Omg so glad this video helped!! :D
I will check this out when I go to Japan again thanks
Thanks! Hope you do!
Instant sub for the coolness of the vid.
Thank you!
I remember when I was in Tokyo they had a coffee bar and the girls dressed up like school girls...and they pretended you were bad so they had to discipline you and they would get a ruler out and spank you. That by far beats any starbucks.
Imagine thinking Starbucks has good coffee.
@@330newsandmediagroup7 where do you get your coffee?
Sweeeet
Anything would beat Starbucks poo coffee!
Comparing diamond to a turd!
very cool! love the secret bars in tokyo but i do prefer the ones i used to go to in sancha - most are ¥1000 for the first drink and ¥700 for all drinks after that. great music and interesting/lively crowd too!
Definitely much more affordable! I will try to do a series on that too!
A10 has me, i will visit it when i have my 2 years in japan
All the bars look really cool, especially the Bin bar. But as a lowly English teacher with three kids in Hokkaido, 6000 yen for three drinks is really steep. I'd hope the cocktails are absolutely amazing!
It is steep i admit even for tokyo dwellers. I am making part 2 of this video, and was more shocked by some of the prices.
damn
very nice places
Great new Channel for me. nice to find
Thanks a lot! Will update part 2 soon! Stay tuned!
nice!
Went to Janai coffe last year, and it was wonderful! They're drinks were such an experience and so good. The staff there were so wonderful as well! I loved the name of the place too, so funny! Literally "Not Coffee", but posed as a coffee shop :) P.S. - They do serve coffee too and it was great to be able to get one to go at the end of the night!
Glad you had a great experience! Yes i was surprised that they actually gave us coffee when we left the place to “keep up with the disguise” haha
5000 yen for allegedly the best cocktails in town (3x) is a complete steal, especially smack in the middle of Tokyo! Is it _that_ cheap to drink in Japan?
This is actually considered expensive in Tokyo! Normal drinks are cheaper but I would not consider those “real” cocktails - it’s usually not very strong
With a price like that they should really be hiding 😂
I love these architectural designs for privacy and side quest type locations! Arigato gozaimasu!🎩
Definitely feels like a side quest haha
All of them very interesting. The last one would be no 1 for me, with the fruitie coctails. I would like to see organic great resturants.. :D
Thanks! Will keep this idea in mind!
I liked the first 1!!!
Hi, Such a great inspiring video. Living in US for more than 2 decades (although I'm Japanese but have very limited knowledge of bars in Japan), I want to try visiting these bar this month. By the way, is it really easy to walk-in to these bars? I mean, do they accept first-time customers? Just curious. Anyway, thanks for lovely info!
Thanks for the lovely comment! Some of the bars might require a reservation - Jianai coffee for instance needs reservations online. As for other bars, first timer is totally fine! They are welcoming!
@@Nihonhack Thanks!!!
I love this Channell , I want to go later Tokyo , my lady is Thai-lady !
Thank you for this nice Video !

Fun concept! Perhaps part two with less American (speakeasy) influence? 💋ty
Thanks for the feedback! Will keep this in mind!
You R right about the alleys,Manhattan is the same way,Lived & Performed in Japan 7 Years &
worked Security.Good Times,I was lucky I knew People,Still do.Take Care :Good Job.😲💯🕵♂🕵♀
One of the best things about Japan, is it so safe. Unlike New York or other places in Europe or America.
Be mindful of the rules of the bar, spoken and unspoken. Especially if you're a tourist. This is ok but I recommend to be able to speak some Japanese. Many of these bars don't have anyone speaking English. Ebisu and Shinjuku are typical foreigner hangouts. There are many other areas to try so explore a bit more 😉
Not that hidden anymore, are they?
Wife and I are coming to Tokyo next month and would like to visit Janai Coffee, but I know how mobile phones are going to have issues there, will the staff at Janai help with entry if was have problems connecting to get the code from the website?
Welcome to Tokyo! I think there’s wifi below and the staff will help. Although I didn’t have any issues with connection there :)
@@Nihonhack thank you
I'm thinking about traveling to Tokyo soon, what's must do and eat?
Mmm have you tried Monjayaki? Its a specialty of Tsukishima and very much a Tokyo thing!
As for must do, Tokyo tower has a fantastic night view! Also try looking for food in the alleyways of Harajuku is not a bad idea too!
@@Nihonhack thank you
Those masks in the open remind me why Japan is so nice and dreadful at the same time, dont you worry you can have it all , we wont come bringing deadly germs lol and i promise i am sorting my trash with love sensei!
Very interesting! I wonder how do people find these places 🧐
Some of them i found on the internet and others only by friends bringing me there haha
I prefer Izakayas over dance clubs.
Yes, easier to meet people.
Do you give tours??
Sorry i do not. Thanks for asking though
really cool! i just wish these places werent so expensive :']
Yeah they are quite pricy >
What is the song used in the intro?
Covert Affair by Kevin McLeod
Life has hidden turns😂🐫
Indeed :)
Your are on the right track. Your video is professional looking, but you need a little more pizaaz when introducing the bars. For instance, the 3rd bar behind the lockers, we didn't even get to 10 seconds of footage. I'd also recommend more energy when introducing the spots.
Thank you for the feedback! Yes i am aware of the short coming of the 3rd bar because it was filmed on a separate day with iphone. Will try to be better and more consistent with part 2! We are in planning and will publish a part 2 soon! Stay tuned!
Hi
Where you from
Gimmicks😂
It seems like we could find konoha if we actually try to find😂😂
😂
even if you don't speak japanese it alright right?
Yes i think some places can manage speaking in English! Prepare to use google translate :)
@@Nihonhack well thank god for google translate 😆😆
Secrete? NO!!! Secret!
Oops! Thanks for catching! Just corrected the typo
Now not so secret anymore.
I guess they aren't 'top-secret' bars any longer eh? If this brings a ton of tourists - it will also bring the undying enmity of the locals. But hey. clicks.
Good point haha i am planning part 2 of secret bar series, stay tuned!
Really need to spend a minute or 2 showing & describing the bars, not just the place to find them .
Will keep this in mind for the next video!
Nah, prices may be all right for Tokyo, but my common sense tells me they are way to steep. I go to a bar to get intoxicated not to admire the surroundings as a I would normally do in a museum. I'll skip your suggestions. Thanks but no thanks.
Actually these prices are high for tokyo! Each to their own of course.
Not top secret anymore
show us some BDSM lgbt underground 20+ bars in Shinjuku
thanks but your camera is awful for video
Had a sony 6400 but upgraded recently
@@Nihonhack 👏 this is great
Hi thanks for the video, I’m heading to Tokyo within a few days so this is rly helpful 😊 um if I may, could u recommend a lounge or bar where a lot of expats hang? Preferably somewhere nice and no budget limits! Besides the local bars and small dinings, I’d also like to experience and mingle with people who live there. Again, thanks for the video!🤍
Try Mikis Art Cafe in Hatagaya!
Lots of girly bars that are hidden also
