welcome to the largest city on earth 
Tokyo Japan we are standing on the  
busiest crosswalk in the entire world 
and today we’re taking you to the past  
present and future thank you enjoy your day 
with Cutting Edge technology quirky vending  
machines and a food trip of our dreams 
with a hint of Tranquility leaving no  
sight unseen this is our Dream country and 
we’re finally here Welcome to Tokyo Japan
first day in Tokyo Girl look at 
this Tokyo we have made it look  
at the surrounding buildings look 
at the crosswalk this is the most  
famous crosswalk in the entire world 
there’s Mario Karts that are going
by it’s going to be a whirlwind of a 
trip and it’s starting right now [Music]
so first thing you notice anywhere in Tokyo 
there are just a billion signs signs screen  
screens up there sound playing characters 
everywhere there’s anime there’s Neon Lights  
it’s a little bit overwhelming because you 
don’t even know where to look you’re looking  
up you’re looking to the side the energy in 
this city is very special obviously Tokyo  
is known for its art its culture so this is 
shabuya crossing right in the center of Tokyo  
this is the busiest pedestrian intersection in the 
entire world so apparently there are about 2 and  
1/2 th000 people that cross this intersection in 
seven different directions every single time we  
got people crossing this way that way every 
single Direction and apparently at night it  
just gets busier and busier this is mad to see the 
amount of people crossing and it just gives you an  
insight to how big Tokyo is that this is only one 
crosswalk 37 million people live in this city I  
think we’re going to go like up and down this 
crosswalk about 10 times yeah probably because  
it’s so much fun it is extra special to be here on 
chabuya Crossing in Tokyo Japan because we almost  
didn’t make it unfortunately my Visa was cancelled 
and the only way to go from where we were in Asia  
to Next Door in Tokyo Japan was to fly all the way 
home to South Africa get the visa there fly all  
the way back but even after all of that drama it 
was kind of made special because we might have a  
little announcement Davon and his family actually 
planned this entire surprise for me and it wasn’t  
supposed to happen it was supposed to happen here 
in Japan can we have a moment for the ring but  
it’s pretty cool cuz I get to come to Japan as 
a whole fiance so we are in the shab I can’t say  
it so we are in the shabuya area and we’re just 
going to walk some of these streets see some of  
the restaurants the sites and just see what Tokyo 
is like on our first day there’s music everywhere  
every street and you’re just filled with neon 
signs it’s a giant [Music] Ikea the fashion  
here is out of control these vending machines are 
everywhere we’re going to see those throughout  
Japan I’m sure and I think apparently there is a 
vending machine every 20 or 50 m and there’s one  
machine per 23 people so you can just tell this 
is the vending machine capital of the world and  
that’s mad I know for every 23 people think about 
that one vending machine for every 23 people and  
it’s like stuck in the wall this is a wall this 
is a wall an entire building look how Co vending  
machines and these aren’t the actual products you 
can see it’s just a sticker well I don’t even know  
what half of these things are that looks like a 
tomato we got some Pepsi Mountain Dew this looks  
like looks like some iced coffee this looks like 
toothpaste doesn’t it we should get one which one  
should we get this one okay let’s get this one 
now this is the chance to use all my coins which  
if you didn’t know by now Japan has little holes 
in their coins pretty cool okay so let’s see what  
works in here 140 so you put your coins in then 
you select it and then obviously it just falls  
out super easy ah so they all light up green once 
you’ve put your money in and then ah there we go  
look at that a little lemon a little lemon drink 
and then here’s our change mission accomplished  
first thing to do in Tokyo right first thing 
get a drink from the vending machine ding can  
I also point out something so genius this is a 
recycle unit the thing is you’re not supposed  
to walk and eat and walk and drink so you drink 
your drink and then you throw it away right here  
because there are no dpin around here in Japan 
because apparently back back back in the day  
dpin were used as like explosive hiding places so 
that’s why you won’t actually see dpin around so  
you’re supposed to drink your drink pop it in 
the recycling and then go this is a mega City  
but every single street is clean and and there’s 
