I've been such a huge fan since I was in highschool you've inspired me so much that I'm currently in Japan for study abroad! Thank you for showing such an awesome day trip!
@@KingKogi Same here! I just rediscovered your videos on this new(ish?) channel and it sparked so much inspiration. I just bought tickets to Japan for next February! Using most of your videos for my itinerary 😂🫶🏼
I've been watching since highschool too, I think they had just moved to Japan then so didn't have much Japan content so they kinda got me into south Korea culture too!
When I was younger I used to watch EatYourKimchi religiously and now after splitting from a 13 year relationship I’ve been burying myself in your newer work. Just wanted to say thank you for always putting out such amazing videos! 💕
I have visited Yokohama twice (first time around 5 years ago and second time was few months ago) and I would like to share some of my absolutely favorite places: 1 - Yokohama Doll Museum 2 - Hara Model Railway Museum If you like miniatures, dolls, and history those two places are an absolute delight! Even if you are not particularly into trains or dolls, I would say they are a must visit. My third pick is is about food, and even though it is by no means central, and takes around 35 minutes to get to - "Hectopascal" is THE BEST pizza in Japan I have had.
Hi Martina! Love your videos! Just letting you know that the malassada is actually a Portuguese treat that is very popular in Hawaii. So the origin is actually Portuguese!
I know 😩 I should have mentioned it,as I actually knew it was Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii that started Leonard’s. They started making Portuguese malasada for a Portuguese holiday and sold it at their bakery and it took off. I realize looking back on it, it sounds like I’m saying “malasada is Hawaiian”but I’m grateful for having audience members like you that can also share this information when I miss the mark! 🙇🏼♀️
Yea it’s actually a copy of the French beignet. You know coffee is served everywhere and some people think it’s originally South American but it’s actually Ethiopian. Hawaii grows coffee beans too.
I love your channel SO much (And have followed you for years). You know these videos really reminded me what I loved about Travel Channel when they were still showing Globetrotter. So many interesting locations, friendly hosts with pleasant voices. It just felt like you were travelling with them. Now I have replaced that hole in my soul with your videos
I know through the years and through your previous channel you have talked about accessibility in Japan but I would LOVE to see a video on accessibility. I see your badge hanging from your backpack and I think so many people (including myself) are jealous at the many different ways Japan helps everyone including pregnant people. I know I get so excited at any video you post but would LOVE to have a full video on accessibility in Japan/asia.
It's amazing to see what you've built Martina ❤️ I have been following you since I was a teenager, I'm now 27 with a kiddo, who also loves to watch you! ❤️🎉 ❤️ You're incredible and I'm so happy you kept your videos going even after all you've been through! You're an inspiration to us both! 🥰
Oh gosh 😭 thanks so much for sticking around through all the bumps and up and downs. It’s been a super difficult times for me (and the whole world) past few years, but the community on King Kogi trickling in and bringing joy to my life has been amazing. Thanks so much for watching, and hi to your kids!
Yokahama looks like it’s not too sensory overwhelming! Someday it’d be cool to get a guide for ppl who want to go to Japan but get overwhelmed with their senses 😅🎉❤
Wonderful to see Yokohama get some coverage from a quality channel. My wife and I are looking to move there as part of a 5 year plan. Please keep up with the great work you do. But balanced with relaxing wander days. Thank you Martina.
Funny thing too is I figured out that I had EDS through watching you, so I have had so much help from you, I will keep building. Thank you for everything ❤️.
Martina, you look like you are living well and truly loving/being refreshed by life. I have been watching your content for many years and am so so happy for you as a fellow zebra. May your days be full of light! ❤
Hi Martina, You're videos are such a gem to watch. I love the editing, the humor, the shots y'all take, and your voice over. Such a joy to watch and still have since 2010! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! Keep it up and sending love from Oregon :)
i'm so glad i found your channel coz i needed places to check out in yokohama---I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR HUMOR i barely see anyone with the same humor as i do lmaooooo keep up the amazing work!
Welcome to the channel and hop aboard the humour train, toot toot! 🚂 The whole community here has a pretty hilarious sense of comedy, so you might have found your people.
