I read somewhere that the Kuma cafe employs folks who would have trouble finding employment elsewhere due to social anxiety or disability! So I think that is lovely.
Big smile on my face even before watchin this. Remembering Your old videos from Years ago when I prepared for my first journey to Japan. It was so much fun ❤🗼⛩
Please continue to make these updated vlogs. So much has changed since Covid put a stop to Japan travel for most of us. As we plan to return this is a great resource thank you!
I'd avoid the shiba cafe tbh. I'd actually avoid any animal cafe. I always ALWAYS do my research before going to any animal related location in Japan and it came as no surprise that many of the reviews express concern for the welfare of the dogs. They're exhausted, sometimes appearing sedated, and the space isn't big enough for them. You can get your daily dose of cuteness in other ways elsewhere.
@@kath8949 I'm ashamed to say that's originally how I learned my lesson. From the outside it looked like we found a "safe" cat cafe. We left after maybe five minutes wanting to cry 😞
@@itsrainingcatsanddogs2651 maybe different country and different cultures…? I‘ve heard a lot bad, not justified things about animal cafes worldwide, would never ever go to any and support such type of animal husbandry, but there may be places out there who actually care and take care about them
Thanks for the video Kim, I’ve been to Takeshita at twice, and have done a few of the things you showed, but there were some I hadn’t seen. So Thankyou for the inspo . ❤
This is super useful breaking down and showing a variety of places. This looks like a really useful spot for going with friends, because we could meet at specific times for mutual reservations but also split off in between to explore parts that are more to our specific interests.
THIS IS THE BEST GUIDE IVE FOUND SO FAR! I got sooooo many stops out of this video. Thank you! I go to Japan in 2 months so I’m excited to visit some of these spots 🤍🤍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice to meet you, Takeru. How is your trip to Japan? I think I ate a lot of delicious food, but my recommended dish is tonkotsu ramen. okonomiyaki. tonkatsu. gyudon. katsudon. yakisoba. soba. Yakiniku. Try it if you have the chance! Have a nice trip☆
I'm taking notes from this travel tip video! 📝 Btw, have you heard about the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? It seems like a must-have for adventurers like you! 🌏🌴
hello Kim. Can you make a video where to get music instruments in Tokyo? where to buy pianos? where to buys sheet music? is there a district for musical supplies?
This was so informative 👍 and so well filmed . I love reading and hearing about the Meiji period so I really liked this 👌 💞 . It's really your element 😉
Kim, eating all that Cotton Candy, can you say Sugar Rush lol? Japan has the best Gatcha. I wish ours here in the U.S. were that awesome. I really liked the part with the dogs. They were really cute. Bonus points to the one wearing the Jack-o'-lantern thing. I love jack-o'-lanterns so that dog rocks :)
hi kim ! thank you for making this wonderful travel guide ! i just wanted to ask how long did you explore takeshita street, harajuku street, and cat street in one day ??
Overall really nice video and I had no idea about the Samsung Galaxy x TeamLab exhibition - definitely wanna go check it out! I just don't understand why you, like so many other people, keep recommending Takeshita Dori. That street has turned into a soulless tourist trap. It's always overcrowded and there's not much there that you wouldn't be able to get in a hundred other places elsewhere in Tokyo. I specifically advise all my friends against going there when they come visit Tokyo.
Your videos are so well made!! Could you please do a video about solo photography tips in Japan please 🙏🏼 I will be travelling by myself in September so would love some tips and tricks before I go
where exactly are the gachapon machines? i didnt understand what you said in the video. the address in the video also doesnt lead to a gachapon place in google maps
Hi Kim, we're going to Tokyo in the middle of October and I haven't been to Japan at that time yet. Would you be able to tell me what you think the weather would be like? Hot? Cold? Thank you!
FYI there is no such thing as 'micro pigs'. They will all grow up to be full sized pigs. They will keep the pigs there until they get too big and who knows what happens to the animals then? Please don't support these types of cafes. Thanks
You should be very suspicious of anywhere that has baby animals. Animals grow older and get bigger. What do you think happens to the ones that get too big? Yup, off to the slaughterhouse.
What? dogs prisoners in a room and everyone put his hand and bother the poor amimals? I'am sorry, i love you and respect you for years, but this in europpe cauled animal abuse!
Everything looks amazing but, DON'T SUPPORT ANIMAL CAFES, most animals don't like to be there interacting with a lot of people, they suffer from stress and anxiety :(
It's summer now so people are most likely wearing masks to either preventing the spread of disease or avoid catching disease. I hear some women wear a mask to avoid being seen without makeup.
Kim, thank you for making the 2023 version. Please do more of another area 🥰 I love you ❤
I read somewhere that the Kuma cafe employs folks who would have trouble finding employment elsewhere due to social anxiety or disability! So I think that is lovely.
Oh I didn’t know that, that’s great!
First time we walked to Meiji Shrine it was snowing lightly..such a lovely stroll
The little baby 🐷 are so cute… will visit next time

What great timing! I’m going to Tokyo in October 😊
That's great!! Hope it helps you!!
Im going to Tokyo & Yokohama area in March 2024 for 25 days. This video makes me even more excited, thank you
"the building was designed by an architect." yes, yes it was.
thank you for this video. will be great source when I go in October
Im glad it helped!
Great video Kim, the cotton candy ice cream looked AMAZING
Tokyo harajuku is a cool and fun place to enjoy Japan.👍

Went to one without researching and had the same experience as the reviews you saw. It was very unnerving and disheartening.

@@bumblebee007 dogs started to actually fight when I went and it also left my friend and I wanting to cry 🥲
Cat cafes in Germany a great. The cats seem very happy.