no trash can so everybody takes their own trash  
and recycles it at home but as we were walking 
through and admiring a different side of Tokyo  
we’ve actually come across a free Wi-Fi Booth 
which is like a telephone booth but it’s got  
free Wi-Fi you can find little pockets of Wi-Fi in 
the Subway on the streets but it’s not always as  
safe so we always use our VPN that’s why we 
wanted to thank s shark for sponsoring this  
video and always keeping our online data safe no 
matter where we are in the world and if you don’t  
know what a VPN is it stands for virtual private 
Network that encrypts all of our information sent  
between our devices and the internet so no one can 
steal our sensitive information and we use a VPN  
to always keep our online activity safe because 
we’re always connecting to public Wi-Fi on the  
streets in the hotels cafes and airports but it’s 
not only about security we also use our VPN to  
unlock our favorite shows online from back home 
that we cannot access while we’re here in Asia  
it’s so easy to change our virtual location and 
get access to unlimited content libraries if you  
don’t already use a VPN we highly recommend using 
so shock as they are the only VPN to offer one  
account for unlimited devices plus if you use our

to try it out to get started just click the link 
in the description below bye sometimes I feel like  
you could be overstimulated here in Japan and it’s 
only our first day but we’ve got ramen shops we’ve  
got arcades what what is that g balls is that what 
you call it Gable I’m not we have to investigate  
I know and then on this side we’ve got souvenir 
shops jewelry shops you can get your ears pierced  
if you want to it’s like a sensory overload 
the thing is you don’t know where to look just  
because there are signs and every single level is 
a different shop I have to go and see this shop  
here what is this what is going on in here yeah 
people are going crazy they’re toys collectibles  
figurines like little bows sketch balls isn’t 
that what it’s called so you obviously put your  
money in and turn this and then a little toy like 
a tiny little bowl will come out they’re about 400  
300 Yen and people are going crazy in there if you 
look over here it’s an entire shop of just this of  
just cables look at all of these Collectibles this 
is what you get inside they’re so cute we got to  
get one I feel like Tokyo is like a video game 
I know it’s like a living breathing video game
country so this is an example of one of the busy 
streets you can just see signs and neon lights  
everywhere he has a cafe on I think that’s the 
third floor all throughout the street they have  
speakers on all the lampost so there is just music 
playing you kind of feel like you’re in an anime  
scene shabuya is one of the liveliest areas is 
here in Tokyo and probably the most touristy it’s  
peak season because the cherry blossoms are out 
right now which is an incredible phenomenon called  
Hanami which means flower viewing in Japan it is 
amazing to see how many people have loved Japan  
they love the food they love sightseeing here 
and I’m very excited to do the same on our first
[Music] day here has some more vending machines 
and these ones have been annihilated with stickers  
which I think is really cool but what’s 
interesting is these in blue are cold and  
these are hot so you order one of these cans 
and it will come out hot a hot drink from a  
vending machine that is like Japan core another 
Japan core is claw machines galore these look  
insane look at this shark with the giant lips 
this looks rigged there’s only one in here  
yeah in fact there’s only one in each of these 
I’m less tempted this time like in Taiwan I  
was so obsessed with Clow machines but now I 
figured out they’re just [Music] rigged this  
is my favorite place in the Hall of Japan maybe 
second favorite besides the actual Disneyland but  
this is a Disney flagship store which I think 
they have all over here in Tokyo we’re going  
to have to go look inside Disney everything 
if you’re a Disney lover like me you get the
reaction has more of these we should get 
one okay let’s get one yeah let’s get one  
this one looks really cool they even 
have these little bowls and figurines  
in Disney characters this is such 
a big thing put your coins [Music]
in W this is cool oh gosh it’s so 
extensive I actually have to build  
the whole thing but this is what I got 
in my little G bow machine it’s a Gable  
machine inside the G bable machine put all 
the little G balls in and I turn this little
knobby look catchable setion 300 Yen worth every
penny besides there being such a vibe in the city 
