Thank you so much, the video is amazing. I was taking notes all the time, I already suscribe to your channel so I can learn more before I travel to Japan ❤ I enjoy when people add history info, or tips and tricks. Thank you !!!!

Katsuo san, oh wow! Thank you so much for watching and your support for this video! I'm glad you liked the video. :) I hope you have a great trip to Tokyo.
Thank you so much Ken chan, this is super informative as I am planning my first trip to Japan. Your style of editing is also great: no loud music transitions, no loud voice super exagerated like many youtubers do, everything is on point! Can you make a video in the future about places to go if you're a music lover? Like where to watch Tokyo orchestra or recitals (classical music), where are bars that have local small bands that play at night, etc. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind message for my video. I wanted to make the video a little more fun and dramatic, but I didn't know how.. ^^; I'm glad you liked the style of the video though. Also thank you for the request for contents. That's including some field that I have to explore, but I think I will definitely want to work on them in the future!
Thank you so much! You did such a great job addressing all the concerns that a visitor might have and even covered things that people might not realize they should think about. It really removes a lot of the anxiety I've had in planning our upcoming trip to Tokyo. I will be sure to share this video with any of my friends who will plan to visit Tokyo in the future, as well as carefully examine all of your other videos. Thank you again!
Thank you for watching the video and your support for the video! I'm glad you could get some relief from the video. I'd like to continue making more videos. Thank you again. :)
Wtn san! Thank you so much for your support for the video! I'm very surpsrised and pleased. Somehow comment with SuperThanks comes up a few hours later than other comments and I apologize it got late to say thank you.
Hi. Thank you. I am planning for my first trip to Tokyo soon. And your simple and organizing way to presenting the locations made me understand much better. Thank you for making it easier for lots of travellers. I have subscribed you. You rock!
I can tell this video was made by a person that has lived in and loved this city for many years. The video has a lot of important information, it delivers it very well and also includes some advice that I find true after doing reasearch for my first travel in many websites. It captures the spirit of each area very well, and without clickbait. Thanks!
This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date travel guide to Japan that I have ever watched, and I congratulate you, Kengo-san, for such an amazing job! 👍🏻😊 From arriving to getting around Tokyo, you refreshingly covered all aspects of travel and hey, they are indeed informative! 🌸 I hope that others who watch this will find it useful and relevant, and, if I ay say, let's go to Tokyo!!! 🌸 Keep up the fascinating videos, Kengo-san!!! ⛩️ 🗾 😊
Gio san, thank you for watching this video! It could be so much better, but I appreciate your kind message and compliments. My brain was like morning rush hours in Shinjuku station when I was making it. 😄 I hope this video is helpful for some travelers visiting Tokyo for the first time. :)
I was in Japan two months ago and I honestly did enjoyed my trip.. I will be going back hopefully in October for at least 21 days to discover more about Japan..
@@tokyokenchan I’m planning a trip to Tokyo early November . I’m interested in experiencing some local festival . Would there any during that period that I can experience
I am so glad I found your channel. I have been researching various videos a guide book to prepare for my trip in Japan. But so far, yours is the most structured, helpful and informative. I look forward to more videos from you.
Thank you very much, great information. I'm retired in Okinawa. This October, I'll be attending a Sake class in Nagano. Will fly into Haneda airport and take the train to Nagano Thanks!!
Very helpful, I've been preparing my trip for September and didn't know we could just add IC cards into the phone. I tried to transfer the Suica card I bought 14 years ago when I visited Tokyo and it worked ! 740 yen were still on it ... Amazing ! Thank you Kenchan :)
Thank you so much for putting together these videos! My husband and I are planning a trip for next year, and this information is helpful! I plan on watching more of your videos
A lot of the information you provided is spot on, leaving for Japan in the morning for my second trip to the Country and I can say business hotels in Japan are great if you want a cheaper place to stay. APA is a good one and the one I use personally. There is one in Akihabara across the street from Yodobashi camara, which in turn is right next to the trains there, there is a 7/11 on one side of the hotel and a family mart on the other.
