About two weeks after you biked the Yamanote line, my girlfriend and I walked it on the last day of our trip to Tokyo. Took us 12 hours and it was awesome. I thought it was about 42 km long... We started and finished at Ueno Station, going in the opposite direction you went in. Can't wait to visit Tokyo again.
Just found this video a couple of days ago and today I was able to visit some of these stations on my 1st trip to Japan. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated.
I've only watched the first five minutes of this video and I'm already loving it! Great job showing things about Tokyo that don't normally get featured.
Memories came running to my mind with these amazing places you visited, like Shibuya, Ikebukoru, Yurakucho. Had a great time myself there earlier this year. Keep making long videos punctuated with random madness that you guys are good at! Cheers :}
Thanks you guys for your wonderful videos. Your videos are 1 of the small enjoyments I get, and every time I see them I wish I could be there enjoying the sights and sounds(and food of course) of Japan
What a wonderful view into Tokyo. You two are so good at this and it is a pleasure to view your great, sweet adventures. Keep it up. You are appreciated!
There is nothing like coming home from a 5h car drive, after moving out of a college dorm room, and seeing a video from you two. Perfect way to relax! I'd also like to say "Sup guuuuurrrrllll"
We really enjoyed this video, and appreciated your effort. We were in Tokyo for the first week of April. After watching this video, we felt like we were in Tokyo again since we did not have a chance to get to all stations. Again thank you so much for sharing. Always enjoy your videos. Keep up with the good work and take care.
I think I've finally watched all the videos ! Achievement unlocked! Sad though because I love these vids. Feel like you guys are good friends after spending all these "virtual" hours together lol. Keep up the great videos guys.
That was awesome. Definitely one of my favorite videos so far ! Doing that is on my TODO list someday, great idea. I loved how you guys manage to give interesting facts on each station. And regarding the big nameless building, I had exactly the same thought when we walked past it.
It's a little surreal to watch through old videos, then these new ones, and realize you've been making these for over 5 years. It's almost like we (the viewers) have got to watch you two grow your life together and it's really cool. I hope you're still making these in 2019.
dillon keene Wow, I never thought about how you can watch the progression of us as people via the videos, which is funny as it's so obvious. I have felt that way about some people (musicians usually, Jeff Rosenstock comes to mind) in the past and always enjoyed it, hope you enjoy that aspect of watching us! -Eric
Thanks for your great video! I don't know if anyone else did the same thing before, but you made the best work. I am enjoying your bike trip a lot. By the way, that bear and panda drawn by the elder are amazing!
Excellent video as always, guys! 43:48 Yes, it's the theme music to the movie "The Third Man" made in 1949, and known as "the Yebisu Beer commercial music". From one of the best movies of that genre ever made, it won the Grand Prize at the 1949 Cannes Film Festival, the British Academy Award for Best Film, and an Academy Award for Best Black and White Cinematography in 1950. It's about a writer whose friend invites him to post-WW II Vienna. The friend dies in an accident of suspicious circumstance, and the main character then sets out to find out what really happened to his friend. Definitely worth a viewing particularly by fans of mystery movies.
Loved this video... I just can't get enough of ur videos and u two.. Love seeing all the travel videos that u have posted . Also how many countries have u guys been too 😊
Your channel has been more binge-able than "Friday Night Lights" and is funnier than "Making a Murderer." The past few weeks I have been up way past my bedtime, laughing at Eric getting ice cream brainfreeze, and crying when Kyde sees Kumamon. I will be going to Japan in March for a couple weeks and your Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo videos have provided me with more useful information than any top ten list or guidebook could ever provide. I loved this video because I'll be staying near Shinjuku station and pretty much have a good idea of how to navigate where I want to go in the city now. Thanks! I just pledged to your Patreon today and hope you continue to be inspired to eat and adventure!
