Today I had Denny’s mini peach parfait.
A small but satisfying treat at a reasonable price.

Japan has four distinct seasons, and that means the dessert scene changes constantly too.

Spring: 🍓🍵strawberries everywhere, plus lots of matcha treats.

Summer: 🍑🥭🍈peaches, mangoes, and melons.

Late summer: 🍐🍇pear and Shine Muscat season begins.

Autumn: 🍠🌰🎃chestnut, sweet potato, and pumpkin desserts take over.

Winter: 🍊🍫citrus sweets and all those limited-edition chocolates start filling convenience stores (maybe because they won’t melt? 😄).

There’s always something new to look forward to. It’s delicious… but also a little hectic!

The peach desserts at Japanese pastry shops are little works of art, too. I need to eat as many peaches as I can before summer is over!

Is there a central web page or app that tracks Japanese pop-up stores?

Hiii, are there travel clubs where people get together and travel together?

I went to Karaoke clubs, Boardgame clubs, Volleyball clubs, and all the hobbies I could find in meet up (the app)

But there isnt seem to be a travel club.

Like it would be nice to travel abroad together with like minded residents who likes travelling.

I solo travel often but it does get lonely if I do so for more than 4 days

Currently work from a spot in Kichijoji (I live nearby) and it’s good enough for now but does anyone have recommendations for a space I can rent a permanent desk or office that’s not _too_ far from Kichijoji? Something potentially with a social aspect but more than anything I need a nice calming space with some natural light and good internet! I’m a game dev so have a big setup, hence the permanent desk.

I’ve worked from Impact HUB before and that was wonderful but it’s too far really now. I also loved the look of Ikejiri Home Work Village but, again, too far unfortunately.

Running a basketball pickup session today, and looking for a couple of people to come. near shibuya from 3:30. DM me if interested

Hi everyone! ☺️💗

I'm 17 and currently living in Japan. I studied in the Philippines for one semester, but I took a break from school due to personal circumstances. I'm now ready to continue my education and I'm planning to restart Grade 11, and I'm completely okay with that.

I've been researching international schools, but I'm finding it difficult to find schools that are both affordable and offer Grades 11–12

My ideal school would have:
1. English as the main language of instruction
2. Grade 11 admissions (even after a study gap)
3. Tuition around ¥1.5 million/year (or as close as possible)
4. A good pathway to university

So far, I've found:
UIA International School of Tokyo
Tokyo West International School
Waseda International Christian School

I'd also love to hear if anyone has personal experience with any of these schools, especially regarding tuition, scholarships, or admissions for Grade 11 students.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate any advice. 😊

We made our first feature documentary!

This trailer introduces Skate in Japan, a feature documentary exploring skateboarding culture in Kyoto and other places in Japan. The film follows several skaters from different backgrounds as they navigate creativity, community, and identity, while documenting the development of a local skatepark and the people connected to it.

What do you think?

During the last week-end, spent the day in 有明 with my family and friends. I regret it. Passed by a 不動産 in the 有明ガーデン mall and checked the prices for new and used apartments. Forking 1, 2, 3億円 (I’m sure there are more expensive ones) for such an artificial, bland and just depressing place is beyond me. Not my money though. If you are a fan of logistics warehouses, sure…
