Japan is just...better, in so many different ways. I agree with your comment, its one of my favourite things about the culture and its people. It encourages everybody to raise their game and just be their best Self. I don't really know of any other country that impresses people enough to prompt that effort. Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful video. Todoroki Ravine is notoriously difficult to photograph well. The lighting is extremely challenging and most people's travel photos end up looking very high contrast and burnt out at the same time, just flat with no depth. This video is LUSH. Thank you.
Everything is beautiful and clean! I love the small roads, the little shops everywhere and the bits of nature all throughout the city. As an American, I find Japan fascinating
From the UK, and I too find it beguiling and deeply compelling a country. I bet you're like me, in that you simply cannot wait for this Covid business to burn itself out so you can start planning your next trip to Japan. :)
Thank you so much for these videos. My dad, mom and I love watching them together. My dad has been to Japan many times for business so it’s been a bonding experience for us.
Come on 😥 One second you were just casually walking on a side walk then a random descent on your right and then boom. You're in a wonderfully enchanting place 😭 that place look so majestic 💙
One of the most magical things about Tokyo is how completely quiet some of these hidden spots are, even being in the middle of this huge, bustling, densely populated metropolis. Togo Shrine right near Cat Street & Takeshita Dori in Harajuki is almost completely silent. It's amazing because if you walk for a few minutes in one direction you'll be walking in a colourful crowd shoulder-to-shoulder with teenagers and tourists, and if you walk in the other, you get to a busy main road and intersection. How these little 'pockets of green paradise' manage to remain so peaceful and silent is astonishing. A magic city. :)
Amazing! Especially in this pandemic, I sincerely appreciate your time and energy into making this. We do not plan to travel for a very long time and videos like yours is the next best thing to being there. The only thing that would make it better is those 360 degree virtual tour camera which would enable the viewer to turn the camera around as you walk. Still a wonderful series!
I loved the ravine! I was so surprised to see natural springs with water still bubbling up from the ground. Love the video, brought back lots of good memories!
Finally got to watch this. I got the notification for the premiere but I just finished work. I got called in to work for 5 hrs today after almost 1 month off (still technically off but we get called in when work is available...rare without tourists though). Watching and listening to this helped me relaxed. Adding this to my list of places to see whenever I can visit Tokyo/Japan in the future.
Tokyo Explorer, my fellow walker, it is a truly glorious thing to be presented with this opportunity to witness fully the scenics of your channel and Tokyo city in Japan country. I hope you walk for all time!
Thanks for another superb insight into the real Tokyo. they certainly like the German cars don't they! Plus the odd Volvo or two :) That ravine is such a tranquil environment. If I was a bit younger I would visit Tokyo, too old and not mobile enough now, but your videos mean I can see virtually what I can't see in reality.
Todoroki Ravine is really close to Todoroki station of the Oimachi line. I once had a friend living just next to the ravine park, so I went there quite often.
Att man alltid missar dina videor är synd men alltid kul att titta på när man kommer hem :) fortsätt med dessa härliga videor, de får mig att längta tillbaka ;)
Well, guess I'll go have to check this out in person after seeing it digitally twice now. Good stuff as always. Enjoyed the audio quallity of the water. Additionally slowly going up the stairs around 14:00 mark was pleasant.
Thank you for this video,it seems like I am there walking by myself even though I'm across the world in hot Croatia(when you walked down the stairs it looked so refreshing ) .My dream is to visit Japan especially Kyoto and film it in this way so I can look at it for all eternity.
I had some amazing sushi at a sushi restaurant in the town with my closest friend from Tokyo. Then she and I had a lovely walk through the valley right down to the Tama river and then back up through the back streets. This was in 2017. Just a pity the valley isn't longer! Great place.
Nice, been wanting to go there for a while, I'm going to have to when this rain stops. If you haven't been there/filmed there, I suggest giving Kita Ku/Itabashi Ku some light - specifically walking from Oji/Asukayama along the Shakujii River towards Naka Itabashi - or vice versa (it all makes sense if checking google maps). It's not quite the same level of peaceful/nature as Todoroki but still pretty nice, and definitely awesome at sakura time.
Man, I bet this place would be incredible at night with all those lanterns lining the path near the temple! Thank you for highlighting this location - it's going on the list of places to try visiting next trip. As of right now that's February, but we'll see if by then they're letting Americans in! 😬🤞
The todoroke valley in atodoroke valley thateven japan people do not know it is a rare please to enjoy ozone water in tokyo,,,, sannky you for the wonderful image 🌿🌱🍀🌵🌴🍃👍📹👏👏👏
Back in the 1990's I lived in Kaminoge, about 15 minutes on foot from the ravine, and would go there often. Back then there weren't many people walking through the ravine, even on weekends. However, recently Todoroki Keikoku seems to have been getting a lot of attention online. I hope 等々力渓谷 won't get overrun by the Instagrammers once tourists return to Japan.
OMG! I was in the middle of typing in the chat window but it closed automatically as soon as the video ended! 😱Anyway I enjoyed the video. Have a safe flight! 😄
Used to live in Ota/Shinagawa and when I first saw Todoroki, it really felt like a piece of silent jungle hidden in a densely populated city. Been there many times since then :)
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 I'm from the bay area of san francisco, the streets in the inner city of sf makes it look like a slum... Even the Japanese homeless are clean!
@@JW-mr5mh YES!! And y'know, I've wanted to scoff at all the videos in recent years that have emerged declaring that San Fran has a public defecation problem, however I had many experiences with human poo-poo in the streets the last time I was there :( Oh dear. In comparison, Tokyo looks like a movie set, where event the streets look vacuumed. Even though it's highly noticeable in person, this really stands out in videos and in photographs. I can't wait to return and see more of Japan. Wonderful country. Don't even get me started on London's decline...:(
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 when sf was republican (1930s to 1960s) the streets were clean. We made the golden gate Bridge during that time and the airport. Then the democrats took over in the 70s and thats what 40 years of unchecked democrat rule does to a city 😭 Look up san francisco in 1980
I just love how in Japan one minute you can be in a city and the next minute you are into nature/forest.
Exactly, I went from walking next to stores and modern buildings to being outside an old shrine within seconds!
日本は海に囲まれた島国ですからね。大陸育ちにしてみれば“なるほど“です。
I am very surprised how people can respect each other's space and comfort. And all this with a huge population density.
Japan is just...better, in so many different ways. I agree with your comment, its one of my favourite things about the culture and its people.