Thank you! 🙏🙏 This video helps me to understand better how to navigate around better with the trains and metro that I worry the most if i would travel alone to Japan end of this year! 💙💙
As someone who travelled to Tokyo on NOV 2019 (talk abou timing haha!), this video is super helpful! It makes you wonder how much Tokyo and Japan has changed since covid hit. Im definitely planning on travelling there again soon so perhaps this time i can try researching if there are locals willing to give foreigners a nice culinary experience! Some smaller restaurants have everything in Japanese and im sure having someone that knows the language might help! Thank you so so much again!
Thank you for providing such an excellent and accurate guide. I recently visited Tokyo and wish I had had access to your travel guide before my trip. However, I will definitely be back soon and will make sure to make use of your guide next time. Could you please consider doing an overview of Japanese Chain restaurants like Matsuya, Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA, Yoshinoya, Sushiro, Torikizoku, etc?
Zoran san, thank you for watching and your message. Oh you were in Tokyo! I hope you enjoyed your trip. I'm glad to hear that you come back again. :) Thank you for the topic recommendation too.
Excellent video! I'd visited in Tokyo in 2004 and this video made me remember my time there. I loved Shibuya and Akihabara a lot. Greetings from Croatia!
Good video - very informative - like having a local tourist guide. I also like the small details such as the multicultural Shin Okubo, nice views from the automated Odaiba train, Haneda airport.
I'm currently gathering everything I want to sightsee 😅Afterwards all it's left for me is to connect the dots, since I've already booked everything else. I'm pretty flexible, so I'm trying to pack every tokyo indoor activity into 1/2 days in case there are rainy days during my stay in mid april. Your video has given me a couple of spots more to plan ahead 👍 As for video feedback it would helpful to blend lesser known names at 21:42, so anyone can easily find them. I think I understood the first one as Gotokuji the second I didn't quite catch. As far as I know the Welcome Suica card is not refundable that should be important to note, especially for budget travellers (otherwise it's a good looking souvenir) & 25:35 miniscule typo of "trash". Keep up with the steady uploads and your channel can grow much bigger this year. Your information coverage is very wide and the a/b-rolls are fantastic.
Thank you so much for taking your time for such a detailed feedback and encouragement! I can’t believe I spelled trash wrong. I cut some information you mentioned in the last minute to keep the video short, so I’ll add in the description and subtitle with all links to places :) Thank you again. Wish you the best for your next trip.
request video: content that everyone are interested in ..sample itinerary on the most ideal order of places where you can save time and cover more places
Thank you for this video ! My parents are coming to Japan to see me tomorrow, and I didn't knew what I could show them in Tokyo (there are too many things !!) ! :D
Thank you for watching. That's exciting your parents are visiting you tomorrow! I'm sure they enjoy the time wherever you take them as long as they see you are dong well in Tokyo.
Love it man!!! keep it up Ken! I always say your videos are different from the typical youtubers... they are always informative to first time travelers. i find it very helpful. it's the type of questions that pop in my mind. i'm still planning to to go Japan.
Thank you my friend, this is the most informative guide to traveling to Tokyo that I’ve seen. I’m going in may to Japan for the first time, this really helped helped. Subscribed!
Great video as usual man :D Glad to see how your channel has started growing massively, you deserve the success. You helped many people simplify planning their trips so thank you!
Your videos have been very helpful! If traveling with family, does everyone need their own Suica card, or can that be scanned multiple times for each person? My understanding is that the Suica card can be used in place of cash more generally (can be used with vending machines, bike shares, etc.) and can be used in place of tickets for the train, subway, and bus. I am guessing it is only used for unreserved trains and not for trains like limited express of Shinkansen.
Thank you so much Ken Chan for the thorough explanation of Tokyo and Japan. I will be visiting for the first time in early September for almost three weeks, your explanation and your video really helped me make my itinerary even better. Arigatou gozaimasu!
Thank you Kenchan, a very clear and informative videos as always. One thing i might want to add is that I read somewhere that you can only add IC Card on Android phones bought in Japan. So if you use your Android phones from any other countries, you can’t use this features. This is not the case for Iphone. P.S. I just noticed that you got another 1K subscibers since your last video, keep up the good work Kengo-San!
