Tokyo Unexpected Nightlife Between Akihabara and Ueno
[Music] so there is a big difference between Nakacho here and Kabuko you can actually find all type of shops that you can see in Kabuko the main red light area in Japan you can find the same type of shops here but in here it’s mostly local people not many foreigners only a few foreigners but in Shinjuku it’s a lot of there are a lot of foreigners there a lot of tourist so this way this area it’s Yeah it has a different vibe but there are some bars that’s from other Asian countries like Vietnamese bar Philippines bar hello hello what what is this one gbar gazbar really land what was the name landox landox landox landox land one set 2,980 so is one set is how long 480 40 minutes on set 40 minutes 2,980 oh cool is it Japanese or Japanese bar girls bar japanese girl youtuber yes hello hello you speak English right do you have foreigner customers no foreigners i can speak English oh how did you learn English actually it’s how did you learn English where did you study the school you studied English in a high school you mean oh then you are very smart so the bar this part is new uh how like when was actually the first day of this bar like very new like last year this year or this year april april okay oh only only two months okay yeah so So one set 40 minutes with tax or tax uh no no tax so with tax is going to be how much 25% 25% on top of this ah okay very cool yeah my all the viewer I can see that maybe they come to your bar next time yeah thank you thank you all right enjoy enjoy Japan thank you thank you very much thank you all right all right all right yeah so the cool things I I like it’s when they make a new bar they know they know they need advertisement so they really approach the camera nicely and they they want to be they want to show introduce but when they have enough customers and they don’t need any extra customer they have regulars they don’t care about the camera so that’s the All right let’s see what else we can see in this town before we move to So uh in general uh this area orani uh sorry uh nakacho nakacho is uh is not very old compared to Kawogicho so the the area near here is Amy Yoko which used to be a black market after World War II uh that area I’m talking about is just a few hundred meters just in front of us if you go straight you can reach Amyoko so Amyo is a black market so after World War II they started a lot of selling a lot of stuff imported stuff from America and stuff then because of that they made a lot of bars also some nightife area in the other side here the history of this area is connected to the black market after the World War II and oh the bus driver is angry all right let me show you actually the main area of Nakacho which there are many horse bar snack bar gears bar club bunny bar and stuff and then we head to uh nacho area sorry nacho area saying the wrong names to Yeah so from this side is very quiet from the other side it’s super lively because from the other side is connected to Amyoku which is a isizakaya area with a lot of restaurants and isakaya so usually people start with uh isakaya they go eat first and have some drink in isakaya and then they come back to this area for more drinking and girls were hopping so recently in Kabok area one another big different between this area and Kabuko in this area the girls can stand and advertise the girls bar everywhere but in Kabuko the area is actually limited and they can only stay stand in front of some their own bar if it’s there in the first floor or in the central in front of Kawuko new tower it’s just backside of the Toho cinema it used to be like this they could freely uh stand everywhere to get like a customers to get customers but in that uh Kabuka is limited i don’t know they made a lot of rules in K for safety reason I guess [Music] so there is a there’s some bars that we use for girls bar hopping tour in this area so some of them we have tried we can recommend some of them not recommended because I heard some stories but some of them a bit the price system is complicated and sometimes if you don’t know if you go in you have to pay a lot more than you [Music] That was a Philippine ball [Music] i’m going to go in from here so this area the whole area it looks like a square shape it’s like a labyrinth a lot of shortcuts lot of back alleys and each area has some [Music] unique shops another Okay hello Asakusa rock what you spend 600,000 at the cupboard in Oeno seriously YouTuber [Music] YouTuber that’s crazy new York where is New York [Music] yeah like I said there are no foreigners in this area if you go to Kawag you see a lot of foreigners this area is unique a lot of people don’t know about this and actually I like this area more than is more is I don’t know has a different feeling [Music] so the way uh the actually the streets are made in Kabukito is really uh it’s like a you know the the way that it’s designed is purposely like L shape is like a a that makes you excited to go to see to check out every corner so I feel same in here it’s like a enjoying a real game like a VR game you want to go and see every corner because you might find something unique in every little ali here so even walking without enteraining any bar is fun okay now let me actually find A good route to head to W [Music] oh it takes 20 four minutes to reach [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] there [Music] [Applause] heat heat [Music] the Taiwanese bar And I never been to I Oh I I’ve been to one Taiwanese bar in Kabuki yeah there are a few actually taiwanese bar yeah Chinese bar there are many oh so I mean this is a cool bar is a Thai bar i’ve shot many videos here randomly hello hello yeah that’s the actually she’s the manager of the baro it’s a nice bar here so we actually we went there

