The initial shock of having to figure out new subway/train lines is the hardest part of getting around tokyo without speaking japanese but it's a fairly easy city to navigate as an english speaker. I had a friend go recently and she said it was fine

I had a friend go recently and she said it was fine I'm really looking forward to it, I always wanted to go and I've known plenty of people who say the same, that it's surprisingly easy to get around. Also I get to see Okada finally beat Tanahashi at the Dome!

Damnit, I missed my shot at an Area A ticket! I had it queud up and everything but poo poo happened and when I refreshed they were sold out. Oh well, I don't get paid for 3 more days and I would have been eating nothing but noodles if I'd spent 20500 on that ticket anyway. How good are the Area B tickets? I don't really know what the Tokyo Dome's layout is.

Tokyo is super easy to get around as a foreigner, don't worry about that. Assuming I'm not going somewhere during New Years I'll probably go to the show this year, so if you make it over get in touch.

Is there some kind of seating chart to view when purchasing tickets? It seems like you just select a section then put in your credit card, but you don't actually get to see where your seats will be.

The conversion rate is still incredibly favorable. You save nearly 40 bucks US on the highest tier of tickets which is awesome. As for getting around Tokyo, as others have said, it's a really easy city to navigate and the people there are generally friendly/helpful towards tourists. My fiance and I are going in 2017 as she wants to go to a new years concert and I going to WK is on my pro wrestling bucket list.

It literally hurts seeing everyone buying WK10 tickets rn haha Maybe I'll save up for the next one. It's the flights that put it completely out of reach rn, otherwise I prob could have done it. Anyway I just got done watching NOAH Great Voyage In Osaka, can someone tell me why Taichi comes to ring looking like Gackt threw up all over him? I'm getting 2004 flashbacks to my Visual Kei days rn

I was to just pull the trigger and do it, but it seems like such short notice. I've been throwing it around in my head as an idea that would be cool to do, but I've not actively planned any part of a trip to Japan. I think I might need to sit this one out as well and just actually plan something for next year so it doesn't feel like such a mad rush.

I looked up some flights and airBnb's just to see what the price range was, but tbh I would only have the time off and money to go over for 2 days or so. Might as well wait, save up, and then go properly for a week to get in some good sightseeing stuff as well. It's the first thing going down on my new holiday form for sure. How badly did I want to wear my Okada coat to the dome though....

I have a move coming up soon, too, so if I'm gonna do some crazy trip to Japan I should really be saving for it for a while as well. Definitely want to spend a full week there and maybe two if I can swing it. And this just gives you another full year to totally perfect your outfit, not that they don't already look totally badass.

Protip: I don't know if you fly much, but anytime you're in an airport stick close to the booking desk instead of a restaurant or bar. If you start hearing the desk say "We are looking for volunteers--" immediately rush the desk, because they're probably about to announce a free travel voucher if you get bumped for a later flight because they overbooked. I got $500 off a ticket that way once, and another time they gave me a "free round-trip ticket to anywhere we fly". It's especially common in major travel hub cities. If I hadn't had expiration dates on mine I'd totally go to a Dome show.

Yeah, there is no way I would have done this on the spur of the moment but after WK9 I figured I should start saving and hope I could get WK10 tickets when they became available. It's going to be an expensive trip, but I've saved up for it and I'm gonna get to spend a good week+ sightseeing in Japan, as opposed to rushing in for at best a couple of days and then flying straight back out again. The only downside is that tickets became available relatively late in the year and too close to when they open up Wrestlemania tickets for sale, and I had kind of hoped to be able to do that next year too.

Not unless you live in Japan and get NTV's paid satellite channel. Right now there's no way to watch it period. NOAH stuff usually takes a while to even get televised in Japan, and once that occurs RealHero has to get his hands on it and find the time to upload it. Once its finally up you can certainly enjoy it for free with a clear conscience though, it's not like NJPW where there's a cheap and convenient legal way to get it.

Its a shame Japan has insane piracy laws and actually enforces them because I'd love to setup a capping PC and redistribute Japanese wrestling to the world.

NOAH and NJPW should partner up and distribute their shows on NJPW World and just rebrand it to PURO WORLD!

That's probably not going to happen due to how the Japanese television industry works. Unlike in the States the Networks retain rights to the libraries instead of being held by the promotions themselves. NJPW is on TV Asahi and NJPW World is a joint production between the two companies. NOAH is on NTV. That Suzuki-gun show a few months ago was basically a way to get around that and have a NOAH show on NJPW World. Hopefully we see more stuff like that in the future. This will probably predictably end with Marufuiji finally beating MiSu to save the company, but part of me wonders if this might actually be the one time the invader heel actually accomplishes his objective. If NOAH folds they could give NJPW a badly needed infusion of new native talent and restructure a new promotion as a direct satellite instead of whatever the hell the murky relationship is now. Of course, NJPW's poor track record of pushing outside talent comes up on basically every page now..... Thauros fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Oct 19, 2015 |

I really hope NJPW figures out something soon with their top level talent. I know Naito's first big push after winning that G1 ended badly but he is so god drat great now. Shibata is doing nothing but putting on great matches and the fact that they just haven't given him an IC title run is criminal at this point. Goto is great, poor Kota moved up to HW only to do nothing. I hope Honma wins the Never title just so someone new gets to have the belt for a while. I was super disappointed that Naito didn't win the case at King of Pro Wrestling.

I got some cheap NJPW blu ray's for WK7,8 + 9, they also do NOAH and other JPN stuff, dunno if I can share the website so I'll just say it rhymes with Hudo Heels.