and such a hustle and bustle with the amount of  
people there is just food everywhere I read that 
there are 160,000 restaurants here in Tokyo alone  
and everywhere we look on every level is just 
food and every type of Cuisine you can think of  
not only Japanese but there’s Mexican food French 
food Italian obviously American chains as well so  
we need to dive into some of these restaurants 
right now I know I’m working up such an appetite  
right now I’m starving to put in perspective 
the population here is four times that of New  
York City wow that’s insane but because we’re in 
Japan we need to have Japanese food like Ramen or  
sushi this gives you an idea every single shop on 
this street is a restaurant restaurant restaurant  
restaurant everywhere and look how cool this is 
this is how you order your meals you obviously  
just put your coins in and then you choose what 
meal you want and then you go through that door  
absolutely genius the abundance and option 
is a little overwhelming that I think you  
just need to choose one and just go straight in 
because you always feel like there’ll be a better  
restaurant just around the corner so we’re just 
going to have to find one and choose it we have  
just come down the street and noticed there is 
a standing sushi bar so there are no seats you  
stand and they make each piece of sushi right in 
front of you there is even a line outside we’re  
going to wait right now and then we’re going 
to try sushi for the first time here in Japan
I got the design this is our first time at 
a standing sushi bar and look as you can see  
no chairs and all the fresh ingredients are 
lined up right in front of us they make it  
each and every single one by hand and then 
lay it out in front of us for us to enjoy
it got we got all the options over 
here and then we got a set menu on the
side so you order each one and then as you order 
it he makes it for you right in front of us
[Music] and I got theer this looks so good good 
we got tuna we got salmon we got corn each one was  
made perfectly by hand and there’s a little Wasabi 
on the inside I can’t wait to taste [Music] it wow  
you can just taste that it’s been handcrafted made 
with love and I love that they add a little bit of  
Wasabi on the inside between the rice and the fish 
this is some of the freshest Sushi we have had and  
the fact that each one is made indiv ually with 
the freshest ingredients it’s not just raw fish  
It’s actually an art one the freshness of the 
fish is something like I’ve never tasted before  
as a first meal here in Tokyo Japan it doesn’t get 
better than this and that kick of Wasabi is just
insane what is this I think it’s for a drink 
for you drink there’s a cap over here green  
tea tea no way should we try them yeah so 
you just push it in no way that’s so cool  
and add your green tea on my word it’s green 
tea powder so we’ve just found that there is  
a tap on each and every cubicle part with 
some green tea and green tea powder that’s  
unbelievable it smells so good I think it’s 
actually mucher that is so comforting [Music]
byebye see you tomorrow byebye wow that was 
an unbelievable first experience of having  
standing Sushi our Sushi master was just the 
best ever every time he put a little piece of  
sushi down he’d smile and wave or he’ give 
us a little PE side and he was just so Cen  
he made our entire experience so worth it 
the sushi itself was unbelievable it was  
curated and crafted to infection each and every 
bite was just like an explosion it was fresh it  
was delicious it was out of this world I mean 
what are first impressions of [Music] Tokyo so  
behind me is a statue of Hao a very very loyal dog 
and he waited for his owner at this very station  
every single day even though his owner had passed 
pass away and he actually waited for 9 years after  
his owner had passed away up until his death at 
the station that just shows how loyal he was so  
they even put a little statue of him as a little 
remembrance of a loyal loyal doggo now this is one  
of the most chaotic stations I’ve been to and 
it’s just purely because of the confusion and  
how vast this train system is this is just the 
line to get a ticket there’s all these people  
coming this way to go in there the plus there’s 
people coming down there’s people going up this  
escalator we got up by the skin of our teeth just 
behind me at that machine but this is the ticket  
and this is what it looks like it cost us 150 yen 
to go one stop so we’re going to go through this  
spom gate and try and make our way but I want 
to show you just how busy it is right now at
