If you are travelling to Tokyo and want to know where to go,
what to eat and want to keep things as cheap as possible then this is the video for you
It's one of the greatest cities in the world Stay tuned for Things to do in Tokyo
Here we are in Tokyo.
It really is the city of lights in can be quite overwhelming
So many places to go, so many places to eat We are going to show you the top things to
do in Tokyo Come along for the ride
We start with a must see for all visitors The famous Shibuya crossing located just outside
Shibuya Station.
We recommend coming here after the sun goes down so that way you get the full effect
with the neon lights and screens on the buildings all lit up while you try and navigate
your way through the hundreds of people trying to cross this iconic intersection
why not make your way to a Sushi train!
Sushi Train, it;s so fun you see the food whizzing up and down. Is it mine?
Japan is all about sushi and they do it better than anywhere else in the world.
Going to a sushi train is not only an amazing eating experience but also highly
entertaining and a great introduction to Japanese food.
See if you can beat our plate mountain.
How many plates of sushi can you get through?!
Don quijote is an insanely cheap store with absolutley everything you can think of
and is a perfect chance to pick up some cheap souvenirs from your trip
Hi guys we are trying Wagyu beef for the first time here in Japan
Yakiniku means grilled meat in Japanese.
But what you get is much more than your average meat thrown on a grill
The texture and flavour will make you wish you chose an
all you can eat option which at this particular place you can
And the beef just looks so yummy Give it a few dips in a few different things
yummy It's just so yummy
Just melts in your mouth it's fatty but not too intensely greasy fat
Hard to explain but if you come to Japan definitely one of the things to eat is wagyu beef
Look at these great cuts of meat.
Yakiniku is definitely a must eat food while you are traveling Japan.
Absolutely Mouth watering
One of the great things to do in Tokyo is to go to Shibuya
there is just so much happening as you can see, Even on new years day
alot of things were a bit more closed but at night everything has reopened
It's just so much happening Lights everywhere
It can be very overwhelming here in Tokyo but the best thing that i think you should
do is just walk around
walk around and stumble into places get lost
go down alleyways forget about your gps, forget about your wifi, just walk and have a great time
Now Head out to eat some Yakitori!
Its a delicious chicken skewer snack food here in Japan
Look how yummy that looks
He we go we are going to give this a go, the chicken skewer
In Asakusa you will find Sensoji which is Tokyos oldest temple and very sacred to Japanese culture.
Here we are at Asakusa and have a look at the temple behind me
it looks absolutely amazing this is a must visit place here in Tokyo
how did you feel?
I don't know, i felt like i just tossed in some money
How much?
Like 1 korean won so maybe i don't get so much luck
A good tip here is to throw a 5 yen coin in as that is more lucky for your wish.
Hopefully your wish will come true
We are just at Asakusa.
Actually this is one destination me and nick didn't think about because we are not really into traditional stuff
but being here actually made me think it was a great choice coming here
all these places look so beautiful
there are lots of shops down there
while we were coming here we bought some snacks and especially this new year time there are
lots of people I guess this is a famous shrine
and i guess a lot of Japanese people celebrate new year in Asakusa
The structure really does look unbelievable up close and at night
with it all lit up it really is a beautiful temple.
With so many people around it is an interesting place to see how
people spiritually interact in this environment.
So make sure to come here not only to take in the amazing views but to also
take part and join in on the little rituals before heading up the steps of the temple.
It’s a great way to escape for a few hours the city streets of Tokyo and take in this wonderful place
While you are here also make sure to wander
the surrounding streets.
Here you will find not only great restaurants but also plenty of street food to choose from.
If you are looking for more souvenirs or just generally love to
shop then on a direct path to the temple you should pass through Shin Nakamise shopping Street
And even closer to the temple you have heaps
of shops to keep you busy before you arrive there.
Who doesn’t love the shiba inu.
The cutest dogs ever.
The shops seem never ending near the temple but you have to
leave at some point so let’s get moving onto our next stop
With the nickname Electric town here is where you will find all your electronic needs.
Also famous for being the hub of Anime culture, Akihabara is a must visit while you are here
in Toyko.
It’s also the perfect place to for a go at the claw machine
While in Tokyo you will notice these machines everywhere.
Make sure to throw in some coins and have a go.
It’s great fun and could be the perfect souvenir with the story to go with it.
In this case it was a fail
While in Akihabara also take advantage of the free games you will see in some stores.
We found one with Mariokart set up just outside on the street.
Now all that gaming must have made you hungry
so stop into a eatery and try some Kaisen don
A trip to Tokyo isn’t complete without taking a visit to the tsukiji fish market.
There are free samples at some stalls and you can get
some bargain prices for really good quality food.
There are many restaurants at the markets however
we highly recommend trying fresh seafood straight from the food stalls.
Rachel loves her oysters so she found the biggest she could find at this stall.
Here you can buy salmon straight away from the place and eat it straight up
So let's try this
mmm yum
it's very fresh very yummy There are many other types of food here
so make sure to try the breakfast omelette.
For only 100 yen it’s a great cheap eat in Tokyo and will
help you save some precious savings for the rest of your trip.
Here we are at the fish market in Tokyo Japan We've got our egg on a stick
Steaming and nice and hot
mmm yummy
This is only 100 yen you can't go wrong
very yummy warms you up in a nice cold winter
very yum Another great thing to do while in Tokyo
Come see the fishmarket
Take a ride to Nakano Station and a short
walk away is Nakano Broadway.
