After nearly 2 years living in Japan I have finally found the thing I miss most from home… Poker! Unfortunately I had to travel around 1.5 hours to play and be mindful of the time so I can catch the last train home (11:03pm), but it turned out to be quite fun and profitable. The game is No Limit Holdem with just ¥25/¥50 (25¢/50¢) blinds I managed to take home a profit of ¥13,450 ($134.50). Needless to say I was happy. Besides that it was a fun group of guys who I would love to join in on their game again assuming they allow me back to take their money.
A nice pint of Bass Ale was an additional added value bonus.

Took long enough. How often they play? Did you only speak Japanese throughout the game?
They play every week and it is mostly Gaijin so it is all English. Went back a second time last week and had another winning night. Just kinda far to travel, Round trip travel time ends up being almost as long as actual play time.