This is perfect!! We leave for Kawasaki with our scout troop in late July and our host families are asking what we would like to do that’s local. How timely! You rock and are awesome for posting these videos. The only RUclips channel from all my subscriptions that I actually rang the bell for. :)
Well gosh thanks so much for such a great comment 😭 so amazing that you ring that bell 🛎️ and happy to help! Please check the infobox for a free map guide to this area from my travel guide shop!
It’s crazy how I used to watch your videos in high school mostly for entertainment, because moving to Japan was such a foreign concept, to now actually moving to Japan and using these videos to plan weekend trips 😂
I met some girls from Yokohama when I was like 11 and vowed to go there one day and see what it's like. When I turned 21 I finally went and had such an amazing day there! I wanna go back there for sure and this guide is super helpful.
In Yokohama there’s a ramen museum that’s not the cup ramen one! It’s really good and every place has mini ramens so you can try ramen from each restaurant!! It’s super fun
I stayed in Yokohama for a week with a homestay family and went to school there. Commuting all the way to Tokyo boggles my mind. I’m excited to visit Japan once again in the future. the cool kids call it y-ko.
I'm blown away Leonard's has a branch in Yokohama! Gosh those are so good. Deceptively simple, but a perfect magical balance of texture and flavor. mmmmm
Hey Captain, been a pretty rough day for lil ol me, having one of those "ahhh all my chronic pain and stress is making me depressed" days, but i did get through work and have been peeking at bits of the video throughout the day. Your content is so uplifting to me and reminds me to be my funky lil self. Love ya much Martina, thank you and Dan and your whole team for the work you put into these lovely lil vids!
I did 2.5 weeks in Japan in May and based myself out of Yokohama. It is a wonderful place to see and do things as well as take trains to Tokyo and other parts of Japan from Shin-Yokohama station.
I was just wishing I could find a video that wasn't toxic and depressing and then I saw your beautiful face. I thanked the algorithm for directing me to a creator I haven't seen in some time. I just subscribed and I am excited for the future content. 😊😊😊
I'm flying to Japan in 2 weeks! this is so helpful! Thank you so much! Will definitely add this to my list to visit in Japan! I didn't even know this existed! Sooo excited to explore Japan
I watched Eat you kimchi about ten years ago briefly for about a year and then life happened and I lost track. Just the other day I thought of it again and saw about the divorce and all the big changes. I recently left a narcissist and am in my own new apartment. I’m happy to have a new channel to watch that in some ways feels aligned with my own new chapter.
It's always such a joy to see when you upload a new video and even after 10 years of being a fan, your personality always seems to make me happy, even on crappy days!
Just found your videos, and we love it! You & Dan are such a great team. Thank you! Thank you! We are going to Yokohama at the end of this year. Thanks to your videos that get us so excited about our first visit to Yokohama.
This was quite emotional for me, as this is one of the places a beloved friend of mine took my mom and me less than a year before she decided... Yeah, so it was special to see it. I've been back, last time my mom visited before I left Japan, still makes me miss her...❤
Hi there from the US! I've been watching vlogs from Abroad in Japan and other Tokyo Creative people forever, so I'm surprised I didn't see your channel sooner. This was a fun tour! Nice variety of camera work and places. Everything you included in your tour was new to me, and it looks like there's quite a library of past adventures to see. Keep up the awesome work! 😊
Welcome to the King Kogi universe Becca, so happy you stumbled upon my channel. I hope to see you in the comment section again! Enjoy the library of adventures~
Great Video! In addition to the suggestions made in the video, I would like to add a few things I went to see in Yokohama during a day trip I took there from Tokyo. 1) Yokohama Chinatown: Very walkable with bright lit alleys with red lantern lights and tons of different chinese restaurants and snack places, with cantonese and taiwanese foods! It is the largest Chinatown in Japan. (Kobe also has a smaller Chinatown) 2) Yokohama Gundam Factory: They are closing up in 2024 (according to the current announcements). You don't have to be a Gundam fan to enjoy the spectacle that is a 6-story Gundam mecha that MOVES, with daily scheduled light/music shows featuring the moving Gundam mecha.
I've been watching you for at least 6 years now and every single one of your videos inspires me just a little bit more to travel to Japan. Your videos will be so invaluable when I finally make it there. I feel like once I'll go I'll be looking around on every street corner and near every CROD sticker expecting to see yoU!
I went here on November. Got lost in the Mall trying to look for the entrance to the Landmark Plaza. I was looking for the Ghibli store. Minatomirai is a very beautiful place.
