(upbeat electronic music)
- It is Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, morning in Tokyo,
bright and sunny today.
Just getting it moving for the day,
gonna head down to the fitness center.
Probably just gonna take it easy
in the swimming pool for a little bit.
And then I will get back up and plan a day.
Wander around get lost, explore, Shibuya Crossing,
the dog story, see all the crazy stores
they have around there, and eat some amazing,
amazing food as well.
So they've got a little traditional
Japanese bath house here.
And they've got a nice, ragingly
hot sauna over here as well.
So I'm having Wakame Maki, something like that.
Which is basically what she's just making for me there.
I love how she's like, everyone else in the restaurant
basically like doing it themselves, and it's just basically
like, you want me make for you?
Like, yes.
I think that would be a good idea.
Just gotta wait for it to cook now for a little bit.
(sizzling grill) (slow electric music)
Have it personally cooked just for me,
and it looks absolutely phenomenal.
Let's get stuck in.
That's where I am right now, you can see Shibuya Crossing
right there in the background.
And I'm doing a few of the kind of must have pics,
got some time lapses and videos going over here.
Okay so I've got these two cameras,
and I think I've just about angled them correctly.
So right now I'm just waiting, out in front of the crossing,
for it to count down and go.
(yelling)
That's right a little bit of a boogie,
in the middle of the Shibuya Crossing.
So people seem to do all sorts of stuff
to capture their picture.
All sorts of wild poses, people just darting
about lying on the floor, all sorts.
There also some random dudes,
who just walk up to play the flute.
I'll tell you what, so this is the Hachiko dog.
This little doggie sat outside the station for what,
five years, 10 years, or something after his owner died.
Everyday he just waited for his owner to arrive,
so they decided to make a statue of him to commemorate him,
and he sits right here still outside the Shibuya station,
and now a big tourist attraction, how cool?
Well anyway, that's it with the Shibuya Crossing
for the time being, I think.
I'm just gonna get lost in these little side streets,
see what's up, see what's happening.
Time for a bit of Yakiniku, I'm all set with my apron on.
Here's my little barbecue waiting for me to get stuck in.
Check out the marbling on that kobi beef.
I've been told to cook it for 30 seconds.
Let's get a little stopwatch going.
Let's give it a shot the first little piece.
Oh my god.
That is a real treat.
Okay, I absolutely demolished that.
So, I couldn't resist, I had to get a second portion.
It's so good, some of these pieces of beef are just like
melting in your mouth, juicy and oh the flavor
like I'm eating beef.
So after having had 10 pieces so far,
I've narrowed it down to my favorite two cuts.
So I've just got two more of each of those.
That was quite possibly one of my best meals so far.
I've really enjoyed it, but of course
I haven't yet got to the fish market.
Which I think I'm gonna do tomorrow.
So I tried to go into one of these schoolgirl places,
but I keep getting kicked out
'cause they say it's only for Japanese people.
(joyful classical music)
Crepe anyone?
Oh my god, banana, chocolate, strawberry,
to much to handle, wah.
Just having a little stroll back down to Shibuya Crossing
again, just to see how that looks,
at night with all the lights very visible.
Let's have a look.
