    And the film "Tsukiji Wonderland"
    Script:
    Our story begins 561 years ago when a samurai warrior built a castle on the shore of a fishing village called Edo. Its rich soil was ideal for growing rice and attracted farmers from far and wide.
    In 1600, the great commander Tokugawa Ieyasu won the Battle of Sekigahara, a pivotal moment in history that secured Edo’s status as the most important place in Japan.
    Unfortunately, the buildings of the expanding city were made of wood and paper, a dangerous combination to confront the warm winds of summer. Legend has it that on one particularly dry afternoon in 1657, a priest made the deadly mistake of burning an unlucky kimono. The fire flared up, ignited his temple, and engulfed 70% of the city. 100,000 people lost their lives.
    Despite the disaster, by the middle of the 19th century Edo’s population was in the millions. That’s when the military shogunate system that had ruled for almost 700 years ended. A new government led by a young emperor finally made Edo the official capital of Japan, renamed it Tokyo.
    Today, a century of conservation has resulted in parks covering 20% of the land in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

      You should NOT spread racial hatred based on lies.
      If you read newspaper of at the time of Great Kanto Earthquake, you will see tons of articles of Koreans killing, raping, robbing Japanese and setting fires on houses in various parts of the Kanto region.
      The Japanese formed vigilante groups.
      Didn't you see what happened after Great East Japan Earthquake? You think that is something that people can do all of sudden?
      The Japanese has been doing that for tens of thousands of years. Why all of sudden kill Koreans? You think they even have time to do that?

      One of the most attractive thing in Tokyo or in Japan is the 24 hours convenient shop culture, those small scale shops are distributed everywhere in Tokyo and they sell all kinds of food especially for its ready-to-eat banto....That tastes amazing and sometimes even better than the restaurant food.....You can have a good meal in a shop around your home any time within a day with a relatively low expenditure. Even in the midnight, if you want to find some food to eat, just go out and enjoy the snacks and bento with an lovely and warming packing......

      there is some of the stupidest comments ever wrote in YT here. among them , the one of a japanese nationalistic girl called jumpmomongaable.
      she said so many of nonsensical things. like if she thought it would be easy to undertand for foreigners. i don't get why many would be agree with people like her. it's just stupidly unfair.
      there: " people like you hate me for just say “hi” and called me evils bc I’m japanese" well certainly because they know about Tatemae culture , the fact to over-"lie" , using a fake kindness without saying their thoughs and abusing of their tatemae. also because there were foreign people who got a bad time in japan , facing locals who make zero efforts to understand them and refusing to be genuine with them. it's normal for some to see the things in a manicheism.
      "I never encountered any Japanese who fear foreigner in japan." it's easy to say when they lived in a japanese-only district.
      "I know most of them are afraid/ shamed of their poor English skill and run away if you speak with them in English. " perhaps they should learn more english then , they should know their country is very prized for tourism. and what if we speak poorly japanese? they would also ran away without recognizing our efforts to communicate? it's just pathetic.
      "I don’t know if I’m a nice person but I’m very typical Japanese." so this mean she wasn't not a good person. who was taught to overly lie.
      "I love peace/ peaceful loving people." of course because their culture teach them to be overly peaceful. even if it doesn't mean they're good persons . then she said "Have a good day" which looks stupidly forced , like if they showed the need to show they're a fake person who use their politeness like a robot.
      i don't really understand why there is comments like that which exist. if we had bad experiences with japanese , we have the right to criticize them.

      I don't understand why Japanese people are loved all over the world. They refuse to show us who they really are, they impose us formalities, they lie all the time, they criticize foreigners, but they mind it when we criticize them. They pretend to be good people but refuse to admit their cultural issues . If they all show the same attitude, how can you tell if they are good people or not?

    Hi all! You may be wondering why I hadn't published in a while.
    After creating videos full-time on CZcams for the last decade, I needed to take some time away to - among other things - strategize about how best to move forward.
    My commitment to telling stories through video never wavered, but I realized it was time to learn new editing/creative skills--mainly the Adobe CC suite, which I used for the first time to make this video.
    Thank you for supporting TDC! I can’t wait to make more interesting, better videos for you in the coming weeks, months, and years!

Each country have different mindset, some are one race supremacy other is all race equality. What is the most important is you cannot impose a different value immediately to other country it was a long game and each of it has advantages and disadvantage. You cannot denyng that world is divided by race because how different race has different thinking because accumulating moral, rule, history and knowledge of them.

      years ago i met an pathetically annoying japanese girl in some comments sections here. i have the right to call japanese bad people because of their culture about gentle lies . if she's bad at speaking in english , i didn't understood why she wanted to talk to me. don't tell me she would got "balls". she asked me to talk in her awfully hard language if i would want to get along with japanese but they wouldn't forgive me if i speak it badly! that girl should know her compatriots have too much of social flaws! because of people like her i have worsen opinions about japanese! they play their fake kindness , they pretends to be good people to waste our time!

    • @daenackdranils5624
      @daenackdranils5624 Před rokem

      there is some of the stupidest comments ever wrote in YT here. among them , the one of a japanese nationalistic girl called jumpmomongaable.
      she said so many of nonsensical things. like if she thought it would be easy to undertand for foreigners. i don't get why many would be agree with people like her. it's just stupidly unfair.
      there: " people like you hate me for just say “hi” and called me evils bc I’m japanese" well certainly because they know about Tatemae culture , the fact to over-"lie" , using a fake kindness without saying their thoughs and abusing of their tatemae. also because there were foreign people who got a bad time in japan , facing locals who make zero efforts to understand them and refusing to be genuine with them. it's normal for some to see the things in a manicheism.
      "I never encountered any Japanese who fear foreigner in japan." it's easy to say when they lived in a japanese-only district.
      "I know most of them are afraid/ shamed of their poor English skill and run away if you speak with them in English. " perhaps they should learn more english then , they should know their country is very prized for tourism. and what if we speak poorly japanese? they would also ran away without recognizing our efforts to communicate? it's just pathetic.
      "I don’t know if I’m a nice person but I’m very typical Japanese." so this mean she wasn't not a good person. who was taught to overly lie.
      "I love peace/ peaceful loving people." of course because their culture teach them to be overly peaceful. even if it doesn't mean they're good persons . then she said "Have a good day" which looks stupidly forced , like if they showed the need to show they're a fake person who use their politeness like a robot.
      i don't really understand why there is comments like that which exist. if we had bad experiences with japanese , we have the right to criticize them.

That’s simply not true. But it is factually and statistically accurate to say the Japanese are more considerate and law-abiding than their American counterpart.

    Tokyo is my favorite big city! Aside from a clearly great infrastructure and advanced technology, the culture plays a *HUGE* part why Tokyo works. You can see this by just walking down its immaculate streets, the way people respect each other where you can leave bikes unlocked and most amazing the precision of its subway. Hope to be back soon Tokyo 😍
