Me and my wife have decided to travel Tokyo once a year and by my experience this is the best guide to Tokyo I have seen. Go there and you will fall in love with Tokyo. Only downside is that when you get back (if even) the Japan-hangover is truly depressing. Like if you understand!

I spent 2 weeks in tokyo... ABSOLUTE best city on earth and i been around... London, New York, Paris, Rome, Las Vegas, Deli, Milan, Beijing, Singapore, Sidney, Hong Kong and (comes close to Tokyo) and more. Tokyo most vibrant city on earth.

Went there for two weeks, returned two weeks later and stayed another 3. I have been all over the world and I don't say this lightly. Going to Tokyo was the best decision of my life. Simply life-changing.

Amazingly well done guide to the world's most amazing city. Thank you for making this Alex and Greg -- you've nailed it. Everything and beyond! TOKYO has never looked more amazing to me, and I freakin' live here! Please SHARE this so word gets around. Congratulations on your one year anniversary making the show and keep up the fantastic work. -john

Crowded but clean. The best city in the world.

ive been to London , Toronto , Quebec ,Montreal ,Paris , New York ,Miami ,Chicago ,Columbus oh , Kulalumpur , Bangkok , Singapore ,Dubai abu dhabi , ,Hongkong , Mumbai ,New Delhi Kathmandu and a few others and i agree to what u said at 14:27 , Tokyo is indeed the greatest city in the world , I am madly in love with it , once u visit tokyo no other city is good enough for u , Cant wait to go back

While looking completely stunned and gazing thoughtfully in the distance, with red eyes and shaking voice, he said: "I think that was the greatest thing I've ever eaten. In my life. And I'm not saying this lightly. I mean that. That might have been the greatest thing I've ever tried... Where do I... What am I doing now? I don't even know what to do..." My friend, I know *exactly* how you feel. Japanese food is out of this world.

Thank you so much for joining me on a ramen tour! Keep up the great work!

Guys! This video was incredible! I love that you even had a tear in your eye when saying how much you love Tokyo… wind or no wind, I think you meant it 😉 It's got me even more excited and inspired for my return to remake my Tokyo video next week - perfect timing! Really really great stuff! ✌🏻️

Tokyo seems so overwhelming, complex and with so many people. I have always wanted to go, but haven't found the courage to go yet ... Japan in general seems so different than anything else and I have travelled a lot...

Tokyo is so clean and beautiful.

I've been to Tokyo twice, and I REALLY hope I get the chance to go a 3rd time. I'm more interested in going there a 3rd time, than going anywhere else in the world for the first time. The weird thing is, I get anxiety in large crowds of people. I don't like being around that many people. But, I LOVE THE MOST crowded city on Earth. Part of it probably has to do with how friendly and respectful the people are.

This was so beautifully made with such raw emotion that it almost brings a tear to my eye. It sums up perfectly what I felt when I landed in Tokyo (Shibuya crossing to be precise) for the first time.

Ok guys, this video was AMAZING. The host, editing, footage of the city and the overall writing/directing... so raw and true. Thank you for this! *Subscribed*

Just came back from Tokyo and couldn't wait to write this review. The video is absolutely helpful, especially on the details about getting on the metro system. And it's true that your life as tourist divides now between before and after Tokyo

This travel guide gave me so many tips before my first trip to Tokyo. I watched again it a couple months after I went and it brought back so many memories. Tokyo is so amazing!

I would absolutely love to visit Tokyo.!

I went to Seoul, South Korea but couldnt go to Tokyo, Japan was short on money but im planing on going there this year. I loved Seoul, and i heard and people have told me TOKYO is much better.

Can confirm what others said about 7-Eleven being open in time for a good, early breakfast! I am in Tokyo at this moment and I plan to be there shortly myself! Surprisingly good food at a decent price! Thanks for posting this entertaining and informative video! Well done!

u guys do an amazing job with ur videos. i subscribed becuase of this

Tokyo is great because it has it all - Shinto temples, shrines, bustling non-stop night nightlife, excellent food, beautiful parks, awesome people & enough fun actvties to keep you busy for a month. It's also not so expensive because the yen has dropped in value. It's no more expensive the most European cities.

My wife and I are going to Japan in 03/2017 and have watched endless lists of videos about it. Yours has moved to the top. I like how you have addressed the real headaches of a traveler, from how to get transportation from the airport to the smallest details such as cash still rules there. I am a bit apprehensive but I am soooo looking forward to the trip, specially the food. Subscribed.

Great work again!Last year I traveled 3 times to Tokyo. And it's mind blowing!Your video is the only one that I will sign as the best travel video out there. I have to agree on all points.

Your best one so far. You nailed the content, but most importantly, the soul. And what great memories we built there all together. Thank you and congratulations, Alex & Greg!

Welcome to Tokyo!!東京へようこそ！

I don't think I've ever agreed with anything as much as I agree with the monologue at the end of this video. I need to book another Japan trip ASAP!

no matter how many times i go to Tokyo, it never gets old. thanks for the awesome video! super xcited!

