foreign
ERS and welcome to Tokyo Kaya we got a fellow YouTuber in the house and you have
been traveling southeast Asia Africa for how many months now Middle East I actually started
in Middle East of that Africa Tanzania and then southeast Asia so I've been traveling for four
months okay so her channel will be linked in the description definitely check it out
what would you say as somebody who's coming to Tokyo for the first time what's kind of been
your first impression crazy amazing better than I expected great insane like I mean I'm speechless
yeah well you know as somebody who's obsessed with Tokyo I will say I kind of don't understand that
unless you just hate cities like I understand if you're just a nature person you hate cities
okay you're not gonna like Tokyo but like if you like cities you can't not love Tokyo you
cannot hate it yeah I took it there's somebody wrong with her yeah I think it's like one of
the best cities in the world so much to do it has everything you know yeah exactly so you're
here for about a week and a half and I'm gonna be showing you around a few different little
places here uh starting with odaiba so odaiba is a bit of a unique day trip where it's this
high-tech entertainment Hub on an artificial Island overlooking Tokyo bay so we are going
to take you guys along it's going to be a fabulous day and if you come to Tokyo you have to come here
thank you
all right friends we made it to odaiva I'm gonna flip my girl I love it yeah you got this like
yesterday at like a really cool vintage shopping I've ever been to in my life but the difference
between let's say Harajuku and here in odaiba there is next to no people here look at how
empty the most kind of famous Mall here in odaiba is this is called Dex I mean the view the skyline
from here and the bridge it's beautiful it kind of that's why I asked you about New York I was
like where did I even start it but the bridge and the you know what we see here it kind of reminds
me of New York there's actually something here funny you mentioned New York that uh is actually
a very Landmark oh yeah do you know what it is already yeah there is a Statue of Liberty here
in odaiba did they decide that I was like a thing to do so initially it was a gift from France who
I guess commemorate Japan's and France's uh friendship but then they took that original
Statue back because it was like on loan no friends anymore and then they built like a replica that's
here full time but it's kind of weird because all around Japan there's actually a few other
random Statue of Liberties in other places it's not just the one here in odaiba kind of weird
so here we are in downtown odaiba I guess you could say if we look very downtown yeah if we
flip around we see the famous Fuji building which is like a TV network that they have
here and the globe itself is a visitor center so if you wanted to get a cool view of odaiba
and be in the globe you can go up there I think it's like seven or eight dollars but outside of
the nice views of Tokyo bay and like the amusement parks the shopping malls that
they have here odaiba is also really well known for amazing museums for example they have the
miracan museum which is like the robot museum I don't know if we'll have time to go there today
but I would highly recommend uh checking it out and then second of all uh just a ways up into
yosu is team Labs planets a super cool yeah super cool art museum that we were planning on going to
today but looking at the website last night all the tickets were sold out into next week which
is crazy because I feel like everyone who goes to Tokyo goes there because I see it yeah all
the time it's definitely worth going to and like I am gonna try and go there like while I'm still
in Tokyo so I'll like input the footage but I feel sorry for Kaya that in the time that
she's here like it's all sold out and it's so hard to believe because I wouldn't think that
outside of cherry blossom season Tokyo would be that busy but it is so friends I did end up
going to team lab planets before I left Tokyo and let me tell you it was it was worth it it
was an incredible experience for those of you who have never heard of them before team Labs
is Japan's most high profile Collective of digital artists they make these incredible immersive art
exhibits usually utilizing technology it has now become an international Collective though
so you do sometimes see uh Team Labs exhibits in other countries but it is said that Tokyo always
has the best ones it was definitely an incredible experience and I would recommend going but I will
also say that the crowds were ridiculous you know I had to book my ticket well in advance to be able
to get in at this time so hopefully in two to three months the crowds in Tokyo will start to
die down I think ever since they got rid of the pandemic rules tourism in Japan has just been
absolutely insane so hopefully if you guys go in the fall to winter time it'll be a lot less busy
the thing about Japan is that obviously anime and these types of characters are
very popular here and even though I've been to Japan so many times I know next
to nothing about them Kaya do you like watch anime or like manga or anything
it was a kid I used to watch I think it was called Dragon Ball Dragon Ball Z yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah I used to love it I like Pokemon yeah Pokemon you know was huge
foreign
okay I think I see what I think I see but I'm not
sure Kaya doesn't yet know what I have planned but if I'm not mistaken there is
something the other day in Shibuya and I saw a place like that and all the foreigners were
doing it but I was alone it's so much fun yeah if you have like a friend and so I haven't done these
like in a long time but they're basically like photo booths that like change your features to
be more Kawaii in different ways so maybe we'll have to like oh my God look at this one okay so
do you think they think this is like money or cute it's cute but don't you like okay like that one I
get it yeah yeah this is like ridiculous well it's like yeah it's like cartoony cute but it's like to
be fair like of course this is over exaggerated but with like the makeup trends that they have
here in Japan like with the contact lenses and with the way they do their eyes they're actually
trying to almost sometimes look like a cartoon character certain like Kawaii Trends yeah this is
like like four US dollars so I don't know how this works so I'm gonna hope I can like figure it out
for reload okay that one I don't know doesn't look as cute I think we should go with this one yeah
which one this is so complicated like no idea what's happening I'm eight
what's happening I don't know oh this thing is
oh my God oh my God
now I realized
okay oh my gosh here are our pictures I'm so excited but I have no idea what
we have to do now and I think we have to figure it out in less time
okay this was so much more complicated than expected like I have no idea what
to do with their mobile site but I think we made a print so let's go look
look at the fabulous view that we have here we are in the odaiba location of gumpachi if that name
doesn't mean anything to you it is the restaurant the Nishi azabu location was featured in The Kill
Bill movie like the big famous restaurant scene that was shot there but of course this
is a different location uh though the food is the same so Kaya and I are going to grab lunch
here it's in aqua City so if you're looking for a great place to eat I would highly recommend this
place so we just received our food and it looks so good I'm so impressed look at this beautiful
tempura I got a mix of shrimp and veggies there is some rice under myself yes you get a salad
you get miso soup you get unlimited oolong tea and I've told you guys about my love for soba so
they give you some and all of this all together is only 12 US dollars that is a phenomenal deal
yeah exactly with this phenomenal view of Tokyo bay
all right so we just got to shimbashi and we are going to catch the asakusa line to the tallest
freestanding tower in the world which is called the Sky Tree Kaya are you so excited perfect
Hey listen up I've tried to tell you this a hundred times
you don't change
what do you think Kaya first impressions
that's crazy beautiful for you and it's good because we're here at like five o'clock so I think
the sunset as like at 6 10 so we'll kind of get to the light of the sunset I love Tokyo Sky Tree
so much it's a little bit foggy today which is a shame if you catch it on a day when it's clear
and you can like See For Miles and Miles it just gives you an idea of how vast and enormous this
city really is but at least we got like a really bright and sunny day so it's still really nice
foreign
sure I don't know any words

get to end it how amazing thank you so much for being my co-host for the day thank you for being
