welcome to my first Tokyo day trip
travel guide I'm going to show you
around beautiful colleague away only a
30 minute train ride from central Tokyo
even though it's close to Japan's city
that never sleeps
you'll feel like you've traveled pretty
far with the traditional temples and
shrines to the old souvenir shops kala
GUI harnesses the charm of places like
Kyoto full of history and exciting
information from the past chaotic this
trip was a bit of a challenge I decided
to try and get around my day trip using
illy translator a translation device
great for travelers who need a little
help
wandering around an unknown Japan
hotspot your dogs are so cute I didn't
speak Japanese the whole entire trip so
let's get right into the video and see
how it goes
[Music]
hey guys I'm in college boys today and
I'm with Billy and we're going to walk
around cowboy and beat some shrines I
got my bus ticket but let's go our first
mission was to find the most popular
place to end up we asked several people
with the translator and found a guide
that was willing to put illy to the test
[Music]
okay thank you very much so the lady at
the information counter said to go to
Kudo no machi I thought it was food oh
no machi which is a coup d'etat Watchi
so we're gonna go there but first we're
gonna take the loop bus and go to some
shrines
check them out we got our mat so let's
go for we stopped at college I
supposedly popular kuta no machi we made
our first pit stop at keep dying temple
it was thought to have been founded in
850 ad and it was supported by Shogun
Ieyasu the man who closed Japan to the
outside world the cherry blossoms were
blooming at this time which made the
temple of pink paradise
[Music]
but the thing to check out here are the
500 con which are lifelike stone statues
created by artists despite japan
separation from the outside world
each stone statue has its own
personality which makes this display
most unique it was about lunchtime and I
wanted to know what the most popular
food at this festival was so I use illy
translator to help me and so we were on
a quest for dango there is one stand at
the entrance so we headed over there to
grab some dango is basically made of
mochi rice balls with a soy sauce and
salty flavor they also sold things like
sweet potato and drinks it looks so good
I'm so excited I'm gonna share it with
my friends I don't know about you but I
will never get tired of temples I know
I've said this before but I feel like so
much of the culture runs through my
blood when I visit Zen places like these
so much history and one building just
always amazes me every single time and
I'm also very in touch with my
surroundings so I can feel every piece
of what Japan has to offer with Ilya
translator in hand I asked a guide
stationed at this temple how old it
actually was
the next must-see stop before CUDA no
machi is hiko astraying this shrine is
well known for relationships and
matchmaking this shrine is a thousand
five hundred years old and has more than
one way to improve your luck
romantically one of those ways is
catching a good luck koi fish Oh
Japanese I honestly didn't understand
what my fortune was so I search for
someone who I could ask Fixodent I am
very happy to say that I got the best
fortune you can learn and experience so
much on a day-trip we couldn't see
everything here in one day so I
definitely would love to make another
trip back so we're heading to kuta no
machi now which is a very old town in
Cabo Goa and it's supposed to represent
the 800 period we grabbed a quick bite
to eat before exploring the old shops
down kuta no machi Kuna no machi
represents Japan's Edo period kuda
meaning warehouse and machi meaning
street back in the day this street was a
successful commercial town the merchants
here became so rich that they built
their very own shops I recently had this
big love for Japanese roasted green tea
and when I saw a shop for it I wanted to
purchase a bag to take home oh look at
this
so cute Fujita I love ho tea time I met
a woman who worked at the tea shop who
noticed illy translator from a TV
commercial she got so excited
I was able to purchase my tea and I was
so happy
caligo a is also known for its a large
amount of sweet potato foods Japanese
sweet potato is one of my favorite
things to eat in Japan if you love
museums caligo a has it's very own the
wooden structures they used in their
festivals are on display the movie is
all in Japanese but the images pretty
much says it all it's chaotic
[Music]
walking further down the road we came to
his Street also known as candy Street
full of traditional snacks and souvenirs
for all to enjoy this street was my
favorite place in Calgary so far there
was so much to look at and try I noticed
people were carrying large lengthy boxes
with what looked like a sweet potato on
steroids it turns out it's a spongy
bread like lightweight sweet potato
snack and it's Teleca way specialty
[Music]
Joshua who that's okay
so it's it's a ginormous piece of bread
illy had served me well this trip if I
do say so myself
it was definitely difficult not being
able to speak Japanese since I have
studied it for so long but it was nice
to get a feel of what it's like to be a
traveler that doesn't know the language
coffee looks good oh it smells good in
here
ending our day with coffee was the
cherry on top
Kawika way is definitely a Tokyo day
trip gem I didn't know much about it
before but now I do and I will
definitely come back for more since
there's just so much to see I hope you
enjoyed this day trip to Cabo go away
