Perfect. I'm off to Japan this weekend for 10 days visiting Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I've just watched your videos covering these areas which are very insightful and very helpful!
Mark Denniss have a great trip Mark! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask them here or on the questions forum on our website. The community there is very prompt and helpful. All the best!
I was in Japan last year for 10 days and I did everything on this list and I'm so glad I did. Japan is an amazing country and 10 days is definatly not enough time. I will definatly be visiting again.
Really informative video! Looking forward to more videos to come. Planning a trip to Japan soon and the website along with the videos have been invaluable.
The most complete and quick review of Tokyo I ever seen in RU-vid. I have 4 days left in Tokyo and this Video definitely helps me a lot. Thanks guys. My best wishes from Mexico
Oh my goodness 😃🤗 I just discovered this channel today & I love it 💞 It was always my dream to visit Japan, it's a beautiful & incredible country. This channel is so informative, thank you for the English voiceover too 👍 🇬🇧👋☺
i took a trip to Japan in march for 2 weeks, and I felt like it was so little time haha. Someone who likes the culture, the history, and the food I felt like I didn't even scratch the surface. I hope to be back soon.
Been to Tokyo for like 10 days recently with a friend and have been able to visit most of these places on the list and much more, I think we did pretty good job.
I was only able to spend about a day and a half in Japan (YEARS ago when I was in the air force), and had to leave early due to a family emergency. I remember thinking how nice most people were that I met. From the girls in the kimono shop (we didn't understand each other's language, but they helped me pick out the kimono and sash), to the yakisoba restaurant, to the customer service at the airport....everyone was so nice. Watching this video, and your others as well, has rekindled my desire to take my wife to Japan and see some of the things I saw, and some others that I didn't get a chance to see. I want to show my her the beauty of Japan first hand. Excellent videos....very informative!
I love going to japan❤ i had been twice and your website help me a very very lot . Its very information making ❤❤❤its easy for our trip thank u very much i love japan❤
I'm very glad and like people here who say wanna come to Japan or love Japan! As a Japanese, I'm very happy to see your comments. I definitely show my hospitality to you all if you come to Japan!!
Oh thanks. I was wondering where to go and what to do in Shinjuku, since I'll be staying there with my parents this August. And thanks for recommending Meiji Shrine.
Y'all should try the ikebukero fire station it's a free course that you go to at a fire station and they show u how the earthquake felt with a simulation also escaping a fire induced place. It's a learning experience but really fun too. The earthquake felt strong 👍🏻.
Love your videos! Heading to Japan in May and can’t wait! Where did you get the shot at 7:37? I’d love to get a shot similar with the Tokyo tower like that! Thanks!
Two comments: (1) You should have mentioned that Sensoji was bombed during World II and was completely rebuilt to original specifications. (2) When you say that in 1868 when the Imperial capital was moved from Kyoto to Edo and Edo was renamed Tokyo, you should say what Tokyo means, i.e. "East Capital." Other than that, the video is REALLY GOOD.
Thank you for this video that is ideal for a first visit of Tokyo ! 😃🙏🏻 Indeed, this famous city is so vast that one could be really lost what to visit there. 😅 Anyway, everytime I watch a video about Tokyo, I instantly feel very happy. ☺ I just love this city so much ! 💙 This amazing city is of course the biggest metropolis on Earth, but for me it's also the most complete city for everybody. 😀 Indeed, as you excellently show, Tokyo offers an enormous variety of attractions so that everybody find its paradise there. 🗼🏮🎮😄 I have always dreamed of visiting Tokyo and your video increases even more my desire of going there ! 🤗🗼🌃
You guys should do another one of these. RU-vid's algorithm would love it. :P Top 5 Yokohama? Top 5 Hokkaido? Anyways awesome to see Andrew making videos! :D
Very enjoyable content, I'm looking forward for more! A small heads up: The link in the description is not clickable. You can change that by adding "".
OH BUT definitely go to Golden Gai for those who have never been. It’s sooo dope ! I went with my close friend n some Japanese girl we met and we got reallyyyy drunk there lol. We were on our 2nd bar n had 3 more to go to and I was already lit haha. Soo much fun . There’s this one specific bar that I recommend there , I forgot the name but there’s a guy who looks like a Japanese Wayne’sWorld inside and has a sci-fi/ horror themed bar inside . It’s sick ! He’s cool as hell too
I am a little bit disappointed to not see the Tsukiji Fish Market in the list even though you mention nigiri sushi. For me it is the number 1 attraction Tokyo has to offer, with an unbelievable activity per square meter. Knowing that it will move to Toyosu sooner or later (larger, more hygienic, more organised but likely also a lot less charming), I recommend everyone who's coming to Tokyo to go to the inner market in the morning, before having sushi lunch in one of the many sushi restaurants, which doesn't have to be expensive (please stay away from chain stores). Regarding the observation decks, the World Trade Center close to Hamamatsuchou station and Kyu Shiba Rikyu garden offers a far better view than the Metropolitan Government Building. It is a 360° view, and there are no tourist shops, in contrast to the Government Building. You can even lounge in the sofas while watching the view. Height is approximately the same, they're both at the 40th/45th floor if I remember correctly. Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Tower, the Rainbow Bridge,... are better visible from here. It is not free, but 620 yen is definitely worth it and still cheaper than Skytree (which has the best view without a doubt, even though you don't see... Skytree), Tokyo Tower,... Another recommended observation deck is the Bunkyo Civic Center (26th floor, free, 270°) which offers a great view towards the west and the sunset behind Shinjuku and Mount Fuji especially during clear winter months. That being said, nice informative video, I also liked the one on Hakone.
Maxim Geeroms they probably didn’t because the market is closing this year supposedly and it wouldn’t help for future viewers going to japan for the 1st time
i'm planing a long trip to japan. I finished my kyoto itinerary at 2 months in japan, i'm going north and finishing up in tokyo, how much time should I dedicate to tokyo without day trips? I was thinking something like a week. too bad you can be in japan for only 3 months without a visa
Thanks a lot for the video! Since it has been uploaded 5 years ago, i would like to know if the Tokyo Metro Goverment Office Building still allows to go to the 45th floor to watch the scenery for free.
I went to both Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and Tokyo Skytree to get a view of Tokyo skyline. I must said that a visit to Tokyo Skytree is worthy. The view from the Skytree is spectacular. Admission fee to Tembo Deck is 2100 yen. You can forget about going to the Tembo Gallery, which cost another 1000 yen.
There many unique events around this time as well as some holiday closures that might be of interest to you. Here are the specifics: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2276.html
The Edo Tokyo Museum is great, but it's in Ryogoku, the sumo wrestling area, and the video does not mention that area at all, likely because it's a little bit out of the Yamanote Line, which the video is using as a guideline for traveling around Tokyo and connecting neighborhoods. Also not mentioned are two trendy neighborhoods: Shimokitazawa and Nakameguro. These too are not along the Yamanote line. Surprisingly, UENO is not in the top five, although that is along the Yamanote Line. Ghibli is a pain to get tickets to, so I'm glad it was not mentioned.
Correct! It's from the very top of Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills. Here's more info on observation decks around Tokyo: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3057.html and here's some info about Roppongi HIlls specifically that you might find useful: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3031_hills.html
These areas are fairly close together and connected by the Yamanote Line so it would be doable. Of course, it also depends on the depth you hope to explore and the speed you travel.
Это очень познавательно. Превосходно. Жаль только, что на русский нельзя перевести :( Я бы очень хотела побывать там. Я очень сильно увлечена Японией и их культурой. Каждый день узнаю что нибудь полезное) Огромное спасибо за видео) Узнала много нового))
