72 EPIC HOURS IN TOKYO 🇯🇵 Ueno, Shibuya, Akihabara, Lost Bar & Hello Kitty | Japan Travel Vlog
Come on. Oh, that’s the busiest we see, isn’t it? Wow. Where is your I’m very drunk. Hello. So, I wasn’t going to vlog today, guys. We were going to have a day off vlogging, but I can’t help myself. I want to document the whole trip so I can look back at it. And we are currently in Ueno, which seems very bustling. Oh, look, we can see the moon already. We have had a really lazy morning this morning. And I ended up doing work. Actually uploaded my first Disneyland Paris travel day. I should go this way cuz there’s a cute uh little alley. Uh anyway, we have no plans for today. We’re just going to wander around. I have some more work to do tonight. So, we’re just going to wander around, go for food. And this seems like a very bustling party type of area. Last night you could hear the noise from the city, but it was kind of cool. I had the window open and it was bustling all night. It looks really cool out here to be honest. There’s a chain of British pubs in Tokyo called the Hub. You see them all over the place. Get a little Mia. Hello Kitty. My Melody 50th anniversary. Who’s back? Each design of purchase. Only one item of each design. Oh my gosh, a limited edition run. Cute. Oh my gosh, I love this bag. That’s so cute. Oh, you can get that little tag to go on it. There’s really cute stuff in here, actually. Look at the little pacho down there, Dean. Oh my gosh, it’s like a little Valentine’s version. That is so cute. A people. I love how they’ve done a blue collection. Cute. I love it. I love the drains here in Japan. It’s so cool. You’ll see like modern buildings and then you’ll just see like a really cool old looking building in the middle of them. Look at this. And the sun is beginning to set. Oh, it’s like a ice cream maker. What the heck? It’s like a little factory making these uh biscuit looking things. Look at that. What’s it making? It looks like it’s getting cleaned at the minute. And this is turned off. But it’s like a little mini factory. This is such a cool street. What the heck? It reminds me of cyberpunk. It’s just so cool. Seeing the light. See where the lights are going. Looks like a theme park almost. We’re going to have a look down there a little bit later on. We got ourselves some water as well. Travel right up there. So sick. It’s so cool here. We’re going to have a look down there a little bit on the market. We’re going to get to another character shrimp shop. Very cool here. My brother would love it. Heat. Heat. Well, there’s just so much stuff in here. This is this weird like thing I see everywhere across Japan. What’s it called? for the tour. Am I not saying that right? Very funky looking. Look at this. They’re like really ugly, but like aesthetic at the same time. I don’t know. Like look at them. They’re the things of nightmares. Am I right? There’s also these that I’ve only seen in Japan. This character kind of cute. They even got Tom and Jerry. And they’ve got Curious George merch. Look at that. But he said Tokyo. Look. Love these. I love like the how they’re embroidered on like fluffy material. Cute. I love this mug. So cute. Are you taking a picture of amiibo? This one’s a cute character that I’ve never seen before. Look how cute the colors are on this. Oh my gosh, they have like a huge Studio Gibbly section. And then behind us is a Disney section. And all on the walls is the different characters. Wow, I’ve spent way too much this Japan trip. Honestly, I love that it even has British brands. It’s got Wallace and Grommit characters. Snoopy. Obviously, Snoopy’s uh not British, but it’s got my as well. Ah, so cool. Doron. Dormon actually means a lot because on our first ever trip to Japan, I watched Dormon on the plane and it’s the first like anime that I watched and the first ever trip to Japan on the plane there and we were landing when I was watching it. So, I’m going to get a little by chance. Look at these stairs. So cool. Oh my gosh, this is Tom and Jerry but kawaii. There’s so many floors. Everything is just character goods. This is like Harry Potter. We got Teletubbies. This is another floor. Seen this what you can get. Happy birthday, Harry. You know, and they’re making a cake. And it’s like a little coin wallet. That is such a cool piece of merch. It’s literally floors and flaws of every well-known character you could imagine. Garfield, Simpsons. Look at the Minions. What the heck? Look at this kawaii version of Tom and Jerry. Are you kidding me? So cute. Oh my gosh. Look at these little Naruto key rings of them visiting all the like hotspots in Tokyo. Oh my god. I’m currently on the fourth floor. Just literally so much to choose from. If you want to do a character shop, just come to Weno. Look at all this. Are you kidding me? We’ve got everything. There’s a whole bit about Sylvanian family. Cute. Oh dear. I found the blind boxes. We’ve got Disney. We’ve got Pop Mat. Oh, so many. How cute are these ones? Like Disney princesses in little cups. They’re so pretty. I’m going to get a few blind boxes here because they’re like