today I'm going to be giving you 17 things to do in Tokyo and there's definitely going to be some
things in this video that you haven't heard of before Tokyo is the most populated city in
the world with over 37 million people and it has a huge expanse with so much to do and see
and you're going to need at least four days in the city at least four days Tokyo is very well
connected with two big international airports hanida and Narito with Narita being further
out the city but well connected with the Narita Airport Express train Tokyo is the best connected
City that I've ever been to with public transport literally reaching every street of the city not
quite every street but just keep in mind there is so many Metro lines so many different train lines
that it can get a bit confusing and overwhelming just use Google Maps little tip there now enough
of the boring stuff in no particular order that start with number one is the karaoke Ferris wheel
you get 10 to 15 minutes on the ride which is called the Big O where you can sing your heart
out to loads of different songs with your friends looking around Tokyo honestly it's such a great
experience and it costs 850 Yen if you would like to do this it is based in the Tokyo dome which is
like an amusement park right in the middle of the city now number two is Mount Fuji you cannot go to
Tokyo or Japan in general without visiting Mount Fuji and I know it's not actually in the city of
Tokyo obviously the most popular way to do this is via a day trip and you can do these from Tokyo
and I'll leave a link to some in the description below when you go on the day trip you will visit
the famous spots around Fuji which you've seen on Instagram with the beautiful temples now if
you want to do something different me and my friends actually rented a car in the Fuji area
and we explored around honestly this is the less touristy way to do it so if you want to avoid the
crowds and not go on these day trips then you can actually take a few days and stay the night around
Fuji area now number three is memory lane also known as omodo yokocho probably pronounced that
completely wrong if you walk down here you go down these small narrow streets with loads of little
restaurants and bars either side the smells the atmosphere is incredible and it gets super busy
at night but honestly if you can wait in line and wait for the experience it looks amazing
unfortunately we didn't eat there because it was just so busy Memory Lane is based in
Shinjuku but another spot which is really good for food and drink in Shinjuku is golden guy and
there's 220 little bars there which you can go and eat and drink at and get that same kind of
experience now moving on to number four and this is not something to do in Tokyo but something I
highly recommend and that is getting nordvpn and I'll show you an incredible hack of why you need
it as you probably already know a VPN protects your data and allows you to change the country
it looks like you're in this works with lots of stuff but let's see how it can work with YouTube
premium as you can see when I'm not connected to a VPN it shows that YouTube premium costs 11.99
as right now I'm in the UK however if you change your location to Argentina with no VPN then it's
only going to cost you one pound 35 live now that is just a ridiculous deal and before you
say it no VPN only costs a few pounds a month so even with both subscriptions you're still saving
a lot of money and that's not even mentioned the countless other benefits nor VPN have a special
sale on right now so click the top Link in the description to get yourself no VPN now number
five is probably the most iconic building in all of Japan and that is the Tokyo Tower the streets
around the Tokyo Tower are beautiful especially in cherry blossom season take those famous Instagram
shots one thing I would not recommend is going up the Tokyo Tower and you know why because if
you go up the Tokyo Tower you're not going to see the Tokyo Tower and that leads on to
the next one number six of where you should view the Tokyo Tower from now number six is Roppongi
Hills which is probably the best Viewpoint in the city or maybe the second best but here you
get incredible views of the Tokyo Tower unlike if you are up the Tokyo Tower to go up rockongi
hills you need to book in advance a we used clip and I'll leave a link to it in the description it
costs 13 which is a pretty good deal you go up to this glass viewing gallery and get expansive
views over the city however something which a lot of people miss out is if you spend an extra 500
yen you can go up to the helicopter pad on the top roof deck it is brilliant and obviously you
are outside now number seven is if you coming to Japan you cannot miss out on eating sushi
and that's why number seven is go to a sushi train restaurant we went to this Sushi Train
restaurant in Shibuya and honestly it was so much fun and actually very very affordable you order
your sushi from this iPad and it gets taken to you on this conveyor belt and you just pick it up and
eat as much Sushi as you can per plate it only costs 130 Yen so it's really affordable and such
a fun experience to do in Japan now number eight is a free Viewpoint and it is not the best view
in the city however it is free and so if you're in the area because it is based in Shinjuku then
why not go up it the building is called the Tokyo Metropolitan in government building and it's 202
meters and you can actually see Mount Fuji in the distance if it's a clear day now number nine is
one of Amelia's and myself's favorite things we did in all of Japan and that is the team allowed
planets this is immersive art experience where you're in this museum for two hours and you take
