[Music] what a beautiful day today we are in Tokyo Station heading to local part of Tokyo it’s almost end of May today’s temperature 27° wind is 1 m per second suddenly it gets warmer in Tokyo I wear the light jacket today but only the T-shirt shirts would be good too however in the night time still it’s cold so if you’re visiting Japan still you need a light jacket though in Tokyo seems like there are many kids by the school trip maybe it’s the season in the last video I visited local Tokyo food Street toosi Ginza in South part of Tokyo but today we are heading to the north part of Tokyo yanaka Ginza we are going there by the yamanote loop line which is one of the most popular line in Tokyo it is leaving from truck number four the green color one if you are heading to Akihabara or weno from Tokyo this is the line that you want to take today we are heading to ni Poli station so let’s keep working oh seems like it just departured but should be fine because the next train is coming in three minutes yes it is a really popular line so there are just so many trains about the week ago many people were wearing jacket but uh since it gets much warmer now many people wearing t-shirts here we go train has arrived yep that green color seems like it’s not crowded all right let’s go from Tokyo Station to akih habala Station it only takes 4 minutes to Veno station only takes 8 minutes for the ne station it takes about 12 minutes station seems like it is a very peaceful station yamot station many station for example Shibuya Shinjuku Harajuku you know those station usually it’s super crowded those stations are located in South part of Tokyo however this NPO station is located in North part of Tokyo so it is more quiet let’s get up from the north gate Nei station is also known for the station of the Skyliner for the Narita Airport so there are many people using these stations as well but I’m not sure how many people getting out from the station though probably they are just coming here for the transfer from here to Narita Airport seems like it cost 1,280 Japanese y Narita Airport is located in Chi fixure so from Tokyo Station it’s a bit far compared to haneda airport if you are heading to Narita Airport easiest way from Tokyo station is taking a bus it only cost 1,000 Japanese Yen so if you are heading to Narita Airport from Tokyo Station definitely I recommend you to use the past though unless you get the motion sness or something oh by the way hey guys welcome back to R TV I’m go please check my Instagram account as well in station seems like there are many restaurants and also stores it’s much bigger station than what I expected those are the souvenir shop so if you are transporting the train and you want to buy the souvenir at station you don’t have to worry that much in the station there are coin lockers but seems like many coin lockers are used however still there are availability yeah the big one so let’s explore the N station from Tokyo Station to NE station it cost 167 Japanese y we are heading to yanaka Ginza street so this is the way you need to go west that’s the easiest way but firstly we will explore the N station so let’s use the e exit oh I don’t know they are selling the midi which they are selling the shinkansen ticket in the small J station they usually don’t have one so ni Poli station it’s a big station huh there is a brick store that macadamian nuts Mata chocolate that looks pretty good price it 378 Japanese all right let’s keep talking seems like there are many Travelers inside the station but I’m wondering how it’s outside so this is how the station looks like it’s a big station huh if we keep straight this way we are heading to the U Sudani station it is a station between uo and nii but we are heading to North so we are heading to Nishi station which is the West Nei in front of this station there is a nice sculpture he isan lives in 15th century Samurai he’s the guy built the Edo Castle which is the most popular Castle in Japan it’s a cool sculpture and there’s a sculpture who gave the flower to him that’s very interesting one thing that I realize is that there are no traffic lights usually in front of big station there are many traffic lights but uh this place it’s more pesterian friendly in front of this station there are many storage they have so many different kinds of nationalities food very interesting that’s the Korean food and I believe it’s the Vietnamese food and also Indian food niol station is very well-known place for Japanese but uh I didn’t have chance to visit here oh there’s a big supermarket in front of Station 2 nice let’s keep walking toward to Nish police station there are so many apartment here it must be really convenient to leave around here compared to South part of Tokyo North part of Tokyo rent is cheaper so if you are looking for the some place at the cheaper rent price probably you want to look for the north part of Tokyo if you want to live close to the Tokyo Station oh interesting people are eating outside stand and eat but I never see people eating outside of the store though oh the temporas Suba is only 450 Japanese that’s good deal seems like it’s a very popular story they open for 24/72 nice it’s a perfect place for the busy Sal huh maybe we can try next time it’s almost 2:30 but still there are so long lying I’m wondering how it looks like in the lunchtime oh there is a discounted ending machine and I found something interesting it’s the orange soda by the Mia cida but since this one is the remake old one they use the different Katakana nowadays we use this o but this one use the W waren orang that’s for someone who is learning Japanese probably you understand but if you not it’s okay here small Japanese lesson the Remake version called hinging that sounds nice all right so let’s keep working it is a nice big station but there are so many residential area too so I think it’s more closer to the Kashi station in Osaka that’s nice even