I think that will be the spot Gao community if anyone wanna meet Rion. Interesting combination of yakitori with rice. Hopefully you will have a staycation at the Tokyo Station hotel.
Tokyo Station is HUGE! This is a great video - how you basically broke down all of the sections of the station. Very helpful! Nice job, Rion! Gaooo! (ESFJ here 😊)
My husband and I visited Japan April 2023. We enjoyed our visit.I miss Japan. Watching you helps me feel like I’m there. Thank you so much for your hard work and content. “Let’s keep walking”😊
We're going to Japan in September and surely would want to visit Yaesu side of Tokyo station. Thank you Rion. We've been watching your videos, all very informative :)
Great Rion, guiding the east, west, south, and north of Tokyo Station. The KITTE building on the 6th floor, the rooftop garden I like it very much😍👍. Wow, west under grand street have Okinawa event 👍! Oazo Building, Maruzen Book Store has 4 levels 🤩! 13:48 ～GaÖ～ 👏! 19:03 wow, the Yakitori bowl must be delicious, with pickled vegetables and miso soup 😋👍, I dare not eat chicken offal🫢. Go to the second floor of Yaesu to enjoy McDonald limited lemonade, watch the scenery, it really is enjoyable A relaxing place. The result of My MBTI 16 personality test is 💁🏻♀️Mediator😄! Thank you so much for this wonderful video that can help us in our future itinerary around Tokyo Station🤝!
i went to Tokyo in end May-June23. My first stop was Tokyo station straight from Narita Airport! i wanted to take photo of the front of Tokyo station from Marunouchi side but ended up at a building to the North. (I managed to go to the front!) Then i quickly need to grab dinner and head towards Yaesu side (cos my hotel was at Yaesu - Kyobashi) yes, going from the west side to east side of Tokyo station, and finding restaurant for my late dinner was challenging in the maze esp i was lugging my luggage from airport and wanting to go hotel soon to rest for the night. your video brought back memories and if this video was released before my trip, i perhaps can avoid some "mistakes". haha [PS - i actually found a map/floor directory of Tokyo station before my trip but then..helpful to certain extent only]
Dear Rion San. I just want to thank you for the great job you are doing to promote and give information of Japan. I was in Tokyo from 20 to 27 Jun 2023 and the information and videos that you have provided had been extremely useful and informative. By watching your videos, I have gain a good familiarity of Japan that I would not have despite the previous trips that I had made in past years. Once again, どうもありがとうございます
I love Yaesu side of Tokyo station 😄 many shops to browse and eatery is cheaper too. Watching this virtual tokyo station tour and it's surrounding is like a revision for my next trip in 5 months time. Visiting again soon! haha! Great job Rion!
Really enjoy your videos. Will be going to Japan soon so thought I’d do a bit of catching up about it. This is fun to watch and get an idea of how Tokyo is though your everyday lif3.
I enjoy that you added the small map inset occasionally to help me visualize which part of the station area you were in. I will probably go to the 6F Maronouchi Building garden for five minutes just to see how many trains come and go.
You could be a guide for small groups(maybe not more than 5 at a time?) & teach people how to get around Japan(especially for first timers). You could show them how to use the train system, where the great food places are & how to order, where is good to explore or even take them to places that they request to see, etc. You could charge per person, per day or make special group or weekly guide rates. I know I would pay(especially if I were a first timer). I don't really care to go on a tour package because you are basically stuck with them all day & can't go on you own to explore. Plus, everything with tours is rush, rush. I'd rather get a personal tour guide to take me to the places I want to go to see without any time constraints.....Just a thought(Keep those awesome videos coming)
Hi, Rion! Really appreciate your videos and have been following you from when you had your first 1,000 subscribers, they're always really informative and interesting 🙌 I also had a feeling your result was going to be ENFP before you revealed it, you have a very talkative, happy, creative energy! Keep up the great work, gao! ✨ I hope you will cover Hakone soon, it's one of my favourite places to visit Mine is INTJ :)
love all your videos but ones like that may really help tourists to get a good impression and be able to plan where to go. may I ask to turn down the music volume just a little (only the one part in the restaurant was too loud for me) I loved to hear whar you talked while eating but that trumpet and piano was a little bit too loud, but if you don't want to make it a little more silent it's okay too because I really enjoy your work. love to mee more in the future, it really makes me happy to see how your channel is growing I hope you have a lot of joy while filming because I do have it while watching. thank you so much for your hard work, lovely greetings from Switzerland😁
Thank you for this video. I never go to Tokyo station. I just jump off the Shinkasen, then jump on to the Yamanote subway. I don't even go eat or drink there. I just want to get to the hotel! Maybe next year, I will try to visit the station.
Just came back from Japan last week. I stayed around Tokyo Station for getting around Tokyo, using Shinkansen, Ginza Line, Airport ete. It was little confusing at the beginning, but getting used to it later. I stayed at Yaesu site.
I actually go back in November after 6 yrs now. But I'll be mainly in Tokyo area with a little 2 day thing in Kyoto/Osaka (I know not a lot of time but I'm crazy) but man I forgot how to order food when in Japan
One thing that might get confusing if you're in the basement is that if you follow the signs to get to the bus terminal, that will take you across the Street from Tokyo Station--that's not where you want to be if you are heading to Narita Airport. The 1300 yen Keisei bus going to Narita Airport is actually at Yaesu South Exit of Tokyo Station (near McDonald's) at stop 7. It's about as fast as Narita Express at much lower cost and you don't need to go to basement level 5 to catch Narita Express. The only drawback with that bus is that it is limited to 1 suitcase and a small carry on.
The building is beautiful. Was it based on the Main Train Terminal in Amsterdam? I was so close to visiting and working in Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture performer and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit Japan. Great video.
I just have impression that you became an expert as related to Tokyo Station - your beloved topic. You are aware of all the interesting and hidden spots there and the space is really immense so that whenever you are there you could show us something new not seen before thus this is the everlasting theme never to be totally exhausted. This time it has been a little bit even broadened into in and around the Tokyo Station. Congrats Rion - well done as always. It seems to me that you are a lucky guy as related to the weather while shooting your videos in spite the rainy season. Looking forward to your summer adventures to come! GAAOO - 😎😎😎😎
