This is our version of a Travel guide to Tokyo in which we explore the neighbourhoods in and around Tokyo Station, Akihabara, Asakusa, Yoyogi Park and Shinjuku.
– ABOUT US –
Hi! We are Pooja & Shravan, an illustrator-engineer duo from Bangalore brought together by the love of travel and adventure.
We have traveled together since the winter of 2016. On one such trip, we started documenting these travels on a humble phone camera. We soon realised that we really enjoy capturing these experiences. We are entirely self taught (students of the internet) and have learnt from binging on brilliant creators over the years.
In our videos you might find glimpses of places that are not spoken about enough. We always vouch for spots that are somewhat the underdogs. Our vlogs are sometimes vlog-ish and sometimes a documentation of the place as we see it. We hope that watching these videos will bring a little dose of joy to your day.
We love reading your comments and hearing your thoughts.
They motivate us and help us steer our creative path.
With love,
Pooja & Shravan

Absolutely in love with the passion yβall have poured into making these videos as always !
Fantastic video guys!! Great cinematic shots, you captured the vibe, and have made us so excited to go there later this year!! Really helpful splitting up the video into the different neighbourhoods, the nightlife scene looks amazing! β€
Awesome content. I and my family are great fans of your videos. Just curious to know, what camera and lens you use for making your video?
Amazing is an understatement for what you guys have done! Your video not only makes one fall in love with the place but also with you guys as storytellers and
travellers. You brought a smile to my face. Your enthusiasm and excitement is contagious π I want to know Pooj's prediction π
I am at 3 minute mark, watching this video you curated. In love with the music choice, editing, cinematography. Great Job.!!
im going 11th may which is perfect cuz i heard they removing covid restrictions on 8th may
thank u guys. this is the best quality of filmmaking about travel. best wishes for u π€
Man! So good.
amazing guys, just amazed by your cinematography editing and voice-over song selection, keep it going…
Welcome to Japan!πOsaka Nara Hiroshima Fukuoka Okinawa Hokkaido! Other cities are also wonderful.π
Brilliantly made π«Άπ½π«Άπ½
Loving this longer-form video format. Really well shot! Have a wonderful rest of your trip. Are you going to post more videos from Japan?
This is the most soulful and thoughtful videos of Tokyo I've seen. Your cinematography is phenomenal.
Absolutely fantastic Shravan!! lot of info , I haven't seen all of your travel guides, but this video made me to watch all of your travel guides. will be watching soon! well done π
Cant wait to see Australia.π
Just got time to watch this and wow! The way you guys take the video in a story-wise manner really kept me invested. Can't wait for your other Japan videos to drop.
amazing ! it was a pleasure very cinematic. I like the way Tokyo was presented. It changed my perception towards Tokyo. It makes me wonder, that if its so perfect then when are the people in Tokyo are lonely OR its not true ? I hope the channel growth is exponential and the tours are sponsored perpetually π I can understand the love for trains because I also love trains. 15.43 needs video stabilization.
Awesome Pooja…. really want to see more of Japan…hoping to see more about the stay n flight n all of the details u did in Japanβ€
Once again, amazing video that is of the highest production quality with great content and captivating visuals. Japan is my bucketlist country to visit ever since I got hooked to Murakami.
One quibble though – when you mentioned in the intro that you would be showing Shinjuku, I was sure you would show the Shinjuku train station but it was not meant to be. If there was one place I would definitely love to see and get lost in is THAT station π
Have you two thought at all about partnering with local tourism boards or agencies back home to advertise the places you travel through?
Guys you are awesome. All the best. We are waiting for more visual wonders β€
Pooja &shraven loves your videos with charming faces thanks for this visual treat…. What clean country… Punctual… As usual dop, cuts, presentaion, direction….. Great.loves from kerala (ΰ΄ΰ΅ΰ΄°ΰ΄³ΰ΄)
The best video of Japan i have seen ever. Thanks to Pooja & Shravan. And what an amazing story telling of Japan i just saw. Keep making great videos and work.
So well crafted! Kudos both of you – excellent shots! I admire the thought and effort you put into each video! Only wish you reach a wider audience…π
Its such a fascinating and truly ascetic video, enjoyed watching it and really appreciate all the hard work gone behind making this video, you both will rise and shine and keep on doing the great job… Your video is going to be a bench mark for many creators and there is so much to learn apart from being mesmerized watching the video…
Beautiful Cinematography and epic storytelling ! What a blissful combination ! Can't wait to watch more …
Guys! Never stop making this kind of videos! I found you via instagram.. love your videos on both platform! Keep up the good work! β€ Once I get back to my home, I will watch this again on TV..π
Suchhhh a nice video:)) miss you guys!!