beside the Main Street there is a love hotel too so that’s something interesting too as well and now we arrive to Nini police station this station is also the Y the roof line station however it’s much smaller compared to the ni Poli station in front of the station there are many chain restaurants but it’s smaller seems like there are many small isaka restaurant too it’s the drinking bar let’s walk toward to the West part of NE area and this is how the Jr Nish Poli station looks like it’s similar to the Shing imamia station that atmosphere Nish police station and the ni police station sounds very similar but station’s atmosphere is totally different if you’re missing here just remember for your next Japan trip seems like West part of NP area it’s more peaceful atmosphere oh look at that it’s ST which is a really popular chain rental video story I used to use St a lot when I was a kids when I was a student too but nowadays I never seen nowadays people watch video Netflix Amazon Prime or you know Disney plus whatever it is so nowadays it’s more popular for the fancy book stores but uh that kind of you know video stories so Nashi oh I just realized that’s a Ka Gakuen it’s about the best high school in Japan I didn’t know it’s located in nisho it’s a fcy private school according to the internet there is a nice Shrine over there and go check oh that’s interesting it’s like we are entering the FY maze oh sweet that’s a nice peaceful atmosphere it’s just in front of this school so perfect place to take a rest for like kids even though it’s a super nice atmosphere local park but not that many students here so maybe they are just too busy for studying Shrine must be there let’s keep walking that seems like pretty Historical house I think you know in other word very uh classic house yeah I think that’s a good word usually we don’t see this much house in Tokyo but uh very interesting I feel like I came to the inaka which is the countryside oh here so it’s this shine wow very nice local atmosphere and uh yeah that building I said inak building it was this shying what do we have here let me see wow very quiet and peaceful still I can’t believe this is beside the amot loop line what do we have over here it’s the old second Shrine they are fixing it with the wire kind of worried I way worry in Japanese it’s Shai Shai and from here even we can see the shinkansen wow that’s to HW shansen beside the shrine there is a slope called jza car if you keep straight this jizza car you will get to the other side of the station but we are heading to yanaka Ginza arcade so we are not going there it’s a nice Shrine but I’m sving I’m so ready to eat so let’s go to the yanaka Gin Shen let’s keep walking we are at fujimak meaning watching Mount Fuji slope but seems like we can’t see though or maybe here oh here is the explanation of the fujimi zaka there are several fujimi zaka left in Tokyo and this is one of the few place that still we can see M Fuji but wait there are the small additional explanation well it says only until recentes so I believe for now we can’t see M fui already anyways let’s see Mount Fuji it’s that side yeah as it says I don’t think we can see the Mount Fuji from here it’s a sad story but you know there are so many population in Tokyo and so many tall buildings in Tokyo so it’s shog but I really enjoy the local atmosphere if you want to enjoy the local atmosphere but you don’t want to go far much maybe you can come over here Nish police station after the fujima we can just turn left and keep straight the entrance of yanaka Ginza arcade must be there it’s a nice quiet residential area but if you live around here since there are many slopes you need to walk a lot I believe so D Street must be going to yanaka Ginza arcade oh look at that I found something interesting it’s a it’s my first time to see it’s the shis Lea drink and it mixed with Haim mitu which is the honey it’s my first time to see and sounds good so why not let’s try this time I have coin so even this vending machine without train IC card machine I can buy it price is 120 Japanese yeah sweet uh I just realized it starts from here and it seems like many Travelers here well I think toosi gin is bigger but maybe because this place is closer to yamot line there are more people here by the way the closest station is NI Poli station if you keep straight you will get to the new police station we can see the nice view from there sweet it’s a nice view this stairs calls Yak dandang yuyake means Sunset and dum means step so that’s the sunset step it’s a bit smaller but more people here I think that’s a part of yamano the loop line I was thirsty so hopefully this akaj a drink it’s good though this kind of paper packed drink was super popular I think all the days but recently more like you know the C drink so C pie [Music] interesting well it feels like you’re eating thei which is a PL and is sour and a nice ches of flavor but I’m okay with um this drink too it’s okay there is a little bit of flavor of honey but it’s more like you know sour flavor so for me interesting all right so let’s explore yanaka ginade oh what is this place they have so many different kinds of rice Coler that looks pretty nice and this shop is a named stamp Hano Hano they have so many different kinds of animal and they’re so cute loving it oh that’s the local bookstores oh that’s interesting they have the waffle but use the SOA it’s a golden free sandwich waffle they have so many different kinds of waffley let’s see what else we have that’s a local cat stuff shop oh my goodness this cat Chopsticks so cute price is 1,100 Japanese oh my goodness that’s so [Music] cute it’s sushim my dance I loving it he stops so we can just clap dance seems like it doesn’t move can you make it move oh now it’s moving good job this store has many different kinds of souvenir of Japan nice and what is this restaurant oh at the restaurant with soft ser and also coffee as well it’s the