We stayed at that Hotel Metropolitan right beside Tokyo Station on the northern side (Nihombashi Exit). So convenient and the rooms were sooo clean. Great view of the station too. Automated Family Mart on the first floor. For the station itself, it was very very busy during sakura season but so many places to see, whether to eat or shop and so many train lines to take you around Tokyo (and farther places with the Shinkansen). Thanks for the video Rion! Keep up the great work!
Gonna watch soon and update so busy but I'm sure this video will be useful and entertaining 😊 *Update: Omg, with all the things to explore at Tokyo Station, it would probably take two days to fully see what's to offer. 😂 My favorite part was ramen street and the last area you were chilling and drinking your lemonade. Seems like the perfect place to get away from the crowds. Thanks again for the hard work. My personality type is ISFJ (Defender)
Yea, seriously, if I combined all the time I spent exploring Tokyo Station city, it’d be one whole day, and I still saw new places in this video. 😆 Defenders unite! ❤
Loved this video! I was very worried about getting lost around Tokyo station. And now my friend who is going to Japan with my in October is VERY excited about the 4 floor bookstore lol. It's been added to the list. :) I also took the personality test a while back. I'm a ISFJ personality type, which is a Defender. I'd like to say it was pretty accurate with the description, including strengths and weaknesses.
McDonalds in Japan is usually very good because they follow the food preparation directions closely. My favourite drink there is the Qoo muscat grape flavour - its great and only McDonalds seem to have it in that flavour.
Funny, I'm an INFP, so only one letter different :) I redid this test a few times over the years, but the result for me always stays the same :D Also thank you for hard work and content! I'm looking forward to coming back to JP this November after almost ten years
Hey Rion the time has come: the Fuji season has started. 🗻 From July 1st to mid-September, Japan's sacred mountain can officially be climbed. It‘s your plan for almost 2 year do it 2023🎉
I know Tokyo station is bigger and more complex, but honestly, I find Umeda station in Osaka more complicated. I go to visit Japan every year and I always get lost in Umeda station. I suggest you do a walk-through video of Umeda station.
Wow! Tokyo Station is huge and I think it will be complicated for first time tourists. I will visit the old town of Sawara, Chiba and I’ll be coming from Tokyo Station. Now seeing the station makes me worry that I might get lost 😅. Is it possible for you to do a video on how to go to Sawara from Tokyo Station? Will really appreciate if you can do it. 😊
Tendon Tenya at Yaechika in video is pretty good. Another option is Marugame Seimen (It's a low cost Udon shop chain). Their tempura is _huge_ . If you prefer, you can just order rice instead of Udon and just pickup the tempura you want (cafeteria style service). It's usually busy enough that the tempura remains crisp. They operate as Marugame Udon in the U.S. in Hawaii, California, and Texas but menu might be a bit different than in Japan and of course it'll costs about 3 times as much (but on the other hand, that still might be reasonable).
INTJ here. I see we share the N but are otherwise quite different MBTI-wise. 😊 I do enjoy your videos though, and really appreciated all the guidance you had provided in your videos the last time I was in Japan (in April). It was my third visit, the first one was in 2014 and the second in 2016. Looking forward to my next visit, whenever that might be. ❤
I remember going out and back in a couple of times through thebticket gate on the Yaesu side. I was confused because I didn't understand the difference between the Marunouchi and Yaesu sides. When I tried going back in a third time, the ticket gate refused me. I asked the station attendant for help and she told me I owe money. I know my Suica card had lots of funds so I didn't understand. Anyways, I was resigned to walk around the outside of the station to get to the Marunouchi side. After 15 minutes, I was still on the Yarsu side but I tried another gate. . . and it let me through! I still don't understand what happened.
Is it possible to request directions? If I take the ginza line from asakusa, walk north west to Tokyo station. From that entrance how do I get to Matsuri, and maruhen? Plan to already have a ticket for the train to kyoto before I go, just can't seem to puzzle out some of the map. Thank you in advance.
I have a question, I go to Japan tokyo, osaka, kyoto in a few days and want to have a afternoon tea, can you show us one and what the experience is like
Hello Tiffany!!! Let’s go to the KITTE next time👍 I took a personality test for the first time. It was interesting to discover something new about myself.🤣👍
I love that okinawan ketchup soooooo much (6:45) sadly they don't ship overseas ... had a friend in Japan ship me some bottles before but they are already long gone *cry* also lots of big station in japan are super confusing .... i had the same problem at tokyo station also at kyoto station and some others i forgot... sometimes i just went trough with the suica and hat the attendand cancel the wrong entry at the other side ^^V
About the Kitte mall - I recently discovered on the basement floor B1, there is another small Ramen street! (currently 5 ramen restaurants) Great for anyone in the area looking for even more ramen options on top of Tokyo station's ramen street and ramen yokocho.
Hi Rion 😊Can you please explain the menu prices @18:33 the prices in brackets? Is this a tax that is added on to the price or a different menu option - something extra added to the meal? I have tried to find it but can't get a clear answer. I will be travelling to Japan in Oct/Nov so this kind of information will become important to me. Love the Vids, have been watching for a years and I would love to bump into you when I am over there!!!! 😊 Arigatooo !!!
@@andypandy. The 10% tax applies to nearly everything. A reduced rate of 8% applies to food (excludes alcohol beverage) sold outside of restaurant (mostly grocery at grocery store), medical and sanitary materials, magazine and newspaper subscription.
@@andypandy. There's also duty free shopping for those living outside of Japan if you purchase something within Japan to be taken with you outside of Japan. There's a 5000 yen minimum purchase per store and you must verify eligibility (visitor stamp on Passport), must take the item outside of Japan within 30 days of purchase, etc. There's a new QR code system in Visit Web Japan that got started to make things easier for duty free shopping but there aren't that many stores that have those readers in place unfortunately. The shops within the departure gate area of Tokyo Narita and Tokyo Haneda Airport are in general tax free but with the new requirements, you still have to prove you don't live in Japan. I don't know if the 5000 yen minimum applies there right now.
When you show your favorite restaurants like the standing sushi with reasonable price you should wright the name of it in English on the screen for your American viewers, arigato gonsaimasu. I will be visiting Japan in September for 2 and a half weeks
I think that will be the spot Gao community if anyone wanna meet Rion. Interesting combination of yakitori with rice. Hopefully you will have a staycation at the Tokyo Station hotel.
Arigatoooo Kedderick!
🤣👍Hope Oneday I can have meet up event there😆
Showing a map of where you are is very helpful! Thank you
Your train station videos are the most enjoyable!
Thanks bro!

