hmmm,… it's true Shibamata is known for the series 「男はつらいよ」, but because the main character is a traveling salesman, each movie takes place in a different part of Japan. And, um, technically, tempura is not a " traditional " Japanese food,… it came from Portugal. I think you may like Kamata, Tokyo. It's very multi-cultural but without many foreign tourists I think. It's known for its Black Water Sento, but my relatives refuse to go because they think the sento places are scummy and run-down. Mitaka is extremely beautiful but kind of far away.
Yanaka ginza has been on my radar for decades, so famous from Japanese dramas, Togashi Gunza is now on my radar! Sun machi maybe! Great video!
So basically you’re telling us to visit the suburbs. It’s kinda like New Yorkers telling you to get out of Manhattan and hang out in Brooklyn.
So this is the title that won the poll?
I really like these off the beaten track kind of things, Nathan. Well done. Even when it is Tokyo. I like the fact that you also show some places that are worth visiting "east" of the Sumida river, as mainly all content about Tokyo is situated west of it (apart from Skytree and Disney). 👍
Awesome video. I am going to Tokyo in march and will have to visit these places. I am staying in sumida
Fantastic video! I can’t wait to visit again and maybe checkout those wonderful hidden gems ♥️
Great suggestions! can't wait to check these out!
hmmm,…. please excuse me for these recommendations … I think these places are safe from my relatives' criticism about too many foreigners in Japan … Tokyo National Noh Theatre (I love Noh and this place is pretty good) … also, in Kobe, Takarazuka … the women actors are so beautiful and talented !! … in Kyoto, Minamiza is extremely old and elegant for watching kabuki … for Tokyo however, if you want a " hidden side " maybe … the manga museum in Toshima Ward … I don't like manga very much but Tezuka Osamu is my most cherished author …
Thanks, I was looking for new places to visit in my 6th trip to Japan.
Great video with a lot of great suggestions.
Monzen Nakacho and Togoshi Ginza are my long list of possible places to visit on my upcoming trip. Tomioka Hachiman shrine looks neat but I'm especially interested in checking out the nearby Naritasan Fukugawa Fudodo Buddhist Temple. From the photos it looks like a very interesting mix of ancient and modern architecture.
Yakana Ginza is on my "Always Visit" list and will definitely visit it while I'm there. I'm planning a "Day of Three Ginzas" where I start out visting places along the Tonden Arakawa steet car line and visit various shopping districts along it (Joyful Minowa, Ogu Ginza, Kajiwara Ginza, Jizo Dori) and then head to Yanaka Ginza.
Shibamata is on my short list this upcoming trip, as I keep meaning to check out that neighborhood when I'm in Tokyo.
Thanks Ninja 🐒 I'm going to go to the shrines and temples in your video 🎉
Good vibre
Fantastic video! Well done! ❤
Shibamata is lovely. There is an old school candy shop. And the wood carvings at the temple are absolutely stunning.
There r many good food shops at Togoshi Ginza.
Opposite Watts 100yen shop, There's a chargrilled pork shop. U ll see a bench outside. It serves very fragrant and delicious tender pieces of charcoal grilled pork with rice n cabbage.
There's also a shop selling dumpling, panned or steamed. U can eat there, standing. Just watch for the soup as it oozes from the dumplings.
I also love the Indian restaurant n and another selling katsudon. It's give good value for the price.
The supermarts are also fairly priced. There is one very interesting shop that sells international goods very cheaply.
Do be aware of the expiration dates or near to…. of some goods.
We have bought from there often. Occasionally, there's Costco chocolate muffins which are super delicious.
Awesome, more of this content please. Refreshing to see content more suitable for the repeat Japanese visitor. Once you've seen the main attractions, it's time to dive deeper into the more hidden Japan. Not enough channels go beyond the main attractions.
thank you for the video. i will be going next March so i can take a day to visit these places rather than just cherry blossoms.
You can take a bus along Shibamata Dori to get to Shibamata from Koiwa or Keisei Koiwa too. Maybe good if you are coming from Sobu JR line.
I was at Shibamata a couple of weeks ago. I was sick that day, but I wanted to see the wood carvings at Taishakuten temple. I forced myself to go out there. My body just wanted to shut down from being sick, so I asked a lady at a shop where the nearest drug store was. She was able to direct me to one. I bought some medicine then I walked to the temple. After the temple, I then walked to a traditional tea house. We got to sit down and drink matcha tea with a sweet snack and had a beautiful view of the Japanese garden they had there. Walking back to the station we got pulled into buying a snack from a food vendor. He was out promoting the shop trying to sell some headphones. He even had a crazy hat on and something covering his face. He recommended the deep fried sesame seed matcha balls which were very good btw. We were sitting down eating them when a older Japanese man started talking to the crazy hat guy. They did something that made my girlfriend and I chuckle a bit which caught the older man's attention. He asked if I was from India (because I look Indian), I told him "no" then he guessed Germany. I told him "no" again then I told him "United States." The second they heard United States, they started singing a bunch of American songs like they were having karaoke in the middle of the street. They were cool and entertaining guys, good times.
You can see both shops at 5:10. the food vendor was across from the waving statue and the shop where the lady helped me find medicine is in the middle of the screen. Here is a link to the food vendor's website.

A couple of days later, I ran into you at the rabbit shrine that has the view of Mt. Fuji, lol.
