I, two of my sisters, and a nephew visited Tokyo in 2015. We had a week and four sets of "I want to see these things," so none of us were able to see everything on our lists. We were too late for cherry blossoms, there were no sumo events that week, we didn't even think of trying for a geisha experience, and we all agreed to save Akihabara for another time. However both Disney parks, Kabukiza, and the Shibuya crossing (complete with viewing from Starbucks and then browsing manga & TCGs in the Tsutaya store) were accomplished. A select list of shrines and temples in the Tokyo metro area might be a good subject. We visited the Meiji Shrine, Sengaku-ji (where the 47 Ronin are buried), and Gotokuji Temple.
Thank you so much for your comment and this suggestion! We’ve been speaking about adding this very thing into our wheel house of content over the coming weeks. 😊 This city is so large it’s hard to cover everything in a single trip! 😅
Quality virtual tour of Tokyo with great footage and narration. I enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing more content on your channel. Like and support from Bangalore
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend dinner with a geisha or kabuki for a first time visitor. It's often difficult to even gain access to dinner with a geisha unless you have the right connections. I'd also suggest doing this in Kyoto, rather than Tokyo. I also suspect the sort of person who enjoys Disneyland/sea isn't going to be the target audience for Kabuki. Also your film of Akihabara needs an update. Some of the buildings you show aren't there anymore.
Thanks for the input. It’s greatly appreciated! Yes this is correct about Dinner with a Geisha in Kyoto vs Tokyo. But you don’t need to have the “right connections”. They have traditional group experiences with a Geisha on sale with Viator & Trip Advisor. Here’s a couple links to that: www.viator.com/tours/Tokyo/Geisha-Banquet-in-Tokyo/d334-19442P3 www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g1066449-d19066645-Traditional_Private_Geisha_Experience_Dinner_Show_in_Tokyo_Fukagawa_District-Koto.html Also this video is for general audiences and not meant to be targeted to a specific audience. 😊
Thanks for offering a differing perspective. I’m sure you’re aware that “Fun” is subjective. What are some things you would consider fun when visiting another country or city for the first time?