Yakitori and the car but uh it’s closed seems like many stores is closed today though maybe it’s because weekday I don’t know or maybe they opened it in the morning time oh seems like that’s the mooji store it’s like the cafe style oh they have the isoi soy sauce and the dried seaweed that sounds good last time we tried a matashi at the so maybe we can try the isob this time all right so let’s get one it has nice atmosphere inside the restaurant oh I just realized they have the tempor much too I’ve never heard it that interesting as well must be this is the one huh should have hold of this well maybe next time we can try that sweet we got it all right very first food we try it’s thei meaning so with the oh my goodness it looks so fluffy but looks good [Music] e m it is kind of hard to eat and it has but it has nice flavor and very [Music] soft eating the Mochi with soy sauce and seaweed I think this is the most basic style of eating Mochi kind of like traditional style well I know that Mochi is very popular but eating this way is not that popular in other country but in Japan and yes this is one of the most popular way to eat [Music] Mochi price is 300 Japanese y it’s a nice street food let’s keep eating oh what is the place seems like it is very popular oh they are selling the Chopsticks and also senu which is a traditional Japanese style fan with cheaper price so that’s why s morning only 500 Japanese yeah oh that’s beautiful Sakura sweet next to it it’s the local veggie shop and meat shop seems like this sweet shop is very popular here they sell the muman cake which is the Chestnut cake that looks pretty good I guess this is the most popular store in this arcade oh here in front of the meat shop they have the men tat store this cheese that sounds so good why not let’s try it price is only 120 Japanese yeah sweet all right let’s find a place to eat sweet it looks pretty good it’s smaller than what I thought but it’s all good it’s a deep fried katsu inside meat and over leaves it has the nice shissel flavor but not as strong as this you know she a drink so I like this one better well thinking about the price 120 Japanese y it’s a good deal but I wish it was just deep frider because it would taste much better anyways let’s keep eating seems like arcade ends here but uh I believe it still continues so let’s keep walking if we keep straight we will arrive to the sendagi station uh seems like that’s the yam shop they have the toen and also that sounds interesting why not let’s try the sweet all right so here we go this one calls to it is very popular sweet in Japan I think very traditional sweets it is not sweet though but you know sweet so this is how we eat inside there are tuu andu usually it’s sour but T doesn’t sound like sour let me see so place [Music] it and it’s fre KET seaweed powder on top ah that looks pretty Prett good and that’s interesting the mustard comes with it usually I don’t think we eat with Master maybe this is the traditional way I don’t know so here we go oh my goodness yummy okay it is a fresh made one you can eat like a ramen noodle [Music] so basically too t itself has not that strong taste but eat with vinegar so it has a nice sa flavor and you can eat like the ice cream well maybe ice cream is a bad explanation but yeah it is pretty good especially in the summer [Music] time well I remember in kum’s Temple they were s with the double fries yeah so this Place good [Music] deal let’s try it with the mustard as well I love karashi mustard it’s a Japanese mustard so a little bit tastes different compared to the Western mustard it’s more spicier I feel [Music] like it’s my very first time to eat Ken with karashi mustard but yeah I didn’t know it matches so good here L it that was pretty good the price is only 250 Japanese Yang if you never tried tooro 10 before definitely I recommend you to visit this store was pretty good and a good deal as well loving it all right so let’s keep working so seems like this arcad ands over there though that’s a local Apple Pie shop that’s interesting let’s see inside they sell the apple pies and also different kinds of sweets this lemon pie looks good and also this super fluffy lemon pie seems like it’s the most popular pie over here but you know what I always wanted to try the Cherry Pie this one over here the S cream with sweet potato that must be good why not let’s do it since they don’t have the drink we can get the drink from somewhere else oh that’s perfect we got a 7eleven over here so we can get the coffee let’s get the coffee time for the ice CAF latte they don’t have the large one oh wait over here yes I got a ice caill if they start selling the coffee I think they can make good money too though ah seems like it’s already ready yeah that’s mine oh my goodness looks pretty good and cute sweet here we go it’s the Cher pie inside there’s a sweet potato and sour cream that sounds good so can I just use [Music] [Music] yeah it’s perfect with coffee it’s my first time to try the Cherry Pie it is not that popular in Japan the first time when I see the Cherry Pie was in the one piece anime K get which is the Black Beard his favorite food was Cher pie and then I learned oh there’s a cherry pie and then that sounds interesting so I always wanted to try and here we go it is not like a super sweet cake but a nice sweetness of the Cherry I like the sweet cake but you know this kind of like no sweet barel and with the fluit flavor I love [Music] it Ma this place is located in kind of end of the arcade but if this shelf was located in front of that you know the arade entrance probably becomes very popular though [Music] yeah psycho they have a nice window seat and also the price is only 560 Japanese y so definit I [Music] recommend sweet so the price is only 570 Japanese y it was not crowded nater and the price was not Tois price Neer so I love it let’s keep walking actually this place is close to the ureno station and also the Eno