[Music] midday where do we go I think we 
go up here this gives you an idea the chaos  
it is very well marked but are you absolutely made 
there’s people coming from all the way back there  
I think we go up here just follow the people are 
you sure this is giving you a real taste of Tokyo  
it’s not even peak time right now and apparently 
at Peak time it get so busy that they actually  
have people called pushers to push people into the 
train to just get as many people onto a cart at a  
time this is one station here’s a train another 
one comes here there’s a train on the other side  
I think this is our one is this are you sure 
this can be very overwhelming as a first
timer we made
[Music]
[Music]
that was I’m so sad it was just one stop I really 
enjoyed that it’s the chaos of trying to find  
where you’re going but once you found it then 
it is perfectly okay I mean we’ve taken metros  
all over the world but this was by far the most 
chaotic and it was slightly confusing but still  
enjoyable I want to point out something 
that’s very unique with the train system  
here in Japan is when you look on Google Maps and 
you put in your station that you want to go to it  
tells you which car you should sit in to get the 
best exit I think that is absolutely genius and  
just like everything else in Japan We Walk This 
Way people walk that way there’s actually signs  
on the ground of which way you should walk and 
everybody is so polite like that’s what’s amazed  
me the most here about Japan they’re considerate 
they’re kind they’re friendly and it’s making  
we love Japan even more with the amount of people 
that are here in this city everything runs so  
smoothly and of course like you know Japanese 
trains are always on time I found the street that  
we’re going to go on it’s right here this is why 
we came here this is it you can actually see that  
there’s a little mirror what do you call that like 
a camera it’s kind of like a camera so you can see  
yourself at the entrance this is just a few of the 
lines here in Tokyo not even all of them this is  
is only one company’s lines I think that gives 
you an idea of how extensive the network is here  
almost every single car including the taxis are 
electric and here I go and you always follow the  
green man you never walk if it’s red everybody 
follows the rules here and you should in every
[Music] country that’s pretty cool they come up 
with everything here in Japan you know what I  
love the most about Japan it’s so quiet there’s 
not a person inide I think there’s only about 10  
people behind me I mean where’s everybody we have 
arrived at one of the most quirkiest streets in  
Tokyo we’ve got souvenir shops we’ve got jewelry 
we’ve got a D McDonald’s anything that you can  
think of you can buy here there’s a Daiso there’s 
a another Gable store a Dog Cafe what [Music]
[Music]  
bye byebye a he’s cute look how crazy these shoes 
are oh my goodness oh my goodness bigger than your  
head I actually have to exuberant holy moly 10,000 
y unfortunately there are no Rock Raves that I am  
attending anytime soon soon so I’m going to 
have to give them a pass this is really cool  
like here has the street and souvenir shop but 
it’s completely underground so you go maybe one  
or two stories [Music] underground it’s incredibly 
difficult not to fall in love with Japan because  
everything has got a 100 times cuute Factor 
there is not a single thing in Japan that is  
not cute what are these look at these key rings 
so cute who look at that guy we’re going to have  
no money after this trip it’s it’s official I want 
everything every single thing has to have a little  
character on everything is cute even this well we 
have to we have to so look at this shop right here  
they are lining up to have their Palm red and 
that is a thing here is they really rely on the  
psychics and their fortunes and what a good and 
a bad fortune in their life is like so they want  
to always find out about their Fortune this store 
behind me is just capsules and we have seen them  
all over Tokyo today rows and rows and rows of 
capsules let’s have a look let’s look yeah let’s  
have a look this is all you can get in the shop 
hundreds and hundreds of them tiny little they’re  
just little characters these are insane there’s 
an entire shop of it I have to go inside if you  
are into fashion music art figurine anime you have 
to come to Tokyo you have to I must be honest I am  
not the biggest Fashion Icon and I’m you’re not 
the biggest Fashion Icon I’m not a fashion icon  
at all I don’t know enough about art music but if 
you’re if you are into art music fashion anything  
