    I do prefer this format enjoy it not being interrupted by same questions and people wanting their name read out. Thank you shinichi x

    すごく長かった梅雨もあって散歩も出来なかったので外の街並みが見れて楽しかったのと、観光では行かないような東京が見れて楽しかったです。

    Hi, I have been to Yanaka Ginza twice. Loved it. I was also scolded for taking photos at the Fried fish place. Will go back again. Keep up the good work.

    I like this format, Shinichi. It seems more personal, as if you are talking directly to one person rather than a crowd :)
    I've walked around Nippori but not Yanaka, so found this video very interesting. We like this area of Tokyo and stay in a lovely modern ryokan (Edo Sakura) in Taito. We look forward to exploring Tokyo again when travel opens up but enjoy wandering vicariously with you in the meantime. Thanks for the guided tours. Stay safe.

    When I go to a cemetery after a funeral, obviously there is immense sadness. But, if tending to my grandparents grave, it doesn't bother me. There is this intense stillness that is calming. As for the new format, a lot of people are doing this. I am fine with whatever you do. You are my own personal travel guide. I love it. YT has really allowed me to find amazing channels like yours to get that authentic Japan feel. I used to watch travel shows, but they are highly censored and generally boring. So, thank you and Satoshi for being so awesome! And Justin too. ❤🐶

    I went there in 2017. I got so turned around in the cemetery, I probably wasted a good hour walking around trying to get out of there and reach Yanaka. It was raining steady and I had my old, old umbrella which lost its ability to repel water, so I was just walking around like an idiot with water dripping on my head. I kept looking at Google Maps on my phone, but I couldn't tell what direction I was heading towards because the stupid arrow on the map didn't point straight ahead. But I finally got there! To soothe my nerves, I went into this cafe and had a coffee and cake set. Cake always makes it better.

    @coconutpanda Před 4 lety +12

    Oh it's so nice to see Yanaka shopping area again! I was there in January 2020 and, of course, pre-COVID it was very busy with tourists. It's nice to be able to see what the street and neighbourhood actually look like without all the people.
    Also, I love narrated walking vids. It's my jam. I know some people really like livestreams but I prefer film-and-post-later like you have done here.
    As you mentioned at the beginning of the vid, if you are arriving at Nippori Station, you can exit the other side and check out Fabric Town - it's a must-see for crafters!

    We broke the record for number of days over 43.3c (110f) here in Phoenix area. 33 and climbing. This entire week will be above 43! Crushing the record and our spirits

  • @Scriptor13
    @Scriptor13 Před 4 lety +22

    Yanaka is an area I'd really like to visit--so quaint and interesting. I'd particularly love to spend time visiting the Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines.
    I think this video format is wonderful because it gives you more freedom to focus on what's around you in the moment and the "premiere" component gives the video a live stream feel. So, viewers have the best of both worlds while making filming a little bit less stressful for you.
    Please be careful in the heat, Shinichi. Stay hydrated and be safe. ❤️

  • @jlartdesign

Cemetary was also interesting. Our summer is coming to an end just enjoying the sun and summer days! It is 91°F here!☀️

    I find that the weather in Tokyo and here in NYC are the same a lot of times..It's about 90 degrees F and very humid as well. It has been an especially brutal hot summer. I love Yanaka ! It's so quaint, peaceful....and so full of history and culture.

  • @shiran31
    @shiran31 Před 4 lety +1

    I remember that every time I've visited Japan, the hotel I've been too was next to Yanaka Ginza. I've been many times to the deep fried store, I think I remember by heart the area.

  • @medibbs
    @medibbs Před 4 lety +7

    I loved the old Tokyo area's I think in my mind one of the best parts of Tokyo I can't say whether the area I'm thinking about was Yanaka but it was old houses old shops, restaurants and bar it was wonderful

  • @gammasponge
    @gammasponge Před 4 lety +1

    Yanaka is one of my favorite areas of Tokyo. I go to Yanaka Ginza every time I pass though Tokyo. The sculpture museum has an amazing garden, and great tours. I was shocked to see no line for the fried food stall. It's stressful ordering, but it tastes so good. Thank you for a great video.

  • @samanthajohnson3368
    @samanthajohnson3368 Před 4 lety +4

    That was Soooooo interesting, I love the historical buildings. They ar so simple and beautiful in their natural form. I'd love to live in one of them, so close to history and memories of times passed, amazing.
    The cemetery is so much different from the cemeteries in the UK.
    Yes we have family plots, some of which are gated or walled by the cemetery you walked through was so organised and I love the fact tat there are so many walled units, it somehow feels so much more personal and loved.
    The protected wall is a real work of time skilled art and perfection, such a thing should always remain for future generations to admire.

  • @TorToroPorco
    @TorToroPorco Před 4 lety +3

    I definitely enjoyed my walking tour of Yanaka when I visited in May of 2007. I exited at a different subway entrance and initially got lost (those were the days before smart phones and Google Maps were common). I ended up wandering through the residential neighborhoods on the opposite side of the path to Yanaka. That in itself was rather interesting as I got to see the places where people lived and the smaller side streets. The walk through Yanaka was a welcome escape from the crowds and noise in the more congested parts of Tokyo. I found a peaceful park bench in Yanaka cemetery where I was able to sit and enjoy the solitude amongst the cherry blossoms. During the entire afternoon I spent in the area I didn’t see another tourist until I got to Yanaka Ginza.

    Beautiful Yamasaka/Yamanaki. I love this area...and I would love going to the fabric street!
    I love buildings from the olden days!
    I love the shops, Shinichi. Used book shop! OooooLaLa!
    A pottery shop built so long ago! Very special,
    Old cameras! A gallery! Temples. Historical buildings! So nice!
    I love the new format! It works beautifully!

      @PamelaProPeace Před 4 lety

      Don't worry - hopefully you have lots of time ahead of you .My first visit there was when I was 64 having wanted to go from the age of 18! Since then I have been back three more times and was planning to commemorate my 70th birthday with my fifth visit this autumn (until this ******* virus came along). I travel alone, stay in Airbnb or similar self-catering places, shop with the locals, use local transport and I don't find it expensive once in the country.

    Thank you for taking me with you through the city. It's really nice to forget about being stuck at home, and imagine to be in Tokyo for a bit. I'm in the Netherlands, and people are very disrespectful of the rules. So I don't go out at all. I wish I was in Japan during these times, where people seem to feel more responsible for the group. I honestly enjoy whatever kind of video you make. You're just a fun guy to watch. Please stay safe and healthy.

    I love Yanaka Ginza and have recommended it to anybody who travels to Tokyo. When visiting from Toronto a couple of years ago, we walked a little further on to Sendagi to visit a traditional ame-zaiku candy shop, called Ame Yoshihara (あめ細工 吉原). The owner made us a beautiful cat candy by hand, which then travelled with us for another three weeks through Japan so we could bring it home for our daughter. Watching him shape the small candy sculpture from a sticky sugary mass and then meticulously hand paint it was a truly joyous experience that I would highly recommend.

Found the Tokugawa grave, also by coincidence and went for a short walk down the streets but didn’t get to Yanaka Ginza. That’s def on my list for next time I’m there. Also spend time in Nippori Fabric Street bcz I sew. Thanks for the lovely video! I like this format.