Park we can technically walk from here to ueno park it only takes 30 minutes by walking so why not let’s walk toward to the eneno we got the cafe lat so so 30 minutes walking it’s like nothing we were walking in the tiu but now we are at theu which is already a different city after walking a while it becomes a totally in a local area I don’t see Travelers much but uh more local people just so many tall apartments over here yeah it does look like it to town oh my goodness look at this restaurant all the seafood bat is only 500 Japanese and that’s a good deal I’ve never tried it so I’m not sure about the quality but sounds good speaking of the seafood before you know as long as the price is cheap I think that’s a good deal however after I’ve been eating in so many places and I realize that the seafood price is totally depend on the quality because in many touristic places they have some seafood but well it looks like a good deal however the quality is not as a good deal so after I’ve been five years of the food travel vlogger and finally I realized that well maybe you are like finally R so now you can ask me how about the 40 thinking about the price in Japan called CPA kPa cost performance so whenever I say it’s a good food that means you know thinking about the quality and the price so that’s what I wanted to tell you guys yeah yes finally let’s keep walking and eating also price is always changing depend on the place for example if you eat the curry at the Disneyland or if you eat the CI at the local store the price is different so I always always think about the place and the price too by the way now we came back to the title City so that means Winer Park is almost there oh wow look at that building very classic building with the atmosphere it says mariosa josa automobile in Japanese called josa josa oh that’s a very classic vending machines and uh something that I realize is that they sell the amak I thought it’s the sake usually it contains alcohol but probably this one doesn’t contains the alcohol because it’s selling on the vending machine oh and that local bus is cool we park we are almost there I just realized that’s the wenu we can see from here huh for free just a little let’s enter the window Park from there oh my goodness look at this flower it’s so beautiful that’s the stair going for the nice long stairs ah nice too too yeah that one called too it’s 5:30 can you hear the music yes that’s the music for closing uh seems like still we are able to enter though but it’s almost closing it’s a very beautiful spot so if you never visited here definitely you get to visit if you visit W Park when you see the Emma you can tell there are so many International Travelers here because there are so many different kinds of languages so let’s get out it’s already 5:30 but still s hasn’t set yet yes now I totally feel like summer is coming well if you are like VI as you guys know I usually start traveling late so in the winter time the sunset time is about 4:30 so it gets darker in the super early time so for me the summer usually sunset time is 7:30 so I like it better and I love the hot weather too so yeah summer always better all right so let’s get out from the OT to shun oh I didn’t know this Shrine close I think it’s my first time to see this Shrine is closing I usually don’t come over here in the nighttime so that’s why oh usually this street there are many mat food stall but seems like today not that much so not that many Travelers nether over there though and this Shrine is also closing after 5:00 p.m. so you got to be careful if you’re visting here and we are almost at the weno station and that’s already weno station Sao takari is here somehow this sculpture reminds me the attack of Titan though if you had no idea where we are probably after you go down this stairs you will see where you are yes that’s the eneno station and entrance of the Amo Street all right so now we are at Rena station we started the travel from new police station which is two stations away from here and Vis Nishi and come back to the nii and walking back to the window station well it was a kind of long walk but really fun so if you visiting yanaka Ginza and if you can walk maybe you can start traveling from Nish police station and you can walk around over there and eventually you can get to the yanaka Ginza and come back to the ni police station well in that case you can only work one station and you can see so many local nice beautiful spot as well so hope this video will help for next Japan trip and if you enjoy local Japan walk and food videos please don’t forget to hit the

are realized but today I was using the new lens before I was using the Sony 16 to 35 pz but today finally I got the the new lens which is 16 to 25 but F 2.8 the size is pretty similar but this one I can film and the direct play is much better also with this lens it’s much easier to make the closer shot the lens that I used before I couldn’t do it and you can see more Boke behind yeah it’s a just a little bit difference but for me it’s a big deal especially the lens it became more brighter however the size is same unfortunately with this lens I can’t you know Zoom that much yeah this is 16 and this is 25 so I can’t zoom that much but you know I always walk so that I don’t use that much Zoom so it’s okay well IAL about it on my patreon but how do you think did you realize it or you didn’t

  4. The round stroll in the northen part of Tokyo so different in atmosphere, combination of peaceful slopes and flat residential parts with a local shopping street offering traditional food, quite an experience. The cherry pie seemed so yummy, by the way. Visiting the shrines added a cultural vibe to the video.
    Unfortunately my eye is not that trained to catch the difference of the new lense but your explaining in the end was therefore of great help.
    Thanks for another interesting video. Looking forward to following adventures! GAAOOO…