+Andy Chang Hi Andy! Thanks so much for the kind words! I love that you have enjoyed our videos so much, and doubly love you have found them actually helpful in planning your own adventure to Japan! Also, thanks a lot for becoming a patron of ours! That helps us immensely and is a huge part of the reason we are able to keep making videos! By the way, this document we have might also help a bit in finding some things to do, especially in Tokyo. docs.google.com/document/d/1DOUoFuDJ9I7hTIUCFkyAdnY_Q2jvZ-c84bezj8PyuPU/edit -Eric
+Farin Lindley Haha, glad you are enjoying so many of our videos! That'S wonderful to hear. We wrote that document together...but I'm OK with her voice being the one you heard! Haha. -E
I've really been enjoying like all these videos, they are nice to just watch! The brief second of Akihabara made me so jealous. I wanna go there so badly! Anyways I love these videos, Keep it up!
Japan = Trains arrive every two-to-five minutes on time and are super fast. UK = Trains are ALWAYS late or delayed, slow, and if say a signal glitches out, the entire thing is cancelled or delayed by two hours. Fun, fun, fun.
I can't express how happy I am to see this! A good part of the experience of Tokyo was seen through the Yamanote Line for me. I've always regretted not walking the entire line but one of my friends who went drinking walked a good 2/3 of the line when the line went down and he said it was a very enjoyable experience. And I can confirm that I've never waited more than two minutes for a train and the other awesome part, it doesn't matter which direction you take, you'll eventually get there! Have you been to the zoo at Ueno? Saw a rhino have the most epic pee ever. I'm just blabbing now lol. I can't express how much I LOVE this video!! Thanks for sharing!!
I will take the 5 minute and 2 minute wait time anyday over the MBTA here in Boston. Still amazes me how fast and efficient public transportation in Japan is. Their schedule are accurate. Each station looks unique and lol the duck butt in the hut.
I had lived in Tokyo over 10 years, but I didn't know some of the information you provided in this video. I never noticed the sound of some stations are different. I used live in the area Komagome, Sugamo, Otsuka, so I know them very well. Regarding the bar/drinking/restaurant areas in Kanda, Yurakucho, Shinbashi, I think these are basically similar to the "Golden-gai" in Shinjuku. Now Golden-gai is one of biggest foreign tourist attraction places, but the foreign tourists don't know these ares in Kanda, Yurakucho, Shinbashi areas.
I think this is my fave video from you guys so far. I've used the Yamanote line since my first trip to Japan and have visited many of the stations you guys showed. I stayed near Ueno station last March on my vacation and love the area. I agree with Eric's description of "good gritty". BTW, your mystery building is the NTT Docomo Building. Love its look too.
What a great video!! We live in Atlanta but my wife is from Tokyo and I have rode the Yamanote line countless times in the last ten years!! Funny we were married in a Temple off of the Osaki Station that had no sign LOL!! That station is very special to my wife and I!! Keep the great videos coming. I will also support your Paetreon page as well!! I really enjoy you guys and the next time my wife and I are in Tokyo visiting family would love to take you guys out for dinner!! Take Care and keep the videos Coming!!
Kyde and Eric LOL!! As many times as I've been there I didn't notice!! I just know where to get off and didn't pay attention to the signs!! My wife said she never paid attention to that either!! LOL!! That's why you guys are there and we watch!! Thanks for the response!! Dinner is still on us!!
I really enjoyed this. The Yamanote Line is a favourite of mine. I had hoped you'd show more of the places BETWEEN the stations. Maybe that's another video.
Enjoyed your RUclips video, my husband has been to Nagoya to visit his son (been in Nagoya 10 years) good base to explore Japan, safest country to visit, Respect is part of Japanese culture, low crime rate etc., reasonably short trip from Brisbane, Australia ! ! !
We were staying in a hotel near by Naria Airport three weeks ago (just one night to catch a connecting the flight next day). We walked to 7-11 that's about a mile and half away from our hotel just because you guys showed all kind of food you can get from there. They are different than what we have here in States. We were not disappointed with the dinners and snacks we got from there (yes, the lady at the counter heated the food for us). I'm really glad we didn't eat the hotel food (there is nothing wrong with it). We are from Virginia (McLean), also!
