My unexpected experiences during a day trip to Tokyo

[Music] [Music] Well, it’s 9:10 in the morning. I’m checking shots in 10 15 minutes. So try and see if we can get to Manchester airport in time. If not, my contingency plan so I don’t miss my flight is I came to the back of the car. I’ll take some quick stuff that I need. So if it comes to I’ll just jump through security and travel backpack.

PREVIEW OF MY JAPAN SERIES COMING SOON

This trip to Tokyo very nearly never happened…

I’d planned it for months — but life, as ever, had other ideas.
A family emergency. Last-minute drama.
And somehow, I left the house just 55 minutes before takeoff.

I even managed to leave every single camera behind — but remembered the batteries and cables… so this entire adventure? Shot on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

No Japanese yen.No tickets to TeamLab or Disneyland.A shoestring backpacker’s budget… and just enough time to sprint to the gate.

I’m Martin — and this is my first-ever trip to Tokyo.
Over this series, join me as I uncover the culture, kindness, and controlled chaos that makes Tokyo unforgettable — armed only with determination… and a fully-charged phone.

So buckle up — for travel triumphs, wild misadventures, and everything in between.

This is Tokyo: Unplanned.