half the price than buying them in the UK. If you buy them over here, they’re like £8 here. I feel like blind boxes and these type of things are like the modern day equivalent of people collecting like ceramic ornaments like back in the 40s and 50s. I feel like this is the new replacement. Uh my nana used to collect like beautiful like ceramic ornaments and stuff and have them all around the house. So I feel like this is like the modern day equivalent. Oh dear. My basket is looking very pastel and very cute right now. Sorry, but how beautiful are the designs on them? This one here is one of the most expensive ones, but it’s so so pretty that I’ve ended up getting myself one for Michelle. Look how pretty that design is. This must be a really popular edition, the Coke ones, cuz they’re all sold out. These are super popular at the minute. This is a yoga set. Heat. Heat. N. Heat. Heat. Oh, that’s so cool. I just seen Tekashi from Japan. So, he’s got a YouTube channel called Teeshi from Japan, and he interviews people everywhere. Also, we got these like chocolate filled pandas to try. Uh anyway, we’re going to go for a drink, me and Dean, down the market area and then head back to our hotel. Wow, it’s crazy here. I don’t like beer, but I couldn’t translate it in quick enough. We’re just in the arcades and look demo literally massive now. Our other one. Oh, I’m glad I wasn’t with you. We should be with each other all the time. The noise as well. Yeah, I heard that. I love it. We were just on our way back to the hotel. No, it matches my other one. I think it’s the same car. coffee in my new mug. It looks so cute. I love it. I love the colors. So pretty. Do you love it? I love the packaging on these boxes. I love like minimal designs like this. Look how pretty it is. Look how cute this is. I got the best one. This was the one I wanted. Can you believe it? Look at the details on that. Look at the details of Aurora and this cup. That’s going to look so beautiful on the shelf. Look at the details of that. I love it. I’ve actually been really lucky with all the blind boxes to be honest because I couldn’t wait to unbox them and me and Dean had a little unboxing session in bed last night. Look at this one. So, this is like different artist professions and I love the anime character and I really wanted the painting one and there’s all different types like tennis, painting, guitar and guess which one I got. We got the painting one, the illustrator one. And look at the details on this. I’m not going to get the paintbrush and stuff out, but basically she has a hat and you put her on this stand. She has like a easel and a hat and a bunny that goes on top. Look at those details. Are you kidding me? These are absolutely incredible. Look at that. It’s so pretty and so inspiring to create like characters and stuff. I love this. I want to get another one. These ones are so so funny. I actually asked for these for Christmas, but I’m glad I actually didn’t get them because they were cheaper here and they’re so cute. So, it’s Lulu the piggy and the literally just I feel like it personifies me to be honest. Look at this. And it’s in the Sakura collection. So, we got this one. Look at that. What the heck? And it’s in a little Sakura outfit, but you could get different poses, but then this one’s my favorite. I can’t believe I pulled this one. Oh my gosh, I feel like this is me. Look at the book. That is hilarious. And it’s like fuzzy. It’s like this fuzzy material. That is so funny. So, I got them two. And last but not least, I got one of the most beautiful blind boxes I’ve seen. This is Tea Party in the forest. I wasn’t bothered which one I got out of these to be honest because they’re all absolutely beautiful. But I actually pulled what I think is the best one. But wait until you see the detail of this. It’s incredible. Look, look at that. Look how stunning the details are. I’m an Aries as well, and this is like sheep or a lamb, and I feel like this is perfect for me. Look at the details on that. It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s just beautiful to look at. And the quality is so nice. And this one’s actually like shiny. I love it. These are going to look so pretty on the shelves. And then look at the outfit on the back. Whoever designs these does such a good job. These are absolutely beautiful. I am not going to lie, I am so impressed with these. I only got into blind boxes last year. Um, but as an illustrator doing like Hawaii characters and stuff, and I love drawing like cute um characters and like nice outfits, this was so inspiring to me. I wonder if this is the same make these two cuz it looks a similar artwork actually. I think it might be. Oh, no. I think they’re two separate ones. Either way, they are beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And I’m so happy with all the ones I picked out. I feel like I was blessed cuz it’s all very like catnip colors. And look at this Aurora one. I can’t believe I pulled the the pink and blue one. So pretty. Anyway, oh, and I’m really happy. I wasn’t going to buy anymore, guys, but then I seen