Thank you for your kind message and letting me know about the Android. I will put that in the description and update the information when I have new videos with train informations. Yes! It increased suddenly. Thank you for noticing it and encouragement. :)
Happy to see a dynamic Tokyo especially at SHIBUYA and ASAKUSA. A modern and a traditional atmosphere. How about hotel near Shimbashi station, is it an easy station to go around Tokyo ? Especially to see cherry blossom and go to entertainment area like Shibuya and Shinjuku area ?
Hello. Shinbashi is a very convenient area ot stay. You can take JR, 2 subways, and has direct access to Shibuya and Asakusa by Tokyo Metro Ginza line. For Shinjuku and Shinjuku Gyoen which is known for cherry blossoms, you can change at Akasaka Mitsuke station from Ginza line to Marunouchi line. Shinbashi has lots of places to eat and also 5 minutes walk to Ginza too. Have a great trip in Tokyo. :)
Hi, Ken changed! I am really enjoying your videos. I lived in the Tokyo area, many years ago. These videos bring back wonderful memories. My friends and I will be visiting November '23. We are very excited. Can you recommend LIVE music venues for an older crowd? Thanks so much!
Denise san, thank you for watching my videos! I'm glad you enjoy them. As for the music, are there any specific music genre you prefer? Is is Jazz or something more Japanese? Also, do you prefer dining as you listen to them? I appreciate if you could let me know. Thank you again! 🎷🎵
@Tokyo Kenchan HI, Kenchan! Thanks so much for your response to my message. We like "live" music venues, most. I used to frequent The Blue Note. It would be great to be able to have dinner while having dinner. Do you know anything about R2 Supper Club? Love Jazz. What about Yokohama? Thanks for your help.
I am about to travel to Tokyo and during my research, I have come across several videos, but this particular one stands out as the best. It would be great if you could share an Excel sheet with us as there is a lot of valuable information to absorb in this video. Overall, it's absolutely fantastic!
@@tokyokenchan I would like to express my gratitude once again for creating such a fantastic video. It was extremely informative and helpful. Regarding your query, I definitely agree that having a document would be extremely beneficial. It would be ideal to have a downloadable link to an Excel sheet or Word document that provides the exact address or location to visit. Given that your video covers a vast amount of ground, having such a resource would be tremendously advantageous.
@@feejus I apologize for my late response. Thank you for teaching me about the Excel sheet. It might not be Excel but I'll work on it in the future. I hope you have a great trip.
@@tokyokenchan what I was thinking was a short and concise document which would have details sån, I was thinking a document such as go here for x and short description. Again I want to say Domo Arigato gezimeas for you kind support. I had wonderful stay in Tokyo thnx to your tips.
Arigato, Kenchan! I am planning my visit for the next year, and your videos are very useful, I am watching them to have a general idea of what to do! I'd like to have your opinion about public transportation: I'll rent a place in Akihabara and, if I understood correctly, there is no "universal day ticket" for both the JR line and the metro lines, do you think it is reasonable (or enjoyable, maybe the surface train is something that I should try!) to use only the metro or should I always use a 72hrs ticket and a Suica card? Thank you in advance
Thank you for another amazing video Kenchan! You make the best travel videos for Japan and I'm so happy that I found your channel now that I've started to plan my trip for the fall :) Keep up the hard work and consistency, you have given so much of us a wealth of information🙏
That‘s a very good overview but I guess I need to see the video over again since Tokyo is such a huge place! As all your previous videos, this one helps a lot to plan my first trip to Japan. Thanks Kenchan!