We've just learnt hiragana so we are trying to translate all of the signs in the vid. When we got to the sugamo bit we were like 'oshiri?!! that can't be right' lol then we listened to erics explanation haha love it!!
Well done. Your next challenge is the walk the full length of the Tokaido Highway.... Looking forward to that video. BTW, that tramline is from memory the only tramline left in Tokyo. You can see more extensive networks in places like Hiroshima and Kyoto.
Amazing post, really enjoyable! Thanks for your hard work guys! Next time you are near Nippori eki check out Yanaka, lovely big cemetery area and lots of little temples/shrines and old buildings (it managed to escape a lot of firebombing during the war)
I spent the whole time watching this like "I've been there!", "I remember that!" And "Just round the corner from there is _insert rad place name_!". Thanks for the mad memory jogs, yo! 😄
Thank you for the great video! For example, you have another small "streetcar" tram between Kyoudou (Setagayaku-Akadutumi) and Shimotakaido, very old like, a 1950's tram, slow, nice.
I was expecting sweat, blood and tears at the end of this video, but I guess making a brief stop at every station helped in a way! That little adventure seem so fun I would like to try it some day!
i thoroughly enjoyed our bike ride thru the 20'ish miles of the yamanote line guyz!! Thanks!! ALWAYS great fun exploring the sites, sounds, scenes,foods, history and ambience of what your "home city" has to offer....great delight swaggering with ya as ALWAYS !! ....... though my butt & knees do feel a bit achy, maybe next time imma opt for a mountain bike with bigger wheels and comfier seats ;-).
oh really?? i thought you and kyde get to biking often as i remember you guys rode more in your early years teaching and living in japan....i remember kyde had to borrow a coworkers bike as you saw her off on her first day at work and you went and bought an unfolding bike as you cruised around town.....but i guess you guys have progressed to the JR rail and car rentals to get about most of tokyo......
The descriptive vignettes are really useful for understanding (a little bit) the neighborhoods in which the stations are located. The tower at Yoyogi Eki is Docomo Tower (a wireless provider), but you probably already know that by now. It is modeled on the Empire State Building, but not a clone.
I love trains! And wow, that duck mascot has got to be the strangest and cutest thing ever. I wish we'd do more fun things like that in the U.S.! I think it would make everyone's daily commute a bit more pleasant!
One-stroke drawing guy is either God or rainman. Do you realize he not only did the drawing but also wrote the word "bear" both backwards and upside down (from his reference point) in English and cursive? I still read katakana like a retarded infant, let alone knowing any kanji or hiragana, and my handwriting is worse than a doctor's. Dogs dragging their behinds on a carpet leave skid-marks that are more intelligible as writing than anything I've ever created with pen and paper.
I wish I had known you guys were so close to otsuka station when I was there. I stayed in the manga cafe just off to your right (video right) and ate some onigiri for breakfast when there was an earthquake while I was hungover. Cheers.
I was at one or two of those places during my week in Japan (2015? let's see= that makes it 22 years ago this summer). Amazing place! I'll have to remember Eric's Shoe Stop, started with a 5 character. By the way, I just got a new 3 mil full wetsuit, turns out 5XL fit me pretty well (6'7"+ and around 290'ish. -from seavenger- just in case ya'll start playing in the ocean more/ although over there you may be able to get a custom one more affordably than here.
Amazing video! I watched the whole thing haha, but now they are building a 30th station on the Yamanote line, hopefully you'll also make a video about it! :D
Just catching up on your vids now guys !!!!! We were in Ginza , asakusa , uneo , shinjuku just few days ago !!!! P,s I can eat most things in Japan just natto smell gets me all the time !!!!!
oh my! the bear-drawing was sooooo cool!!!
He even wrote "Bear" upside down.
The animal drawing guy was amazing!
Thanks!
Yea he was! Unreal, right? -E
About two weeks after you biked the Yamanote line, my girlfriend and I walked it on the last day of our trip to Tokyo. Took us 12 hours and it was awesome. I thought it was about 42 km long... We started and finished at Ueno Station, going in the opposite direction you went in. Can't wait to visit Tokyo again.
Yikes, I walked it once with a friend. Waaaaay more difficult than riding a bike, hahahaha. -E
Happy Friday to me! Nothing like a new vid by two of my fav vloggers...you ROCK!

