A DAY IN TOKYO | JAPAN 🇯🇵 WHAT TO EXPECT

A DAY IN TOKYO | JAPAN 🇯🇵 WHAT TO EXPECT

[Music] good morning everyone once again here from 
Tokyo in Japan today we’re going to be exploring  
some new places that we haven’t visited before and 
we’re starting off in sumida the area that we’re  
staying in and right now we walking to Asuza which 
is supposed to have some pretty cool places and  
we’re still with my parents and Carol obviously 
yeah it’s so cold today and it was pretty funny  
this morning cuz our alarm clock was earthquake 
Carol just started running yeah I freaked out uh I  
was sleeping so I wasn’t thinking uh like properly 
so I just started running when I felt everything  
was shaking and I just ran to get my best hour 
passport in case we need we would have to go out  
but luckily it wasn’t that bad I think it was 5 
six or something like that but it was a quick one  
so not not bad at all but apparently it’s like 
super common in Japan so when we looked out of  
the window during the earthquake like the workers 
on the roadworks were just working normally they  
didn’t even stop so that’s how I knew it wasn’t 
a serious one at all and up there you can see  
the amazing Tokyo Sky Tree so we were supposed to 
visit there you’re supposed to get some amazing  
views if you go up but um you got to book in 
advance like even for many days right now during  
the cherry blossom season you can’t get tickets 
so all sold out so we won’t be able to do it on  
this trip that was the initial plan to begin this 
video that would started up there must be [Music]  
amazing so to go to Asuza we got to pass on this 
bridge across the river so this is the sumida  
river I think you get many rivers going through 
Tokyo I always like cities with rivers going  
through them oh look at that as well what the hell 
is that so it turns out that the building with the  
funny golden thing on top is the Asahi Brewery 
a beer that many of you might have tried I’ve  
drank kahi many times in Japanese restaurants in 
other countes I always like cities with rivers mhm  
yeah I think uh many of our favorite cities have 
riversan was it’s a straight but similar and yeah  
some others Bangkok Lisbon OH you can get around 
like this too don’t know what you call that little
[Music] carriage
[Music]
wow you get an even better sideon view from here 
see everything the Sky Tree bizarre golden thing  
and the train crosses there I think we went 
past that in the first video that we filmed  
in Tokyo even here you got people wearing the 
traditional clothing yeah uh I saw many tours  
where foreigners can go and wear the kimonos 
that’s how they call it and do some photo  
section so that’s really cool ah cool one of the 
trees has already blossomed the other ones are  
all kind of dead looking still this one is full 
of the the pink leaves though flowers so this is  
the week where they’re all supposed to Blossom 
from what it says online you can see it better  
from this side with the sun hidden now it’s super 
pink beautiful especially with the blue skies too  
really close Skies must be pretty crazy when 
everything’s blooming here I bet there’s loads  
of people in the traditional clothing there also 
people taking the wedding photos when we saw the  
cherry blossoms in Taiwan a lot of people were 
doing the wedding photo shoots too nice time to do
it
[Music] he
[Music] so we now come to a temple called senoi 
looks absolutely incredible Tokyo is just amazing  
me even more and more than what we explore so 
this is a Buddhist temple in the other video in  
Tokyo we visited a Shinto Temple which was much 
smaller and from what I read this is from 64 45  
making it the oldest Temple in Tokyo probably 
even more beautiful than the Shinto one it’s  
really impressive and we haven’t entered yet 
but it’s just so massive and there’s the a  
big Lantern oh yeah I only just saw that so big 
massive Lantern loving the colors though red and
gold whoever does the kimono rentals must be doing 
good good business so many people not sure what  
this is people cleaning their house busy a’t it 
just saying if we get if we if we lose each other  
we’ll meet back here okay yeah Pro probably 
easier to lose each other some other kind of
ritual so that was the lantern Carol was 
talking about look at the size of that
thing [Music] got [Music] some more Mega
lanterns but Tokyo is definitely one of the 
busiest places that we’ve ever visited I think  
all these people are lining up for the photo the 
iconic photo get a better shot from back here I  
love the multi-tiered pagodas too like we’ve 
seen in many other Asian countries and this  
street is called nakami apparently centuries 
old shopping Street seems to be food food and  
souvenirs we need to get a bite to eat soon 
Japan so my parents just got one of these  
for their home guess you just have to dangle 
it somewhere 400 Yen I’d probably get one of  
these if I had a home I wonder if this is the 
busiest Place we’ve ever been Tokyo I think so  
I don’t remember any being anywhere this crazy 
India yeah maybe but with tourist I think this  
is the busiest yeah I think we should probably 
somewhere more laidback yeah cuz here they have  
many food options like street food but it’s quite 
easy so maybe you’ll try to find somewhere [Music]
quier
[Music] so we left that other street but even this 
street so many food places look at the CU though  
Big C yeah I think we’ll definitely go somewhere 
else instead those uh kimono rentals I think it’s  
a rental I don’t know 1,100 yeah I think that’s a 
rental Shrine what’s this place Shrine oh Shrine  
yeah I’m guessing this is a Shinto Shrine not 
a Buddhist one I don’t know much about Shinto  
so not sure who that is Chingo do Chingo do is 
also known as otuki Sama sir raccoon dog I guess  
that’s it sir raccoon dog and he famous for being 
the deity of protection against fire and theft as  
well as flourishing businesses so some of you 
may know that the swastika is actually like a  
historic sacred symbol not supposed to be 
seen as a bad thing but obviously because  
of the Nazis it’s now kind of negative but you 
will see it in many Buddhist temples places like
that [Music] so I think we’re going to go 
for this place here judging by the pictures  
it has a bit of everything for everyone 
got fish for Carol if she wants [Music]
that okay thank
you
complimentary so besides the team he 