that this was like a limited edition one. Today we have found that Hello Kitty exhibition and we managed to book tickets on Clue. It’s like an art exhibition about Hello Kitty and I was like that is perfect. We actually went to one in London. We went to this cute exhibition. Uh you can actually watch this vlog right here. And we also went to a pop-up Hello Kitty cafe and I thought this would be perfect to wear for my outfit. So, I’ve actually put my Komi on for the exhibition today. And I’ve put my character Marshy the marshmallow on. Also, if anyone wants to add back charms but don’t have like a place to put it, like this doesn’t have zips, you can use like a hair claw and you can loop it around the hair claw. Just be careful it doesn’t fall off. Um, I’ve just hooked mine to the hair claw to like accessorize this bag. Let’s go for breakfast and then let’s head to the Hello Kitty exhibition, shall we? This should be just pointed this out. See in this public smoking area you can go in. So it’s not bothering anyone. It’s like all Yeah. undercover. Oh, they have coin lockers here. It’s a good idea if you’re carrying loads of stuff. Coffee. Oh, a hot one. You want Yeah, please. I’ll have a latte. Is it a latte? So, most of the vending machines, you can use your pass card, you know, that you use for your transport. Transport. Then you just select it and then tap t. One thing I’ve noticed is in the winter here in Japan in January, the sky is like really really blue. There’s only one day when we’re at Disney typically when we were waiting for that parade. It rained for like 5 minutes and then it was sunny clear skies again. Uh we’ve got ourselves a vending machine coffee. I’m going to make our way to Aeno Park. Well, I think this is a weno path. Ooh, this one’s nice. Bye, the um beer maker. Yeah, Tokyo National Museum. Oh, look down there. Let me just say Aweno is such a cool area. If you like heavy night life and you want like a good drink on a night and you want that kind of cyberpunk bustling feel, Shinjuku or Uneno is definitely the place to be. Especially if it’s your first time here in Japan and you want that really like 80s kind of Tokyo vibe. Everywhere is really well connected with the trains anyway, so you can always go places like Akihabara. We love Akihabara. Ooh, this is pretty, Dean. There’s like a little cafe called Green Park. How cute. We should maybe get breakfast from one of these. It’s funny how you’re in like a almost peaceful park, but then you look around, you can see in the station uh just past it. Wow, look at this shrine. That is very cool. People have put drinks there and they’ve opened the lids for it and put coins as well. It says the graveyard of Shuggy Thai soldiers in the Ueno War. There was a war called the war around here in May 15th 1868 and in this war a soldier group called Tokugawa persons old government named Shogai fought against the army of the new government and was defeated. So this was the last one. So it was the final war of the battlein and then this is the shrine. Oh the weather is so nice. I love winter weather when it’s like crisp but sunny. Don’t you think it’s just magical? All the parks here in Tokyo and Japan in general are like magical. I love it. Just saying Dean there. Like thinking of leaving Japan actually makes me want to cry a little bit because I just love it so so much. Like I love it here. I love England as well because I love the gardens and it’s my home obviously and I do I do love England as well. I wish I could live half in England and half in Japan. That would be like the ideal life. Oh, cherry blossom drains. Look at this. How pretty is that? You can also hear all the birds and nature. I don’t know if my mic is picking that up. For those of you who don’t know, I actually started applying to teach English as a foreign language here in Japan. That seems to be most foreigners gateway into coming to Japan and living here. And that was when I was in my very early 20s. But then I met and fell in love with my husband. So obviously that um dream got put on hold. And I believe it was meant to work out that way cuz here we are our second trip in Japan. And also, who knows, I might not have had catnip, which is my true true passion. So, everything happens for a reason. But oh, there’s some artists just setting up to play cello here. Oh my gosh. Have you seen this tree? They must have tied it to make it go like that into a circle. How cool is that? This area is huge. We’ve got an area here which I’m guessing is a theater because it says uh Tokyo Symphony Orchestra there. And then we’ve got a place over here. And just over there is no. Oh, what the heck? There’s some sort of big festival going on here. Oh, just a random panda with a sumo wrestling or wrestling helmet on. There’s a there’s a big stall here with like festival tents and stuff. It looks like a food festival. What happened? Look how big this pan is. I don’t know what it is. Smells delicious, though. You had to buy a meal ticket cuz all the stalls are cashless. So, we went and got a 900 yen meal ticket ready for okonamiyaki. Ooh, that