Connor McDuffie Yea, if the weather is good it's highly recommended! -Eric
Neat video guys! The futurama reference brought back too many feels. I learned a lot & the background people watching was pretty excellent. Cheers!
Pretzelcrumbs Glad you liked it! That Futurama episode fucks me up too! -Eric
If I ever have to make myself cry in a situation I will just shut my eyes and flip the brain catalog to that damn episode!! Brutal!
Yahoooo!!!

Wei Jiang Thanks! Yea, that man was amazing! -Eric

Glad you enjoyed! -E

Amazing ! You are tough. Thank you for posting a nice video I have never seen.

Please do a "Kyde eats everything for a week". I really loved Eric's :)

Rosa Milian Awesome! -Eric
Your channel has been more binge-able than "Friday Night Lights" and is funnier than "Making a Murderer." The past few weeks I have been up way past my bedtime, laughing at Eric getting ice cream brainfreeze, and crying when Kyde sees Kumamon. I will be going to Japan in March for a couple weeks and your Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo videos have provided me with more useful information than any top ten list or guidebook could ever provide.
I loved this video because I'll be staying near Shinjuku station and pretty much have a good idea of how to navigate where I want to go in the city now. Thanks!
I just pledged to your Patreon today and hope you continue to be inspired to eat and adventure!

+Farin Lindley Haha, glad you are enjoying so many of our videos! That'S wonderful to hear. We wrote that document together...but I'm OK with her voice being the one you heard! Haha. -E

This is great!!
Your videos make me want to go to Japan right now!
Well done! It's a great idea for my next trip to Tokyo!
Sergio Lorenzi Yea, it's a fun trip! Walking is possible too, but way more difficult. -Eric
I've really been enjoying like all these videos, they are nice to just watch! The brief second of Akihabara made me so jealous. I wanna go there so badly! Anyways I love these videos, Keep it up!
+Hatsune Miku Haha, thanks! Akihabara is a cool place for sure! -Eric
Japan = Trains arrive every two-to-five minutes on time and are super fast.
UK = Trains are ALWAYS late or delayed, slow, and if say a signal glitches out, the entire thing is cancelled or delayed by two hours. Fun, fun, fun.
In America there isn't even trains
Evilgidgit4Ever Haha, one time we were in India and a train was 9 hours late. Don't feel too bad! -Eric
MrBannnnnny Hahahaa. -Eric
I can't express how happy I am to see this! A good part of the experience of Tokyo was seen through the Yamanote Line for me.

Woohoo! Now I know how I am spending part of my Friday night!!
Bawden Vlogs You'll be caressing Sugamon's butt?

ikaruseijin01 Hahahaha. -Eric
I really enjoyed this. The Yamanote Line is a favourite of mine. I had hoped you'd show more of the places BETWEEN the stations. Maybe that's another video.
Peter Foss Yea, we hope to do some videos focusing on the different neighborhoods at some point. -Eric
love ur videos, keep the good work
from Portugal :)
Diogo Rodriguez Thank you! -Eric
when I first visited Japan in 1999, I stayed with a friend off the Komagome stop!
Excellent video, really enjoyed it. Congratulations.
Elxploited Thanks! -Eric
Awesome little trip
Tomas lima It was fun for sure! -Eric
Enjoyed your RUclips video, my husband has been to Nagoya to visit his son (been in Nagoya 10 years) good base to explore Japan, safest country to visit, Respect is part of Japanese culture, low crime rate etc., reasonably short trip from Brisbane, Australia ! ! !
We were staying in a hotel near by Naria Airport three weeks ago (just one night to catch a connecting the flight next day).