Grumpy Cat is this a joke?
私は等々力渓谷のある世田谷に住んでいます。大人になってからはここに訪れていませんが、子供の頃はよく遊びに行きました！動画を見ていると昔の記憶を思い出し懐かしく感じます！素晴らしい動画をありがとう！
Wow, that's so cool...
Once you go down the stairs, the scenery suddenly changes, from modern urban landscapes to forestly like environment...
For two almost two years, your videos have been the only way for foreigners to visit Tokyo. Thank you for this! Two years ago, I went running here.
このビデオを本当にありがとう！私はブラジル人で、本当に日本に感心しています。この動画を見ると、リラックスしてこの美しい国に親しむことができます。

Wonderful. Pleasant to watch peaceful. Amazing
thank you so much, it is like living in Japan, through your camera.
simply walk in Japan is entertaining already♥️
Japanese mastered blending into the nature. It's something like Feng Shui stuff when you build and live in peace with surrounding you energy
What an awesome ravine, and wow that shrine (and temple?) is an impressive space. Again, thanks for sharing this with us!
Such a wonderful place to cool down in the hot summer months! ☀️
Thanks for the video it really made me feel like I was back in Todoroki.
Everything is beautiful and clean! I love the small roads, the little shops everywhere and the bits of nature all throughout the city. As an American, I find Japan fascinating

