hey guys still just getting the studio
set up here bear with me for now the
rainy season has just hit Tokyo so I
thought this would be a perfect
opportunity to cover 25 things to do in
Tokyo in the rain we're gonna go really
quick and do these kind of rapid-fire
modes so hang tight jumping in right off
the bat with one of my favorites there
is a place called trampoline land you
heard it
trampoline land I think the name speaks
for itself so we're gonna go onto the
next one which is two still wildly
undiscovered Tokyo underground from
Tokyo Station all the way to Ginza
there's an entire underground shopping
paradise there's also one similar in
Shinjuku I did a video on it I will link
it right up here the rainy weather is
also a perfect opportunity to check out
areas like Nakano Broadway which is
again an otaku or shopping paradise or
basically any covered arcade there's
also a lot of covered arcade streets in
areas like a sucks
and speaking of arcade game centers and
arcades are a fantastic thing to do to
pass the time on a rainy day and
speaking of game centers you can also
make your way out to Akihabara I didn't
know this until my little brother came
to visit but a lot of those shops
actually have like six seven eight
floors of stuff to explore Akihabara is
great recently similar to overseas
escape rooms have become really popular
in Japan so those are a great option
some of them even have English escape
room games and rainy days are an amazing
chance to check out an onsen or send to
like a public bath there's even a really
good one in Odaiba which is like an
onsen theme park Japan also has amazing
indoor game in sport centers where you
can do things like bowling batting one
of my favorites is round one you can
find places like this kind of on the
outskirts of Tokyo or in areas like
Odaiba now Odaiba itself is an amazing
place to be there's no shortage of
shopping centers in places to explore
with in Odaiba in fact a really good one
to look into to see if there's any
events is the Tokyo Big Sight they
always have anime conventions in store
you can take a look at
Karimi say in chiba it's a little bit
outside of tokyo but they also hold a
lot of great events
now while museums and galleries might
not be for everybody teen labs has done
that really fancy one that we've
definitely all seen on YouTube or
Instagram with all the crazy lights and
mirrors everywhere so that's a great one
to check out if you can get in or you
can just kick back and go to a movie
mind you from this month June of 2019
they actually raise movie prices just
slightly for the first time in something
like 20 years so if you reversed the
price another option is to go check out
an internet cafe where you can get like
your own private little booth sit down
you got a computer you can watch movies
Netflix or whatever you want they also
have drink machine and some of the good
ones even have all-you-can-eat
self-serve ice cream or miso soup now
the towers are an obvious choice Tokyo
Tower is pretty good it does have a
shopping area and whatnot in there the
view won't be great I personally prefer
going out to Sky Tree and at the base of
the Sky Tree there's an area called soda
matcha which is just basically an entire
shopping and adventure town it's worth
checking out if you haven't been there
for those who love to sing cuddle gaze
obviously a good option and I've heard
that libraries are a great way to spend
a rainy day in Tokyo I've never been to
one myself but I have a friend who says
that rainy days are for the library now
with in areas like EK boo kudos sunshine
city you can find things like the namja
town theme park and probably the best
part of that entire place is the weird
flavored ice creams that they have there
you can try like snake flavor and
scorpion sand is a whole bunch its knee
or and this one's more for residents
than visitors you can hit up one of the
big box stores like IKEA or if you have
a membership Costco I still don't even
have a Costco membership I need to get
one of those now for photographers this
is a perfect opportunity to take a day
trip out to West Tokyo or even outside
of Tokyo cuz this is where you're gonna
get the beautiful foggy rainy mountain
shots or even just stick around Tokyo
and get some of those beautiful night
shots or the water reflecting the neon
lights of the cities one of my favorite
things to do one that I didn't think of
but my buddy Taylor tried a little while
back is something like a workshop or a
cooking class there's no shortage of
different classes available in Tokyo and
they're all online
easy to find so maybe go out for the day
and learn something a little bit of a
unique one some temples and shrines have
like one day kind of meditation style
event that you can partake in that make
to be really interesting experiences for
people who haven't done it before a
personal favorite of mine is go check
out a sumo match if you have not done so
already
sumo is a great way to spend the day but
it's obviously gonna be kind of seasonal
and they don't do them year-round
bar-hopping is a great option I'm gonna
leave a video right here about different
areas to drink in a suck set in case you
want to check it out and the last one
number 25 is to enjoy a quiet lunch in a
fancy place
places like Abbey's Garden Place Tower
the 38th and 39th floor have gorgeous
restaurants that a dinner are very
expensive but during lunch time are
relatively cheap like ten to fifteen
dollars or a thousand to fifteen hundred
yen and on rainy days they tend to be a
lot quieter and easier to get into if
you really break them apart there's
probably more like 30 or 40 things to do
in there but I hope it helps I did do a
video like this a couple of years ago
but this kind of content feels like it
should be more short form so that you
can just get some ideas so I hope you
enjoyed this one if you did definitely
give that like button some love if
you're new to the channel I'd say
subscribe but go check out one or two
more videos I love a good binge I'm
gonna get back to trying to get this
place set up so I will see you guys
again real soon
