I visited Japan in late September, from Tokyo, Hakodate and Kansai. It was very hot and humid but I had a good time. Next time, I will spend the first day taking an easy and rest
Oh wow, that's great you did such an extensive travel from Hokkaido to Kansai. Yes, this summer was quite long and hot. I'm glad you had a good time overall and I hope you come back here again. :)
I spent 50 days in Japan and I still felt I didn't see enough of it.
Great to hear that. Thank you for writing. :)
Arigato! This is perfect for our short vacation in November.
I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for watching. :) I wish you the best trip in Tokyo.
Thank you. The local prefecture shops in Ginza is NOW on my list. Oh, and the Shinobuzu Lake.
I don't think I'm rich enough to even *look* at Ginza lol. They'll smell the poorness on me.
Thank you for watching this video too. :) I made a map of their locations for another video. www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=15aYRbf5Wbd-JTOMmk7ZLEgFCHkPq2tE&usp=sharing
A brilliant guide thank you. I have travelled to Tokyo 8 times and will be travelling there in three weeks. It’s nice to see places that I have not explored.
Thank you for watching. Wow, 8 times! I hope you have a great time in your next trip too. :)
Greetings from Romania! We were here!
Nice plan. For ueno if you are visiting the zoo it’s better to go before 3 or you won’t see the pandas. Any big attraction that require tickets like a museum or tower is better if make it first thing on the day’s plan.
Thanks for travel ideas. I tried really hard to get tickets to the Ghibli museum online on Lawson ticket sale day, asking hotel concierge and at conbini machine but no success. Maybe one day I can go.
Oh wow, sounds like it's getting really difficult to get the tickets. I hope you can visit next time. Thank you for watching and letting me know. :)
Thanks for including museums and gardens. Japanese gardens are so beautiful and calming! I could sit in them for hours just relaxing 🧘♀️
Thank you for watching. I agree. There is something soothing in Japanese garden and good museium. :)
I just visited Tokyo for 5 days and based a lot of my trip on this video. Thank you for helping me see more of Tokyo!
Ohh love your videos I will visit Japan for my first time staying in Yokohama and already sooo excited
Thank you so much.😄 I wish you the best trip in Yokohama and Tokyo.
Greater Tokyo Pass is a good alternative of the Tokyo Wide Pass. It covers Kawagoe, Nikko, Mt. Takao and Yokohama as well as all subways and other private lines. It has 3 days (trains only) and 5 days (with bus coverage). But Tokyo Wide pass got me to Hitachi seaside park, kawaguchiko and Ashikagawa flower park. Yes, I was super tired. Don't be like me. 😅 I was able to explore much of Tokyo since pretty much everyday I was outside Tokyo. 😂
Great that you used the full of the JR Tokyo Wide Pass. It's great the pass allows ride on limited express and Shinkansen. I haven't paid much attention to Great Tokyo Pass but it looks good if you don't use limited express and make short excursions for 5 days. Thank you for sharing your experience. 😄
WOW WOW WOW !!! MEGA VIDEO ONCE AGAIN BRO !!!
This kind of video is great! Thank you for making this specific kind of video. Very helpful.
I have the same itinerary like yours! I just added Yokohama to see the moving Gundam. I’ll be in Tokyo on the 3rd week of November 😊
Oh great! It seems you already have a great plan to go. 😄 Have a great trip in November.
@@tokyokenchan Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this video it‘s very easy to understand with all information. I ‘II look at the others too. Kind regards from Bavaria (Germany ).
Thank you for watching from Germany. I'm glad you could understand the itinerary. I didn't know the name Bavaria but must be a beautiful palce.
Thank you for your answer.Bavaria , simply means Bayern and I live at the foot of Germany's highest mountain , the Zugspitze . Kind regards from Garmisch- Partenkirchen .@@tokyokenchan
Amazing video! Arigato for the tips, will definitely use them in on month for our upcoming trip all the way from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you! Have a safe flight to Japan!
Love the itinerary ideas!
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that. :)
Thanks for the video! Im just back from a holiday in tokyo and i found your videos really helpful for planning my trip! Thank you for the hard work you put into making these
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you found my videos helpful for your trip. I hope you had a great time in Japan. 😄
thanks for video- have a good life Ken
Thank you. You too. 👍
Awesome thank you, can' wait next month as we are going to Tokyo .
Great! I wish you the best trip in Tokyo. :)
Thanks! Excellent itinerary 👍🏼
Thank you!
We are leaving for Tokyo this Sunday and this video really comes in rescue! Thank you so much,
I'm very glad to hear that. Thank you for your comment. I wish you the best time in Tokyo! :)
This is perfect! I will definitely recommend this video to my friends who are planning their first trip to tokyo ^^
Thank you so much! 5 days might be a bit tight, but I hope your friends like the video. :)
Arigatou Kengo-San! Every video I watch from you I learn something new!!! Keep up good work!🙋🏻♂️
Thank you Davy san for watching! I'm glad you liked it. 😄
Your videos are very helpful. Very informative and practical. But Japan in the summer was really hot. We still had a most enjoyable time though. Hope to be back soon and will keep checking on your channel! Thank you!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad to hear you had an enjoyable time in Japan. Yes, I like summer but the summer heat is finally finishing and I'm surprised how easy to walk around in day time. I hope you can visit in other seasons next time. :) Thank you again.
