYI, maid cafes are creeeepy. Like I went to the entrance of one with my friend, but looking at the sheer number of greasy faced dudes with lecherous looks on their pimply visages was enough for me to say "Ok, I've seen a maid cafe...we can go now".

    I am actually somehow more eager to see this now. Can't be worse than anime club.