shot a video today is a Friday so let’s go and check that one out and then we’re going [Music] to head back to another area after that the number of Chinese callers about in Bueno is has increased in past 15 years yeah I think so it seems compared to even compared to like a before COVID I feel there are more there’s one this year what was the weirdest bar you went bobby said Tundra uh Tundra maybe Tundra is a club it’s uh it’s like a strip club sometimes it’s similar to like strip club strip or they have some strip show also they have a bar as well in the second floor so they have some cool stuff here and there like they have a few shows every year with new creative design let’s walk a bit quicker is far away uh it’s 20 minutes away if I walk very quickly I can reach there in 15 minutes maybe i go maybe I go from the park if I go from the park would be much quicker bye-bye okay now we are at Weno Park even the view at night is cool the temple from Yeah this area in winter actually is different now because of the the flowers the lake is not visible the pond oh it seems there is some special events daytime i see the stalls here is a summer version food festival or something so sometimes after the girls bar hopping in Oeno we actually walk here and also get some drinks from convenience store and just drink here outside is really cool now especially the weather is nice the weather is actually cool now and it’s a little windy so it feels really good to drink here like these guys okay I’m going to walk quickly and now the wind is getting actually stronger the wind and by the way there is a old adult theater here i think one of the oldest in Tokyo it’s super old over there let me see if I go from here let me walk from the main area maybe here is boring let me show you the the theater so the ticket is only 500 yen is theater it’s one of the oldest one in Japan anyway let’s go [Music] [Music] heather number So we are getting close to Isaac wow this one is huge and it’s almost midnight and too many people are having fun yes today is Friday and nobody cares if they lose the last train last train usually you can get the train until uh depends on the area 12:30 midnight but also it depends I need to cover up the Oh by the way tattoo thing is it seems is not really important As it was before in Japan a lot of places they let you go they do you in sometimes you just need to use some yeah you can cover it by some places they say even tattoo okay tattoo is getting less sensitive in Japan compared to the past all right guys hit the like button please then all right I’m going to have a quick walk around the Amio area which is very lively uh it’s a drinking area and then we’re going to end the stream [Music] so now we are in front of Oeno station so we start the Oo Gears bar hopping tour in this area i have to make it to cross the street [Applause] all right now we are in the drinking town nightlife town very lively usually every day daytime is a shopping area you can buy anything here like I said earlier like back then after the World War II used to be a black market here selling a lot of American imported product and also a lot of fish seafood and other stuff but now it’s a big really big uh nightly pac too cold oh this is a New isa new isakaya because of the flower can I guess this is a new isakaya i haven’t seen this one before the name of the nice [Music] You see people are having fun drinking and eating outside isakaya so isakaya system is much more expensive than restaurant because they have table charge you have to pay additional additional 1,000 yen but they give you some free snack for that it’s called otoshi and there are you can try too many type of Japanese dish like anything you want but little plates this why each one is like a 400 500 this why if you want to when you drink you also you want to use eat some snack and some food and then it becomes expensive usually if you stay 1 hour you have to pay like 5,000 y so compared to a restaurant that one is expensive [Applause] See so even in a hot summer this area gets even more crowded and this one this area actually is very lively until 1 [Applause] a.m it’s hard to walk [Music] [Music] hit the hit the like button the mic button is calling you if you haven’t done so [Music] it’s super lively here so I have to finish the stream in a few minutes i will

you Orange some people are hiding back home so many people are coming enjoying late night this area the restaurants some of them are open until uh 1:00 a.m only a few of them I think and but after this this area is like I guess is open until yeah mostly 11:12 it’s a few of 1:00 a.m and then after that for those people that they want to drink more they go to Nakato which is only 10 minutes from here the area that I showed you earlier at the start of this video so that area is a red light area a lot of bars clubs girls bar hot bar so people enjoy drinking in this area and then head back to that area which is deeper [Music] there are many koke also in here ko also is a place you can sing if you actually end up losing your last train you can stay in a koke too because it’s very comfortable you can sing drink at night is more expensive than daytime koke because they know that people use them as photos [Music] [Music] can I take a hit of this [Music] all right i’m going to the station now [Music] so here is Oeno so we just checked Ami Yokoto the area I mentioned earlier that people go for bars and more night life deeper area is over there nakacho area that’s the gate of the red light town in this area nakacho all right what just So that’s a new opportunity where someone is feeling bad it’s really sad to see people after having fun feel bad yeah when I see people that

Halo salam kenal sehat selalu
Devin's bar! 😁🔥
I'm a little surprised so few Honda cars mostly Toyota .Honda V6 performance for me. I could beat those Toyotas in a race. 🏁🏁🏁
If you guys are wondering why JE asks about time and taxt etc is because they add up so people visiting these areas because tax will add up especially at the girls bars between and including Akihabara and Ueno 😮💨Me and my friend went the other day over night and it is easy to get caught by the allure of hanging out with the cool and pretty girls there, they are so fun to talk to that you'll easily stack up over 10000yen and it is really kind of a reputation thing to buy the girl a drink too when they ask but they typically cost 1000 yen +bars tax each time. Me and my friend ended up spending over 200000 yen hanging there overnight which is about $1380 USD at this time. So always be mindful of tax and how much time you spent when going and it may be better to outdrink the staff before they finish the drink you brought them and go to next bar 🤭. It is OK to ask how much time you have left ☺😉 You CAN do overnight around there for less than 30000yen if you play it smart.
PS: Props to your content, JE, for getting me to finally go out there. I am usually a Shinjuku type. But Akihabara is a different breed of fun.
Hey JE,
I'm not sure if I have asked this before but does Japan have just a bar to go and just drink.
It seems either you go to an Izakaya or go to a girls bar where there is a program that you have to pay for.
What if you just want to go out and just have a beer. Yes one could go to the store and take drinks home but just a regular bar.
No concepts, pricing or restaurants just have a drink. Does that exist in Japan?
What I liked about this video, women were not covering their faces, that is refreshing.
Kanpai 🍻
🔥🔥🫦🫦🔥👍💋🇦🇪
Enjoyed thank you all.
boi, did i need this for a Monday night to start off the week,right to the weekend.
I’ll have the chunky tall one who colored her hair. I love her chubby face and smile.
I think I’d prefer to live away from the tourist laden areas. Visit Tokyo for sure but live in Osaka. I can’t stand tourists who can’t seem to adapt to the culture and environment
keep trying to tell these other youtube travelers that say akiba has no night life, bro its TOKYO, just go a few blocks in any direction and you will find something to do
