An interesting day of exploring Tokyo, Japan, the largest city in the world with more than 40 million people living in the greater metropolitan area. In this video I take the metro to the busy Shibuya area and show the super modern side of the city and then head into a nearby park to see the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine.

They love their masks, not sure why though in the open air!
Hey Gabriel, want to send some $$ for your Beer @ 30:56 !!! Please put the "$" icon on top of the page //
The metro footage was VERY inspiring! it gave me courage to travel to Toyko…the room looked NICE and the price was GREAT!
Thanks again. Soon I will make it to Tokyo.
Thx for explaining the mask situation as I had commented in your previous video
i noticed u do not see young people w dyed hair in this city
$15.50 for that food and a beer is actually a very good deal. Something like that would probably be close to 2x that back here in the states
6:52 Rebel alert!!🚨🚨🚨
Finally you're in Tokyo 🙂
Solid day!!!
Christ loves you look for God because the best travel we can do is to heaven with Jesus. God bless!
Awesome!… I went to this shrine back in late 2013 but could never remember the name. Infact, it was this same time of year because I was in Tokyo for Halloween. We visited the shrine more in the morning time and it was overcast with a misty fog, so it gave it this somewhat surreal and mystical feeling, haha.
Quetzalcoatl was an important god in aztec and other mesoamerican cultures, it's now a days seen with respect in Mexico and as symbol of national pride and identity. I don't know the context of that sculpture in a japanese park, but judging by the sculptor name (Federico Silva), it sounds like they invited a mexican artist to do that work and exhibit something cool in that outdoor space, just guessing, pretty nice nonetheless.
There’s a fashion district, I forget the name but it’s very cool. A lot of younger people which is kinda rare in Japan. I hope you get time to check it out
I am loving your food reactions the last few videos!!
Ramen looks delicious
my best bro you are good looking awesome thank you for your huge respect against cpec countries lot of love from your best bro viki 💙
You should buy a suica or passmo
Buying Tickets for metro is really annoying. You can buy it at the same machines and charge them there
I think Japanese wear masks if they have a cold or something else they could pass on to other people. It’s part of their culture. I’m sure all the masks you are seeing are related to Covid though.
32:32 expression on the face is priceless
