after watching hillary vs trump im really considering learning japanese and moving to tokyo for the rest of my life...this video pushed me in the right direction.
Some cities in all over Asia which were cultural centres like Delhi, Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo, Singapore are so similar. Asia is truly an amazing continent to explore. There are lot of similarities between different countries you won't even imagine (like the Indian style temple and gold inside in Tokyo). This is because in history Asia was well connected with trade and was a friendly place.
***** no I could never live there. It's too crowded and I can't read their writing. It's a polite place to vacation with lots to see but I'll always choose to live in the USA. If you go over there, you better have a lot of money
I rarely comment on videos, but yours was very helpful and educational, so I couldn't help myself. Thank you for all the great insight and suggestions.
You posted this video just days before my husband and I left for Tokyo for the World Kendo Championships and I'm seeing the video today for the first time. We saw 80% of the sights you mention. I would definitely love to visit there again, but with our sons next time. They do judo and kendo. This video makes me want to hop onto the very next plane to Tokyo!
jt suits Jr shrines are free Tokyo tower is like 15 usd to go to the top Most places are free except museum entries ($4) and food, but food can be reasonable too
I was in Japan in February 2015. I am currently planning my second trip to Japan, and this video really help me plan my second trip :) Tips to those that are going to visist japan, be sure to buy a stamp book from the first temple / shrine you visit. In this stamp you can get exclusive collect stamps from each temple to add to your book . (stamps painted by monks)
i live about an hour and a half drive away in kashima, and i'll be staying in tokyo through christmas (there are some great christmas markets all around). this video really helped me to plan the weekend. I've been to tokyo many times and only go to the main places with friends. Shin-Okubo street is a great place if you enjoy all things Korean. It has a lot of Korean BBQ places where famous Korean artists eat when they are in Tokyo! :)
I saw a commercial of Airbnb and it got me interested in travelling (or at least watching travel videos lol) this was very helpful thanks I may visit (one day).
great video, very detailed and very well narrated! I agree with going to mori tower, top view of Tokyo tower. I got a good one as well about 21 hidden secrets in Tokyo, some of the places not often visited by tourists. keep up the good work!
The Tsukiji fish market limit mentioned is just to see the tuna auction very early in the morning. Anyone can go into the inner market after 9am; which is well worth the trip. You can see every kind of fish and other crazy sea creatures; more than any aquarium.
I'm glad you included Tokyo Tower right up front. Sky Tree is much bigger and newer, but Tokyo Tower is beautiful in a strange way. Tokyo Tower is a bright "orangey/reddish and white" steel version of the Eiffel Tower (TT is only a few feet taller than its iron Parisian counterpart). Because Sky Tree is not far away, I think Tokyo Tower has a new image to me: It is traditional, and "kawaii", while still remaining impressive in its own right. It really is an inimitable symbol of Tokyo.
I highly recommend to visit Edo Tokyo Museum especially if you visit Ryogoku Sumo stadium since it is just behind the stadium. You can see Edo life style before it has become Tokyo. It was really interesting to a Japan born guy like myself.
This was one of the best vlogs pertaining to visiting Japan I have seen. Your video work, editing and voice over is to be commended. I am hoping you have one on just street foods. Great job! We will be visiting in May and will definitely use this video as reference for the trip.
Well, your 3 P's of Japan to me are extremely on point. I've never been to Japan, but the Japanese people I've met that came to our country are extremely polite and are very respectful. I also noticed they work extremely hard. I honestly never met a person of Japanese culture who I didn't like or admire. It's like the whole race was raised the exact same way to be respectful, hardworking, caring, etc. I wish my country could be the same.
Roppongi... Walking down a street in Roppongi i saw cars for tens of milions of Euros... in 20 minutes! To say that Roppongi is expensive and exclusive is an understatement.
Thank you for the Video! :D I'll be flying to Tokyo in about 5 months and I'll be staying about 2 months. So I really want to have a lot of things to see :D
Amazing, I recognized some of the places I've seen right off the bat during my three years in Yokosuka, during which I traveled to Tokyo on the weekends (Akihabara, the Tokyo Tower, Roppongi, the Tokyo Sky Tree, etc. I'm planning to take my fiancee to Japan after we get married and I believe she'll find this to be quite helpful. I never knew about the Yushukan War Museum until I saw this, but I'll certainly make it a stop on this trip. :)
Red Dragon Diaries, Great video. Thank you. I've subscribed to your channel and added your video to my public playlist for "Things to do in Tokyo, Japan, Asia". My Sights
Thanks so much for this video, me and my special Gs group is trying to decide what trip to go on in 2019 summer and I wanted to go to Japan (since I'm learning Japanese and that's my career I'm pursing 2 years after that) and also it's just a amazing place in general, so thanks for the tip for I can add to my argument
You can reserve a tour of the Imperial Palace grounds for free! But it needs to be done a bit in advance so that they can do background checks and what not. You won't go inside anywhere or to the actual household, but you get a cool tour of the grounds with a lot of background information on the complex.
even though i do not share your interests in warfare, fighting, meat eating or robotics, i still got the sense that it would be an interesting place to visit.
Been to many of those places when I was stationed there 85-88. Unfortunately some you listed weren't there then. Sunshine 60 building Ikebukuro is cool, think it has one of the fastest express elevators in the world. Tokyo and Yokohama were my stomping grounds outside of Yokosuka.
Great video, informative and stimulating - for all my senses! I hope you consider visiting Fukuoka ... a produced video of that visit would be icing on the cake for me. Thank you for sharing your travel adventure to Tokyo and Osaka. Stella
Awesome video! I've been to Japan 3 times now (the last time was in September 2014) and I was pretty surprised how many of the 22 things I had actually already done. Out of the list, I only missed 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, and 22. Not bad I think! Your tempura soba segment literally made my stomach growl as I really miss the authentic stuff. I'm hoping to make it back in a few years; maybe for the 2020 Olympics (even though I know that it will be a zoo!). Thanks for posting!

