so you're thinking of going to Tokyo but you don't want to be the average source but 35
million people it's the largest city in the world these are my hidden secrets and best places to
visit starting with the syndicate district kick off your Tokyo adventure at memory lane
also known as the piss alley a tiny hidden back alley next to Shinjuku Station where you can try
the most delicious meat skewers in Tokyo and if you don't mind going hardcore try the raw well
meat and raw horse meat people are extremely friendly here like these girls from Kyoto that
wanted to join our adventure through town these things can happen out of the blue in Japan next
make your way to the red-light district known as Kabukicho consider stopping by the insane
robot restaurant for the most ridiculous show in Japan on the east end of Kabukicho you will
find the golden guy a conglomerate of the tiniest bars you've ever seen sitting no more than five
people per bar in some cases there are 257 bars to discover so start your night early
now my favourite hidden secret here is the best karaoke room in Tokyo located at the top floor of
she rocks karaoke in Shinjuku but first choose a costume this is a exclusive room with a gigantic
floor-to-ceiling window and mesmerizing views of shinjuku and boy can you party here super
fresh beer and tasty snacks but you do have to go with a big group to gain access to this room
for a classy night out head over to the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt Hotel this hotel
bar is featured in the movie lost in translation the New York Bar has breathtaking views of the
financial district of Tokyo and there's often an awesome jazz band playing at 8:00 p.m. and
if you're a sneaky as I am you may find your way to the famous rooftop pool the parasite museum
the only parasite illogical museum in the world for the true Nerds among us admission is free
and you won't find this place in your average tourist guide check out the severed turtle head
showcasing a parasite takeover and the parasite life cycles in humans these are so nasty Oh
venture out west to the Koenji district here I meet up with local friends for some drinks
and laughs we unquenching and this is a local tradition drink this year and then order more
alcohol you get the picture I personally love this area now if you're lost just ask around
for the local celebrity doc kocha everybody knows her and don't leave without trying the
quail eggs on a stick like chewy eggs Japan has a deep-seated drinking culture called no Makai
it is mandatory to go drinking with clients after work which doesn't always end pretty
kickoff Harajuku had some shopping in the cat street area try to avoid the super touristy to
catch the Dori Street if you can how did you who has the most extreme fashion culture in
the world with a few misfits here and there but also unique architecture and even little handmade
candy shops don't forget to stop by cafe crepe la foret for the ultimate crepe experience get
yourself the custard banana chocolate crepe and go to heaven this is definitely a highlight in
Harajuku or grab some food at the brand-new kawaii monster cafe across the street even
on a budget you can find fun things to do and how to do food but if you're completely broke
hit up the free karaoke room called kawaii karaoke in which if you end up scoring more
than 90% you will end up receiving a free crate but trust me it's harder than you may think
so yes Japan has the best fashion most notable in the Shibuya district you cannot go to Japan
without going to Shibuya 109 an all-girl 10-story department store and Shibuya 109 men's which is
an eight-story ole man department store right across from it which is my personal favorite
for the latest fashion now if you come to Japan in August you can enjoy the annual
compass summit where you can watch the world's latest Japanese youth and gyaru fashion shows
now you won't find any tourists at campus summit because all their advertising is in Japanese but
I will explain how I can get to all these places near the end of this video so stay tuned and if
you really want to venture out you can meet the gyaru girls in person venture agora cafe
in the heart of Shibuya open until 5:00 a.m. and make sure to try some of their weird snack
hammamet's ooh that's good delicious actually we also offers cute and unique restaurants like
boom soul in the Ikebukuro district stop by namja town for the wackiest ice cream
flavors in the world ranging from Indian curry basil to shark fin coal and even beef tongue
or pick up an art flavored KitKat bar from the KitKat store the Japanese love their kid cats
the Japanese don't just party they party very hard until 5:00 a.m. so I recommend getting Newcomb
mochi Cara and the convenience store prior to drinking just prevents you from having a
hangover that smells like cough syrup tastes like cough syrup yeah that's good all right so now we
can go drinking making friends in the streets of Tokyo is extremely easy just be polite respectful
and you will go a long way I'm here at open cha for a good night out I recommend nightclubs tea
to vision and Camelot in Shibuya and new lacs Jumanji 55 and Mews in Roppongi but beware most
locals do not speak English so hit them books and start studying son whoa wait a minute now you
cannot leave Japan without trying the Japanese Wagyu beef world's priciest and most delicious
beef I recommend taka fuku at Haneda Airport now just to show the difference on the left is
a regular steak and on the right the Wagyu beef these pieces will melt on the tip of your tongue
due to the high level of fat marbling just melt someone the addresses to all these locations can
