This is Shinjuku Tokyo’s drinking district with thousands of tiny bars that only seat a few people this Ward is the place to go for a big night out but how do you know which bars are the best by going with a local of course and in this video I do

Just that this intestine this is the intestine okay all Right all right there’s my intestine this is not the uterus it’s crispy my face yeah your face I’m sorry I mean it’s crispy it’s not too bad very Chewy though that I think I remember this from um from the Philippines yeah it’s always the same style right and struggling today

This is uterus that he bought for everybody that is very true shrimp it tastes like shrimp yeah tastes like seafood tastes like the octopus I had today um CU it’s very chewy chewy besides that doesn’t have much taste actually just get your jaw ready to chew and it used to

Be so there are all these kind of gaming places like casinos and that is illegal here in Japan so what you can do whenever you win is you can get prizes and then you turn in the prizes at a different place and you can get money so

It’s not in the same place so that’s the way they get around the rules here That game is bigger than my capsule we’re in the same complex just kind of walking through it’s one of the newer entertainment complexes here in Tokyo the second place we’re going to drink like a local today this it’s the second place we’re going to drink like a

Local it’s time for saki we can’t cheers here we have to sip you want me yeah that would be awesome all [Laughter] right awesome this is fermented soy beans and he mentioned it tastes maybe a bit like veggie mice all right let’s try the Japanese veggie mic with ginger and soy

Sauce I definitely don’t taste the veggie mic but oh yeah fermented soybeans with ginger it’s good all right so this is lamb that is really tender spicy Fri spicy Fri there also some cabbage in it me horse meat what horse meat we have horse meat as well it’s raw raw horse

Meat I grew up on a horse farm I am so sorry about what I’m about to do my mother will probably never forgive me it’s from your farm I hope it’s not from our farm we don’t have horses anymore wait that’s yours that’s for your horse

That’s for your horse stop talking to me raw horse meat with ginger sorry sace oh soy sauce okay put some on I need soy sauce first sorry Mom I heard picture it’s fine I think one piece is enough I don’t want to support the trade in forces

Tofu you might wonder where we go from horse but we have some tofu much more my style it’s from the horse farm no everything’s been really delicious even the things that I wouldn’t normally eat that said I have to say the horse was very mild um I could taste the ginger a

Lot more than I could taste the horse which is probably a good thing second glass aaki has arrived Okay we’re in the area surrounding one of the shrines we’re supposed to go see it but it is a festival today so it is super busy and surrounding the shrines are all these street food stalls this area used to be very local but now it’s filled with tourists and this is our last

Stop I’ve already hit a lot of Saki so I’m not sure what I’m going to have at this last stop but um yeah anyway enjoying this tour I miss people we lost them already I will be here to wait this open so at 8 please come back here at 8 okay yeah

Minutes this is the last stop but we have 5 minutes to kind of look around on our own amazing little back alleys it could really get lost here I don’t want to go too far otherwise I won’t make it back to my tour but really amazing back alleys

What a place I want to come back another time to Tokyo and spend a lot of time here Shinjuku amazing absolutely amazing amazing part of Tokyo if you come I I highly recommend that you come to Shinjuku uh come to this part of town have a look around and if you’re not

Sure where to come definitely I can highly recommend our tour this one is ours how many muffins had a die to make this wall oh my gosh all kinds of different cash I might have to leave a bit of dong here why is my head so

Small I have a thousand dong to leave a th000 dong is about 4 cents and I will make sure to leave it on the streets here in Tokyo all right so girls on the loose has been here in Tokyo in chibuya and I’m leaving dong and if you would like

Subscribe if you liked it we’re girls and we catch you next time bye hang on don’t go just yet now that I’m home it’s time time for some tips now the first thing is if you’re flying into Narita Airport and want to take the train it’s called the Narita Express and it runs

From 6:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. now one thing to consider is that so one thing so one thing to consider is the timing of your flight so for example I had a 9:00 a.m. flight out and that barely gave me time to get to the airport by the train because it

Takes about an hour and 15 minutes that leads me to the next point try to fly into hanita instead of Narita if at all possible because it’s just so much closer to the city center another tip is about vlogging if you’re going there to Vlog like I was you might find it a

Little bit difficult Most Japanese people weren’t that Keen to be on camera and some of the establishments actually forbid me to film in them the next tip is about where to stay so if at all possible I highly recommend you stay in like shabuya but that can be really

Expensive I Stay there but in a capsule hotel that Susan booked and that kind of mitigated the price a bit another place you might want to choose is Shinjuku also very Central if those places are just outside your budget then you might have to commute but don’t worry the

Train system is really comprehensive the final tip I want to give you is about eims now this was a perfect idea for Japan where SIM cards can be quite expensive and the one Susan got for me it was awesome you just landed and you could automatically be connected and

That was a game Cher for me so we’re going to link that in the description below I have to try it again the the description okay you’ll find it linked in the description below bear in mind I was only there for 48 hours so I’m not

An expert and I’m sure there’s a lot more tips out there as well but I hope this gives you some idea of things to keep in mind if you just go for a few days and you really need to be as efficient as possible thanks for watching we’re girls

On the loose catch you next time
