    It feels weird watching your channel after having lived in Japan for a few months as an exchange student. Before, when I watched your channel everything was like a detached feeling of splendor and wonder, but now, I have context. I've been in these places, I understand them, I know where they are and how to get there via train or subway or walking, what the vibes are, and what it's like to really be there. So, if watching your videos before gave me a sense of unknown wonder, now it's like a warm sense of familiarity. Not sure what I want to say with this comment, but thanks for your videos Chris, they're always a treat!

      Same here. It has been 8 months and I will leave in May but I've walked and travelled all across Japan and have seen a whole lot in Tokyo. Especially the area east of Asakusa around Sumidagawa. Haven't watched the video yet but I doubt they walked along the river there. If anyone is visiting Tokyo, go down to the riverside walkway at around Kuramae and walk your way up to Asakusa in the evening. Not only is it incredibly relaxing to walk along the river in evening, you also get beautiful views of it and Tokyo Skytree before eventually walking back up to Sensoji, which is always nicer to experience when the crowds are gone.

Needless to say, we are already saving up for our next trip back!

    It reminded me of when my cousins from other cities would come by São Paulo and we'd walk all over town! I know you said that it's a big walk, but it also reminded me that some parts could def be those walk around streams, very chill, but probably tiring to make yes?

    Pete is spot on about just how nice it is to be available to walk places versus having very little within walking distance here in America unless you're in a big city. It's very isolating so I spent most of my vacation in Tokyo just walking the streets because I had the freedom to do so.

      My recommendation would be to visit a different part of the city each day and really explore everything around it there.
      Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Akihabara (if you like anime, also not a full day worth of exploring), Asakusa, Ginza, Minato
      In the evening you take the train to a different part of the city and find a place to eat dinner there.
      Then leave two days open in case you find places that really resonate with you, which you wanna visit again.
      Personally I love just walking around Tokyo seeing what I can find and the best experiences I had where always spontanious ones. If you are the adventurous type of person I wouldn't recommend planning your meals too much. Just make a list of things you wanna eat, then look at the list during the day, pick something you like and find a place that offers that.
