Our #tokyotravelguide to Asakusa Tokyo!
One of Tokyo’s most popular and enduring tourist destinations, the ancient district for #asakusatokyo is home to the iconic Sensō-ji Temple (the oldest one in all of Tokyo) and Nakamise-dori shopping street.
Take a tour with us on today's Tokyo Travel Vlog as we discover all the best things to do, places to go and best #tokyostreetfood to eat in Asakusa. From 3-month-aged sweet potato to viral unagi onigiri, the Japanese street food in this area is a unique combination of the past and present, a reflection of Asakusa itself.
We also discover some hidden gems, like a modern day Japanese spa and a nordic coffee shop. Along the way, we also visit a beautiful Meiji-era shrine and savor one of the best bowls of tempura in all of Tokyo!
Stay tuned for the rest of our 7 Days in Tokyo!

man the both of yall stay killing with the immaculately palpable vibes~ shoutout Ralph and his contax .. g2?! would love for you guys to upload maybe a ... photo focused video encompassing all of the rolls you went through in Japan? and lastly, asakusa is lowkey probably my favorite area in tokyo. offers you a little bit of everything. can't wait for the rest of the japan uploads! fingers crossed that you guys maybe hit kyoto and osaka as well on this trip?! unless it was strictly tokyo only of course~

@RalphSam 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your awesome comment! We're doing several more Tokyo vlogs and a Kamakura one, then we'll return to Japan early next year 😉🌸 G2 film pics on every vlog of course! And yes, Asakusa is a must, especially the back alleys! It's just special 🌸

@jfretless 5 месяцев назад

Seriously! ...I was thinking how to describe why these vlogs are so attractive. This is the second video from Ralph & Sam and I'm hooked. Adorable couple, great aesthetic, and the film photography from Ralph is the cherry on top. ...not to mention, informative. Wife and I going in March and one day left unplanned. ...because of Ralph & Sam, we'll be spending a day in Harajuku!

Pint on top of Fuglen!!! Thanks for such a great tip. I'd never have known about it (or gone up there in physical reality when walking around the area) if I hadn't seen this video first. What a brilliant day you guys had! Unagi, ice cream and a couple of hours recharging and relaxing in such a beautifully appointed meditation 'pod'/sauna. Dreamy!

Lord this whole video has such a calm vibe, the style of vlogging and seeing the guy ( I think his name is Ralph, my bad first time on this channel) taking pictures are breathtaking. May I know which camera he's using? I plan to visit Japan next year (if god allows me) and I wanna bring an instax film camera since I feel Japan will be the perfect location to take multiple film instax pictures. Can't wait for your next vlog

@RalphSam 6 месяцев назад

Hello! This is Ralph. For my film cameras I use a Contax G2 and Olympus mju ii. It's a fun, portable camera combo and it's special to shoot in the Japanese sun. Thanks so much for your kind words. More videos to come soon! And I hope you make it to Japan next year 🌸🌸🌸

Love your vlog! Making me so excited for my next trip to Japan next year! But, I see you take a lot of people pictures, do you ask beforehand if it´s okey?

@RalphSam 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Well, some photos are with permission with even a friendly chat in some basic Japanese, and some photos are definitely street style photos in public where it's all about admiring the Japanese clothing style or how the lighting falls on them that day ✨️

@Candygoree 6 месяцев назад

@@RalphSam thank you for answering😊 I've been there two times before and did as you wrote now, some I got to ask and some I just snapped street style in the moment, but later I've been told that I should always ask everyone and if not gotten permission, I should not take the picture.. So made me a bit conflicted for my next trip how I shoulg go froward this time.

@dt.jeanne8165 4 месяца назад

Hey, love the vibe of the video ;) ! Maybe you already know, but for those who don't, Yasukuni Jinja is a very problematic shrine in Japan. 1068 war criminals are enshrined and 14 class A criminals from WW2 were also secretly enshrined in 1978. Politicians sometimes come to pay their respects to the dead which always sparks scandal within the international community. The museum Yu-shu-kan next to the temple is also a negationist musuem denying japan's war crimes. So, take your precautions when going ;)

@yishihara55527 6 месяцев назад

@@RalphSam I lived in Japan for seven years. It's one of the most racist places on Earth. There are shops, restaurants, and bars with signs on the doors saying No Foreigners. And even if they don't display signs, many will cross their arms when you enter and claim that it's because of the language barrier that they are refusing service. But this is all a bunch of BS because I'm fluent in Japanese (been working as a Japanese-to-English technical translator for decades). I remember going to Denny's in Asakusa across from Kaminarimon and they wouldn't give us menus. I ordered from memory and that just made them more flustered. Behind the smiles is a lot of hate/racism. Always be aware of that.

@RalphSam 6 месяцев назад

I don't doubt that Racism exists in most if not every country. If you're anywhere long enough, you can pick up on it. Many Asians even direct it towards fellow Asians, whether it's a bias towards the mainland Chinese or South East Asians like us, Filipinos. It's not always overt, but as you said, it does exist. It's a sad truth. But I hope it doesn't deter people from visiting these places and giving them a chance to see for themselves. Thank you for sharing your experience.
