I went to Shibuya today and as you said, I turned around after 1 hour because of how overwhelming it was (It doesn't help that I did a day trip to Kyoto yesterday, in the scorching sun, with little to no sleep haha). But, I will give it another go before I leave, and give some of your recommendations a try. Thank you!
Lillesnok san, thank you so much for your super support! First time to see NOK. I really appreciate it. That must have been difficult to visit Shibuya after a day trip to Kyoto, especially on Sunday. I hope you take a rest well and continue a good trip. Thank you again!
Kevin san Dayle san, oh thank you for that! haha. I know not all videos are interesting for everyone. I deeply appreciate your support thought. Thank you so much for your support for this video. :)
Thank you for such a nice comment Albie san. I'm glad you liked the video. Haha, I hope you get the most of Tokyo during your stay and find your favorite spots. :)
I'd like Shibuya, a busy city... You can see this view is similar to the situation in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur - a capital city of MALAYSIA. You can spend your time to visit the city, soon...
Kevin san, Dayle san, thank you for watching! I posted non-edited version of this video 2 hour ago accidentally, so that's what I commented earlier. Sorry for the confusion. :)
Your videos are simply the best. I have always, wanted to explore each of Tokyo’s neighborhood of beyond the street level, Omotesando, Asakusa, Ueno , *Akihabara , Nihonbashi, Shinjuku, Minato. Thank you so much. You are a star.
Even though I was in Tokyo for 7 days In March, I still did not have the time for Shibuya. I visited some great places following your suggestions in the 7 unique neighborhoods. Will have to wait for next time to see Shibuya, hopefully soon.
Edna san, thank you for watching. Shibuya is very busy, so it might be good to just drop by for a few hours. I saw a Peru restaurant in one of the back street so I will try someday soon. :)
Kengo-San, I always get lost when I’m in Shibuya! Haha! When we were there in February it was really crowded, but it was good to go back! Thank you for sharing all the info, so helpful!!!🙋🏻♂️
Hello Davy san! Thank you for watching. :) Haha, yes. I always get surprised how busy Shibuya can be especially on weekend. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Shibuya!
One of the BEST videos I have seen about Shibuya. I realised how much I missed at Parco (food and garden areas) last April. And on my walks to Shinjuku. I will not miss next April!
Hello. Yes, the rooftop of Parco is free and you can just get on the elevator by the Koendori street or challenge to walk up the escalator/stairs around the building. :) Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you! I love this kind of video because it really elevate the experience when exploring a neighbourhood. Keep them coming! I wanted to try Kura Sushi but according to Tabelog, it is just OK. How does it compare to other quality Kaitenzushi like the Toriton Sushi in Skytree - or do you think they're all about thr same? Any other recommendations for Kaitenzushi in the area?
Thank you for watching! In my perception, Toriton and these $1 Sushi chains are in different category for Sushi quality. Something similar or better Kaitenzushi is, "Nemuro Hanamaru" in Kitte Marunouchi or Ginza Tokyu Plaza. Both chains from Hokkaido have a long line, so better to go early. :) Kura (only Harajuku shop) is good for the fun experience (big box seats, iconic design...). This specific Uobei in Shibuya may not be a good choice for family as it only has counter (Uobei is usually much bigger with box seats). You may not find much difference in Sushi quality among $1 Sushi chains, but it is a fun place to eat. I feel it changed a lot in past 2-3 years especially in Tokyo... but I might be wrong.
Osho... Is one favorites!!!! I travel Japan looking for them haha😅. It's crazy, but one of my favorites in Shibuya is Shakey's pizza..... There is not many in the US anymore. So when I'm in Tokyo i go by to have pizza and the mojo potatoes. ;)
Oh I like Shakey's too. I often go one in Shinjuku, in front of Isetan when I feel like endless pizza, potatoes and Coke. Was it also the same pizza buffet style in the US? Yes, Osho is very reasonalble and filling. It shines in Shibuya, where everything is a bit pricy. haha.
@@tokyokenchan the lunch buffet at Shakey's Pizza in the US with similar but you have different choices in Japan. No curry dishes are noodle dishes in the US :). But they really need to get ranch dressing for the mojo potatoes
Mark san. I'm working on something similar topic now. For a day trip from Tokyo, Hayama's Ishiki beach and Miura Kaigan has fairly clean water. For 1-2 nights trip from Tokyo, beaches in Shimoda in Southern Izu (Yumigahama, Izu-Shirahama, Sotoura) are great. From Kansai, Shirahama in Wakayama is great among what I have been.
Shinjuku is bigger and more focus on entertainment area like Kabukicho, while Shibuya is a little more relaxed with parks and shopping streets. As one area, Shinjuku is much bigger from Gyoen garden to Central Park in the west. There are more choices of International brand hotels in Shinjuku. Thank you for the interesting question!
I wandered around Shibuya a number of times when I was in Japan..I only went in Tower Records and..HMV.. I think?..and Tokyu Hand? (looking some kind of straps)...Because of anixety (and being solo) I didn't enter any eateries.....just not brave enough...Also being vegetarian..I had no idea what I was looking at regards menus outside...I just walked around in circles..which is what I did most of my trip. I did spent sometime in the evenings just hanging around the Crossing....It was fasinating to watch.....I was finding it hard to believe I was actually there rather than just watching it on Webcams which I have done for years...I could have done so much more during my 3 week trip if I only had a little more self confidence...or travel companion.
I would be the completely same in other countries as I feel intimidated. I think you did enough for being yourself and there is something you miss if you are with someone else or in a group. Did you go to Shikoku and Kyushu? Thank you for sharing. :)
@@tokyokenchan I visited Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo of course. I did want to visit Shimonada Station in Shikoku.But it was a little out of the way for me. The trip was kind up created in a rush and I am not very good at organization. I was amazed I even managed to get to Japan let alone see anything of it..hehe.
@@tokyokenchan When in Tokyo, I stayed in Shibuya, Ariake, Ueno and Kanda. Locations chosen were because it was a bit of a "pilgrimage" in honour of the band I had gone to Japan to see, BAND-MAID. Whom I saw LIVE at Tokyo Garden Theater.
I was at the Shibuya station and saw a man in a blindfold with white hair fighting pure air and killing some weird type of humans, and also there was this black dome keeping us inside Shibuya for some reason but besides that my experience there is great