I definitely have built up to being able to handle such a long day of walking, but I also got a hotel to stay overnight after filming this so that I didn’t crash hard. Had a nice sleep in and then filmed another video that afternoon 🎥
I really enjoyed watching this! I finally got to go to Japan for a whole month in January after it being my dream since i was very little, I used to ask my parents if i could stay up late just to watch you guys stream and talk about your adventures! We even stayed in Yokohama and it was only one station away from the bay!! I can't wait to visit these spots if I'm ever able to come back 😊💗🌸
I am half Japanese, and my Aunt lives in Yokohama, also my mother's favorite city in Japan. Whenever I think about Yokohama I think Izesaki-chou, if you don't know this quite large shipping street, you should try it out, its old fashioned and the street leads you directly to Kannai Station, or Isezaki-Chojamachi Metro station.
This is perfect! My friends and I are hoping to make a trip to Japan in 2025 and we're totally overwhelmed with things to do or places to go. I do know that I want to visit Yokohama, as from what I've seen, I completely fell in love with the place. Thanks so much!
Martina you look great! thank you for showing us around around Yokohama, it seems like there are so many fun things to do and it doesn't seem too overcrowded
The streets are wider than Tokyo's Shibuya, Asakusa, and Akihabara, and there aren't many tourists, so you can spend a comfortable time in Yokohama. However, Kamakura and Enoshima, which can be reached in 30 minutes from Yokohama, have narrow streets and are extremely crowded, so be careful.
I honestly would want a collab with Martina (King Kogi) and Paolo fromTOKYO. Planning on visiting Japan again this year and I have been watching both of them for guides. That collab will be so epic!
Yay Yokohama everytime in Queen Square when I see the poem in german from the escalator its so weird but lovely (Yes, greetings from Germany ;) ) Last time we spend a few days in Yokohama to explore and it was such a nice experience, because it is so walkable (?) there. Thank you, as always, for this great video
Thank you so much for this one! My whole family and I will be staying in Tokyo on their first night in Japan, ever. This gave me great ideas to show them around, and I think they will particularly love the craft beer at Hammerhead 7/11 and getting to see the bay at night.
Loving your sense of humor in this video, Martina! Glad to see more of your whimsical self paired with a quality guide/video. Can't wait to hit up some of these places when I'm back in japan!
I'm so glad I found your channel! Not only are you incredibly helpful, but you are also absolutely delightful! The "mark is" moment had me laughing haha
Thanks Marina! I'm not able to travel for the next couple years, so it's so fun being able to explore new places with you and daydream about future trips and adventures. ☺️
I'm currently in Tokyo and the tour I planned to do tomorrow just got cancelled. I vaguely remembered a recent video from KingKogi about a daytrip, and so this is my plan now! thank you for sharing~ ❤
Late to comment, but I’m in Japan on vacation right now and was looking for things to do in Yokohama on the last day. Keep on making great content, as someone who also deals with EDS you rock.
@@KingKogi Thanks! Weirdly, I think I liked the super firm beds, cause it seemed like they made me just stay on my back the whole night instead of tossing and turning.
OMG! You are the main reason why I feel soo excited and prepared when I go visit Japan! but I'm also happy you and Dan are working and still buddies! I'm happy for your glow you have and I hope it continues!
Small correction: the malasada is Portuguese, not Hawaiian. Though, Portuguese malasada (at least all the ones I've had here in the Portuguese-American communities in the US) are more like a flat fried dough, not round. Portuguese sailors did make their way to Hawaii, though, and also had an influence on Japan when they arrived there (like pan being the word for bread).
I’m Brazilian and I thought malasada was a Spanish word. We have a very similar snack. Sonho is like a malasada filled with guava jam minus the cinnamon.
@@straysheep4467 Cueca! We have “cueca virada” in Brazil, and it might be closer to the Portuguese malasada than sonho. Cueca virada is a pillowy sweet deep fried dough covered in sugar. The only difference is its shape that resembles an inside out cueca (men’s underwear).
