Live Saturday Tokyo Walk – Ueno to Yanaka
I wonder if we’re live let me know if we are alive I hope that we are alive hope that we are alive I think we are George says let’s go oh that’s probably a sign that we’re live so uh welcome I asked I just did a patreon only stream before this one a brief little one um and I let’s see those of you who join me on the patreon stream please don’t answer let’s ask the rest see if anyone can figure it out it’s a pretty easy recognizable spot I think let’s see hey h scar hey Ario hey K hey George inja inani let’s see if you guys know where I am maybe you do maybe you don’t no one no one has given me the spot yet or oh that’s weird that you didn’t get any patreon alert Brad I posted it a few few hours 3 four five it was a pretty unusually early heads up actually Golden Gate Park no no seems like no one knows okay we’re in eneno this is eneno park with the famous Pond full of lotuses and ah there we go c h you knew it yes H yes bakap upper field eneno the literal translation of those Kani and today I plan to walk from here to the yanaka neighborhood it’s very hot it’s not very windy um 28° now and I just completed a almost three-hour long photo session which was quite challenging and uh exhausting so I’m a little bit tired but uh hopefully I’ll feel energized soon so yeah let’s head uh towards uh yanaka which is that way and I just made a big announcement to my patreon supporters about some big lifechanging uh big event in my life that will happen pretty soon at the end of this month I think I will keep it secret until the next live stream right so that my Patron get to to enjoy the the exclusive exclusive I can’t speak exclusivity a little bit longer rather than spoiling it to everybody 10 minutes after my patrons but yeah it’s a it’s a nice busy Saturday here in Tokyo some of the streets in the city center were like uncomfortably busy we did the shoot in Asaka and go to any too busy areas now on this live stream instead I prefer something a little bit more peaceful and quiet and thank you y alang thank you so much cold drink fund thank you thank you thank you can really feel how the summer is about to take over and turn Tokyo into this hot and humid mess it’s today it’s still like bearable it’s not that humid um so it’s not it’s not too bad but you can definitely feel that it’s just a matter of time te will be back yeah haven’t played DDR in a long time very long time actually but maybe I should give ddrt uh make a return of DDR on my channel maybe play around with Yuka see if she has L of technical glitches today like usually around here I don’t have any bad signal but my streaming app keeps telling me that signal is week again and again I hope it’s not causing too much inconvenience to you guys froze that’s not good oh oh there’s a bit of wind that’s actually quite nice we are this is Park heading up towards yanaka one or two minute freeze really that long wow that’s not good I’ve actually had lunch so I I think I will do a beer break today at some point it’s been a while since I did a beer break on one one walks he’s trying to live stream with flip phone you mean this one right no no live stream I mean I think this this should be able to live stream as good as any other Android phone so should be possible but U probably image quality won’t be as good as with the with the iPhone yes tan Sorry probably mispronounced your name but yes this is indeed eneno park with its rental boats and everything else find the Swan Boats yes yes iconic Swan Boats I was too curious and had to go back and watch the patreon stream oh yes Brad you should do that you should do that we’ll see maybe I’ll tell you even at the end towards the end of this stream we’ll see it’s some big news that I’m kind of I want to share it with you but yeah at the same time I also do want to make my patreons feel a little bit special cuz they are thank you br thank you a lot of people here have very nice views that’s beautiful from the higher floors of these buildings not just the pond but you can also see like the the rest of Veno park with the shrine and all the museums quite interesting first night and morning in Reno Park sounds interesting did you miss the last train home or what happened there are life changing good news and not life changing bad yeah yeah yeah good good news I I think they’re good but uh some of you might disagree thank you Yenni beer o clock thank you thank you oh I keep getting this like low that signal is bad like I very rarely have technical issues on my walk but today it feels like there is some some curse going on or something so I can’t keep getting this low signal warning also a lot of the messages in the chat are just repeated I don’t know if I think that’s just on my end but still quite quite annoying I wonder if it can be no it’s not that hot if it’s overheating issues I’ll try to I’ll try to stay in the shade Ian it gets way hotter than this so this shouldn’t be a problem you see Tiny stutters in the Stream yeah thank you Dragon guard yeah hello Luke I’m sorry I’m still I still don’t have any pink shorts to show you sorry about that okay I’ll take this this little back street so I can stay in the shade there’s something going on with YouTube I see yeah could be YouTube having having some hiccups or we can just blame it on Yari of course of course we can always blame anything on Yari that’s that’s always a legit it’s always okay to blame him oops pink short drought of 2024 yeah I’m sorry I’m ashamed on behalf of my channel oh I didn’t notice onai Association I read somewhere quite recently that there’s apparently a wave of theft plaguing the Bonsai community that you got a nice uh reflection reveal of me as well um yeah a lot of bonsai trees are being stolen and the theory is that it’s some sort