A shopping complex becoming more and more well known for its anime items up for sale.
We highly recommend coming here not just as an alternative to
Akihabara as Nakano Broadway is unique in it’s own way
Always remember to also look down surrounding streets for
all popular places in Tokyo as it’s a great tip in finding cool areas.
Also close to Nakano Station ia Maguro Mart - A restaurant that specialises in all things
tuna.
It’s a quirky little place as you have tuna surrounding you in every sense.
If you like your tuna then this is the place for you.
They serve it in every way and use every part of the tuna.
Each tuna comes served differently and with it’s own unique flavour.
Some you will just dip in the sauces and others you will cook
on your own little personal heating stove This way you get to enjoy the food exactly
how it suits you and it’s a really local place to go and
you will not see many tourists in here.
Another great place to hang out is the gado shita in shimbashi
Here we are in Shimbashi, come follow me
So this area is where they have all the izakayas
underneath the railway tracks
It's called Gado Shita
This is pretty much the area that you will find all the japanese businessmen
to eat their food
In between Shimbashi and Yurakucho stations you will find the Gado -Shita Izakayas.
It’s a street lined with izakayas underneath the railway tracks.
In an Izakaya in Tokyo in Shimbashi everything is happening
Even a celebrity has walked through the door apparently an actor
First we are going to order some beer and we are having some snacks too from the
menu the vibe of an izakaya is really good
definitely come to an azkaya when you are in Tokyo it's amazing
While in an Izakaya make sure to order one
of the most common drinks in Japan, Shochu.
It’s an alcoholic beverage and you can get it in many forms including in cocktails.
If fashion is your thing or if you are into all things hipster then Shimokitazawa
is a must visit place on your Tokyo trip.
They are so many great cheap vintage stores here which are perfect
to pick out your new tokyo vintage look for when you head back home.
It’s also a good place to get some secondhand Uniqlo heat tech for the colder weather.
Some of the stores can be incredibly cheap and you can pick out some great bargains.
We absolutely love our coffee so we were very keen to try out
Japanese style coffee so we found this cute place called Bookends coffee service.
It’s a cute little cafe displaying records and playing soft relaxing pop music.
The cafe is quite small but has huge charm and the coffee is
very japanese style so you can get a more local experience while in this great hipster
suburb.
We stayed here for sometime just chilling out after our shopping walks through Shimokitazawa.
Ramen.
It’s one of the most famous and well known dishes in Japan.
We are in Ichiban Ramen and this place is so cool
this little door we can open it up
so now we are together, isn't that nice
Not only is the Ramen one of the best in Tokyo
but it also gives you a unique experience with it’s ordering style as you circle your
preferred style of Ramen to cater to your own particular tastes.
It can be a hard choice at times.
The setup is unique in that if you come alone here you will feel
very comfortable hidden away while you enjoy your meal
As the ramen comes out from the mysterious chef, the curtain is then
dropped as you enjoy your meal in complete isolation
We've got our Ramen let's taste this broth and see what it's like
ooh very Tokyo Style ramen it's a lot more greasy than the ramen that
we get in Melbourne Let's try this
the noodle is quite thin
yummy
Located at Tokyo train station Character st is a great place to do some window shopping.
We are at Motomura in Tokyo this restaurant
we came here and it was closed so we have come back
and right before our flights we've been waiting for about an hour
i think it's probably another half hour wait to get inside
apparently the beef in here is so delicious so we are waiting
hopefully we can make it before we have to rush off to the airport
fingers crossed Here’s a sneak peek as we didn’t want
to film here much out of respect for people waiting.
For something a bit different head to Moomin Cafe.
Here you will never feel lonely as if you come alone you will
be seated alongside adorable plush characters.
very heavy
she looks angry
Okonomiyaki is an iconic japanese dish and it’s a lot of fun either
having this made in front of you or even trying it yourself.
The flavours are delicious and it’s a great introduction to Japanese
food culture where sometimes dishes are shared and served on a grill directly at your table.
Similar to this is Monjayaki which we also highly recommend.
At this restaurant in Harajuku you can make it yourself and lucky for
us we had Youtubers Emma and Alex from Travel Beans make it for us.
Emma was chopping it up like an expert and it’s a really fun experience
to make your own meal as you can have it to your particular taste and
also learn japanese cooking skills at the same time.
Monjayaki has a very different texture to Okonomiyaki and it runnier
and you use the spatula to eat it.
If you are a fan of animation make sure to head to the Ghibli Museum.
The building itself looks magical and it’s a great place to take the
kids on your Japanese adventure.
During xmas time they have a large Christmas tree out front giving it an extra
magical feel.
I must admit my absolute favourite thing to do in Japan is going to convenience stores.
Unlike other cities in the world, Tokyo convenience stores are amazing.
Hi guys i've got this one
apparently this is very popular among Koreans
it's like a normal roll cake but lots of cream really yummy
7 11 food is so great definitely come to convenience stores for
really cheap eats these triangle rice balls
i'm not sure what they are called but they are really good cheap eats
because they actually fill you up quite alot so this ones Tuna
and this is a Mochi Matcha icecream can't wait
Shinagawa is well known for catching the bullet train but
it’s also a great place to walk around and while you are there check out the food market
at the station.
The meals here are so cheap and are massive and very yummy.
At number 30 we try Japanese lunch in the form of Gyudon.
Ofcourse Tokyo has even more things to do as it’s that kind of city.
The possibilities are endless thanks heaps for watching we hope you enjoyed