I’m from HI and here it’s commonly accepted that malasadas are Hawaiian food. I’ve been told by others that malasadas don’t exist in portugal, but they obvi exist outside of HI. I’ve had them on the east coast and in CA. Unfortunately they are never as good as the Hawaiian ones. But maybe I’m just biased 😅
@@stmarysmusicboxjust google malasada…it’s 100% a Portuguese treat but originated within the Azores Islands. Been eating it my whole life. But the ones in Hawaii are legit my most favorite…the puffiness 😍
Great video and humor, I love it! I’m going to japan this year and we really want to go to yokohama, specially because our favorite anime happens there, but this locations looks amazing. We live in a sea shore city, so that our vibe. Thanks you!!!!
Omg omg Martina I swear you have been listening to my thoughts as I have been planning a trip to Tokyo with the family for next month and we will be staying in Yokohama since I just love the wide open spaces. Now secretly hoping to run into you😊😊
Thank you Martina for continuing to gift us with your hard work and great content that us Eyk fans enjoyed and can now continue to enjoy on your new channel ❤❤❤❤
I admit, I totally overlooked Yokohama, but it was the setting of an anime I loved during the pandemic (Bungou Stray Dogs) and I found myself pausing the show to look at all the cool buildings. Imagine my surprise to know that the real life city looks so similar to the backgrounds on the show. So when I do my Japan trip in the next couple years, I am DEFINITELY going and I'll be using your guide and this video :)
I've been such a huge fan since I was in highschool you've inspired me so much that I'm currently in Japan for study abroad! Thank you for showing such an awesome day trip!
Wow that’s so amazing to hear 😮 hope you make some incredible memories

はじめまして♡
横浜を丁寧に紹介してくださりありがとうございます♡♡
私は､生まれも育ちも横浜です｡先祖代々横浜に住んでいます。これからも横浜のいろんな情報を発信してください｡
本当にありがとう♡♡♡

Yokahama looks like it’s not too sensory overwhelming! Someday it’d be cool to get a guide for ppl who want to go to Japan but get overwhelmed with their senses 😅🎉❤
For reference Toronto overwhelmed me 😅
I recommend my Gotokuji temple Tokyo Tours! I even mention how it’s chill for those of us with sensory sensitivity 🐱
If you’re sensitive to the sensory overwhelm, I would avoid any large city. Just visit smaller cities or towns or do beach vacations
You always make my day with these! Sending love from another H-EDS fighter ❤
Wonderful to see Yokohama get some coverage from a quality channel. My wife and I are looking to move there as part of a 5 year plan. Please keep up with the great work you do. But balanced with relaxing wander days. Thank you Martina.
Martina, I have watched since Korea just wanted to let you know you have helped me build a ladder without ever knowing it, Thank you.
I’m so happy to hear that 😭 thanks so much for letting me know. Let’s keep building! 🔨
Funny thing too is I figured out that I had EDS through watching you, so I have had so much help from you, I will keep building. Thank you for everything ❤️.

I used to watch your videos way back in high school and now im watching this in 2023 during lunch breaks at work :)
I loved Yokohama, Cup Noodle museum was much more fun than I thought!
Mark is a caring individual that enjoys gallivanting on beaches and appreciates the unique difference between there their and they’re
It’s crazy how I used to watch your videos in high school mostly for entertainment, because moving to Japan was such a foreign concept, to now actually moving to Japan and using these videos to plan weekend trips 😂
I adore Yokohama. Doesn’t get enough love. Thanks for sharing!
so glad to hear that dan is still around!! :)
He sure is, and we’re enjoying working together and filming this new series together 🎥
I met some girls from Yokohama when I was like 11 and vowed to go there one day and see what it's like. When I turned 21 I finally went and had such an amazing day there! I wanna go back there for sure and this guide is super helpful.

Oh captain my captain - Omg 😱 flowers and fluffers in their spring garb ??? - I wish they had that where I live
Hey Captain, been a pretty rough day for lil ol me, having one of those "ahhh all my chronic pain and stress is making me depressed" days, but i did get through work and have been peeking at bits of the video throughout the day. Your content is so uplifting to me and reminds me to be my funky lil self.
Love ya much Martina, thank you and Dan and your whole team for the work you put into these lovely lil vids!
Thanks for the advice. We just ate Malasadas and are still in heaven!! Sooo delicious🥰
Scrumptious right? Was it a big line?
How great is Yokohama , one of my favourite places to visit when I’m staying in Tokyo 🤘🏻🇦🇺🇯🇵🤘🏻
I did 2.5 weeks in Japan in May and based myself out of Yokohama. It is a wonderful place to see and do things as well as take trains to Tokyo and other parts of Japan from Shin-Yokohama station.