looks so nice. Yummy. Lots of green spring onions. M delicious. This is very, very cool. We stumbled upon this food festival as we were walking to the exhibition and we got okonamiyaki. So, you had to go and get um a ticket, a meal ticket cuz it’s all cashless. So, we went and got a meal ticket. There’s a lot of vloggers here. Actually, I’ve noticed there was a camera crew, wasn’t there, as well? So, it must be a festival, but a special festival. But, we got okonamiyaki. And the first time we ever tried this was actually when we did a food tour of a saka. You can watch that video on this channel. And I love it. It’s basically like cabbage egg. And this one’s got sober noodles in and it’s like fried and it’s so delicious. And they put like mayo and like a barbecue sauce. I think it might be teriyaki sauce to be honest. Loads of spring onions on this one. And wa look at that. Yummy. This is our breakfast. Honiyaki in the sun for breakfast. It’s not a bad way to start the day, am I right? Mhm. That’s delicious, isn’t it? Oh my gosh, I love all the crunchy spring onions. Right, we’re going to eat this and then we’re going to head to the Hello Kitty exhibition. Looking at the stalls, it looks like it is a Hiroshima local food festival. So, Hiroshima. Yeah. So, I think they’ve come from Hiroshima, all these stalls, and they must have apps on as well doing some performances on the stage. So, that was uh cool. I’m glad we stumbled upon that. We haven’t been to Hiroshima yet, but I think next time we come, we definitely want to do more of southern Japan. We haven’t really explored any of the south. We’ve only done like um as far as Osaka and we would love to go do Fukuoka and Hiroshima and all down the south. So, maybe next time we come, we can base there. And I want to come sooner rather than later. But, ooh, this is so pretty. We all can see the Hello Kitty Museum right in front of us with all of this pond and these beautiful tulips have got planted. I’ve decided to copy the lady and take some footage of Marie on my bag. It’s so cool that he just has like an open fire, like an actual wood fire that he cooks them on. So cool. I wonder if this is sweet or if it’s just normal sweet potato. We’re sat in this really, really nice area just outside of the National Museum. And everyone’s having a picnic. Don’t you think it’s so nice, Steve? Like in the winter sun. It’s so nice. It’s lovely and warm in the sun, but it’s pretty chilly. But this is perfect. a hot sweet potato. I had to get it when we passed. So the this was 450 yen and I’ve got a small one to share and he cut it for me. Oo, look at all the steam coming out. Yummy. We’ve got two spoons. I wonder if it’s sweet or if it’s just like a plain potato. Oh my god, it just scoops out like mash. Look at that. Does it look all steamy? Yeah, cuz it’s really cold outside. Like this is like the perfect winter food. M I can’t tell if um he’s put something sweet in it or if that’s the potato. It’s really really nice. I can’t wait to eat the skin. It’s baked that well. You can just scoop it out like that. Can you see? And then it’s really really hot on my hands, so it feels really nice in the winter to have it. I’m so happy right now. Right, we really need to go into the Hello Kitty Museum. We’re going to sit here, people watch, eat our sweet hot potato, and then go to the Hello Kitty Museum. Okay. Right. Let’s go at the Hello Kitty Museum, shall we? Oh my gosh, it’s so cool. We’ve got Hello Kitty in the building up there. Look, I think Dean read that this is the biggest exhibition of Hello Kitty items and memorabilia in the world. Sorry, lenses popped off there wonky. So, this is so cool. The one in London was really fun, but it wasn’t just Hello Kitty. It was like all things kawaii and cute. There’s a 10minute wait time to get into the exclusive store. Oh, it’s called What? As I change. So does she. And it’s the um looks really cool. The largest variety of Hello Kitty goods ever displayed. Oh, it smells amazing. I’m so full, though. We’ll have to get it when we come out. Little Hello Kitty treats. I’m so excited. You can even get the crepe ice cream merch for it. It’s a key ring. Oo, how cool. A that’s literally a museum of Hello Kitty merch. I love it. Oh, it’s so inspiring. A look in the little Santa outfit. Oh, look at this 35th anniversary Hello Kitty range that they brought out. That’s cool, isn’t it? It was all like purple themed. That’ll be like ‘ 90s. Oh my god. I had one of those boxes. Not Hello Kitty one, but I have exactly one of those for my makeup. Oh, this stacker range is so cute. Look at all this. Oh my goodness. I want that laptop case. This museum is so cool. Wow. How cool is this style? I love it. I want to do a catnip golf range. This is all about the brand collaborations. How exciting. This museum is really cool. Look at the goddamn one. That’s so funny. I wonder if we could ever license Hello Kitty to use a cat name. That’d be so cool. If anyone’s watching this from Hello Kitty, let me know how I can do that. Oh, the Hello Kitty Shinkansen. Yeah, I want to go on it. That’s so cool that I got