{"post":{"id":267,"title":"Asian Games 2026 in Japan — is it actually worth building a trip around?","body":"Asian Games 2026 is trending and it is in Nagoya, Japan. I have always wanted to go to Japan and this feels like a good excuse. But is a multi-sport games trip actually fun for a regular tourist, or would I be fighting crowds for the worst seats the whole time? Anyone here built a trip around a big event like this?","community":"Travel","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":155,"name":"Games days + rail pass days","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-22T13:15:39.804Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/267","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":155,"name":"Games days + rail pass days","body":"Do not build the whole trip around the Games. That is the mistake everyone makes. Book 2-3 event days in Nagoya, then use a rail pass for Kyoto and Osaka in between — multi-sport events have dead gaps between the sports you actually care about, and that is where the trip gets fun. I did this for a different big event and the non-event days were the ones I still talk about.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-22T13:20:30.579Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
