We're gonna can catch all the rare Pokemon and see the sights
Eat the food and interact with other people today
So let's go!``
Welcome to the first and only Tokyo Pokemon Go Tour that you can sign up for thus far
If you're visiting Japan for the first time
This is a perfect opportunity for you to not only learn about the popular and mesmerizing sites of Japan
It's an opportunity to get your body moving, learn about Tokyo
Visit major hot spots
And interact with other players who have shared a love for Pokemon and Japan alike
So today we're gonna hit some major hot spots such as Asakusa
Akihabara
Shibuya
Meiji Jingu Shrine
And we will end in Harajuku
Along the way I'll give you guys some Pokemon Go trainer tips
So go and catch some rare Pokemon
And learn about Japan
We start our Pokemon journey in Asakusa
Asakusa's main attraction is Sensoji Temple
And the streets give off an historic vibe
Asakusa used to be Tokyo's leading entertainment district
between the 1600 and 1800s
Enjoy the food, the people and the incredible amount of Pokemon
You see that place? Do you know what this is?
Is this someone's house?
Noooo
I don't know
It's a kindergarten
This is a kindergarten?? Still??
Still! Yes Yes!
I wanna go to this kindergartent
I loved that our Tour Guide Kanae played the game with us
She taught us so much about this place
and all the great places to eat and drink
This is Macha, in Japan it's like very famous
Macha is like a powder that you put in a drink
It's very good for you and it's my favorite!
So I'm excited to drink it! Kanpai!
Cheeers!
It's sweet!
It's not bitter it's sweet and it's delicious
Before you enter the temple you must purify yourself
Take the metal cup
Rinse your left hand, right hand, take a sip but spit it out
Then wash the handle
Farfetch'd! It is different in Japanese, I'm sure of the name in Japanese
But Farfetch'd is the exclusive Pokemon in Japan
You can't find it anywhere else in the world
but in Japan
So I'm hoping to catch a Farfetch'd today
Our Tour guide told us so much about the temple
Things that I didn't even know
It was great to have somebody who knew so much about these places
So here's a trainer tip for you guys
So there's a Pokemon in the temple right now
And you want to take a picture over here
By the shrine
You turn this off, the AR off
And then move to your location over here if you wanna take the picture
So in front of the shrine or the temple
And you can turn the AR on
And it will be right where you want to take a picture
So you can take a picture with the camera right here
And then go back and capture it
Its really cool that you can take lots of pictures of the Pokemon you see at the best tourist spots in Tokyo
You can also get your fortune by shaking a metal box with sticks in it
The sticks had numbers carved on them and that determined what your fortune was
I already have bad luck
The fortune is in a couple different languages including English
It's like a good fortune, it's not the best fortune but it's good!
People that had bad luck tie the paper to these ropes
After messing around a little bit more we decided to head to our next destination but not before my eggs started to hatch
One of my eggs are hatching and it's really cool because on this tour we do a lot of walking
If you're hatching eggs please go on this tour
because you'll be walking a lot and we're only at the beginning of the tour so...one egg hatched
Check!
It's a Squirtle!
Squirtle in Japanese is.....Zenigame!
But in English it's Squirtle
Akihabara, the electronic district of Japan
This place is overflowing with manga and anime goods along with cheap electronic parts and pricey collectibles
There's lots of cosplayers walking around and maid cafes and all sorts of really cool thigns that you can find here
Akihabara was full of ... and I even hatched another egg
This one is a Poke Spot
And in this Radio Kaikan there's so shops of manga, anime goods and hobbies, also you can find many figures of anime
Radio Kaikan is one of the hotspots of Akihabara
It's an indoor street lined with shops full of cheap electronic goods
This street is very narrow and in order for the managers to get into their shop they have to go through this small door
We came across a Gacha Gacha Museum
where you can get lots of small souvenirs for cheap
I had a little bit of trouble trying to open the Gacha Gacha
It turned to be a Dito type Pikachu
And he could walk! So cute!
