    Transcript:
    You're joining me in a very special city. Let’s start with my preconceptions: I expected Japan’s capital, and home to the world’s largest urban population to be over the top and really in your face, with neon lights and anime at every turn and i certainly wasn’t disappointed. The streets are lined with towering, multi-storey buildings, each filled with mind bending department stores and arcades, offices to some of the world’s biggest brands and restaurants serving the best food you’ll ever taste.
    But despite all the apparent madness and chaos, spend a few days in Tokyo and it just makes sense. Here, efficiency is an art form. Japanese attention to detail is legendary, and it runs through everything, from food to public transport and urban planning. And yes, even the toilets.
    This trip was an educational and weirdly enlightening experience. I’ve been lucky to visit a lot of amazing places making these videos, but Tokyo is in a league of its own.
    So Tokyo, it’s big, it’s busy and it’s brilliant. As ever, let’s start with the airports.
    Flying from the UK you’ll come into one of Tokyo’s two major international airports, Haneda or Narita. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that Tokyo is a really long way away, direct flights from Europe will take a whopping 12 hours for the nine and a half thousand kilometre journey.
    So you’ve got Haneda airport which is roughly 13 miles south of the city, and then you’ve got 50 miles east. Fortunately, both are really easy to get to noisy noisy Tokyo. Here’s what you need to know.
    From Haneda you have three main options, the airport limousine bus, a taxi or the monorail. The airport limousine takes between 30 and 45 minutes, stopping at most major hotels in the centre of town, with prices increasing for the night service between midnight and 5am.
    A taxi should take about half and hour depending on traffic, with prices depending where you’re being dropped off. There’s also a 20% extra charge between 10pm and 5am.
    However the quickest option is the airport’s dedicated monorail. It’ll get you into Hamamatsucho station in 13 minutes and from here you can connect to the circular Yamanote metro line to reach other parts of the city.
    The metro runs between 9 and 7 on weekdays and then 9 to 5 on weekends and public holidays. That’s Haneda! Here’s what you need to know about Narita.
    Narita is a whopping 50 miles east of Tokyo, so all of your transport options are going to take a while. The Airport Limousine bus and taxis runs from Narita but both will take anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours to reach central Tokyo. Instead, take the JR Narita Express. It’ll whisk into town in a little under an hour, and with this being Japan, the trains are on time and super efficient.
    A word of warning about getting home; if you’re flight’s on a Sunday, make sure you check the train times because there’s a reduced service. Check your departure time, and then allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport.

    This country is incredible.
    The people are warm and welcoming, the scenery is beautiful.
    The way the hustle and bustle of one of the busiest cities in the world blends perfectly with the calmness of the temples is just wonderful.

      You can use passmo and Suica cards for any train or bus in Japan except for bullet trains. So you would need to buy a ticket to go to Osaka from Tokyo cuz you need to get on a bullet train to get there. You can also use passmo crds buy things at stores, and vending machines.

    Instead of the Narita Express, use the Keisei Skyliner. It's much faster, and around the same price. If you're staying more than 14 days, you won't qualify for the Narita Express round-trip ticket, and the Skyliner will be way cheaper.
    Also, why would you use single tickets rather than an electronic travel card? SUICA and PASMO are so convenient. They also partially solve the cash-only problem, as most stores accept them as payment.

    • @Sushicake666
      @Sushicake666 Před 5 lety

      Seph It depends on where in Tokyo you are going to stay. If you gonna stay in Ueno or near Nippori keisei skyliner is the best. If your going to Tokyo,Shibuya,Shinjuku,Ikebukuro your best option in the Nex aka The Narita express.
      I been in Tokyo 3 times and have tried both
      Narita express is the way to go

That is not so in New Brunswick, unless it's a franchise. But, as for me, Tokyo isn't my favorite part of Japan; the suburbs are. "Your city, please." (your guns, please) No, from a religious standpoint I seem lost in the city, and I know the suburbs... Because it's Saints.