of international uh group and they steal them and take them abroad sounds kind of far-fetched but at the same time bonai are very valuable and takes takes many many years to to grow them nicely so Master Test a live stream with only PDT fp1 which can stream 4K 4 to 5 hours wow that sounds sounds pretty cool I don’t know that camera is it big small it’s probably not something for me but these sounds like a pretty good technical achievement if it worked well station is this oh I’m already at NZ station huh that’s a surprise I didn’t know that NE station was this close to um uh Reno Park actually ah it’s an atom for a fullframe camera I see I see okay nothing for me then I like small and simple not big and bulky ah more technical issues damn it what’s going on what is this curse but yeah since I’m here at nezu I think I will head up to nezu Shrine that’s always a nice place to visit and I think it’s been a while since my last live stream passing there where are you walking to so yeah Veno to uh yanaka was the plan but now we’ll do a little detour and also pass uh Neza shrine which is just a few blocks up this way one of my favorite shrines in Tokyo actually [Music] [Music] 550 m Sao Ario oh isn’t that the place I went with lemi you got a little tour of the of that thean I think so it’s a few blocks up this way isn’t it speech yep ah it was that place yeah did you enjoy staying there kind of interesting that that there are like traditional Deans like that even in the middle of Tokyo let see I think next street we can turn left that should be on track for the for the shrine damn it’s been a while I Last Watched te back in 2021 wow yeah that was the last visit to my channel it’s been a while indeed someone’s getting faster internet maybe yeah let’s go up here I think this should take us on track for n Nazar Shrine I really love these local streets here this area this part of Tokyo is very cozy so I’ll big line for I’m donut no haven’t tried I would never stand in a long line for a donut I’m not a big donut lover or anything uh so now no never tried it never heard of them okay I just figured out why we had the technical issues I had internet sharing switched on on this antique well it’s not antique but on this phone that was actually sharing my other SIM card to my iPhone and uh my other SIM card is not as reliable as ran for live streaming there we go now it should be now it should be pretty stable and solid and kind of quality you can expect from me yeah okay blame it on me don’t blame it on on Yari it was my fault this time not yar’s fault anyway here’s the entrance to NE Shrine as a ginger they have this hanga I think it’s hanga Festival but that was like a month ago when all these were in bloom what I like about this Shrine is that it’s it’s very beautiful the whole area and it’s also like never except from when they’re doing that flower festival it’s usually not very crowded which is nice for spee spee spe [Music] so of course this Shrine is famous and popular for all these red gates which I think this is the longest kind of tunnel of Tor gates in Tokyo correct me if I’m wrong there’s a few other places but I believe this is the the biggest longest it’s also very narrow and difficult to has some problems when you bump into people going the opposite direction I’m going to try to take photo here with my with the crap camera on my on my second phone it’s quite nice right yes Olive it’s definitely been a while since I came here for a live stream it’s not my first visit here but yeah I I came here with with Yuka when we did a collaboration stream we came here I think that was even the flower festival was going on it’s the name of the shrine it’s nezu Ginger nezu shrine Yuka who uh Yuka with me Japan Yuka we did a collaboration stream must have been a year and a half ago then and we came here yeah we also walked around n area and I don’t remember all the places we went to anyway let’s leave the shrine and start heading towards yanaka this is beautiful it’s interesting that this tree looks like it’s Autumn it’s stuck in autumn [Music] [Music] nedu or Neu nezu definitely I’m in Camp have burn Neu looks very wrong to me it’s not compatible with how us westerners read the alphabet anyway way let’s head down to yanaka let’s see if we can do a little beer break somewhere and uh I’ll probably leave it at that it’s a bit too hot to do a long midday walk and especially after my tough almost 3our long photo session that I had just before this live stream [Music] mystery coffee enjoy fragrant freshly ground coffee and also enjoy my reflection reveal in Japanese the pronunciation of d and Zed are the same I beg to differ uh you say Dame you don’t say zame right so there’s a clear difference and also Zed would be a different hiragana than D the show hello Justin hello Tyra L and R yes those are kind of more less interchangeable in Japanese but not D and Z you say zarus SOA you don’t say Dar SOA sure those are two distinctively different characters in the Japanese [Music] alphs coffee filtered with a sock yeah maybe maybe filtered with someone’s Old Sock let’s head into the residential area down this way and uh we’ll see I think we should be on the right track for the yanaka yanaka Ginza which will probably very be very crowded today cool address sh I feel like every time I come here there’s some new shops popping up on these Side Street Coffee boundary a workshop to buy books and for coffee wow that sounds like two good things neatly combined into one unfortunately not that much to show apparently I need a way better wi-fi router next time I go to Japan yeah it’s all always a bit challenging to find a good connection it really depends on your needs but I’m definitely in Camp uh Camp Ron my opinion they’re the best network but they’re not the