In search of new things to do in Tokyo, I spent the day with my Japanese buddy Yuta. He acted as my local tour guide as we explored a less-touristy side of Tokyo.
Things to do in Tokyo (from this video):
Tokyo's Koreatown - In the Shin Okubo neighborhood of Tokyo is Koreatown - A great place for markets, restaurants, street food, and perhaps most popular attraction the pretty faces of Korean Pop World.
Record shops of West Shinjuku - The West Side of Shinjuku is a music lovers paradise, home to many recording studios and record shops, its a great place for locals to discover new music and enjoy the classics.
Eat Udon - Udon is a thick, wheat flour noodle served al dente in a broth based of soy sauce, rice wine and dashi (like a fish stock).
Kagurazaka - Kagurasaka is a quiet traditional Japanese neighborhood left off most tourist maps. home to beautiful maze-like side streets and an interesting french influence.

The last time I was in Tokyo, I stayed at a hotel in Shin Okubo ( Koreatown). It was a nice area especially at night. There was a cool evening vibe and the food was good. Thank you Gareth for this video. It brought back happy memories of my stay in that area. I hope I can come back next year.

I used to hate natto, but after trying it several times (adding a little sugar and salt on it), now i love it. I eat it plain or with the spicy mustard and sweet soy sauce that comes in the frozen packages of it. I honestly eat it daily and sometimes with udon. It's an acquired taste for sure, but definitely one a person can become acclimated to and come to love!

Gareth, You ate Natto for the first time. You are so brave. I love udon but I have never eaten natto udon. You did not like the Mitarashi Dango, did you? Dango is my favorite. The milk shake looks so good.

Korea town in Japan... Didn't expect that :P especially when the political aspects of those two countries aren't really... Well, let's say it isn't "well". Fells good to see that kind of thing bonding these two countries!

Well, political issues shouldn't let ordinary people of both countries hate each other, I feel sad to see so much hate exist between us and Korea. I am Japanese and my family have been coming to K-town since I was a kid for shopping and dining. I have many Korean friends in Korea and one of them is visiting me from Busan next month. We are planning on hanging out in K-town. Lots of good restaurants and shops there!

"That Japanese man Yuta" is not a Japanese original. I think so. Maybe, he is a former Korean naturalized in Japan. Ordinary Japanese men have not thought that Korean men are very beautiful. Korea has the culture of cosmetic surgery, and Many Koreans have surgery.But many Japanese do not hoping too much cosmetic surgery. Japanese and Korean culture and mentality are completely different. 「That Japanese man Yuta」は元々は日本人ではない。私はそう思っている。 彼は日本に帰化した元韓国・朝鮮人でしょう。普通の日本人の男性は、韓国の男性が とても美しい、とは考えてない。韓国には美容整形をする文化があり、多くの韓国人が 手術を受ける。しかし多くの日本人は過度な美容整形は望んでいない。 日本人と韓国人の文化や精神性は、全然異なっています。
