    Me and my girlfriend stayed in Nakano, Suginami after watching this video. Absolutely loved our time staying there while in Tokyo, especially around the Koenji area. So many great bars, cafes, and restaurants. And you're only a couple of minutes on the train into Shinjuku or Shibuya. Thank you so much for suggesting Midorizushi! Had one of the best meals of my life there! The owners were so friendly and spent much of the night talking with the locals and drinking saki. We've promised to go back there for the rugby world cup so looks like we will definitely be returning.

    Ahhh the quality of your content, your editing creativity, and your level of comfort in front of the camera/microphone have grown sooo much over the past year. And your channel is so unique in that we've been able to see your sincere happiness of exploring Japan evolve and grow stronger in every video. I follow many channels focused on exploring Japan, but yours is the only one that makes me want to talk to every shop owner right here where I live, even though I live so far away from Japan, and just be a better human being in general.

    If you’re looking for where to live in Tokyo, strongly I recommend to settle in Suginami town such as Koenji, Asagaya.
    I’ve lived in more than 10 places in Tokyo including Asakusa, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro...but Koenji is the best for me so far!
    Of course every town has unique interesting spots or shops, but Koenji, this town brings me fruitful culture experiences. And apartments nearby are reasonable I think.

  • @tetsuoswrath
    @tetsuoswrath Před 6 lety +2

    Japanese culture is so intriguing already, but you add so much more to my "if/when I go to Japan" list. :{D

    I was there today :) sadly Midori Sushi was closed but the Hattifnatt was super cute! Around Koenji Station the area has a bit of a Shiwa-Kitazawa vibe to it because there are many vintage and second-hand stores there but overall it feels less crowded! Thanks for all your osusume :P

    when i was in japan i just went to any station, took any train to any direction, left the train at any station...and walked in any direction for a few hours...without my smartphone or anything like that (i left it at home in germany).
    so...if you ever come to japan...try to do it the same way. you will be suprised about your discovery.

    • @jimmyhernandez7712

    • @Teilzeitotaku
      @Teilzeitotaku Před 7 lety +6

      you mean to the hotel?
      it's hard to get lost in tokyo (my first trip to japan, december 2014).
      and at my last trip (osaka / kyoto, june 2017)...keep calm, believe in your sense of orientation and you'll find your way back home / to the hotel. get hurry and you'll get lost forever. ^^

    • @GaryAa56

  • @TkyoSam
    @TkyoSam Před 7 lety +2

    Was talking to my friend about your video, thought I would copy/paste what I wrote to him:
    Short, cute girls, shows plenty of clips of them doing stuff, not just stretching their arm and filming, plenty of color, plenty of different good looking clips, she has music playing in the background when interviewing people so it kinda helps me forgot the not amazing audio. Again, the fucking COLOR is popping in this! Again, the shots are so great as well. Looks very well, clean, polished, not so shakey, she changes the angle each time they do a new action. You could say she gets cheat points cause she is pretty cute, but you can tell she worked really hard getting and setting up all those shots as well as all the editing she did for the whole video as well.
    Either way, really well made video. My only gripe is that it had the same jingle/song playing the time, but it's so small, easily can be overlooked.
    Anyways, THAT'S why she has 100,000+ subs lol. She makes high quality videos that are easy and fun to digest.

    • @internationallyME
      @internationallyME  Před 7 lety

    I have been to Japan with my wife who is Japanese. She was the best tour guide, but I remember watching the TV show, Tsuiseki. It was English-friendly and very educational about Japan. It is a good idea to learn as much as possible about Japan before you travel there. Good video. Domo. I love Japan and your video reminded me why.