the Shinkansen as well. Oh, look at all these McDonald’s. Imagine collecting all them. Oh my gosh, look at the little mermaid ones. She got little shells on her. She’s even had a collab with this museum. Look at this. That’s so funny. Can you see? This is a very famous painting. Look Hello Kitty in the center. This is an actual canvas painting. I thought it was digital art, but it’s not. It’s an actual painting. How cool is that? This one says, “I created this illustration while envisioning the life of a girl who loves Hello Kitty and lives in another country other than Japan. It’s exciting to imagine Kitty, a beloved global character, brightening the life from someone from another place. That’s me. It’s got all the illustration uh illustrators Instagram. So, I’m going to stand here and follow them all. I’ve just literally stood for like 15 minutes and followed every single illustrator on that world. So, I was already following a clip of him. Uh, well, can’t do the rest of the Oh, look at these giant photographers. Oh, that’s so funny. I need a picture of this. We’re having a photo shoot. Wo! A lot of the items have sold out. Holy smokes. This must be exclusive to this exhibition. How cool is this? This is a demon tile of the Coroda samurai residence. How cool. We got a matcha donut. So, we just got some little bits. We got a matcha donut and we also got a caramel. I don’t even know what this is. I don’t Is it ice cream? Actually, don’t. Oh, yeah. I think it’s soft serve ice cream. And it’s caramel and almond flavored. Freezing. I don’t know. It’s like marshmallow fluff. I’m not going to lie. I mainly got it for the cute photos. I don’t know if it’s ice cream or just marshmallow fluff. It doesn’t feel cold. I’ve got some in my eyeballs. I’ve had some in my eyes since Hello Kitty shop. Wow. Yeah, it’s just a crate with whipped cream and like cornflakes and stuff. Well, we have had a really good day here. It’s got me so inspired, honestly. This is like a crepe. Yeah, a crepe with cream. It’s actually really small inside, but look, little soft squishy crepe inside. The crepe is so soft and squishy. Look at this Hello Kitty matcha donut. How cute is that? Cute. It tastes pretty average to be honest, but it looks really cute. So, I shall forgive it. It makes up in cuteness. All right, we’re done up in Lena Park and we’re going to head to the market street to get some street food. Um, and then we’re probably going to go back to our hotel for an hour or two. I got a little bit of work to do for catnip and then we’re going to come back out on the night because I want to show you all the market street on a night cuz it’s so bustling and it looks dead good. So, we’re going to have a little break, but first we’re going to head for some street food before we head back to the hotel because they had so much choice. But I love it here. I think might be one of my new favorite areas of Tokyo to stay cuz it’s got a little bit of everything. It’s got relaxing vibes of the park, but then it’s got like a a really bustling nightife. Hit the Mickey. We’ve come to the Italian that was just up the steps that we passed earlier. earlier in the day before we went to the exhibition because they do pizza and we haven’t had pizza at all for weeks now and I’m looking forward to it. Also, I’m wearing this top that I got in Sappo. If you watch my Sapper vlog, I got this top from a vintage Japanese store like with loads of clothes and stuff and I really like it. Look at this little flower on it. It’s really cute. Let’s enjoy this pizza and then head back out for sunset, shall we? Looks juicy, actually. Looks like proper storm baked spicy. Someone singing out of the car there. Anyway, we had a nice rest in the hotel room. I was meant to do work. I ended up falling asleep. Uh the cold makes you really tired. Well, it makes me really tired anyway. Anyway, we are going to head to Book Off. So, there is this big uh store. Is it here? There’s loads of karaoke in, isn’t there? There’s literally so many karaoke bars everywhere. Uh but yeah, I think Oh, there it is. Book Off. Book Off Plus. I think it’s a big anime store. So, we’re going to head there and then we’re going to walk around the market. Okay. Also, it’s such a clear night tonight. You can see the moon and everything. I love it. There it is. Book off plus. Let’s go there, shall we? There we go. Look off. We have to go to the second and third floor. Queen’s Club. Haley 5 Cafe. Oh, what’s this guy doing? Looks like Dobby. I actually bought the oppos the manga because I’m trying to learn very slowly how to uh read and write Japanese and hopefully speak it one day. And I managed to get volumes one to four, but it was missing number two. And I got it from Mandre, which is like kind of a secondhand store. So, I’m going to see if I can find two, but I have no idea where it’s at. Look at these pages or like mini laptops. Look, they look so cute. I’m not going to lie, this is very overwhelming. I don’t know where to find it. I’m going to have to ask called the hordes. Are you looking at Pokémon cards again? I asked in Japanese. At least he understood me though. That’s a second. Gosh, we were watching this in the hotel room last night. It’s like a book and it was in a anime format. How pretty is the art on this book cover? So pretty. 