Sugamo-what a tastefully unexpected pick!😘 On days that end in 4(4th,14th, and 24th of every month), the street fills with stalls for the temple fair, and grandmothers flock there to visit Togenuki Jizou Temple and do some shopping. 🍘🍡🍮🍵🧉👕🧂👟🛍️ It gets as packed as Takeshita Street, which is why people call it the “Harajuku for grandmothers.”👵👵👵❤
This is not meant as a shade but its always heartwarming to meet a local Japanese who can converse fluently in english. I guess its really true when they say the world is getting smaller 😀
I love all your videos. I do. But I really really love when you engage with the shop owners! I feel like that is so important to show how so wonderful, how truly friendly Japanese people are. And the stories they probably can tell ❤ that watch store owner who buys direct from Arizona, you know he’s lived a life. thank you for gifting us these visits 💝 they are so special.
Thank you for saying that! It feels amazing when we get the chance to have actual conversations with shop owners and get to know more about their work. It's something we try to work on. Happy it resonates with you 😊🤍
Hey ralph and sam, love your vlogs!!! So happy to see another one!! Also, what camera do you guys use at 12:35? Can't wait to see more travel vlogs and thanks again for another wonderful upload
You are right about that area it always appears to be in its own little cosmos. I used to love taking my relatives to it. They took great delight in the area. Me it was just a bit too granny core. If you get my drift!
1:27 If modeling doesn't work out you can always try making RUclips videos. 😉 BTW, the denim in Japan is unmatched! I'm excited to check that part out when I visit again! What a fun video! Till next video! 😁
Was walking around Shibuya yesterday afternoon to evening on Saturday & it’s even more crowded now 😅...you can feel surge in tourism at Shibuya compared to back in 2022 and precovid days.. probably better to go weekdays unless you like lots of loud talking, long queue lines & close contact with strangers
ooh! this was shot in november so i can imagine even more people now. the big crowds are why we usually look for quieter neighborhoods to explore. hope you're still having fun over there 😊
Love you guys but sweet potatoes aren’t “granny centric” in Japan, kids eat those too. 😂 But thank you so much for exploring the less trendy sites of Tokyo, your authenticity is lovely as always ❤

granny core! very accurate description haha 😊
aaaw I was hoping you got on the Tokyo Tram to Grandma's Harajuku Sugamo
need to try that next time!! 😊
I love your videos; they are really helpful. Thank you! Would your suggested streets fit into the same day's itinerary for Kichijoji and Ikebukuro?
you can do sugamo and okachimachi in a few hours but might run out of time for kichijoji and ikebukuro in the same day ✌🏻
1:27 If modeling doesn't work out you can always try making RUclips videos. 😉
BTW, the denim in Japan is unmatched! I'm excited to check that part out when I visit again! What a fun video! Till next video! 😁
私は時々ヒノヤで洋服を買います。スカジャンやハワイアンシャツも買いました。
日野屋には素敵な服があります。そこでの買い物はとても楽しかったです 👍🏻

メンチカツやアジフライ、もしかしてテーブルに置いてあるソース使わなかったんですか?
私たちは通常、最初の一口はソースなしで撮影します。その後、ソースを試します。どちらも美味しいです!ご視聴ありがとうございました 😊
how do you find the good gachapon places? I need gachapon curation 😆
The red undies was very unexpected 😂 I also wonder what the story is behind it.
Hahaha supposedly it's for good luck!! 🙈