MrSthuw115 Nice! Glad you got to check out the 7-11 food! It's so much better than back in Va! -Eric
We've just learnt hiragana so we are trying to translate all of the signs in the vid. When we got to the sugamo bit we were like 'oshiri?!! that can't be right' lol then we listened to erics explanation haha love it!!
You guys are always having the most fun :D
I want to hang out with you guys!
Tom Ato Haha, thanks! -Eric
Well done. Your next challenge is the walk the full length of the Tokaido Highway.... Looking forward to that video. BTW, that tramline is from memory the only tramline left in Tokyo. You can see more extensive networks in places like Hiroshima and Kyoto.
Thank you!
Ingsord You are welcome! -Eric
Amazing post, really enjoyable! Thanks for your hard work guys!
Next time you are near Nippori eki check out Yanaka, lovely big cemetery area and lots of little temples/shrines and old buildings (it managed to escape a lot of firebombing during the war)
romepaysoff Oh, I think we have wandered through there in the past actually! Lovely area! -Eric
When I visited Tokyo I got lost in that station lol it was awesome.
this is cool because at the end it's night & saturday so the lights go on & it's pretty wicked
It's amazing how I kept saying "just one more", but ended up watching it all in one sitting.
aletoledo1 Hahahaa. Nice. -Eric
I spent the whole time watching this like "I've been there!", "I remember that!" And "Just round the corner from there is _insert rad place name_!". Thanks for the mad memory jogs, yo! 😄
Emma Hallows Awesome! You are welcome! -Eric
Wow so impressive, that trip would have definitely killed me off! Very interesting video too, well done ^_^
Beffinee It wasn't too hard! Glad you enjoyed! -Eric
Thank you for the great video! For example, you have another small "streetcar" tram between Kyoudou (Setagayaku-Akadutumi) and Shimotakaido, very old like, a 1950's tram, slow, nice.
Oh neat! Didn't know there was still another street car system in Tokyo! Thanks! -E
What charming young people! I just love their enthusiasm. At 74 I really enjoy that. They are not the "jaded" Americans.
+Michael Sittig Thank you so much!! Glad you found us! -Eric
I was expecting sweat, blood and tears at the end of this video, but I guess making a brief stop at every station helped in a way!
That little adventure seem so fun I would like to try it some day!
Ricardo Llamas Yea, it's not too bad on bike, but when I walked it that was pretty hardcore for me. -Eric
I bet, 30 something km is a lot. I do like 8 - 10 km a day and I end up exhausted!
i thoroughly enjoyed our bike ride thru the 20'ish miles of the yamanote line guyz!! Thanks!! ALWAYS great fun exploring the sites, sounds, scenes,foods, history and ambience of what your "home city" has to offer....great delight swaggering with ya as ALWAYS !! ....... though my butt & knees do feel a bit achy, maybe next time imma opt for a mountain bike with bigger wheels and comfier seats ;-).
Teddy Lieu Haha, yea, if we rode our bikes often I think we'd invest in better ones. -Eric
oh really?? i thought you and kyde get to biking often as i remember you guys rode more in your early years teaching and living in japan....i remember kyde had to borrow a coworkers bike as you saw her off on her first day at work and you went and bought an unfolding bike as you cruised around town.....but i guess you guys have progressed to the JR rail and car rentals to get about most of tokyo......
Teddy Lieu Yea, the trains in Tokyo as so good it just makes it much easier to get around that way! -Eric
I'm from the Bronx, NYC and I have to say those slices looked legit.
iTadakimAsu85 Awesome! -Eric
Loved it when you had the corgi moment!
Everyone loves a corgi moment! -E