A timely video for me!! Thank you. I will go to Japan several days later. Thank you very much.
I feel like you could spend days in Shibuya and you still won't get bored! Awesome video as always Kenchan :D
Thank you for watching always! Haha, true. I hope you have some time to visit Shibuya. :)

This is such a great video! I love that this video has so much detail! Thank you Kechan :D

Good video man! I can't wait to visit Tokyo this July
You are visiting Tokyo next month! I wish you the best trip in Tokyo. Thank you for watching. :)
Perfect, enjoyed the video a lot. More information for my trip when I retire from work in 3 years😂
Thank you Brian san always. I'm glad you liked the video. Oh in 3 years! You have lots of time to prepare for the trip. Best of luck for your work :)
Thanks for adding the map of the places you visited in the video.
Thank you for taking a look at the map. I'll add some more places to eat on the map, after I visit them.
I'd like Shibuya, a busy city... You can see this view is similar to the situation in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur - a capital city of MALAYSIA. You can spend your time to visit the city, soon...
I don't mind this repost. I miss Tokyo. I visited in April and now I miss it so much!
That's great you enjoyed Tokyo in April! Thank you for watching. :)
Same here😢
I am in Shibuya area and thinking what else to do, this video popped up, thank you
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy Shibuya!
We don’t remember seeing a video from you about Shinjuku previously so I no problem if you reposted it. As usual a lot of good information!
Kevin san, Dayle san, thank you for watching! I posted non-edited version of this video 2 hour ago accidentally, so that's what I commented earlier. Sorry for the confusion. :)
Another great video. 👌👍
The maps with arrows, and charts like Kyuko, are very helpful.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked charts as I wasn't sure if it's necessary. 👍
Your videos are simply the best. I have always, wanted to explore each of Tokyo’s neighborhood of beyond the street level, Omotesando, Asakusa, Ueno , *Akihabara , Nihonbashi, Shinjuku, Minato. Thank you so much. You are a star.
Thank you so much for such a kind message. I really appreciate it. I hope you have a chance to explore all the areas in Tokyo.
Thank you for the information. We will be there in September. We have always loved Japan.
Thank you. I hope you have a great trip in Japan in September. :)
@@tokyokenchan it is almost impossible to not have a great trip in Japan.

Thank you for wathing this video too. :) Yes, the stairs around Parco is insteresting to go up to the roof. 👍
Thank you for your video! It helped us so much going around Tokyo! And we will continue to use your videos.
Amazing shibuya crossing. Parco overlooking deck. Is that free?... thank's soooooooo much for sharing.
Hello. Yes, the rooftop of Parco is free and you can just get on the elevator by the Koendori street or challenge to walk up the escalator/stairs around the building. :) Thank you so much for watching.

I got off at Shibuya station and only lasted about an hour. So big, crowded and overwhelming. I loved the quieter neighborhoods in Tokyo.
I understand. There are lots of different neighborhoods in Tokyo. :) I live not far from Shibuya but I try not to visit on weekends.
Hey great video! This was very helpful as I am planning to visit Shibuya Tokyo. Do you know what months are the best times to visit?
Thank you! I think anytime is good for Shibuya, but I like when greens are out or autumn. April to May is the best, followed by Autumn. 👍
Thank you for including vegan restaurants!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you liked the vegan restaurants part!

Shinjuku is bigger and more focus on entertainment area like Kabukicho, while Shibuya is a little more relaxed with parks and shopping streets.

I was at the Shibuya station and saw a man in a blindfold with white hair fighting pure air and killing some weird type of humans, and also there was this black dome keeping us inside Shibuya for some reason but besides that my experience there is great
I was there too, i saw them too and all my family member except me dead