creative please come here it’s just a paradise 
I think the whole of Tokyo is like a Disneyland  
of creativity it’s like a character story book 
everywhere you look there’s something cute there’s  
something glamorized there’s something covered 
in rhinestones look at this look at this this is  
an example look at all these These are chains 
you can wear look at how this lady is dressed  
I can’t believe you said you’re not the biggest 
Fashion Icon I’m just here with my with my sunny  
day look at this beautiful lady she looks great 
wow she looks amazing she looks amazing this is  
a bullboard with some of the cafes that they have 
go go Cafe candy cafe up here is a cat cafe they  
put a cat on your cappuccino I I have to have it 
this is insane this is a mini pig Cafe I’m not  
even exaggerating they have mini pigs micro pigs 
let me take that back micro [Music] pigs we’re  
staying at a prime location here in Shinjuku in 
Tokyo and I can’t believe it because we’re on the  
35th floor that’s insane so I thought I’d give you 
a quick room tour so starting off we’ve got this  
really cool open concept bathroom plus we’ve got 
the safe and we’ve got a little wreck to hang all  
of our stuff sink is very cool very marel I love 
the design obviously we’ve got separate toilet  
separate shower and what’s cool is it separates 
with a curtain or if you want to have a timer from  
your significant other you can just trap them in 
here for now thanks for that plus the shower has  
got a glass so you can actually enjoy the view 
which I’ll show you in a second from the shower  
moving on we’ve got a really cool desk over 
here plus they gave us some welcome fruit how  
sweet is that we’ve got strawberries and apples 
and Kiwis and grapes plus a welcome card somehow  
they found out about us getting engaged which if 
you didn’t know we’re engaged it happened check  
Instagram for more and they gave us these cute 
little flowers as a little engagement present  
on this side we’ve got the phone we’ve got the 
coolest mineral water I’ve ever seen look how  
cool this is and our very own Marshall speaker 
we’ve got a clock then in these cupboards we’ve  
got mugs other glasses and a little tea station 
now moving on look how spacious this room is and  
look at our bed it’s massive it looks very 
very soft should I give it a test you have
to it’s like a pillow all the lights can be 
accessed from our bed which is pretty cool so we  
can turn these knobbies on and off one is a foot 
light one’s a foot light okay oh I see that one  
plus we’ve got robes on this side and then we’ve 
got a seat each with a table in between I think  
we’re probably going to have like our morning 
tea morning coffee while we look at the view  
what does The View from the 35th floor look like 
wow Feast your eyes on Tokyo City this floor to  
ceiling window is just the perfect view of Tokyo 
City and I can’t believe how lucky we are to be  
staying here as like a little engage adversary is 
this how we’re going to celebrate being engaged  
cuz we’re going to be spending a couple of days 
here plus we’re going to be having dinner and  
we’re going to be having daily breakfast I think 
this is the start of our journey here in [Music]
Japan we have now broken away from the very very 
busy streets of shabuya and we’ve actually come  
across a rather Pleasant quiet suburban area of 
Tokyo which shows pretty much the real local life  
here and it’s such an amazing difference from the 
hustling bustling touristy shopping districts like  
shabuya and Shinjuku where you can see a more more 
laidback quiet less crowded environment there’s  
still some vending machines around like this 
there’s actually vending machines everywhere and  
a more quiet crosswalk have a look at this still 
you will not see a speck of litter anywhere loads  
of electric cars this is what I really like to 
see about Tokyo is that there’s so many sides to  
this busy City some places more busy than others 
over here you will see a little restaurant and you  
can order via machine you don’t need to talk 
to anyone Tokyo could be an introvert’s dream  
because if you order from a restaurant you don’t 
necessarily need to talk to a person you can talk  
to a machine or even a robot and we’ve seen today 
that there is incredible technology and you’ve  
seen how advanced Japan and especially Tokyo is 
but the next place that we’re about to go and  
show you takes technology to a whole new level 
in the most heartwarming way I can’t wait for
this we’re about to experience 
our very first robot
Cafe hello hello hi welcome to Cafe do you have a 
today no okay no problem inat area you can enjoy  
