hello everybody welcome to tokyo
creative play i'm emma and today i'm
here with
that guy with a youtube channel abroad
in japan oh
my god you're that girl that came on the
cycle with me but then didn't appear in
the video yeah thanks for that
we're still friends it's fine why am i
doing the videos why wasn't i in the
videos
chris oh anyway moving on we're in a tc
video today
it's been a while making it up to me
it's how i am i've i haven't been in a
room
with you i'm sorry i haven't been in a
room i'm in
with you for at least two years
well i haven't been this bloody studio
for one year so it's kind of weird to be
here today we're gonna
play a fun game today we're gonna be
playing a fun game together we've
already played this game before if you
want to check the video out uh
link is up here somewhere but we're
going to be playing which
is better so we're going to be given two
different options
of things that could be better than the
other and we pick which one's the better
one in our own
thought opinions an original and
groundbreaking concept shall we
yes let's let's what's it called again
the title which
is better which is better
yakiniku well shabby shabby feels
healthier
because it's you know meat that's been
boiled in the water
yaki nikki is usually drizzled
annoyingly fried on the pan
barbecue i think it depends on what moon
i'm in if i'm going to a more
sophisticated milk shabu-shabu is the
one to go for but if you just want a
nice night out
a couple of drinks good food yaki
nikki's the way to go see i feel exactly
the same way
the different situations if i didn't
have to worry about how healthy i felt
or
just whatever i want i wanted the best
it didn't affect me i would go yakiniku
i do always feel quite guilty
yeah really greasy because the air is
like ninety percent just grease
yeah cause it's just like loads of
barbecues going in one room it's like
spitting everywhere and there's smoke
and
yeah oh it's so good it's really really
good i'd say
every video i do with ryotaro he makes
me do shabu-shabu somewhere do you want
shabu-shabu not really
let's see oh okay for the fifth time in
one of our videos
i've never been to the robot restaurant
and i never been to a main cafe well
so i'm gonna pick robot restaurant
because i've been to a maid cafe
right and i'm gonna pick robot
restaurant because i've seen videos of
makeup
i tried to get in one actually earlier
this year with that ski to film and they
were like
i was like come on i'm sure i'll give
you a flattering review i mean i wasn't
going to yeah so i've never been to one
i don't feel they're really aimed at me
or just people
that are good robot restaurant is
fun exciting interesting a bit
ridiculous
i've been there many times over the
years and it's changed quite a lot it
used to be like a burlesque kind of
style show
and the first time i went i was the only
foreigner in the room back in 2012 when
it just opened and it was just loads of
japanese salarymen just waving glow
sticks i went two years later to show
you some friends
and i swear to god i think i saw about
two
japanese people in the room 200
foreigners because it's become one of
the most popular
destinations for foreign tourists in in
tokyo and in japan i think
and it was not as good i think it was
very dumbed down family-friendly fun but
it was still quite cool like all the
friends i've taken to it over the years
and i've been two or three times they
always love it they always enjoy it
and at the end of the day that's what
you want isn't it yeah enjoyment and
excitement
sorry rabbit restaurant i see videos of
robot restaurant i think it looks
amazing and like super fun
it's expensive so i do i don't i've
never been
don't get the bento either it's not good
i keep on hearing that the bento sucks
okay top tips from abroad in japan get
the strong zero
drink it's quite fun if you're a little
bit drunk as well
and it's got like really awkward english
voiceovers oh good
i have lots of characters like the big
dinosaur robot and they have like these
these
people act like they're villagers in the
town and they're having fun and there's
a big voices a big voiceover comes over
the speakers saying
this village looks so peaceful let's
trash it and then this big giant robot
dinosaur comes in through the wall and
just eats everyone oh my god and for
that alone it's worth the price of entry
yeah okay that made cafes can't even
like
that yeah that's good okay a village
being trashed by a
dinosaur what more do you need for a
night out okay robot restaurant
it's just a bit too blended into one the
flavors aren't distinct was hiroshima
style i
just found there's a lot more flavors
going on i used to feel the same way and
then i changed my
mind changing your mind
um yeah i went to osaka a bunch i know
that you know it's it's the same kind of
doughy business happening but the the
different kinds of toppings that you can
add in the different kinds of sources
that
different shops specialize in like i
love adding mochi to it right that's one
of my favorite things that little
stringy chewiness is so good but
i don't think you can do that with
hiroshima style maybe you can
i don't know if i'm in hiroshima i'll
eat that style for me no suck i eat that
style
i just i just love the theatrics of
hiroshima style true
true because you know you go to
hiroshima yeah and they layer it on
right they put their batter down they
start layering with like cabbage and
noodles and things and you can watch it
slowly kind of get layered and built up
before you and the very kind of
nice theatrical way and that kind of
gets you excited for the meal while
you're waiting and watching
so i think for the theatrical quality
and the the taste
um i'd say hiroshima style okay i'm
gonna say osaka style probably because i
haven't had hiroshima style in a while
and osaka right now is very dear to my
heart
[Music]
just have way more memories way more
good night style i love
night time photography and osaka for me
is the best place to do
nighttime photography it's just like got
a more grittier lived-in quality to
tokyo right tokyo's got almost just
clean sterility to it which is great but
for photos you want something a bit
grittier
a bit dirtier and got that kind of real
blade runner feel the lights
the lights the lights in osaka it just
it's a completely different vibe i yeah
i really love it
and it has a really they call it the
kitchen of japan right so it's you know
food's bloody amazing kyoto's cool but
you probably know what i'm gonna say
crowds yeah i'm sure that there's a side
of kyoto that i haven't seen
because i go there and i i you know do a
lot of the touristy stuff and then