also brought this he said we have to  
flip it ourselves I don’t know if that’s 
the fre what’s on there anyway it’s like  
fish what are these things don’t know 
some little fish burger mini burger M  
probably have to wait a little bit to get a 
bit more color that I think is the rice cake
cheese you’ll like it then so this is some kind 
of meat I think it has onions in there really  
tasty though that’s my favorite got the [Music] 
sardines so the food cost 7,600 overall there’s  
still more coming from my parents so I got this 
oudon which is the noodles chunky noodles and  
Sashi me tuna lots of pieces car went for the fish 
fried fish it’s a huge fish and it also comes with  
rice and miso soup which I love I’m not sure 
what this is that we both got I had a little  
taste it seems sweet some kind of dessert maybe 
wonder if it’s match up and then what is that  
fried squid fried squid M tasty yeah very good 
very good yeah we have we also had edamami and  
I think we did have to pay for that thing at the 
beginning that’s a chicken good price though for  
four people 7,600 so this is what I normally get 
when I eat a Japanese restaurants abroad Sashi me  
also got this as well that I think is meat no idea 
what it is yeah definitely meat crispy meat tasty
[Music]
[Music] to
so we’re now going to visit The Gardens 
of the Imperial Palace which I think is  
over there I’m guessing that this is 
the moat that goes around the palace  
grounds we stopped here cuz we saw this cool 
Samurai statue I think it’s a samurai anyway  
yeah that’s definitely a samurai sword not 
sure who it is though this time they don’t  
have the English translation so we got off of 
at the wrong exit at the station within the  
station there was signs saying oton gate and I 
think that’s the main entrance to the Imperial  
Palace grounds looks like a business district 
around here these buildings don’t really look
residential buildings are already looking pretty 
cool from the main gate liking what I’m seeing  
don’t know if this one’s for free forgot to 
mention that the other Temple before was for  
free so one thing to keep in mind is that you 
can only visit the gardens you can’t go inside  
the actual Palace so I only found that out 
recently I thought you could go inside the  
palace and that’s because the royal family still 
live there so obviously they don’t want a bunch  
of tourists in their home so it says that this 
is one of three guard houses that survive from  
the tku gawa Shogun at 1603 1867 so even if 
you can’t visit the main Palace still see  
some cool buildings either way the walls are 
really impressive though they actually remind  
me of the ones that we saw in Peru the inco 
walls like identical yeah inos scho yeah so  
we’re in the grounds of the Edo Castle which 
was originally built in 1457 during the time  
when Tokyo was called Edo it got renamed to 
Tokyo around 1868 when the emperor decided  
to move here from the farmer capital of Kyoto 
which we plan to visit on this [Music] trip
here we have more evidence that the Incas were 
here in Japan got a Inca Empire pyramid man it  
is kind of funny how identical it looks so 
there’s not much left to see inside now just  
this hangout area with the benches got some 
pretty nice views though of the modern city in  
it still can see some of the old stairs at least 
says that the majority of it was destroyed by a  
great fire in 16 57 there is a tower here though 
that still looks pretty cool the forimi yagura  
Tet so now this Tower is like the symbol since 
the other main tower was completely destroyed  
the one that I said look like a incar ruin this 
one still looks in great condition [Music] sh
so I’ve just realized that the majority of 
the cool pictures that you see online when  
you search the Imperial Palace are actually from 
outside the grounds this is like the main picture  
that you always see of the beautiful stone 
bridge and this is actually the Main Gate  
entrance so I think this is the one that 
the emperor uses right now when he leaves  
and arrives at the palace not sure if that is 
the palace there or if that’s another [Music]
Tower so it is the next day and we come to a 
place called ueno cuz there’s a park here and  
we’ve heard that the cherry blossoms have 
already started here and it’s around 4:30  
gets dark in about an hour so I hadn’t 
heard about this place oeno but on the  
bus ride coming in it seemed very popular 
seemed to be loads of cool little Alleyways  
very busy so far the trees are still looking 
very dead we did check online too and we saw  
many pictures recent pictures of the cherry 
blossoms I think it’s just like like one or  
two trees like like that one over there but 
not all the entire park we can also see some  
sort of event like there’s like tents so I 
think we’ll go there too yeah I’m definitely  
like in the vibe of weno though looks like 
another nice place that you could stay [Music]
beautiful [Music]
yeah there’s definitely an event 
going on I don’t know what it is
though it looks like one of those dog oh it’s a
monkey it’s actually a lot more Western 
tourist here that’s one thing I haven’t  
mentioned so far the placees have been really 
busy but mainly busy with locals still lots  
of foreigners obviously but definitely 
just way way more Japanese a good place  
for street food yeah smells really good 
yeah I think we’ll be eating later on
though Spice Girls girl Jaan oh 
look at that is that a banana I  
think it’s like a a banana covered 
in chocolate I don’t know sprinkled
yeah cool we got some sort of Temple at 
the end also Temple is always a bonus in
Asia me you want to go in the 
temple yeah that’s cool might as
well you going to buy something 
maybe just looking what they are  
it’s a nice one too yeah how much is 
the bracelet 1,000 yen we were lucky  
cuz the moment we came in the guy closed 
the doors the temple is closing [Music]
now
[Music]
oh [Music]
[Music]
[Music] w [Music]
[Music] so that’s going to be it here from 
Tokyo another amazing day exploring the city  
there’s just so much to see and do in this 
capital and in the next video we’re planning  
on showing the nightlife here Tokyo is supposed 
to look really cool at night so we’re hoping to  
go to one of the places that’s all liten up and 
has the nice little bars so that’s the plan and  
then after that we’ll move on and explore 
other places towns and cities in Japan so