What an informative and comprehensive video! Even though I have visited Japan before, it’s been a while and many things have been updated. Your videos have been so helpful with planning my trip. Arigato ☺️🌸
Kenchan, I am resending this Comment I believe I inadvertently passed over Cancel and the Comment was cancelled. This is a great compilation to help with my trip planned for this May. 1. The slide of the Yamanote line and how I could take a the Chuo line from the Tokyo Station to the Shinjuku Station is good advice. Then use that to get to stations that are either on the west or east side of the Yamanote Line. 2. Thanks for confirming a "walk" from Shinjuku to Shibuya / Harajuku. One of my day trips will be to start at Shibuya and pay my respects to Hachiko and walk to Harajuku. Then circle back to Shibuya in early evening and then back to Ikebukuro (where I am staying). Shinjuku may be a separate day walk. 3. The slide of attractions and how you can properly plan was very elightening. 4. Thank you for pointing out the Seiko Museum and Sony in Ginza. I was planning to take a day trip out to one of the two Seiko factories but the museum will be fine. There is a 1-Day JTB tour that may take care of some of the sites I want to visit including the Imperial Palace, Tsukiji (outer market), Asakusa, Tokyo Tower. I have made plans to visit Wakayama / Kishi Train Station on a 3-day, 2 night side trip. I plan to take a train from Wakayama Station (hotel) to the Kuroshio Fish Market (lunch) and then walk back through Wakayama and back to hotel. Your storage locker information might come in handy if my hotel cannot hold my luggage during visit to Wakayama. Thank You! How about more on Ramen shops, Yakitori, Katsu shops? By the way, is there a shop in Tokyo that I can order a Hanko while I'm there. That's the latest update and thank you for sharing and keep these videos coming! 😻🙏
Hello Wtn san, thank you for writing me again. 1. Yes, Chuo line is convenient. Plus, I always like to take JR as it's above ground and I can see the city. 2. Yes, Shibuya - Harajuku is a walkable area. Harajuku - Shinjuku might be a little far for walking and not much in between (but still possible). That sounds a good plan to separate Shinjuku if you have time. 3. I'm glad to hear that. :) There is always the best time and day to be at the certain locations. 4. Oh! Seiko factory is the one in Nagano or Iwate? I'm sure that will be another experience and Ginza might not be enough for you as it's small. Please see if this is something you enjoy. museum.seiko.co.jp/en/use/ But at least it's free and in the heart of Ginza.😄 There are plenty of shops you can order Hanko. If you are staying in Ikebukuro, the one in Ikebukuro might be convenient. This is just one example ( I have no experience at this store):www.ikebukuronishiguchi-hankohiroba.com/cont5/main.html Thank you for letting me know your amazing plan. I'll keep posting more videos.🗼
Arigato!

Darren & Rosie san, thank you for watching again! Hope this video helps. :)
Thank you, Kenchan. Your guide for planning is most helpful!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found the video helpful. :)
Amazing! It surely helped a LOT on planning my trip to Japan! Thank you for this video, we can see you put a big effort doing it. I loved it!
Thank you for watching and your kind message. I’m glad to know you liked the video. :)
Thank you so much 😊 Your video is very detailed, bug help for a Tokyo first time visitor. Appreciate it 😊
Thank you. I hope you have a great trip to Japan. :)
Wonderful video as always! A suggestion for a future video would be the foods that different cities/regions are known for :)
Thank you for watching! Sure. I'm planning video about each region's shop in Tokyo, so maybe that will be a video including those informations. :)
Great video as usual man :D Glad to see how your channel has started growing massively, you deserve the success. You helped many people simplify planning their trips so thank you!
Thank you always Nikola san for watching. Your encouragement is definitely helping me. I'll keep posting. :)
@@tokyokenchan 😄 by the way you need to fix the title of the video, you wrote things wrong 😄
@@nikoladelakirk Thank you for letting me know! I just corrected it. ^^;
Wonderful intro! Many thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks.
Thank you for your comment about the video! :)
Your videos have been very helpful! If traveling with family, does everyone need their own Suica card, or can that be scanned multiple times for each person? My understanding is that the Suica card can be used in place of cash more generally (can be used with vending machines, bike shares, etc.) and can be used in place of tickets for the train, subway, and bus. I am guessing it is only used for unreserved trains and not for trains like limited express of Shinkansen.
You are amazing and so talented in creating all these video! I am coming in April and can’t wait !!! Thank you sir ❗️
Thank you for your kind message. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you liked the video, and I wish you the best trip to Japan in April.
@@tokyokenchan Arigato!!
Excellent and informative video. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching and your message. :)
This was very informative. We are planning our first trip to Japan this fall.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad to hear you are visiting here for the first time. I hope you have a great trip. :)
Very cool historical introduction Ken san
Thank you Bob san :)
Thank you so much Ken Chan for the thorough explanation of Tokyo and Japan. I will be visiting for the first time in early September for almost three weeks, your explanation and your video really helped me make my itinerary even better. Arigatou gozaimasu!
Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. That’s great you are staying for 3 weeks! I wish you the best trip to Japan :)
Thank you this was very informative. Will help my sister and l greatly when we travel to Japan in May
Thank you for watching. I'm glad the video was informative. I hope you and your sister have a great time in Japan. :)
Thank you Kenchan, a very clear and informative videos as always. One thing i might want to add is that I read somewhere that you can only add IC Card on Android phones bought in Japan. So if you use your Android phones from any other countries, you can’t use this features. This is not the case for Iphone.
P.S. I just noticed that you got another 1K subscibers since your last video, keep up the good work Kengo-San!
Thank you for your kind message and letting me know about the Android. I will put that in the description and update the information when I have new videos with train informations. Yes! It increased suddenly. Thank you for noticing it and encouragement. :)
Thanks for such a helpful video. I learned so much for my trip in June.
Thank you for watching this video too. I'm glad you found this video helpful. I hope I can post more videos by June. :)
Happy to see a dynamic Tokyo especially at SHIBUYA and ASAKUSA. A modern and a traditional atmosphere.
How about hotel near Shimbashi station, is it an easy station to go around Tokyo ?
Especially to see cherry blossom and go to entertainment area like Shibuya and Shinjuku area ?
Hello. Shinbashi is a very convenient area ot stay. You can take JR, 2 subways, and has direct access to Shibuya and Asakusa by Tokyo Metro Ginza line. For Shinjuku and Shinjuku Gyoen which is known for cherry blossoms, you can change at Akasaka Mitsuke station from Ginza line to Marunouchi line. Shinbashi has lots of places to eat and also 5 minutes walk to Ginza too. Have a great trip in Tokyo. :)
Hi, Ken changed!
I am really enjoying your videos. I lived in the Tokyo area, many years ago. These videos bring back wonderful memories. My friends and I will be visiting November '23. We are very excited.
Can you recommend LIVE music venues for an older crowd?
Thanks so much!
Denise san, thank you for watching my videos! I'm glad you enjoy them. As for the music, are there any specific music genre you prefer? Is is Jazz or something more Japanese? Also, do you prefer dining as you listen to them? I appreciate if you could let me know. Thank you again! 🎷🎵
@Tokyo Kenchan HI, Kenchan!
Thanks so much for your response to my message. We like "live" music venues, most. I used to frequent The Blue Note. It would be great to be able to have dinner while having dinner. Do you know anything about R2 Supper Club? Love Jazz. What about Yokohama?
Thanks for your help.
Very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
SUMO is performed on January, May and September in Tokyo.
I am about to travel to Tokyo and during my research, I have come across several videos, but this particular one stands out as the best. It would be great if you could share an Excel sheet with us as there is a lot of valuable information to absorb in this video. Overall, it's absolutely fantastic!
Thank you for your kind message. May I ask if that Excel sheet is something like a guide comes with the link to the places I mentioned in the video?
@@tokyokenchan I would like to express my gratitude once again for creating such a fantastic video. It was extremely informative and helpful. Regarding your query, I definitely agree that having a document would be extremely beneficial. It would be ideal to have a downloadable link to an Excel sheet or Word document that provides the exact address or location to visit. Given that your video covers a vast amount of ground, having such a resource would be tremendously advantageous.
@@feejus I apologize for my late response. Thank you for teaching me about the Excel sheet. It might not be Excel but I'll work on it in the future. I hope you have a great trip.
@@tokyokenchan what I was thinking was a short and concise document which would have details sån, I was thinking a document such as go here for x and short description. Again I want to say Domo Arigato gezimeas for you kind support. I had wonderful stay in Tokyo thnx to your tips.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Arigato, Kenchan! I am planning my visit for the next year, and your videos are very useful, I am watching them to have a general idea of what to do!