5,000 more. Oh, they have all the classic books, but um in Japanese. How good’s that? The illustrators. I just got this for Christmas, but obviously in English. Found it. But they don’t have number two again. A Never mind. I’ve got all this to keep me going. What’s he doing? Honestly, so cool that these market streets have like a train just running across them. We were sat at a pub yesterday. Uh you could just hear the train rumbling overhead. But these are the market streets. So, where should we start? These are the starts of the market, and this goes all the way down. At the moment, though, a lot of places are shut cuz it’s 8:00 p.m. So, like the fish stalls and the food stores have just shutting up, but a lot of food stalls are still open. I don’t know who we are, but he is where we were having a drink last night at this bar. Uh, but it’s crazy down here. Look how busy it is. It’s so cool to walk down here. You can see all the workmen out in the bars drinking. And we’re going under the bridge. You can hear the trains coming by. It’s so cool. It’s like cyberpunk, but it’s very busy tonight cuz it’s currently Friday. Anyway, we got some here now. And now we’re going to get to the market and get some food. Look how cool it looks. We’re heading right down here. So, as you can see, this was all fish earlier. There’s a fruit. Wa! Look shiny strawberries. The heck? Ooh, 100 yen coin scene. Look at all the street food. There’s literally so much. Wo! There’s just a wall of curry and food here. Nice. And you can sit out in the street and eat it. Honestly, just so cool around here. You can see where they’ve just cleared up for the day. But it just looks so cool. Look at these giant strawberries. 2,000 yen. Guys, we got a Turkish kebab. It looks so nice. We got some candied fruit. Oh, it’s stuck. Oh, man. Strawberry looks rubbish. Can I have one of your strawberries? See, these are quite expensive, but they’re really juicy. See, we are going to head for our daily arcade tradition. I swear these little tiny ones. Oh, it’s my first time in a few, but they’re so hard to win. The tiny ones are hardest. Oh, no. Someone’s not happy with him, please. Look at these. Oh, so cute. Right, let’s have our daily allowance in the arcade. H I feel like if you hook it right, it’ll pull off, but I know for a fact it won’t be that strong. So, I don’t know if I’m going to do that. A me. Look at this. They’ve got the photo booth here as well. You can go in and get some pretty pictures. I’ve just spent a solid hour playing on a normal advance. I’ve always loved arcades since I was young. We used to go to the caravan at Primo’s Valley in Scarra and they used to have a DDR machine and I used to spend just all my evenings on the DDR machine playing games and I’m also ordering one. Oh, this is a pancho for panchchinko. Gambling’s actually illegal here in uh Japan, but they have like these ball things. I’m not allowed to hold here anymore. But yeah, I used to love playing in the arcades. I spent hours and hours there. And I’m hoping to get a little dance mat in my gym room at home so that I can work out on the dance mat because it burns a lot of calories. And then should we do a couple more yen? It’s really fun cuz it’s only 100 yen per game and you get quite a long time on them. Whereas the clock games are 100 yen per try and the end of course I did it. Hang on. Let’s see if I can get it. Oh it out. Oh really thought that I could have poked it and like scooped it out but never mind. Oh I was trying to tip it over the edge. Yeah, damn it. We’re heading to Family Mart also. Oh, Dean. He’s a whipped cream sandwich. This is a whipped cream sandwich. They normally have ones of fruit in, but we haven’t seen one yet. They keep selling out. Oh, little square ones. Honestly, the bread in Japan is so good. It has no crust on it, but it’s just so soft and tasty. Oh, the egg sandwiches are nice as well. And the pork cutlet. You can also get meals and you just get them to heat up. But most hotels in Japan have like microwaves, so you can warm up yourselves if you wanted to. But these are so nice to be. This one’s slightly different, but I love these ones. Seriously, it’s not a Japan trip unless you end the night in a comini getting snacks cuz there’s so much to choose from. And the snacks here like mix well. They only had one melon pan this whole trip. So, my favorite one is from Banley Mad. So, I’m gonna get one. What the heck? Strawberry melon pan. Should I try this one? Got a stuffed cream fillet. These are all like desserts. Oh, look. You can get custard tayyakis from here. But these would be better like crisps in a grill. Like nice and warm. I freaking love family. Just noticed this as well. Caramel corn strawberry flavored crisps. I think I’m going to try this savory soy sauce and mayonnaise flavor. I actually really fancy salt and vinegar, but I can’t see any. Oh my god. How’s moving castles