chatting M sweets and moreat is this good yes 
all good oh thank you very much please move to  
the light side thank you thank you thank you enjoy 
your day that was the coolest thing ever a robot  
just took our order Okay so we’ve just sat down 
and we’ve ordered our drink from our very cute and  
friendly AR robot and we’re sitting here at the 
bar while we wait for our drink if you’re thinking  
this is just an AI robot experience think again 
this is way more heartful so these robots are  
actually avatars which means they’re a replacement 
body so they’re actually real people speaking to  
us from these robots thank you for the they’re 
not just ordinary people they’re people with  
disabilities and people who are actually bedridden 
who are at home they cannot work in person so they  
work remotely they maybe even working from their 
hospital bed which is unbelievable it still gives  
people an opportunity work interact with people 
practice their English and just have a normal  
life but they’re in a robot body so I think it’s 
an amazing initiative and the best part is because  
it’s a normal person behind the robot you can 
have a conversation so when they bring you your  
drink or your food you can ask them questions 
and you can converse with them I think Japan  
is one of the only places on the planet where 
you can get this experience hello hello [Music]
what’s your name you iudo 
wow I like your name nice  
to meet you thank you where are you from I’m at
Japan in alory yeah and north of Japan look at 
that north of Japan north of Japan a little map

I didn’t even know where her city was so she  
showed us a little map on her screen that it was 
in Northern Japan and now she’s gone off to make  
her next coffee and I think behind me this little 
robot is about to make some coffee for us as well

some instructions this lady’s telling him what to

person behind the robot is seeing so this is  
an image of their screen and that’s actually the 
robot up there so they can see exactly where we  
are they can turn their head it’s such a unique 
experience to be in a normal coffee restaurant  
scene that there are robots moving through the 
cafe ordering coffee delivering coffee okay  
we’ve just had the ultimate robotic experience 
where we actually got pretty much a personalized  
show of a robot making some coffee for us he 
made it in a little French press machine and  
we even got a little taste once he was done 
he was chatting to us the entire way we got  
to learn about him he made a few jokes he was 
quite the comedian and it’s quite amazing that  
he is operating this entire machine come home 
he made us his coffee by himself and it looks  
like he just loves doing this he poured it into 
a little cup for us it’s the first coffee we’ve  
ever had made by a [Music] robot here she comes

really small and they just sit on the bar

and there she goes so you can see below  
they’re on a track and that’s how they 
can manage their way through the [Music]
cafe thank you wow what an amazing experience 
I feel like I’ve left with a full heart and  
what I’ve learned is that a simple conversation 
can make someone so happy it could actually make  
their day and this gives them such an amazing 
opportunity to still have a job still speak  
to people still have a connection just through 
a robot so I feel like my heart is full after  
that [Music] experience we have now arrived 
in the heart of as sakuza which is a different  
section to where we were earlier today and 
it’s already such a different vibe we’ve got  
a shopping street just behind me which is right 
next to the senzo G Temple which is what we’re  
going to check out in a little bit but first I 
think we got to see what all the fuss is about  
behind me there’s shopping streets there’s 
souvenirs there’s food there’s snacks there’s  
everything and I can’t wait to go and take it 
[Music] out wow look at this beautiful entryway  
look at this gate and then over here this is 
the shopping street and we’ve got beautiful  
cherry blossoms all around Flags there’s souvenir 
shops there’s food so let’s go explore in there
[Music] oh my God so this is Quint essentially 
just a shopping arcade this entire Street all  
the way down is just a shoers paradise this 
is the land of Hello Kitty beautiful kimonos  
Sakura flowers strawberry Mochi you can 
really come here and get your money’s  
worth of snacks of souvenirs and this is 
in the old side of Tokyo this has been here  
since the 17th century and you can see how many 
hundreds of thousands of people have come down
here as we’re walking along we can see Souvenirs 