even a bit of the two stuff it's still
pretty crowded but i'm sure that there's
a side to it that i haven't seen
have you ever been i don't want to do it
too dirty have you been to a
philosopher's path
go to philosopher's path harry potter
book
chris broad in the future no there's a
really nice
little kind of stream down the side of
kyoto in between
certain temples and you can kind of
follow that and there's not that many
people okay
and that's nice you can think about
philosophy you can have an ice cream
it's brilliant and that's nice because
it's just a little bit more quiet i
think
the problem is with kyoto right you want
to have that profound sense of
wonder just sitting at a temple and
relaxing and enjoying it but you just
can't i remember the
ginkakuji temple just standing in the
queue and you're going one at a time
one at a time people gradually edging
forwards and you take a photo
and it's like okay the exit's there it's
just like i don't feel anything
i think with osaka you expect the city
and you find something a bit more
peaceful but with kyoto you expect
something peaceful and you get a
ridiculous amount of people and
it's it's not as peaceful as it should
be so at the same time you know becoming
japan
for the first time the trip probably
wouldn't be complete without a trip to
kyoto
and seeing a lot of these places the
architecture is superb
and if you go to places like the fushimi
inari shrines on a quiet day it's
actually really nice and
cool high enough there's not so many
people a lot of people give up along the
way they
so be healthy and he will enjoy kyoto
more
you go to the monkey park monkey park is
pretty fun and the best view of kyoto
is from the monkey park i'm gonna go for
daiso because although you can get an
amazing variety at don quixote that's so
cool
it's expensive it's i think that donkey
hotel really
racks up the prices i think don
quixote's uh jack of all trades but
master of none like i take friends to
don quixote it's like a tourist
attraction for me
yeah particularly one in shibuya which
is massive and never ending and you can
get every flavor of kit kat known to man
there but
we never buy anything we just go oh look
at that it's called kitkats oh tango oh
things like yeah but daiso actually go
there and i buy things quite a lot
yeah um so daiso is more practical and
useful and also
i find there's a lot more funny english
in dicer definitely like i've made a lot
of um
kind of funny japanese english videos
over the years just finding strange
english and daisy's the front runner for
that if you want to find some
get into daiso yeah so i guess exciting
touristy
wow there's so much crazy stuff but
don't really want to buy anything don
quixote
if you want to buy stuff there is it's
still cool as a tourist attraction i
think if you don't have daiso in your
home
country yeah it's like you get so many
cheap souvenirs and like japan
exclusives it always amazes me what you
get for 100 yen
you'll be amazed too
[Music]
yeah i mean i i don't really go to
either i don't do shopping as much
i've spent more time in ginza over the
years but i find ginger's
a little bit sterile the streets are
really wide and clean and dull
i feel like goons is very high-end and
spaced apart so if you want to get
anywhere it's like you have to walk
really far and you're passing by a lot
of you know nameless buildings or like
your something it just feels like a
generic american north american or
you know european large city yeah
whereas
you have like the main street which is
you know all high-end but down the
alleyways there's so much to find
there's all the cafes and
like just quirky stores you know there's
a good there's a few good burgers
yeah yeah yeah that like the side alleys
in the montesando are really great
that's true yeah i would definitely say
i love getting lost down there yeah 100
sunday i can't afford ginger anyway yeah
anything
yeah beyond yeah ridiculous
spread it away yeah squared away better
in it
i watched stories too yeah i watched
your name um
and you know i think it's good i think
if your name is like a an anime but with
spirited away i feel of it
it's it's art i don't know like your
name is beautiful we're spirited away as
well as like the story and
the art and everything it's just it's an
artwork yeah just the world that's
imagined the characters spirited away
[Music]
universal studios is my answer for fuji
highland i was going to say that you
hate fun
but i don't hate fun i love harry potter
world at usj i got the butter beer
i walked around hogwarts it's magical oh
it's like about home in the uk
oh butterbeer like my mom used to make
it's just like i feel like i'm at harry
potter world all over again
right now so disney c i once i went
there with my sister once many years ago
because she'd come over to japan and i
was like disney c looks great everyone's
always raved about it
and we went there queued for like two
rides i remember one ride
took three and a half hours to keep
forth it was 20 000 leagues
under the sea it was i don't know if we
can swear on tc so i won't but it was
i didn't hate it i keep it three and a
half hours the ride was about 40 seconds
long and i was like why would i come
here
it's the worst day you need some hot
emma tips that's that's all i need to
say it wasn't a busy day it was like
march as well why did you go
wait league's under the disappointment
what was the other idea well the whole
part was just full
i remember you said it wasn't a busy day
in the park it wasn't
it was a not so busy day but it was
still extremely busy
because when you build a theme park in
the heart of the world's biggest city
it's never going to be not busy but
somehow universal studios the cues
aren't half as bad i felt
that's true universal studios is more
like a chill experience
but i prefer disneysea still i like
universal studios but it was just it
felt
empty disney city no universal studios
yes
you get out yeah this is my house harry
potter world that was do i need to say
anymore good except i'm terrified of
that ride
which one the um the spiders and there's
a dragon
oh no i thought you meant the one where
there's a roller coaster where you're
strapped in and then they they turn it
like that so you'll face down and then
you find
a dinosaur one that's not harry potter
whatever that's all the same to me
dinosaur there are no dinosaurs in harry
potter jurassic park harry potter it's
basically the same film
you're gonna get decided you want the
best theme park ever
fuji highland park the rise of the
biggest
the best in japan and you've got mount
fuji on your doorstep you can actually
see mount fuji's who like join the
rights and
it's just the best handstand