Unrelated, but that lipstick color looks so beautiful on you!
I'm flying to Japan in 2 weeks! this is so helpful! Thank you so much! Will definitely add this to my list to visit in Japan! I didn't even know this existed! Sooo excited to explore Japan
this is one place i'm visiting when we are going there in late sept....i can't wait i'm all about the gundam store and the gundam factory...
MARTINA Thank you for this! When I go December 2024, I’m 100% going to Yokohama.
LOVED this tour thank u so much Martina and Dan!! really appreciated seeing Yokohama -- hardly any content on it
I watched Eat you kimchi about ten years ago briefly for about a year and then life happened and I lost track. Just the other day I thought of it again and saw about the divorce and all the big changes. I recently left a narcissist and am in my own new apartment. I’m happy to have a new channel to watch that in some ways feels aligned with my own new chapter.
I am going yo Yokohama in a month!! So excited!
Wow i’m really impressed with how informative and different this guide is than the other travel channels. Really great stuff. The vibes are excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it! It took me a while to map out my plan for this video, and it was a very long filming day haha, but I knew it would be worth it!
I agree, and these King Kogi videos are better than the older Eatyourkimchi or Eatyoursushi videos. The videos just seem more refined
It's always such a joy to see when you upload a new video and even after 10 years of being a fan, your personality always seems to make me happy, even on crappy days!
I missed your vids. I'm glad you're back, Martina❤
I used to live in Yokohama. Brings back so many memories.
Just found your videos, and we love it! You & Dan are such a great team. Thank you! Thank you!
We are going to Yokohama at the end of this year. Thanks to your videos that get us so excited about our first visit to Yokohama.
The sticker at 7:48 min. with the blue dog is in German and says "Its beautiful you are dancing" (I'm sorry if the grammar is off). Its really cute :D
This was quite emotional for me, as this is one of the places a beloved friend of mine took my mom and me less than a year before she decided... Yeah, so it was special to see it. I've been back, last time my mom visited before I left Japan, still makes me miss her...❤

Your channel is like warm tea on a rainy day. Always cheers me up. :)
I'm happy to be a warm cuppa tea~
I didn’t know that about cold brew coffee I’ll have to keep that in mind
Excellent thanks! I wanted to explore more of Yokohama. This helps a lot.
I really admire your way of filming and editing 🤩
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it~
6:06 so cute I had to do a doubletake
Martina, I appreciate all the walking you do. I wouldn't be able to do all of it. If I did I'd have to have a full day of rest / recovery. ❤
I definitely have built up to being able to handle such a long day of walking, but I also got a hotel to stay overnight after filming this so that I didn’t crash hard. Had a nice sleep in and then filmed another video that afternoon 🎥

Midsummer and midwinter are too hot and too cold, so I think it's better to avoid them."
Have a nice trip ❤️

Martina - I'm so glad to see you! Forever your fan!
Thank you for this Vid! This inspired my family & I fo venture to Yokohama this wknd!🥰💖
I have to say that I love the music you added into the background and the start of each different segment, it really is a nice added touch.
actually planned a day trip here during my 10 day visit in japan later in November so this video popping up in my feed is pretty clutch haha
Oh excellent! And there are many adventures to be had in Yokohama outside these locations too
Yay Yokohama everytime in Queen Square when I see the poem in german from the escalator its so weird but lovely (Yes, greetings from Germany ;) ) Last time we spend a few days in Yokohama to explore and it was such a nice experience, because it is so walkable (?) there.

Thank you so much for this one! My whole family and I will be staying in Tokyo on their first night in Japan, ever. This gave me great ideas to show them around, and I think they will particularly love the craft beer at Hammerhead 7/11 and getting to see the bay at night.
Thanks for the great video Martina!! I'll be sure to stop by Yokohama on my next trip to Japan, thanks for all the awesome recommendations!
Loving your sense of humor in this video, Martina! Glad to see more of your whimsical self paired with a quality guide/video. Can't wait to hit up some of these places when I'm back in japan!
