I’d tried other food places than recommended here
Дизлайк за ии озвучку, досматривать даже не буду…
I am
Going to stay in Tokyo for a week but the days are not enough to cover though 😢😢
awesome food recommendations.
Hi I am planning upcoming trip for Tokyo for 4 days but trouble finding good budget accomdation. If you have any suggestions please share
And don’t forget to go to Tower records in Shibuya 😊
I’ve visited Tokyo several times as I’m a pilot , I found your video totally informative thx so much for your efforts 👏
And if you get lost, just ask someone! You might be surprised that they reply in English.
@0:38 When Jack Sparrow makes his lowkey appearance at Shibuya Crossing… 😁
so we're supposed to take japanese travel advice
from a guy that cant even pronounce sakura right
you are a grifter
Suica for Android as well
Fantastic compilation bro, i accidentally hit some of the spots 🔥
created by AI right? not bad for an AI travel video but really not helpful at all
I visited your picking all the most expensive places to eat at we ate for a family of 3 everyday for under $20 and all good food. I’ll have to do my own when I go back in July one that’s budget friendly and not paid for by the people you highlight.
Detail explanation ❤
I am planning to visit Tokyo for 2 days just after golden week. Will be staying in Yokohama and travelling to Tokyo for visit.. which all places are must have for a teen and parents who loves food , culture and animae
If I have only 6 days, Should I explore only Tokyo? I would like to go Kyoto and Osaka as well.
This is a really well-structured Tokyo guide 👀
Tokyo is amazing, but like you said,
it’s so easy to waste time moving between areas if the plan isn’t tight.
Right now is also one of the best times to visit Japan for cherry blossoms 🌸
and Golden Week (early May) is coming up, so things will get busy quickly.
Tokyo is great for the city vibe,
but Japan has so much variety —
Hokkaido for seafood + hot springs,
Okinawa for beaches,
all very different experiences.
As someone living in Japan, I can say there’s always more to explore 🙂
If you’re building your own plan,
you can try searching “suptravel itinerary builder”
it helps generate something that actually works timing-wise.
fantastic😁😁😁
Little feedback for future videos: get to the damn point
Hello.
Please search

Thanks
Cant wait going to japan first week of june this yr and staying at odaiba! My plan is pretty similar but the first and last day is turned 🙂 also since im staying for 4 days im planning to go to kamakura for the slam dunk picture area! I saved this video for reference thanks!
right on point
東京は、日本人が普通に暮らしている都市です。決してアミューズメントパークではありません。
Sucks that EVERYTHING is in Japanese. AM I SUPPOSED TO ENJOY MY TRIP OR SPEND EVERY SECOND DOING GOOGLE TRANSLATE.
Videos says to use METRO. For a brand new visitor arriving with suitcases in Narita airport, how the hell is that possible when everywhere Japanese language. Looks like a LAND of Frustration for foreigners and every visitor to Japan on this planet.
So if you made a video about visiting America, it seems like you'd tell everyone to visit Times Square, the Empire State building, and the Statue of Liberty to get the true American experience. You know where I'd want to go if I went to Japan? Places in Japan where the Japanese go for vacation and not the places they avoid because it's overrun with tourists. Got any suggestions for that?
How come the Imperial Palace gardens and the iconic Tokyo station square were left out?
Hello! I’ve been to Japan and stayed with my family for 22 days. We’ve been to Mount Fuji, Osaka, Kyoto, Yokohama, Nagoya, Odawara, and some places that very hard to remember. Anyway I found your video so helpful because the next time that we are going to Japan is the place where I wanna go to next. Shinjuku, Asakusa, Akihabara, Ueno and Shibuya. Thank you so much for the very informative video. Godbless!
I have been to Tokyo 4 times. First time we did take the train. It was easy to understand and we only had one compliant. Japan as well as most of the world there is no ADA laws. It was 63 steps to get out of the station. For me this was not ideal. We took uber where ever we had to go. I didn’t find it that expensive and we could see the city while going from place to place. So,e stations have an elevator but you can’t count on it. I love Tokyo we go in late October.
How can you go to such many places in a day. Bull shitm you itin is for 6 days at least.
I’m going to follow this , thank you
