I came back with about 10 packs of free tissues after my first day of walking around Tokyo.

After a while I learnt to avoid them haha.

[chopobo]

my friend goes jus start speaking to them in english and they will go away

or say sumimasen

or do what every one else does and ignore

[topi]

Hehe.

I just walked a safe distance away from them. They can be hard to spot when the street is busy though.

Although it was easyer than normal for me to see over the top of everybody haha.

what's the go with this tissue thing? sounds weird...??? I'm planning on going over in the next year or two...

[VIPERGTSR01]

When I was there I had a whole pile of tissues, tissue people everywhere, did come in handy with all the humidity at the time.

Just small packets of tissues with advertising on them. I just ignore them.. althought i do feel rude by just walking right past... especially when the pretty girls are trying to hand them out... Lol.

Always take the tissues!

You'll never know when you need to "drop some friends off at the pool" and find that there's no toilet paper at that train station squatter you're in...

[Rezz]

^^^I would expect only a few people to understand that post

[C110GTR]

is it reasonable to rent a car in tokyo to drive around like to mt fuji maybe niigata as well?

would it be cheaper just to take the train?

[omg]

Best thing to do IMO is get your JR pass and use that cover the distances then hire a car through tocoo to go exploring. If you're in a city the chances are you'll be better off on public transport, for somewhere like fuji you're better off in a car

Free tissues kick ass!

This is so true. And if you are female you will need them for other times too!

I was once refused free tissues!!! I thought this was extremely rude :kick:

Anyone know names of famous Supa or websites so I can find the nearest Supa

How are we suposed to help if you don't tell us the city your in? Do you know how many 'Nihonbashi's there are in Japan? Theres one in Osaka for a start.) and go for your life... theres about 100 supermarkets for you to browse.