fastest for downloads though but they’re the most stable for uploads and that’s what I care about I really like this little street corner here did I do a face reveal that’s a little bonus for you I’m sure I must look so tired and tomorrow I’m leaving Tokyo for the last of my hotel shoot so we’ll see if I’ll be able to combine it with some stream somewhere I hope so I’m not sure this is the famous street heimi snake street because it’s like winding like this if you look on a map it you can really see how that it kind of looks like a snake mostly residential buildings here but as you saw just now there’s also a handful of shops scattered around this area areaa kind of like this area I’m not it feels like it would be a really good place to live only downside maybe is that besides Eno Park there’s not that much Greenery around it’s a very dense part of Tokyo this but uh yeah R Park kind of makes up for that I guess have you had coffee yet today yeah I have I have I have I had my morning coffee and then I had another cup as well so I don’t think I don’t feel like I want to have more coffee actually this street Ed to be a mandering stream I see it’s one of those must have been cozy more in the mood for a beer yeah I’m definitely in the mood for a really really cold beer that’s that’s going to be that’s my purpose in life right now to find a really really cold beer to cool down with for spe speech spee speech a we AK we are on our way to yanaka Ginza will be there very soon I think I did a coffee break here once for remember if that coffee was any good I don’t remember [Music] s almost at janaka gin now thank you Brad motivation and super car fun thank you thank you thank you so much yeah I need both I’m pretty tired as you can probably hear it doesn’t get easier because I’m actually carrying my my big camera in this backpack and it’s like super hopped and sticky my back is all wet it’s not ideal for a stream so the motivation is certainly helpful we’ll see if it’s too crowded at janaka Ginza I’m probably not going to do a beer stop there but we we shall soon see by the way today one of the top news was that there was a accident today a Japanese taxi driver who ran into one of those Street go-karts I think he did it because he was very annoyed with them fortunately no serious uh injury but yeah I keep saying that those those carts are just feels to me like such an accident just waiting to happen now it it happened it’s not the first time but it’s not too crowded thinking maybe a beer in a place like this would be nice can do that just take the seat perfect we need to take out some coins as well so that I can let’s be a break [Music] spee I got some [Music] let’s see what else are you guys saying it’s the bag yeah well I don’t want to ditch it with a with like uh 880,000 worth of camera equipment $80,000 us worth of camera equipment that would be unfortunate sapuro because I went to sapuro the other week and it was glorious speech yeah oh no sorry there is 80k no that’s not right 8K 8K more like 8K so shouldn’t over exaggerate the the value of my camera equipment more like 800,000 any enough enough to make me careful okay good s good luck for [Music] [Music] finish my B let’s continue I love all this small local shops around here and obviously I’m not the only one that’s kind of what this area I famous for there better be room for one more [Music] beer I that would be nice but then I would probably be hang over tomorrow because I’m so weak when it comes to alcohol these days so I better not that sounds not good yeah I’m feeling quiet I got more tired from that there I think I’ll head up to the train station over here and wrap things up it’s a little bit a midday walk in this weather is not great I need to get my train tickets for tomorrow tomorrow I’m taking Shin Consin again to to May which is I think the stop before Koto it’s one of those stops where not the fastest shansen trains even bother stopping but that’s where I’m going and then from there I changed to a local train to somewhere near Lake Bawa bio where this hotel is where I will do the shoot on Monday Tuesday Sunny yes very sunny indeed Beau let’s enjoy the view here again zoom in a little bit oh good to see this or thisan still around there’s some pretty interesting characters around here these guys used to be very good at this like spinning tops I don’t know what it’s called now it seems like they’re doing something else sounds like a fun work trip yeah the thing with those work trips is that it’s only work have very little spare time and those hotels that I shoot are they’re usually quite disconnected from anything else it’s like Resort Hotels so you have a lot of facilities in the hotel itself but not that much within walking distance outside of it so I think tomorrow’s hotel might actually be a little bit different so if everything goes well who knows maybe I will be able to do a little evening walk around Lake bwa tomorrow night or something that would be nice but don’t count too much on it wow that’s an interesting face coverage never seen that before wrapping up at NE police station that’s right yeah yeah yeah I am I am drank the beer in less than 5 minutes I don’t think the beer has kicked in in yet actually usually takes a little bit longer I drank it pretty fast though yes but it was nice it cool me down into an artist so I actually think I want to cross here okay anyway yeah it’s been about an hour since I started at Veno Park so decent little walk after all um but uh I’ll probably yeah I think if I do an evening walk I could have walked much longer now it’s just too hot anyway here’s ni station here’s where I will wave goodbye to you thank you so much for watching and uh I hope to see you all soon again yeah that’s it for now thank you so much bye-bye Che