🎉yay martina so happy to see you you bring joy to me and my families day always ❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel! Not only are you incredibly helpful, but you are also absolutely delightful! The "mark is" moment had me laughing haha
I had been out of the loop with your channel for a while, and it’s great to see you again having fun and being your gorgeous sunshine self 🌈✨
wish we'd seen your video before arriving in Yokohama a month ago. But we did see the warehouse garden being constructed. It's a spectacle.
Thanks Marina! I'm not able to travel for the next couple years, so it's so fun being able to explore new places with you and daydream about future trips and adventures. ☺️
Your videos are always such a delight Martina. Thank you so much for sharing your passions and allowing us to enjoy them as well!
I'm currently in Tokyo and the tour I planned to do tomorrow just got cancelled. I vaguely remembered a recent video from KingKogi about a daytrip, and so this is my plan now! thank you for sharing~ ❤
Wow, Martina, your production quality has skyrocketed!! ❤😮
didn't know there are actually many things to do in yokohama. thanks for sharing
Late to comment, but I’m in Japan on vacation right now and was looking for things to do in Yokohama on the last day. Keep on making great content, as someone who also deals with EDS you rock.
Fellow EDSer! Hope the beds weren’t too hard for you during your vacation, and I also hope you grabbed my free Yokohama digital guide to use!
@@KingKogi Thanks! Weirdly, I think I liked the super firm beds, cause it seemed like they made me just stay on my back the whole night instead of tossing and turning.
i recommend the china town there, it was quite vibrant
This video was great I’m going to be in Tokyo in sept and I want to do a whole day in Yokohama bcuz there is a great yakitori spot there can’t wait
Thanks for sharing things to do in yokohama
Cinematography is also clutch in this video.
OMG! You are the main reason why I feel soo excited and prepared when I go visit Japan! but I'm also happy you and Dan are working and still buddies! I'm happy for your glow you have and I hope it continues!
Small correction: the malasada is Portuguese, not Hawaiian. Though, Portuguese malasada (at least all the ones I've had here in the Portuguese-American communities in the US) are more like a flat fried dough, not round.
Portuguese sailors did make their way to Hawaii, though, and also had an influence on Japan when they arrived there (like pan being the word for bread).
I’m Brazilian and I thought malasada was a Spanish word.
We have a very similar snack. Sonho is like a malasada filled with guava jam minus the cinnamon.
@@monicas2461 It is from the Azores originally, though I might have misspelled it. My Portuguese is admittedly atrocius.
Except for cuecas.
@@straysheep4467
Cueca! We have “cueca virada” in Brazil, and it might be closer to the Portuguese malasada than sonho. Cueca virada is a pillowy sweet deep fried dough covered in sugar. The only difference is its shape that resembles an inside out cueca (men’s underwear).
I’m from HI and here it’s commonly accepted that malasadas are Hawaiian food. I’ve been told by others that malasadas don’t exist in portugal, but they obvi exist outside of HI. I’ve had them on the east coast and in CA. Unfortunately they are never as good as the Hawaiian ones. But maybe I’m just biased 😅
@@stmarysmusicboxjust google malasada…it’s 100% a Portuguese treat but originated within the Azores Islands. Been eating it my whole life. But the ones in Hawaii are legit my most favorite…the puffiness 😍
I’m been missing your videos. Glad you’re back! ❤
What a wonderful way to start a Sunday Morning (Canada) by receiving a gift which is a new King Kogi video 😁💖💖💖
Adding this to my trip next year when I go to Japan. Thanks Martina
Great video and humor, I love it! I’m going to japan this year and we really want to go to yokohama, specially because our favorite anime happens there, but this locations looks amazing. We live in a sea shore city, so that our vibe. Thanks you!!!!
Omg omg Martina I swear you have been listening to my thoughts as I have been planning a trip to Tokyo with the family for next month and we will be staying in Yokohama since I just love the wide open spaces. Now secretly hoping to run into you😊😊
Thank you Martina for continuing to gift us with your hard work and great content that us Eyk fans enjoyed and can now continue to enjoy on your new channel ❤❤❤❤
I admit, I totally overlooked Yokohama, but it was the setting of an anime I loved during the pandemic (Bungou Stray Dogs) and I found myself pausing the show to look at all the cool buildings. Imagine my surprise to know that the real life city looks so similar to the backgrounds on the show. So when I do my Japan trip in the next couple years, I am DEFINITELY going and I'll be using your guide and this video :)
I'm so glad you're back on YT.
