[Music] thank you Ohio gozaimasu and welcome welcome my friends to the largest city on
earth and my personal favorite city in the whole world which is Tokyo so for the first
video that I did of the area I thought I would cover the big six you know the foundation
of the districts that you really need to see if you are coming here for the first time
and just the parts where everything is happening where everything is going on so to start things
off we are in asakusa District this is one of the older areas of Tokyo where there is
a very famous temple called sensoji Temple that is the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo
this is a great area to come to if you want to learn more about traditional Japanese culture
they have really good souvenirs that you can buy here really good restaurants and overall
it is just a must visit area of the city
foreign
[Music]
[Music] thank you [Music]
it wouldn't be a perfect 24 hours in Tokyo if we didn't go to Shibuya Crossing now would
it this is definitely the heart of Tokyo in my opinion I have never been in a crossing
of this magnitude where they do say that over 2 000 people cross the street every time during
rush hour
so now we will actually be going somewhere that I have not gone to before in all my times
to Japan which is the observatory of Shibuya Sky I think it's on the 42nd Floor it's this
building right up here and it is supposed to be one of the best views of the city because
of course you are right above Shibuya scramble you can see Roppongi and like Tokyo Tower
area over there on a clear day sometimes you can see Mount Fuji and I've never strangely
been up there so I thought that this video would be the perfect opportunity so let's
go check it out [Music]
[Music]
[Music] thank you foreign [Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Music] this is incredible guys I will still say that Tokyo Sky Tree is the best view in
Tokyo and you guys will see that in a future Vlog but if you are looking for the best open
air experience I can now say that this is better than uh the Roppongi Hills helicopter
pad that I've also been to because there's nowhere else that I know of that will give
you this high of a view of Shibuya scramble you get to see Tokyo Tower in the distance
it is definitely worth coming here
is more or less a really famous Entertainment District lots of pop culture in this area
but since it is about one o'clock I want to go get some lunch instead of going to a super
touristy place there's an isakaya that I heard from a local that is supposed to be really
good uh here in Shibuya area so let's go check it out
[Music] something like that
yeah
I am really excited to eat at this place there are no other foreigners here so that's probably
a good sign so yeah this is toritake this is their flagship store and they are especially
known for Yakitori which is different kinds of chicken skewered and barbecued their vegetable
skewers are also supposed to be really good especially the green bell pepper and overall
the prices are also very very reasonable
my veggies have arrived and they look so good especially these Ginkgo berries that I have
never had anywhere outside of Japan highly recommend it's kind of hard to explain what
they taste like I haven't had them in a while so let's try
it it's a very unique flavor it's ever so slightly potato like like it's a very hard
start but they're very Savory they're not at all sweet and when they're barbecued super
good and now my Yakitori has arrived which basically is just chicken breast and it has
a few veggies in between them super good
drowning [Music]
[Applause]
we have officially made it to shibuya's Crazy next door neighbor which is Harajuku but in
Harajuku I would say the top things to do are shopping number one because the fashion
here is really amazing there's a lot of great boutiques there's a lot of malls there's a
lot of very interesting restaurants and cafes to check out here and most importantly I feel
like this is a great place to people watch because once again the fashion here is absolutely
ridiculous [Music]
oh
[Music] foreign
[Music] now before we leave this District I was actually invited to a very special performance
that is happening in this area called zakurosho it is a traditional Japanese musical performance
using instruments that probably very few people even know how to play anymore the musicians
are wearing traditional dress and kimonos and it's actually catered towards an English-speaking
audience because they really want to share you know this traditional culture and music
that most tourists probably don't get to hear live when they're in Japan so I will of course
put a link in the description so you guys can check out the show for themselves but
they have allowed me to come and film so you guys can get an idea of what it's about [Music]
yeah foreign [Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
so for our last stop of the night we are in Shinjuku which I feel is you know an absolute
must especially if you're coming to Tokyo for the first time and being here in Shinjuku
station I don't think I have to say believe it or not but believe it this is the easiest
train station in the world with I guess an average of 3.5 million people that go through
it every single day but we are going to walk around a bit at night in my opinion that is
the best time to see Shinjuku because then you get to see all the crazy light so many
high-rise buildings and a lot of really cool back alley kind of bars that you can check
out foreign
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
thank you
[Music] so that is it my friends I hope you enjoyed this very crazy very fast-paced 24
hours in Tokyo because I do need to sleep after 30 years old there's no way that I'm
gonna be staying up 24 hours straight exploring but I hope this video was helpful in giving
you some ideas especially if you are coming to Tokyo for the first time about some of
the most popular districts of course most tourists do already know about these districts
but I would really urge you guys to spend more time like up to a full day in each one
exploring some of the lesser-known areas so leave your thoughts in the comments and stay
tuned for the next video where I will be going to much lesser known districts that tourists
usually don't go to as always I'm sending you guys so much love I hope you're having
a fantastic day and keep being here all kind of beautiful bye guys government
