    Thank you Kengo San! Your maps and explanations are really useful for our trip to Tokyo next year. As usual we will be studying your videos before we go next year. In addition your videos are entertaining so we can just watch a few times to internalize the information while enjoying your videos. A fun way to learn!

    Hey Kengo San! Just returned from my Japan trip. Thank you for your videos.
    In fact, the Tokyo metro was a bit confusing lol. The jet lag made it even worse. We went to Pokemon center, cafe, Sensoji temple, Tsukiji market, Akihabara gigo etc.
    Kyoto was definitely a lot better than Tokyo in my opinion. Lots of temples and sightseeing.
    Nara was 100% my favorite!! Although it’s only a day trip, we did not once regret it. Nara park itself is huge and full of history. *hide the deer crackers…*
    In Osaka, we went to universal studios but the lines were super long (1 hr~ per ride). We unfortunately enjoyed Osaka the least. It’s full of shopping places and crowds…
    And we learned a lot from your Shinkansen video! Definitely an experience.
    One thing I wished I knew before going to Japan is that most local places in Kyoto is cash only lol

    Great video. I will say the Sunshine 60 is a hidden gem. It doesn't have the hype of Shibuya Sky but a) its higher, and b) youre not in the elements getting whipped around or subject to random non-refundable weather cancelations. Also, almost no lines. We saw TDR fireworks clearly from there at night.

    • @tokyokenchan
      @tokyokenchan  19 дней назад

      Thank you! Oh wow, TDR fireworks must be quite far from Ikebukuro. It must have been very clear day. Yes Shibuya Sky started to refund for cancellation with 20% fee, but it's still great that we can drop by Sunshine 60 with no pressure or stress for 700 Yen - 1200 Yen.

    Kenchan, in the old days there were more streetcars. I'm from Yokohama as a child now in Hawaii. I see Ikebukuro has streetcar "densha". Is there other places in Tokyo that has densha? Or only in Ikebukuro?

      Yes, this is the only one remains in Tokyo now. It's running behind Sunshine City and connecting down town area and Waseda, and area near Shinjuku. :)

      Likely "cream soda" which in Japan is actually an ice cream float using melon soda. Melon soda is a little bit of an acquired taste but it's also the best soda in the world, maybe. I order it anywhere that offers it. The fanta version is best IMO. Ramune is fine but expensive for amount. Suntory is passable.
      Some try to be "cream soda" flavor but I don't think they taste right- the deliciousness of a "cream soda" is in the difference between the creamy ice cream and the sharp sweetness of the melon soda. Drinking "cream soda" soda just tastes like you've let your cream soda melt. Straight melon soda or a "cream soda" are best I think.

Please suggest a reasonable cheap yet clean hotel. Outskirts of Tokyo also will do. Our plan is to stay at Tokyo, Hokkaido, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima and explore nearby places. Will you please make an rough Itenery for us?