I went to Japan last year and everything about this video was on point. Tokyo is amazing. Kyoto and Osaka are incredible too. It is true after visiting Japan i find myself comparing it to every place i go to now.

It's crazy seeing the video before and after going to Japan! Very informative, I'm a huge fan of your videos Alex. The robot restaurant is probably the craziest/weirdest show I have ever seen...walked out of there just extremely confused to what I had just seen... Keep up the awesome vids :)

Just got back from Tokyo yesterday. Before I left I watched this video religiously and I have to say it was spot on. Love this channel so much.

This is a great video Attache. I am going here next month and I literally cannot wait. Great guide. Thanks

I went to Japan last week, and I watched this video beforehand. I just wanted to say thank you very much as it helped me and my friends a lot (especially the Suica card). I've just rewatched it again now and can now recognise some of the places you visited ;) I didn't take your advice about learning some Japanese phrases, but turns out you were right, would have helped a lot if I had known a few basics (we stayed in local area and almost nobody knew English so it was very hard communicating). Anyway I really like your videos, very informative and entertaining at the same time.

Going there in a month. I'm so excited and nervous..

one of the best videos about Tokyo I`ve ever seen. well done!

Definitely the best and most concise guide video to Tokyo I've seen - this is the link I'm sending to friends who are interested in visiting from now on (personally, I'm planning my eighth trip in a couple of months). Top tip - use that Suica or Passmo card to pay at vending machines, convenience stores and a lot of restaurants. As a foreigner, you'll usually be too flustered working out the right money otherwise, so you end up paying with bills and getting pockets full of loose change. Paying by stored value card means no fuss and no change.

I remember watching this last year and then finally decided to book a flight to Tokyo. It was my dream to see Tokyo since I was a child... It's finally happening next month! Gosh! I can't wait.. Thanks Attache for inspiring me to Travel more.

Hi Alex, we would like to thank you for those valuables tips. It helped us a lot during our trip in Tokyo. We enjoyed it like there is no tomorrow. New York was our favorite city, but now, like you said, we compare Tokyo to NY and you were right! Tokyo is THE city. :) (We are from Montreal). Thanks again for everything. P.S. We did enjoyed a beer in the streets at 3 am and it was a blast!

Just got back from Tokyo this morning after a week, this was an awesome quick trip summary vid, cheers!

2 thoughts: 1. Tokyo's metro system is complicated at first, but once you figured it out, you'll appreciate its efficiency and be impressed by its sheer size. Note that foreigners and non Tokyo residents get special discounts. I got a 3 day unlimited use pass (not applicable for the private trains) at Haneda airport. 2. You have to go out of your way to find a bad meal in Tokyo. Note that it's quality over quantity there. Their portion size is a glorified appetizer size compared to us in Canada at best.

cool, going to Tokyo this month very helpful video :)

wow,this is very helpful,glad you made this video

At 14:55, I couldn't agree more. Wife and I travelled to Tokyo in May and that experience was most definitely a line in the sand for me. Great video, keep up the awesome work!

It's true, a traveler's life is defined by before and after Tokyo. The first time I went was on business. Needless to say, I was completely blown away. I now live in NYC, another great city, but I still frequently long for another trip to Tokyo. With that said, you guys need to check out Seoul. Seoul is my favorite city in the world.

Love your videos. They are definitely my goto for travel advice.

really interesting! Love your work!

I'm off to Tokyo next month and have been binge watching a lot of travel guides on youtube... this one is by FAR the best - funny but super informative, and really well put together. Good work! +1 subscriber.

One of the most insightful and informative video I've ever seen on my own country! I learned a lot!!! Awesome job Alex!!

I've been to Tokyo. It's the most amazing city i've ever been to.

Awesome video as usual. Just went to Tokyo in September, and absolutely loved it. Just wanted to add that you should've mentioned Mount Hakone, which is a couple of hours by train outside Tokyo. Great spot to see mt. fuji, and the roads/scenery are phenomenal

Mate , what can I say , your narration and how u do it videos is one of the best I've ever seen , no ego funny n great info , I travel a lot and like to watch these videos, really glad I subscribe, funny ,cheers mate , thankyou

Such a lovely travel guide! Beautiful shots and helpful tips! I adore your laugh 😍

oh man, I love Tokyo I want to go again soon.

Going over the summer! Great video :)

Love your videos! You give out a lot of great info, really appreciate it!

We always stay near Ueno station. The airport train is near and there are shinkansen that goes to Hitachi Seaside Park. Also, it's near the restaurants (Ichiran ramen!), Akihabara, and other tourist attractions. We use SUICA card in Tokyo. Another beautiful and insightful video!

japan means super clean！！

Going there in less then a month, I'm so exited... thanks for a great vid!

This was great! I live in Japan and can also say it's my favorite place in the world so far. This has inspired me to explore more. Keep making thee awesome vids and you've got a new subscriber

Great video, I'm going to Tokyo next year and I definitely needed a video like this.

I'm going to Tokyo for a school study trip!!

