DISCUSSION
Hey Kotaku East/Brian et al, has Kotaku ever done a queer geek travel guide for Japan? I’m trying to plan a vacation there, but all the gay bar recs seem a few years outdated, but is there any specific advice to traveling-while-gay in Japan? And also just general safety? I’m sure that general tourist stuff is easy enough to deal with, but I’d like to inject some queer, off-the-beaten-path stuff while I’m there.