your socks and shoes off and you go up to water Knee Deep I know this is sounding real weird but
you just have to do it because it's such a cool kind of sensory experience and you're not going to
know what I'm on about unless you do it teamlab planets books are well in advance because it
is super popular we've booked on cluck and I'll leave a link to it in the description just make
sure you do it when you're in Tokyo now number 10 is something super fun and that is sumo wrestling
you can actually go watch sumo wrestlers have a little fight and push each other outside the
ring just looking Advanced because they're not on all the time and if they're not on you can
actually do like a sumo wrestling match yourself and like wrestle people I'll leave that in the
description if you want to do that looks good fun now number 11 is Shibuya Crossing and this
is known as the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world make sure you visit a night because
it is super busy super colorful and it feels kind of like the Times Square of Tokyo Shibuya is also
a great place to go out at night because there's loads of different bars clubs arcades all that
kind of stuff so go to Shibuya at night and you're going to have a good evening now before we move
on if you haven't already please go down and hit that subscribe button if this has given you any
value it will help me out and all you need to do is hit subscribe now number 12 is something
super fun that you're probably going to want to do this in about 30 seconds time so in Tokyo you can
actually drive Mario Karts around the streets of Tokyo and yes this is a real thing you can do it
and I'll leave a link in the description basically you drive around the neon streets of Tokyo in this
little carts like you're in a real live Mario Kart game unfortunately is quite expensive and you do
need an international driving license if you are going to do this which is why I couldn't do it but
just keep that in mind and make sure you get your IDP International driving license now number 13
is something you'll realize a lot when you get to Japan and that is that vending machines are
absolutely everywhere I'm talking every street or even more than every street sometimes you just get
an army of vending machines in front of you with selling all kinds of things if you look quite hard
you can actually find some very interesting vending machines selling ice creams goyozas
loads of different stuff a couple of places in Tokyo actually have a rhyming vending machine
restaurant we did this and basically you choose the ramen you want on the vending machine you get
get this ticket and you give it to the chef and they cook up that exact Ramen for you now number
14 is not going to be for everyone because this has to be a specific time of the year which we
were lucky enough to go at and that is the cherry blossom season if you are going in cherry blossom
season it is beautiful if you are there peak times Tokyo is an incredible place to be you might think
it's just a built up city but it's actually got loads of cherry blossom and lovely parks to go
see it if you go to one of the parks right in the middle of the city you can actually get a little
boat and go around the stream and be amongst the cherry blossom now one thing to mention if you
are going to Japan in cherry blossom season it is the most touristy time of the year in Japan
and so it is going to be extremely busy make sure you book an advance restaurants hotels transport
viewpoints activities because things will book up in advance especially at that time of the year
cherry blossom season changes each time every year so just look at dates in January because they kind
of get released and then hopefully you can get the right dates now a little plug from me bear with me
if you want to save some money on hotels then you can actually use my very own hotel booking website
and the best thing is these are wholesale rates so you can actually get some incredible saving deals
which are way better than a go to booking.com Expedia so if you want to save some money and
also help support me then use this booking website so other people have booked already and they've
saved money if you want to have a look I'll leave the hotel booking website below now number 15 is
go to senjoji Temple this is an ancient Buddhist temple in asakusa in Tokyo I've definitely got
that name wrong it's Tokyo's oldest Temple and one of the most significant and it opened way back in
645 A.D walking around the streets near San joji Temple is honestly feels like you've been thrown
back in time so different to the other modern parts of Tokyo now number 16 is Attenborough
and this is the bright lights shopping district of Tokyo which is famous for its electronic retailers
specialized is in manga anime and video games Japanese arcades are honestly so much fun and we
went to quite a few in Tokyo but we also went to a very special one in Osaka and that's called round
one stadium and you basically get for 18 three hours of Unlimited Arcade games and basically 50
different sports including archery 10 Pin bowling like baseball so much stuff you just have to go
I know it's not Tokyo but it's in Osaka if you go in Osaka just go it's great value and so much fun
now number 17 we have come to the last thing you should do in Tokyo and that is going to be the
best Viewpoint in Tokyo shabuya sky this is super modern and feels like kind of futuristic Viewpoint
you basically go up this elevator with like lights and you come up to this glass Viewpoint and it is
incredible you can also take elevators up the side looking down at the very famous Shibuya Crossing
honestly it's a great viewpoint which you can see the whole of the city and even Mount Fuji