Thank you! I really enjoy your videos, Very helpful ;)

Thank you for this video. It put me at ease about going to Tokyo in a few years but now I think it will be alright. Also it was nice to see John at the end of the video!

That is some very good videography. Who ever shot this really knows his $hiT.

Great video! Fantastic city! AMAZING country! Congratulations! I've been in Tokyo 11times....Very Polite People, Very clean, Very Safe! Is a trip to the Future!

Brilliant! going back to Tokyo, this time for our honeymoon. This was a great refresher, thanks Attache!

Amazing live stream Drew !!! Especially the last part. Hope you had a good time at that last bar. Hmmmm ..... Keep putting those vids out. I will watch them all. Take care Drew. Be safe always.

Aww he's crying at the end lol.

You're like a mix of Marshall and Barney from How I Met Your Mother.

As an aspiring traveller and food lover, I just wanted to say how great this video is. Keep up your fantastic work.

Fantastic video guys. My first one of yours I’ve seen but hugely useful. My flight leaves for narita tomorrow morning at 6am!

Effing LOVE your vids.

I'm leaving to Tokyo in 3 days, can't wait

Going in few months. so happy to see good reviews and comments from everyone!!!! EXCITED!

Thanks for a very useful vlog. We are thinking of going, and are in the research stage. Your video has inspired us to go to Tokyo as soon as possible

I'm going to Tokyo next month. I'm just afraid of losing myself xD

when it comes to yen, all you have to do is put a decimal in 2 times to see its western value. for instants a loaf of bread would be around 200 yen so you put it like 2.00. so thats like 2 bucks for a loaf of bread. a pair of jeans at 5000 yen would be 50.00 bucks. 30000 yen would be like having 300.00 bucks etc.

I've been to Tokyo many, many time and for the first time someone has describe perfectly how I feel about it, line in the sand. You go to Tokyo one person and come home a different person, everyone I've know who have come to Tokyo never wants to leave. 33 more sleeps and I'll be back again, it feels like home to me.

I went to Tokyo about a month ago and I must say I learned a lot from this video. Thank you Attaché!

0:34 - 0:59 is pure, unadulterated truth. No amount of research, preparation, or preconceived notion on Japan can prepare you for the attack on the senses that is Tokyo.

You had me at no tipping

Going to Tokyo in October and this video has been such a massive help, also i think I've watched it 9 times

One of the best guide to Tokyo Ive seen. Congrats guys!

Great video and I'd like to leave some Tokyo breakfast tips If you're okay with sweet breakfast just stop at a conbini in the evening to buy sweets ranging from cookies to single portions of various pastries, simple fruit like apples or bananas (they're expensive though), juice (orange, tropical and apple juices are the most common), dairy products like milk (which comes in flavoured variations like choco milk or strawberry milk and similar) or yogurt (most brands produce REALLY REALLY low fat yogurt that leaves you starving too soon to be a viable solution) and various coffee-related products. There are also several bakery store that open at a reasonable time, but it really depends on where you are in the city. If you're a savoury person than your options are more "adventurous" if you're not keen on japanese language, because apart from cup noodles (seriously, should I even begin talking about why is not advisable to eat cup noodles for a week or two, every single morning?) the best choice in conbinis is the fresh cooked food near the cashier, which goes from various kind of fried breaded meatballs or cutlets to soup and noodles. In addition bigger shops have microwave meals but you must be sure that either the conbini or your hotel have microwave ovens before buying one.Finally most (if not all) hotels have kettles coupled with tea and coffee bags and a few cups. Like I said before, there are some non-conbini solutions, like cafés serving toasts but again it depends on where you have your hotel.Big station can ease the problem but as always better check opening times of restaurant and shops.If you're REALLY desperate you can try international and local fast food restaurants if your hotel's breakfast is too expensive, but I consider that en emergency solution.

Don't you find it Funny that after Monday(M) and Tuesday(T), the rest of the week says WTF?

I've been to Tokyo twice and I have to say this video was extremely well produced and filmed! Lots of very useful information even if you've been to Tokyo before. Subscribed!

of all the videos about travelling to Tokyo. This is the most informative. I wish I seen this video before my first trip.

Having problem with finding breakfast in the morning? Go to 7-11 or any convenience store, you will not disappoint.

we are Japanese people !!!

Excellent video guide of Tokyo. The whole production just works for me. Thank you.

I absolutely loved your Tokyo video! I'm going there in August and I just can't wait! Many thanks Alex!

where is the Kobe Beef restaurant at 10:20?

you must download hyperdia if you dont want confuse with the railways system

Oh my goodness! I soooo agree! I visited there in 2014 and I went as a lone female traveler! Just to go, no other reason! Beyond clean! The people are beyond kind and helpful! I took trains, buses and subways all over the place! Next time I want to do a tour. Omg! I want to return! And yes, Tokyo sets the bar higher than ANY place in the world! The country and the wonderful, wonderful people! Thanks for this video!

Fantastic n very helpful video. Going to Tokyo this December and have got great tips from Attaché.