orange? Guys, I’m not going to lie, our room’s an absolute mess. Look at the service. I’m going to sort it out and pack in a second. And then we’re going to chill in bed and watch some anime. I’ve been watching anime just in Japanese. And you can follow along just by the actions. There’s been some really good ones on. We’ve just been watching them. But towels on at the minute. Ignore the messing room, please. A you see pandas everywhere in No because of the zoo. It’s like the winner’s mascot. We’ve just seen from Japan interview again in this part of town. Now, speaking of YouTubers, we are actually heading to the Lost Bar in Shabuya. We’re going to be heading to Chris Broad’s uh bar and Charlotte and Japan’s bar that she’s opened in Shiruya. They opened a bar called Lost and apparently it’s behind the Scatchon door. So, we’re going to head there and get his mature cheddar cheese. Hopefully, he’s got it in and try some cocktails. So, let’s head to Shibuy, shall we? The K9. Oh my gosh. What the heck? So busy. Oh my god. There was actually conductors like moving and pushing people. I’ve seen that online, but I’ve never actually encountered it before until then. Come on, crawl lit up. We didn’t see it there. There’s Hatchi. Look at the drains. There. Look at that. It looked like it like came out of the thing. Oh, it’s busy tonight. Holy smokes. Oh, that’s the busiest we’ve seen in Shaboo Scramble, isn’t it? Could barely even get by. Right, let’s go find. I found it. I think this is the door. Look at this. You can actually get Oh, you can get a little shot. Oh, we’ll have to get a little Charlotte. How cute. So, if anyone watches Chris’s channel, the Abroad in Japan channel, these are all kind of in relation. And this is from um someone called Natsky. If you don’t watch him, I’m sure a lot of people who watch Japan vlogs probably already know who he is. They also have the classics like Oldfashioned, which is really good. But I’m going to try the Too Much Volcano. First of all, I’m going to try nutskis. Go yourself. And Dean’s going to try the saff one. And then they also have like uh whiskey, samplers, sake, non-alcoholic cocktails, and I’m sure they do cheddar cheese. So, see as I’m British, I’m going to try the cheddar cheese. So, we got the cheese platter, the I think this is beef crisps, and then I got the go cooking yourself cocktail. I love the glasses. That’s so nice. Look at that. And Dean got the mint grasshopper. That actually looks so incredible. What the heck? I love how cool it is in here. Also, I love this screen over here. It’s got like snow and luji. But I wonder if this changes with the season. That is so cool. It’s like moving. I want to try the cheddar cheese. It’s good. It’s nice to get a little taste of one. Chocolate chip ice cream with an adult. Come by. It felt so strong. I’m already drunk. Holy smokes. It went straight to my head. Ooh. So, this is too much like magic mule. Is it? And this is a volcano one. I’m already drunk off the first one. So, I love spicy cocktails. Let’s see if it actually is spicy and blows my brains off. Spicy but nice. Like a Bombay bad boy pot noodle. What I’ll call it. They’re going to be wrecked off. We got another ball of fish. Come back. I did get another too much coffee because I’m like sheep. I’m very drunk. Hello. We’ve been here so long all day. Hi. I’m very drunk. Thank you, Sh and Chris. On the scale, right, one drunk. I’m beyond drunk. Okay. Don’t be a ghost sandwich. Good morning, guys. I’m not going to lie, me and Dean are feeling a little bit worse for wear today. We ended up staying in the Lost Bar for about 5 hours. We like chatted to a bunch of different people and just had the best time. And we ended up staying till last orders. We had such a good time. We didn’t even get tea or anything. And to be honest, those cocktails were so so strong. I could highly recommend that bar. It’s got such a cool vibe. I’m just really sad because on the way out I wanted to get a gachapon, but I was too drunk and I totally forgot to get one. So, I’m going to have to come back and get one. Anyway, I’m going to end this vlog here because as you can see, it’s our final day today and we are heading off to San Rio’s perand. This is me from the future traveling home. But look, some final look at Mount Fuji before we leave. Oh, the camera’s not picking it up, but it’s in the distance in Hineda. Bye, Jan. I am now back in England. I really, really hope you enjoyed these Japan vlogs. Thank you so so much for watching. The next set of vlogs are going to be my trip to Walt Disney World. But if you like these travel vlogs, be sure to stick around because me and my husband are going to be embarking on a big adventure as we say goodbye to my business studios to try and live a life where we travel more freely and creatively. So hopefully we’ll be bringing you a lot more fun travel series in the future. I hope you liked it. Please don’t forget to leave a like if you did and I’ll see you in the next one. All right then. Thank you so much for watching. I love you. Goodbye. I hope to see you again. But goodbye for now.