Thanks for this info! I always get lost at Tokyo station , next time I'll rewatch this video before I go :)
I was sooo lost in the station yesterday uggh wish I had seen this thanks, so I want to go in th old side where you started. I will rewatch!

Okay but is no one gonna comment how perfect his skin looks!? Drop that skincare routine 😄
Oh maaaaan we missed you! 😢We travelled through there on the 28th in the late morning on our way to Osaka. It is such a beautiful station. ❤
I love exploring Tokyo station, especially the basement area stores.

I always enjoy your Tokyo station videos, Rion. So many people, stores and restaurants. Lovin' it. Arigatougozaimasu! 👍🚅
Walking around the Tokyo station was fun! 😄 Nice to see new and interesting restos and shops to explore. Defender me! 🤗
its more expensive here in the states...japan has always somewhere to go and something to do..I love it there...
Thanks Rion, I was too rush on my last visit, must take nice pics on my next trip to Tokyo
Thanks for sharing! Very useful information!
Your video is super helpful for our upcoming trip to Tokyo this August. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Dear Ryon-san, the challenge is to do the same at Shinjuku Station!!!😂😂😂
One thing that might get confusing if you're in the basement is that if you follow the signs to get to the bus terminal, that will take you across the Street from Tokyo Station--that's not where you want to be if you are heading to Narita Airport.