of any and every kind from masks to sandals I mean  
this is the shopping Haven of Tokyo this is a 
lip balm wall so there is a lip balm for every  
single day of the year and I’ve never wanted 
something so much in my entire life so this  
is an example of one of the souvenir shops you 
can see lot of little things that you can buy  
here some bows all kinds of Japanese treats 
some like owl figurines some cups and mugs so  
this machine behind me is pretty much like 
a pick a grand prize machine where you put  
your hand in it costs 1,000 yen per play and that 
means everybody’s a winner you must win something  
but the size of the prize is the difference 
you can catch a very very big plushy toy or  
a very small one so it doesn’t matter which red 
little piece of paper you pick you are a winner  
no matter what they’re just putting their hand 
in grabbing a little paper and seeing what they
won I feel like this store is everything that 
is Japan I know look at all these tiny little  
key Rings everywhere you look in Japan there 
just characters I love it here has little dogs  
masks this is M Fuji and obviously Hello Kitty 
everywhere what a shop I know I love it here  
you know you’re in in Japan when you can buy an 
exuberant amount of samurai swords and they are  
not cheap I mean I’m seeing 40,000 Yen all the 
way up to 170,000 Yen you could really uh injure  
somebody with that so right here in the middle 
of the shopping street Samurai sords and a few  
pistols um is it a katana or is it a samurai 
sword I know I’ve been saying Samurai so but  
I think this is actually a katana I think since 
we’re in Japan it has to be a katana and I think  
it’s curved a katana is curved from what I 
know well let me know in the [Music] comments  
so at the end of the shopping street is this 
beautiful Temple known as Seno G Temple it’s  
a Buddhist temple and it’s the oldest Temple 
here in Tokyo but it’s really famous because  
this is in fact the most visited religious site 
on the entire planet I think about 30 million  
people visit this structure annually 
so this this is the main entrance gate  
and then on this side is a fivestory high 
Pagoda so we’re going to go into the main
complex so amazing to see people come out 
they’ve dressed in their beautiful kimonos  
they’ve come to pay their respects and visit 
one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever seen  
and we said there are 30 million people 
that come here every year and you can see  
it hundreds and thousands of people from every 
nation we can hear so many different different
languages and this is the main complex with the 
main temple in the background behind me is the  
fortune counter you pay 100 yen there’s a whole 
bunch of sticks inside um a little cylinder you  
shake the sticks so you get a really really 
good fortune you take it out and then they  
have little drawers so you open the drawer 
you get the fortune you read your fortune  
and if it’s a bad fortune you can tie your 
bad fortune onto the little rack but if it’s  
Good Fortune then you can take it home with you 
I love that I know that’s crazy very cool so to  
draw a fortune is actually called uji and they 
have loads of little drawers on this side these  
are all the bad fortunes that people have got 
probably today alone are we’re going to try our Lu  
at a good fortune I have my 100 coin and I think 
you put it right here now I’ve got to just shake
away I even know how you do
this now how on Earth am I going to figure out 
what this is I have no idea we eventually found  
it someone actually helped us say that it was 
67 this is what our Fortune looks like oh no  
it’s a bad one all it says is bad fortune having 
excessive desire to climb up the ladder to clouds  
your mind gets conf confused I don’t want to 
be confused did you get a bad one she got a  
bad one you Ted the bad ones here put it there 
and it won’t happen to you okay okay so you’re  
safe now there you go so if you tie it onto 
the rack that means it won’t happen to you no
she oh no okay now it won’t happen 
to you now I’m going to tie it on  
okay here I go that’s as good as it’s going to 
get mine looks like a little bow tie okay if  
you tie your fortune on here that means it won’t 
happen so you’re safe shoot I’m safe it’s actually  
amazing to find a little piece of Tranquility in 
the hustle and bustle of the city here in Tokyo  
it’s not really common to find a beautiful Temple 
like this in the middle of the city normally if  
you want to go for traditional and culture 
you go to Kyoto and you go to Osaka for all  
the temples but it’s actually amazing to visit 
a temple right here in the city center [Music]