I'd like to have your opinion about public transportation: I'll rent a place in Akihabara and, if I understood correctly, there is no "universal day ticket" for both the JR line and the metro lines, do you think it is reasonable (or enjoyable, maybe the surface train is something that I should try!) to use only the metro or should I always use a 72hrs ticket and a Suica card? Thank you in advance
Thank you for another amazing video Kenchan! You make the best travel videos for Japan and I'm so happy that I found your channel now that I've started to plan my trip for the fall :) Keep up the hard work and consistency, you have given so much of us a wealth of information🙏
Thank you for finding my channel and your kind message. I'll work on more videos before your trip. :)
So useful thanks Ken - can’t wait to visit Tokyo later in the year
Thank you for watching. Wish you the best trip to Japan later this year.
Very good video, arigato!
Thank you for watching. Arigato!
That‘s a very good overview but I guess I need to see the video over again since Tokyo is such a huge place!
As all your previous videos, this one helps a lot to plan my first trip to Japan. Thanks Kenchan!
Serge san, thank you for watching this video too! Yes, I hope you could capture the snapshot of Tokyo sight seeing. :)
thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you Ken chan! Very helpful video for sure, especially about IC cards!!
Davy san, Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found it helpful :)
Awesome video - super informative. I'm planning my first trip to Japan and I find this really helpfull - thanks a lot!
Thank you for watching. That's exciting you are visitng here for the first time! I wish you the best trip in Japan.
What an informative and comprehensive video! Even though I have visited Japan before, it’s been a while and many things have been updated. Your videos have been so helpful with planning my trip. Arigato ☺️🌸
Thank you for your kind message. I’m glad you found the video helpful. :) I wish your next trip to Japan is a great one.
@@tokyokenchan Just being in Japan again is going to be amazing for me, but your helpful tips will make it even better 😊
Kenchan, I am resending this Comment I believe I inadvertently passed over Cancel and the Comment was cancelled.
This is a great compilation to help with my trip planned for this May.
1. The slide of the Yamanote line and how I could take a the Chuo line from the Tokyo Station to the Shinjuku Station is good advice. Then use that to get to stations that are either on the west or east side of the Yamanote Line.
2. Thanks for confirming a "walk" from Shinjuku to Shibuya / Harajuku. One of my day trips will be to start at Shibuya and pay my respects to Hachiko and walk to Harajuku. Then circle back to Shibuya in early evening and then back to Ikebukuro (where I am staying). Shinjuku may be a separate day walk.
3. The slide of attractions and how you can properly plan was very elightening.
4. Thank you for pointing out the Seiko Museum and Sony in Ginza. I was planning to take a day trip out to one of the two Seiko factories but the museum will be fine.
There is a 1-Day JTB tour that may take care of some of the sites I want to visit including the Imperial Palace, Tsukiji (outer market), Asakusa, Tokyo Tower.
I have made plans to visit Wakayama / Kishi Train Station on a 3-day, 2 night side trip. I plan to take a train from Wakayama Station (hotel) to the Kuroshio Fish Market (lunch) and then walk back through Wakayama and back to hotel. Your storage locker information might come in handy if my hotel cannot hold my luggage during visit to Wakayama. Thank You!
How about more on Ramen shops, Yakitori, Katsu shops?
By the way, is there a shop in Tokyo that I can order a Hanko while I'm there.
That's the latest update and thank you for sharing and keep these videos coming! 😻🙏
Hello Wtn san, thank you for writing me again. 1. Yes, Chuo line is convenient. Plus, I always like to take JR as it's above ground and I can see the city. 2. Yes, Shibuya - Harajuku is a walkable area. Harajuku - Shinjuku might be a little far for walking and not much in between (but still possible). That sounds a good plan to separate Shinjuku if you have time. 3. I'm glad to hear that. :) There is always the best time and day to be at the certain locations. 4. Oh! Seiko factory is the one in Nagano or Iwate? I'm sure that will be another experience and Ginza might not be enough for you as it's small. Please see if this is something you enjoy. museum.seiko.co.jp/en/use/ But at least it's free and in the heart of Ginza.😄 There are plenty of shops you can order Hanko. If you are staying in Ikebukuro, the one in Ikebukuro might be convenient. This is just one example ( I have no experience at this store):www.ikebukuronishiguchi-hankohiroba.com/cont5/main.html Thank you for letting me know your amazing plan. I'll keep posting more videos.🗼
Very informative. Thank you for this summarized info. 👍🙏