It is a beautiful and pretty way to come out of a movie or dream.
So good.
Thank you.
Muchas gracias por grabar aqui en mexico no hay lugares tan bellos y limpios mil mil gracias y así conocemos mas 😍😍😍
WOW! That ravine is a magical place, right in the middle of To-kyo, amazing, tack så mycket!
Tokyo is the model city for the entire world!!
Super beautiful! Thanks!
Thank you for uploading such an impressive Todoroki Ravine video! Although I'm a Tokyoite, I've never been there.
Saya selalu suka melihat kota di Jepang 👍👍👍

Forgive my ignorance but I'm amazed how clean is everything; no cans or wrappers on the floor...in Spain that wouldn't be possible..sadly :P
That is what captivates my interest and admiration aa well.
Your walk into the ravine was simply beautiful. The scenery is amazing. And it all begins at 0:07 :)

I love your channel! Can you go to Kyoto next time? I would love to see the countless historical sites and districts!
Beautiful 👍
There is a large, dense forest in the village. That’s cool. 👍👍

Oooh...I've been planning a walk here ever since that Tokyo Cheapo article dropped. Sweet!
I'm able to see hidden, more local sides of Tokyo thanks to you and your videos! I really enjoy them. Keep up the great work😊
神社で抜けないで、そのまま渓谷の最後から出て、川に沿って民家の裏側のようなところを辿って行くと多摩川に出ますよ。私は多摩川通りを渡って河原を歩いて田園調布を抜けて、九品仏を抜けて自由が丘に帰って行きました。朝の散歩道。楽しかったな〜
Jesus christ that's beautiful! I swear something about Japan's structure makes it seem like everything is part of nature.
Yes, that's actually how we live our lives in Japan🇯🇵☺️ We live 'with' nature😊
I subscribe coz you inspire me to do more walk tour videos

Thanks for the recommendation! I am not familiar with that side of town, but now I have a good reason to check it out :)
Nice walking trip ! Thumbs up!
85 - After first view! I'm sad it took until 2023 to watch... Nice job!
学校の帰りに良く行きました。橋の手前に肉屋があり、コロッケ食べながら歩いた。当時は少し溝臭かった。渓谷を見下ろせる場所にロアジスというレストランも良く行きました。
such a beautiful quiet neighborhood oh how i wish and dream of living here
Very beautiful. What are the small structures on posts along the walkway?
Thank you
Man, I bet this place would be incredible at night with all those lanterns lining the path near the temple!

I think it's still relatively unknown, I live nearby and go quite often too, and I don't see that many tourists there yet.
@@TokyoExplorer Let's hope it stays that way. I can remember when Fushima Inari-taisha in Kyoto was still unknown.
My favourite hidden oasis within the concrete metropolis that is Tokyo!!

Got to go to Japan one day to see this for real and explore
How do you get such amazing sounds. It’s like I am there! What microphone do you use?
It's written in the video description
Used to live in Ota/Shinagawa and when I first saw Todoroki, it really felt like a piece of silent jungle hidden in a densely populated city. Been there many times since then :)
東京にこんなとこあるんだ...
知らなかった
amazing
damnnnn thats insane, my dream is to live in japan
I recognize this, was there in 2019
Muito legal
Relax with Coffe ☕
Awesome
One day I hope to walk to all of the shrines/temples.
I don't think it's possible to spend a lifetime.
一生涯かけても、無理だと思います｡
I would definitely play this on VR lying on my bed..
I live in chiba so I can avoid crowded areas. Seems like this tokoroki area is way to calm for Tokyo. Got to check out apartment prices lol
Nvm I'm happy living in Abiko in a spacious house lol
Well it's a nice neighborhood but still Tokyo...... Small apartments and typical Tokyo rent.
👌👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏From Argentina 🙋🙋🙋🙋