The descriptive vignettes are really useful for understanding (a little bit) the neighborhoods in which the stations are located. The tower at Yoyogi Eki is Docomo Tower (a wireless provider), but you probably already know that by now. It is modeled on the Empire State Building, but not a clone.
Great Video. I thought about biking around the Yamanote line next times I visit Tokyo. I will have look into where I can hire a bike lol.
Nice! Shouldn't be too hard to find a rental! -E
こんにちは hello
楽しい山手線の動画を見せてくれて、ありがとう yamanote line 2015 thank you
+kwhu8223 ありがとう！-Eric
Fun and informative!
3mapletrees Thanks! -Eric
I love trains!
And wow, that duck mascot has got to be the strangest and cutest thing ever. I wish we'd do more fun things like that in the U.S.! I think it would make everyone's daily commute a bit more pleasant!
Yesica1993 Haha, I'd love to see more huge duck ass in the states too! -Eric
The drawing man in Ueno was super cool .
I have never seen such a old man .
+akio asou Yea, that guy was amazing! -Eric
One-stroke drawing guy is either God or rainman. Do you realize he not only did the drawing but also wrote the word "bear" both backwards and upside down (from his reference point) in English and cursive? I still read katakana like a retarded infant, let alone knowing any kanji or hiragana, and my handwriting is worse than a doctor's. Dogs dragging their behinds on a carpet leave skid-marks that are more intelligible as writing than anything I've ever created with pen and paper.
Oh my! That was funny , I don't mean to rude but the way you described it 😂
Joe Blow Yea dude, I watched it over and over when I edited this, it blew my mind! -Eric
Kyde and Eric I would have instantly handed over my wallet to that man and begged him to teach me.
That guy was a beast.
20:03 That man writing "bear" in cursive was pretty impressive in of itself. Not only did he write it upside down, but he also did it in reverse.
McSSJust In his second language! -Eric
I wish I had known you guys were so close to otsuka station when I was there. I stayed in the manga cafe just off to your right (video right) and ate some onigiri for breakfast when there was an earthquake while I was hungover. Cheers.
I was at one or two of those places during my week in Japan (2015? let's see= that makes it 22 years ago this summer). Amazing place! I'll have to remember Eric's Shoe Stop, started with a 5 character. By the way, I just got a new 3 mil full wetsuit, turns out 5XL fit me pretty well (6'7"+ and around 290'ish. -from seavenger- just in case ya'll start playing in the ocean more/ although over there you may be able to get a custom one more affordably than here.
Amazing video! I watched the whole thing haha, but now they are building a 30th station on the Yamanote line, hopefully you'll also make a video about it! :D
trainsforever8 Yea, neat! -Eric
Duck butt. You have officially made my day. XD
Mike The Gamer Haha, glad that duck butt could spread joy around the world! -Eric
Just catching up on your vids now guys !!!!!
We were in Ginza , asakusa , uneo , shinjuku just few days ago !!!!
P,s I can eat most things in Japan just natto smell gets me all the time !!!!!
Nice adventure. I never knew that about the train stations.
Mrkingreview1 Glad you enjoyed! -Eric
Hahah, you guys sounded like densha otakus, but it was fun! Hope you guys had as much fun as I had watching.
crossout9 We are a bit of densha otakus for sure! Trains are awesome. -Eric
Loved this video, one of the best. Eric I know what you mean about the shoes, I have the same problem. Thanks for all your
Vids
PR Martin Yea, it's easier to shop for shoes in Tokyo than it is in America for me! Crazy. -Eric
Still a great video after all these years. Maybe you can do a retro ride once things open up again.
Le Mangina... what? *adjusts earphones* Oh... lemon-gina.
ikaruseijin01 Hahaha. -Eric