Don't forget to play some of the games in the Game Centers
They're everywhere
Don Quihote which is another popular shopping spot
This Don Quihote has a lot of different type of Kit Kats such as Raspberry, Cheesecake, Green Tea...
Lots of really rare Pokemon so we looked for them on the way to our next destination
I'm really excited, I really love sushi so that's a great part of my day
Japanese food, yeaaaay
We were really hungry so our next destination was Shibuya
The Shopping District of Japan
So this is the fashion building 109, so inside there's so many shops that sell women clothes, fashion goods
Genki sushi is a popular and cheap sushi restaurant to eat at
This is called Kaiten Zushi
Which literally means rolling sushi
You can change to the English Menu
At this particular chain you can order what you want from a tablet
And the sushi will roll right to you
Each plate is about 180 yen
and really fresh!
Green tea is available at your table
If you're vegetarian
You can come here and order vegetable sushi
So this is like eggplant
They also have egg
So there's all kind of vegetables that you can get that's sushi
Catch Pokemon while waiting for your food
You might see something rare
So if you want to get more experience you can do this roller thing and it's like a curve ball
But I'm really bad at it!
I'm so full! This was so good and it's actually really cheap and when you go on this tour you have to bring your own money for lunch
but this place is cheap enough to eat where it's definitely affordable during this tour so
After you eat you can check out the famous Shibuya Crossing
where tons of people can be seen crossing the street
It's madness
Hachiko Statue which represents the true tale of a loyal dog who patiently waited for his master to return home for 9 years
Even when he had passed away from an unfortunate medical condition
He still waited for his master to return home
I recently caught the live action movie on Netflix!
Kanae told me there was another statue that was recently made in front of Tokyo University
of Hachiko the dog and his master reuniting
I then realized that Hachiko is a popular meeting spot in the city
Hachiko waited for his master just like these people are patiently waiting for their friends
Very interesting
Take pictures with Hachiko and enjoy the city atmosphere
And don't forget to catch some rare Pokemon around here too
So it's summer vacation now and look how crowded it is now
Oh my goodness!
Okay so we are in Harajuku right now
I really like Harajuku it's soooo cool!
It's very colorful and there's lots of people here and..it's just a fun place to be
We're going to Meiji Jingu Shrine which is our next destination on this tour
So we'll go check it out and see what they have there!
Meiji Jingu Shrine was first built in the 1920s
And represents the Meiji period in which Japan became westernized
Okay
This shrine is associated with the religion of Japan: Shintoism
Kanae had a lot of interesting facts about this place but I don't want to reveal too much
The shrine entrance is aligned with sake and wine barrels, it is said that Gods drink them
Sort of like offerings
So much art!
This is a popular spot for New Years
People make wishes on these wooden boards which are eventually burned as the wishes are released into the air as smoke
Praying is a little bit different from the Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa
So we just got done praying at the shrine
And I love this place coz it's very relaxing and
peaceful and there's just a nice atmosphere, a lot of tourists but yeah I really enjoy it here this is probably
one of my favorite places to be in Japan
And you can catch a lot of Pokemon
So there's an app you can get called Kigo Search
And I think you can get it wherever you are
Or it might just be in Japan
But there's another website called Pokevision
So you can check which Pokemon are in each places before you go
You should check it out!
I just met a viewer today she's so cute! Where are you from?
Germany!
Germany? Oh wow!!!
That's really cool it's nice to meet you!
Hello everybody!!
I'm just gonna say that Harajuku and Meiji Jingu Shrine and Yoyogi Park which is all in the same area
is the best place for Pokemon, it has the rarest Pokemon
It's very interesting here so I guess if you guys wanted to walk around more you can go to Yoyogi Park
or go to Harajuku
and check out the Pokemon that they have there
But I think that's probably your best bet!
So we finished our Pokemon Tour and it was a lot of fun
Yeaaaay
