Let Me Take You To Tokyo

Let Me Take You To Tokyo

Wow. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. [Music] We’re in Tokyo. Let’s go check out this uh vending machine at the train station. You got all these different drinks. All you do is tap your iPhone. If you have a Suka card, which is this one, you just tap it there, and you can buy a drink. It’s pretty straightforward. It’s currently 11:40 p.m. We’re going to head into the city center. That’s where our hotel is. And that’s going to take us How long is the 1 hour? And what are you using? Google Maps. Yeah. So use Google Maps in Japan, guys. It gives you a very detailed information about how to get to where with also accurate departure times. They also give you the best carriage to get get on for your fastest exit. Correct. If you’re looking to get in there, we boarded the train and noticed that it was packed with tourists and also workers. Our Airbnb was in the Shin Okubu area, one station away from Shinjuku and other main districts in Tokyo. All right. So, I just wanted to give you guys a tour of what a a room looks like in Tokyo. Washing machine, microwave, fridge, dressing table, bed, double bed, single bed, TV, air con, hangers. This is the shower and the bathrooms in here. I would suggest that you book your rooms on Airbnb because they’re similar price to the hotels, but you’re going to get a much smaller room if you’re booking on like a hotel website because in Tokyo, rooms are small. And if you’re big people or if you’re coming with a lot of luggage, then uh you’re going to need something that’s decently sized. Good morning. Good morning from Shinjuku. We are in Shinjuku in Tokyo and it’s about 30°. So really hot. Shinjuku is like a main district area in Tokyo. It really is just an amazing place so far. So join us along today as we go through Shinjuku and see what we can find to do. Let’s go. Shinjuku actually began as a post town during the Edo period where travelers would stop to rest along their journey to other parts of Japan. After World War II, Shinjuku was built into a major business and entertainment center. Today, it’s famous for Shinjuku Station, which is the busiest in the world, neon light nightife, and also towering skyscrapers. [Music] [Music] You got massive malls and we’re going to actually go into this one which is the Tokyo Kabuko Tower and we’re going to see what it’s like inside. [Music] A must visit for us was Namco Tokyo. Namco has been shaping gaming culture for decades. They’re the legends behind Pac-Man, Tekken, Time Crisis, and Ridger. When you walk in, you’re presented with this neon light arcade. As much as Japan is famous for his cultural ties, you got to check out the arcades that exist because some of the biggest games that you experienced and played as a child, they came from here. But you need cash. So, this is what we did. [Music] Guys, there’s a money exchange ATM right inside the shopping mall. And you can exchange your currency here. They got like various amounts of currencies you can choose. That’s going to exchange some money. Rate’s not that great. 85.55 yen. That’s a dollar about 13 yen below what the market is at the moment. $42 essentially. So, you’re losing about $8. Most places here, you can just do uh card, but this place here, cuz it’s an arcade, they uh they want cash. Here we go. Quest Japanese coins. This is what the notes look like. 1,000 1,000. That’s $10 equivalent. Let’s go play. [Music] Godzilla was first created in 1954 by Tohjo Studios. Born from Japan’s trauma of nuclear bombings. He started as a warning about the dangers of nuclear war, but over time became a cultural icon, symbolizing both resilience and a reminder of that history. How was it? It was okay. I think the graphics were like PS1. Yeah, the graphics so fun. I know for sure that VR graphics are much better than that these days. You look like you having fun though. I I enjoyed it. I think like it was my first time using VR, so it was really immersive. But I think the game itself, like the first 5 10 minutes of it, you can’t literally move anything. just flying through and doing it, seeing Godzilla. That tower is pretty cool. Um, you can get really good views of, you know, the entire Tokyo city in a way when you go to top floor. They’ve got cinemas higher up as well. So, it’s pretty cool place to check out, but there’s no like shopping shopping in there. So, you got you got Namco, you’ve got um like a restaurant on the bottom floor, and then you’ve also got uh the Tokyo Matrix Experience, which is a liveaction RPG experience if you’re into that. So, if you guys go, go check it out. We walked around and explored more of the area inside Shinjuku. One thing to point out is you can’t film in a lot of places in Japan. We stumbled across this Godzilla head which pops over the Kapukicho Tower. Honestly, it’s amazing to look at in person. Now, it was time to go and eat. And we decided that we wanted udon because, well, when you’re in Japan, you got to have some udon noodles. [Music] 10 out of 10. It’s really nice. I’ve got I got the um hot udon with pork. You got a like a curry. Try this. Look how good the the texture texture looks. We will return to your scheduled programming shortly where we are currently experiencing technical difficulty. Tokyo was left in ruins after World War II with much of the city destroyed by air raids. But what’s truly fascinating is how fast it rose from the ashes. In the 1950s, Japan began rebuilding with a focus on modern infrastructure, technology, and efficiency. By the time the Olympics came around in 1964, the world saw a completely different city, modern trains, highways, and cuttingedge architecture on display. Tokyo became a global hub for electronics and innovation. And that’s why our next stop is Akihabara Electric Town. Akihabara Electric Town came into existence after World War II where this entire area saw an economic boom because investors saw an opportunity that Japan needs its own central technological hub. Akihabara then went into being what it is today. multi-story arcade buildings, electronic goods, electronic items, restaurants, bars, even anime figurines, whatever you can think of, it’s here. A lot of these anime figurines. You got One Piece, Luffy. What have you got here? Kakashi. They have a Kakashi when he was little as well. This is cool. This is what a lot of the shops here in in Tokyo have is just an insane amount of anime figurines cuz anime is from this country. Any figurines that you’re interested in buying? I don’t know yet. There’s so many. I feel like I don’t want to collect figurines again. So such an expensive hobby. What are your thoughts on the matcha so far in Japan? It’s really good. We’ve been to just two random matcha spots now and all the matcha has been a hit. They’re like the perfect sweetness. So, we’re at we’re at Family Mart. The two big convenience chains in Japan are Family Mart and 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven is awesome. There’s another one called Lawson. Family Mart on the other hand, very similar. Give a quick tour. You’ve got some soju. 339 yen. $4. $4. This cost about $15 back in Melbourne. Are you having this? Don’t look at me like that. I just want some green tea. That’s good. Apparently, uh, this drink helps reduce body fat. But I wonder how many of these we have to drink. We have to drink. V is going to get this drink. cuz it’s pretty much like going to the gym. I need to burn some fat. Burn so fast. These um these stores are like everywhere. So 7-Eleven. What are you uh what are we about to do? Going to play some crane games. We could just convert some coins. About to test our luck and skills. Oh my god. Damn. It has to be like One more. Can we get it? Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] Okay, we’re going to do the Chipua Scramble Crossing. 2.4 to 2.5 million people cross this on a daily basis. And every crossing there’s about 2500 people that are here. Last for about 30 seconds. It’s hectic. Let’s go. Just have a look at this. All of these people here. So many people taking videos. It’s just It’s absolute chaos. [Music] And there it is, the crossing of all crossings. We were just part of the 2500 people and we contributed to the 2.5 million today. [Music]