I need to see the full video of the trip to 7/11 😆🍸
I love your Vlogs from Japan. This one was so so delightful. I love the character store I have a business. I'm trying to create my own characters and start a brand. Your tipsyness was so cute and funny. From day one I've always loved your channel because you are just so open and transparent in business and in life, I hope to one day be able to travel somewhere and just enjoy being alive. Thank you for your vlogs and I can't wait for your next chapter of your life in your business. It's because of you I chose to step out on my own and create products with my images on it instead of waiting around for someone to give me that break to place my images on their products. Thank you ☺️
Strawberry melon pan?!?! Just take my money. 😲
Nice report~👍️😻😻😻ニャ~
Love your videos. Thank you for being you. You are my idol

I enjoyed it very much.
There were a lot of things that even I, a Japanese, did not know.
Please come to Japan again.
I think we need a tour of your house so we can see what you do with all of your little collections.
🤣🤣🤣 drunk Catherine at 7/11
I really enjoyed all your blogs from Japan! Thank you so much for bringing me along with you and Dean!! 💕
I'm pretty sure the Okonomiyaki that has the noodles in it is specifically from Hiroshima. I love Okonomiyaki! I make a version of it for breakfast a lot!
Your vlogs are so different from other channels, they just can't match the whimsy, personal details and energy you bring. Your videos do wonders for my anxiety
I guess 72 hours sounds better than 3 days. Or, are you just be following the trend set by other Youtubers by listing the hours instead of days. Monkey see monkey do. I also enjoy my 48 hours off each week, otherwise known as the weekend. .derp derp derp
More drunk Catherine pls, I was cracking up XD Cannot wait to see your next vlog! <3
Hahaha! The shop at the end 🥴🫠. That bar looked fab, I’d love to go there. Great vlog thanks. ☺️
Love love love your japanese vlogs, looking forward to your next adventures x
🗻🌄
Love this so much I enjoy the Mukbangs n chilling out I always look forward to you guys videos 🥰👏👏
I have been back for a week from my Japan trip (I went for Star Wars Celebration) and watching this makes me want to plan my next trip. I want to tackle the northern part of Japan.
Binge watching all your Tokyo vlogs, loving them! Thank you!. Also FYI the car you said you love is called a “ Daihatsu Move Canbus “ 😊
I would gave been RUINED after two cocktails. You are a tank by comparisson.
Those little pigs are soooo cute! 🐷 and I love the little Aurora with her fairies. So detailed and pretty. 🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have loved this Japan series, I can't travel due to health so I enjoy watching your trips and seeing the world through your vlogs. If i can ever travel again then Japan would be the top of my list, I will start saving now, as like you I love a good stationery store and all the cute characters, not to mention the food to try! xxx
They’ve all been so heartwarming to watch! and seeing how excited you get over the cute things makes me happy! 🥰 I can’t wait for my next trip to Japan so thank you for getting me hyped! I’ve been making a lot of notes from things you’ve done! Ha can’t wait for my trip to kamakura now!! 🥰
This makes me so excited to visit in 142 days! Sooooooo excited!
I really want to go to Japan but am terrified of how much money I'll spend on kawaii stuff!
Is the train system fairly easy to navigate as a non Japanese speaker?
Lol … seeing you get pissed is soooo funny…. great vlog as always
Beautiful as always, both you & the vlogs (and let’s not leave out Dean!) 🤗 Like other commenters feeling braver about tackling a Japan trip. Thank you so much for all the fun.
Bumblebutt of California says hi!
Ugh, I need to get back to Japan! I was so sick while I was there I missed out on a lot of things I had planned to do!