Your voice is calming. Watching this clip is not only informative and helpful but is also a very pleasant experience.

I just simply don't know why I always end up watching to your videos
this video is much much much better than the "25 things to do in tokyo" video
Why? You like martial arts? Or can't handle the food face? =P
thank you
Tommy Sands whaaat, you don't like watching a dude's O-face every time he eats something?
Auditore I was there. I saw the kamikaze memorial
***** no I could never live there. It's too crowded and I can't read their writing. It's a polite place to vacation with lots to see but I'll always choose to live in the USA. If you go over there, you better have a lot of money
i went twice in the spam of four months between 2015 and 2016. it's awesome

How was your trip the first time you went? Did you enjoy it?
増田高実(Matt)遊城十代 It was awesome. So much things to do and see :)
+Dorixig Travel Glad you enjoyed it! :) I'm going to Hokkaido next year for the winter festivals.
It is indeed a very helpful list for someone like me who has never been to the place. Thank you very much. Totally thumbed up!

Great video and very informative. Thank you.
if you like shrines there's one in Komae named Hikawa Shrine. It's definitely worth a visit!
Thanks that was solid

Thank you for this! I'll be there in May!
I highly recommend to visit Edo Tokyo Museum especially if you visit Ryogoku Sumo stadium since it is just behind the stadium. You can see Edo life style before it has become Tokyo. It was really interesting to a Japan born guy like myself.

+Biz_Markie91 Yes, Japan is amazing in that way. Very consistent and precise
Very nice presentation! There seems to be a lot to do in Tokyo.
Nice videos, amigo!
From the list, I completed 9 our of 22..And I saw Naruto!!! I should watch this video before I went to Japan end of May 2015. Good video!=)
+suikodengel Thank you. 22 is a lot to do. This trip nearly did me in.
Roppongi... Walking down a street in Roppongi i saw cars for tens of milions of Euros... in 20 minutes! To say that Roppongi is expensive and exclusive is an understatement.

+Der Kanal von Teo You're lucky to be able to stay that long. Have a great time.
+Red Dragon Diaries Yeah :) the Summer holidays in Austria are 9 weeks long :D
Thx😊

mad dusa it's a fantastic place to visit. There's much more to do in Tokyo than just robots and warfare. There's actually too many things to list
Just came from a longer trip. I can also recommend the aquariums!
Merci!!

bacon avocado burger look delicious!
+Alyssa Morales it tasted pretty awesome too!

Hey Tom! This is a really great video! I'm so late checking out your vids lately...sorry!
Great video, informative and stimulating - for all my senses! I hope you consider visiting Fukuoka ... a produced video of that visit would be icing on the cake for me. Thank you for sharing your travel adventure to Tokyo and Osaka. Stella
aah I really want to travel to Japan and try their cuisine! It looks amazing and tasty :)