Literally leaving for Japan in two days and staying in Shinjuku :’) this is perfect!!!
Awesome vlog thumb up
Japan trip. Let's go to Japan soon! toko channel
Thanks for the video Kim, I’ve been to Takeshita at twice, and have done a few of the things you showed, but there were some I hadn’t seen. So Thankyou for the inspo . ❤
Hi Kim, thank you for the new video. It has given us so many ideas for our trip in October, especially the TeamLabs and Samsung collab
Thia ia amazing thank. you! We are going to Tokyo next year!! this is so helpful!
This is super useful breaking down and showing a variety of places. This looks like a really useful spot for going with friends, because we could meet at specific times for mutual reservations but also split off in between to explore parts that are more to our specific interests.
This is sick, didn’t need to plan it. This will be my to do list for the day when I’m in Harijiku.
Very nice... Watching from Bangladesh
great video! i like how your recommendations are specific and not just street names or a temple !

I would love to see your updated 2023 fashion version of this, but I understand you do most of your shopping online now due to crowds?
Ahh yeah I don’t really shop in Japan anymore. Been trying to cut down on the things I have haha
I'm having a wedding at meiji in 3 weeks!
Yay Kimi is back!!!!!
Was hat overlap at the beginning an Easter egg ?? Why isn’t anyone addressing it ??
Hey kimdao, I always really love ur videos....
Short,simple ,nicely edited.
hello Kim. Can you make a video where to get music instruments in Tokyo? where to buy pianos? where to buys sheet music? is there a district for musical supplies?
yeah I wonder where to buy sheet music in Japan..?
the music shopping district is mainly found along Meidai Dori
Oh Kimdao! I remember you - you're still going strong!
I'd love to go to the bear cafe!
look at the cute hair accessories.
I love your Austraaaaalian Accent !!!!
Your outfit is really cute!
What’s the dessert you’re having in cat street with the strawberries?
I really really miss your clothing haul videos. Yesstyle in particular😭
The Peanuts Cafe looks like fun! 😊
Where is the cafe in 5:50? That parfait looks SO good
This was so informative 👍 and so well filmed . I love reading and hearing about the Meiji period so I really liked this 👌 💞 . It's really your element 😉
Woww coming back to your videos and now you're living in Japan! I have a lot of videos to catch up on ^_^
when i was six or seven i watched a nick jr show based on this fashion (kuu kuu haraujuku)
what is the dessert place at cat street? it looks so good!
What‘s the name of the café at 5:50?? That looks delicious!!😍
I would like to know it too!
I'm still waiting 💀
Kim, eating all that Cotton Candy, can you say Sugar Rush lol? Japan has the best Gatcha. I wish ours here in the U.S. were that awesome. I really liked the part with the dogs. They were really cute. Bonus points to the one wearing the Jack-o'-lantern thing. I love jack-o'-lanterns so that dog rocks :)
hi kim ! thank you for making this wonderful travel guide ! i just wanted to ask how long did you explore takeshita street, harajuku street, and cat street in one day ??
You didnt asked me but I was there few days ago. I started at 11 AM and finished at 18PM with much shopping 😊
Thanks
Wow you were there for the iceposeidon pepper spray?

Does anyone know the name of the cafe serving the delicious looking string ice cream on puff pastry at 5:51 of this video??
Thank u
The lovely, posh Kim. :D
where exactly are the gachapon machines? i didnt understand what you said in the video. the address in the video also doesnt lead to a gachapon place in google maps
good travel
Would love time stamps if possible :D
Ahh I'll try do them soon!
For a small person, Kim can really eat. Food challenge video?
❤❤❤
Is the catcafe mocha still open?
Hi Kim, we're going to Tokyo in the middle of October and I haven't been to Japan at that time yet. Would you be able to tell me what you think the weather would be like? Hot? Cold? Thank you!
Oct would be around 15-22C. Best time to visit Japan in my opinion.
My 7 year old daughter loved this and said to look like her favorite anime Nezuko
Kim did you just call a Grilled Chees toast how Australian of you lol
Hahaha
Hello, and thank you for this vid. Are you considering doing a further one that concentrates on Harajuku’s vintage/second hand shops FOR MEN?
❤
I Love you Du bist so süß ❤❤
Hii are there kpop shops selling kpop cards in harajuku street?
Or tell the other tourist to go outside the city soni can enjoy it more. It's too crowded
Are these old videos? Its super hot in Tokyo and you are wearing a coat/sweater?😣
All my videos take a while to film/edit since I like to compile a lot of things together
FYI there is no such thing as 'micro pigs'. They will all grow up to be full sized pigs. They will keep the pigs there until they get too big and who knows what happens to the animals then?
Please don't support these types of cafes.
Thanks
It just adds to the food supply. They're so cute!
sugar overdose
Hi H w u 🥰🥰🥰🥰
U yummie 😊
You should be very suspicious of anywhere that has baby animals. Animals grow older and get bigger. What do you think happens to the ones that get too big? Yup, off to the slaughterhouse.
It's called food. I love bacon, pork sausages, cha shu in ramen, tonkotsu broth, and pork belly! Yummy!
What? dogs prisoners in a room and everyone put his hand and bother the poor amimals? I'am sorry, i love you and respect you for years, but this in europpe cauled animal abuse!
The dogs are soooo cute! You shouldn't go there then. More for the rest of us. Thanks!
They take care of the animals . They aren’t in pain . Ur just stupid
Everything looks amazing but, DON'T SUPPORT ANIMAL CAFES, most animals don't like to be there interacting with a lot of people, they suffer from stress and anxiety :(
Why people wearing masks?
It's summer now so people are most likely wearing masks to either preventing the spread of disease or avoid catching disease. I hear some women wear a mask to avoid being seen without makeup.
To keep their germs to themselves
Why people still wearing a self harming mask in Japan?
