Hey guys, it’s Linzor.
If you don’t know who I am, my name is Linzor and I’m from Sweden,
but I have an international YouTube channel and today I’m here as an EF guest vlogger.
If you’re part of the Ohana, don’t forget to slap a like on this button
and show the power of the Ohana Squad.
If you don’t know anything about me, you should know I love Japan.
I’m studying Japanese at the moment. I’ve been to Tokyo two times.
The first time I was there, I went with one of my best friends for two months.
It was the best time ever, so if you’re going to study there, I’m so jealous of you.
Today, I want to show you guys some of my favourite places in Japan,
especially Tokyo, but not exclusively.
So, if you’re going to Tokyo or Osaka or Kyoto, you can check out one of these places that I love.
I just want to say one thing before we start: Hello everyone. I’m Linzor. Nice to meet you.
Let’s get started.
The first place that I have to talk about, because this is my favourite place in Tokyo, is Shibuya.
Shibuya has everything.
If you’re going to Tokyo, you need to go to Shibuya. Not only is Shibuya amazing with all the stores
and restaurants and everything, but it is walking distance from Harajuku.
There is Shibuya and there is Harajuku.
Yes. This means that you can walk from Shibuya to Harajuku
and the walk from Shibuya to Harajuku is my favourite thing to do in Japan or Tokyo.
Louisa and I always walk when we’re going to Harajuku because we always come from Shibuya.
It’s really pretty here.
Just walking there is so beautiful. I never take the train. I always walk.
It takes 10 minutes.
You walk past some stores, beautiful bushes, some greenery, and a big national park,
but I can’t remember the name right now.
If you’re in Shibuya, you’re close to everything. My favourite ramen is also in Shibuya.
That brings me to ramen. Yes, ramen!
I have no doubt in my mind that if you have not been to Japan, you want to eat ramen.
I remember my first ramen. I think it was at Ichiran
It wasn’t my favourite, but I loved it.
Of course, you have to try ramen.
The time I laughed the most was when I was at a maid café.
You have to go to a maid café if you go to Japan.
I went to Maidorīmin which is one of the biggest maid cafés.
You are not allowed to record, but I got a little snippet.
People are crazy, to say the least.
There was a man dancing and he was extremely excited.
I ordered a show on stage and it was so much fun. We even got to take a Polaroid with the maids.
Look. Oh my god! That’s us.
Speaking of maid cafés …. Akihabara. Do we want to go? Yes, we do.
Akihabara is known as the Electric City and it is very fun.
There are glowing signs everywhere.
There are a lot of animé and figurine stores. A lot is an understatement.
And speaking of Akihabara, claw machines!
I can’t deny that I am obsessed with claw machines. I could barely get everything home.
Look just here. Everything here is claw machines.
If you like cute things and you’re going to Tokyo, bring an extra bag because you’re going to need it.
Let’s move out of Tokyo and talk a bit more about Osaka and Kyoto.
Near Osaka is a magical place made by, I don’t know, fairies?
It’s Nara Dear Park. I cannot believe this place exists.
You can actually pet deer.
If you give them a cookie and you bow, they will bow back to you.
Also, everything there is so beautiful. It is so beautiful!
If you’re going to go anywhere,
this is the place that I would probably suggest the most,
except the path from Shibuya. Those two things.
A train ride away from Tokyo, in maybe 40 or 50 minutes, you can get to Mount Takao.
What’s special about Mount Takao is that you can take a zip line.
I think that’s what it’s called. You have no safety belt or anything.
You’re just sitting on this bench for two, and you just go up the entire mountain.
It is crazy. And the view up there. Yes!
And, oh my god, Arashiyama. In Arashiyama, you have bamboo forests,
you have a mountain with monkeys, and you can ride boats in the beautiful river.
This is also one of the most breathtaking places that I’ve seen in my life.
Oh my god, you have to go here.
We went boat riding there and it was one of the best things I’ve done in my entire life.
I’m so happy I did that. I didn’t do it last time I was there,
but I did it this year, and I’m jealous if you’re going to go.
Then we have Kyoto. Kyoto is the cutest city.
I was only there for two days,
but two of the most memorable things were the cute streets,
how small everything was and how it felt like you could do anything here.
And also the blooming sakura. The blooming sakura in Kyoto was so nice.
We had an air b&b with a window looking out at the sakura flowers and the river.
It was amazing.
The bridges, the architecture ̶ everything in Kyoto was just beautiful.
I really hope you go and see one of these places.
If you’re going with EF in general to Japan, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto or even to the smaller places,
which I have heard are stunning as well, I am jealous of you. I wish I were going, too.
And oh my god, yakiniku, sushi, everything! Karaoke is so much fun! Everything.
This video could be 20 minutes long if I went off talking about everything.
Have fun, but don’t forget to study! Lastly, I’d just like to say:
Good luck! Believe it!
I can’t believe I just said that.
Thank you for watching this and thank you to EF for letting me guest vlog here. Bye!
