Tokyo Hidden Gem Walk by Asakusa Line Subway | Oshiage, Ningyocho

Toei Asakusa Line is a subway line connecting Oshiage under Tokyo Sky Tree to Nishi-Magome. It’s a part of the airport network from Narita to Haneda, but many stations are minor spots no visitors get off. Let’s discover hidden gems of Tokyo along the rail.

    Thank you for another great video showcasing unique neighborhoods of Tokyo. On a previous trip, I followed your advice on the quiet neighborhood beyond Ueno. Wonderful!

    I love when you highlight neighborhoods like these that I don't see in most videos for tourists. Thank you so much for sharing this information!

    A nice video, well made. Very useful info for airport connections. I did not know about T-CAT before.
    12:25 this drives me crazy! They do not put North at the top of the map! It points all over the place, even on leaflets. This is so confusing. I learnt to bring a pocket compass with me, so I could work out which way to walk. Here it's pointing to the bottom left so the top of the map is actually East South East! It is probably pointing to true North but this is pointless, since a map is all relative. They even do this underground, so you take the wrong exit and walk the wrong way.

    2026 is shaping up to be a EXTRA-wonderful year to come visit our Japanese friends!! ( will be our third year in a row)

    It will be even better this year, given that (- – > thanks to Beijingโ€˜s latest own-goal ๐Ÿฅ… ๐Ÿ˜‚ )โ€ฆ. the visitorship will be distilled-down to more high-quality, well-behaving global-citizens!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

    I ate at Tonkatsu Oribe and it was really good. I was a little surprised to find something that good in Asakusa. It was on par with Kanda Ponchiken and Tonkatsu Marugo.

    My friends waited two hours for the oyakodon in Ningyocho. Crazy.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention Togoshi Ginza Shotengai.

    Tokyo is really a small country unto itself…there are so many areas that have distinctive 'vibes' with their unique shops, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment opportunities! I've visited Tokyo many times and haven't exhausted the possibilities – My advice is try not to plan too much but focus on a particular theme that you want to explore, for example, Kanto cuisine and grocery stores, shrines/temples, museums, clothing/cooking shops, bar culture, etc. this way you will not feel rushed and bewildered by the logistics of travel here and can actually enjoy being in the world's largest city…

    Thank you, I love walking around Tokyo without a plan. On my days off, I usually spend the whole day walking, from morning till night. What surprises me most about Tokyo is that, beyond the tourist hotspots, as you can see here, you can walk just 100 meters to one side and find yourself in an incredibly quiet neighborhood.

    I find it miraculous that the Japanese have learned to be so quiet. In the big city where I used to live, I never heard my stomach rumble; in Tokyo, I'm aware of how that organ is demanding food. Did it just me, or do you have a slight phobia of pigeons? he he.

    Another great vlog! Happy New Year! Weโ€™re returning to Japan in April for our 25th+ visit. As weโ€™ve done lately, weโ€™re avoiding the big cities to explore more off-the-beaten-path locations.