It's about as fast as Narita Express at much lower cost and you don't need to go to basement level 5 to catch Narita Express. The only drawback with that bus is that it is limited to 1 suitcase and a small carry on.
The building is beautiful. Was it based on the Main Train Terminal in Amsterdam?
I was so close to visiting and working in Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture performer and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit Japan. Great video.
your camera is super hd!!! loving it 😍
Thanx for sharing,Rion,very intriguing and interesting 👍🙏💖
RION!!!!! Even i am also a CAMPAIGNER 🤝😄
Awesome 😊
Hi ENFP! INFJ here.🤗

I just have impression that you became an expert as related to Tokyo Station - your beloved topic.
You are aware of all the interesting and hidden spots there and the space is really immense so that whenever you are there you could show us something new not seen before thus this is the everlasting theme never to be totally exhausted.

*Update: Omg, with all the things to explore at Tokyo Station, it would probably take two days to fully see what's to offer. 😂 My favorite part was ramen street and the last area you were chilling and drinking your lemonade.

McDonalds in Japan is usually very good because they follow the food preparation directions closely. My favourite drink there is the Qoo muscat grape flavour - its great and only McDonalds seem to have it in that flavour.

hey Rion, what's the best green tea/matcha you like? What brands or places to buy to ship internationally do you recommend?
You have a very enjoyable personality and your English is so easy to understand. Where did you learn it?
I studied in the States, pls check my Ep. 001 😊

Hi Rion. Another great video. Best channel for Tokyo travel!!
Un salut de l'algérie 🎉
Fried shrimp is one of my weaknesses. If I went to a place that specializes in tempura, I’d probably just order dozens of shrimp.
Tendon Tenya at Yaechika in video is pretty good. Another option is Marugame Seimen (It's a low cost Udon shop chain). Their tempura is _huge_ . If you prefer, you can just order rice instead of Udon and just pickup the tempura you want (cafeteria style service). It's usually busy enough that the tempura remains crisp. They operate as Marugame Udon in the U.S. in Hawaii, California, and Texas but menu might be a bit different than in Japan and of course it'll costs about 3 times as much (but on the other hand, that still might be reasonable).

Hi Rion, can you help to explore Nikko area? Seems to be very interesting place. thanks
👍
anyone who went to japan recently, is matsudo tomita (chuka soba tomita branch) still at kitte?
About the Kitte mall - I recently discovered on the basement floor B1, there is another small Ramen street! (currently 5 ramen restaurants)
Great for anyone in the area looking for even more ramen options on top of Tokyo station's ramen street and ramen yokocho.
Hi Rion 😊Can you please explain the menu prices @18:33 the prices in brackets? Is this a tax that is added on to the price or a different menu option - something extra added to the meal? I have tried to find it but can't get a clear answer. I will be travelling to Japan in Oct/Nov so this kind of information will become important to me. Love the Vids, have been watching for a years and I would love to bump into you when I am over there!!!! 😊 Arigatooo !!!
The law now requires after 10% consumption tax to be printed.
@@emikami1 Thanks!!!! this will information will help us when we travel. Is this tax for all things or just food items from a restaurant?
@@andypandy. The 10% tax applies to nearly everything. A reduced rate of 8% applies to food (excludes alcohol beverage) sold outside of restaurant (mostly grocery at grocery store), medical and sanitary materials, magazine and newspaper subscription.
@@andypandy. There's also duty free shopping for those living outside of Japan if you purchase something within Japan to be taken with you outside of Japan. There's a 5000 yen minimum purchase per store and you must verify eligibility (visitor stamp on Passport), must take the item outside of Japan within 30 days of purchase, etc. There's a new QR code system in Visit Web Japan that got started to make things easier for duty free shopping but there aren't that many stores that have those readers in place unfortunately.
The shops within the departure gate area of Tokyo Narita and Tokyo Haneda Airport are in general tax free but with the new requirements, you still have to prove you don't live in Japan. I don't know if the 5000 yen minimum applies there right now.
Rion, could I please have the name and location of the Juicy Yakitori Bowl restaurant please? I will visit this place soon. 😊
What time do the restaurants normally closed at Tokyo station during Weekend ? Weekday?
Really depends, usually open until 9 to late time!
I'm going to Japan in the last week of September, is it a good time to visit Japan? I'm worried about the typhoon. 😢 I read it's the typhoon season.
what lens and camera do you usually use?
zv-e1 + 16-35 pz 🌻👍
When you show your favorite restaurants like the standing sushi with reasonable price you should wright the name of it in English on the screen for your American viewers, arigato gonsaimasu. I will be visiting Japan in September for 2 and a half weeks
True! "Nemuro hanamaru" was in the video!