Great Tokyo itinerary.
Thank you!
Tokyo International Museum is very interesting.
Yes, Tokyo National Museum is a big museum (for Japan) and I think it worth visiting. :)
so concidene my ittinerary for December tour is like you share on video haha, Tokyo, Kamakura, and Mt Takao, I will visit that 3 area, hope it worth it.
Oh great! You still see some Autumn colors in December. Thank you for letting me know. :)
Thank you for sharing. First time to visit Japan and these are great tips. Do you by any chance do a walking tour for the day? I’ve checked around and most of them are sold out on the days my sister and I would want to book
Hello. Thank you for asking but I don't have skill sets to do that so I'm not doing any walking guide. I hope you find some good tours. :)
Kenchan san, I will be in Tokyo 2024, June 21-24… I would like to visit some bonsai masters and their gardens. Ciao, John
John san, thank you for writing a message. That sounds great you are visiting the bonsai gardens. You might know already but in the norther suburb of Tokyo, there is a Bonsai town in Omiya. www.bonsai-art-museum.jp/en/ I hope you have a great stay in Tokyo next January. :)
I’m going to Tokyo march 2nd just me and my son. We are staying in sumida for 8days. This video helped a lot. any recommendations?
Thank you so much Kensan. I will be in Tokyo next February,staying in Kuramae. I had no idea there was a viewing platform opposite the entrance to Senso Ji. It's now on my itinerary as well as Neo park area. Thank you for your hard work in making these videos.
Thank you for watching. Yes, it's above the tourism center in front of Kaminarimon gate. Neo Park is the one in Okinawa? I'm glad you liked the videos. I wish you the best trip in Japan. :)
@@tokyokenchan Sorry. I meant the Ueno Park area!! Thank you.
Oh now I understand. :) I like Ueno too! @@michaelwatts3986
So nice seeing all the places we went again, back home now planning our next trip but without rail pass.
I'm glad to hear you are considering coming back here! I thought everyone stop watching this channel after the trip. haha. Thank you for watching. :)
@@tokyokenchan in November I will have my 3rd visit to Japan but your videos are nice to watch anyway. keep up the good work :-)
@@nicolaebozbici5114 Thank you for watching and message. You probably know a lot about Tokyo already. :)
@@tokyokenchanNot true! I came back from Tokyo 5 days ago and watching your video! Wish I found your videos before I left. Very good information. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Kenchan, perfect timing as I'm in Tokyo for another week haha
I actually stayed at the Blossom Hibiya for the first few nights I was in Tokyo and it is an awesome hotel. Very close to Shimbashi, conbini literally outside the hotel - cannot ask for a better first hotel (or only hotel) to use in Tokyo.
What! Really? What a coincidence that you were staying at Blossom. Yes, it's a great location and Shimbashi is actually a very convenient place. I was thinking you were staying in Asakusa. How was Kyoto?
@@tokyokenchan I know I was very surprised when you mentioned it!
Kyoto is amazing, and incredibly beautiful
Awesome...thanks for your coaching....cutesss
Thank you for your comment!
Hello Kenchan!
Thank you for another useful video of japan, but can I ask you to explain the new smartex shinkansen update per october? Since Im going to japan next year during the golden week, I want to reserve the tickets in advance 😂
Thank you!
Yes, I will talk about that in the next video coming in a few days. :) Thank you for asking!
@@tokyokenchan Thank you very much! 👍
Wonderful video Kengo san! Did you get a new camera? I thought I saw some new shots in this one. Thanks for the advice about the crepés! 😄
Hello Chris san, yes! I was going to tell you but I got one Sony camera finally. It's difficult and I'm struggling, found out how great iPhone is. 😅 It's delaying my videos and started to wonder if footage is important for information based contents. I need lots of practice and study. I will live with this one though. It's great you noticed it. Thank you!
Oh thanks so much for thinking about that@@tokyokenchan :) I have a Sony too, an A7rii mirrorless full frame, it's a little bit old now but it is so fun and can take some incredible shots. But yes, they are so technical, and kind of complicated to use on the fly without being a full-time pro, so can take quite a lot of practice to get used to. I used mine recently to take photos for my business site and my new headshot photo. But I was going to say your shots looked really nice. There's definitely a more artistic quality to the Sony ones, and I think they added a nice touch, another level of professionalism to your videos :)
Excellent video. Where is the vegan ramen place in Harajuku please😊
Thank you! The vegan ramen location is here: maps.app.goo.gl/E5xX9UjCFXhfDHDN6 It's really good. :)
Helpful video for our next year's plans for our trip to Tokyo! Just as helpful as your past videos on Kyoto, which we are visiting this month. One question regarding Tokyo: we are planning to fly into Haneda, stay one night at the airport hotel and then use the Keikyu line to go to Asakusa and stay at a hotel there. Can you see any problems with this basic plan? Thank you as always!
Kavin san, Dale san, thank you for your support for the video! I'm glad the video was helpful for your trip next year. :) As for the travel plan, I suppose you arrive Haneda late? In that case I think that is good idea. T3 has Royal Park in by the terminal, Villa Fontane across from the T3 in the new shopping mall, and Excel Tokyu in T2. In case your hotel is expensive or far away from the airport, you might feel that it was easier just to take train/taxi to Asakusa. They used to have a direct bus to Asakusa but hasn't resumed yet. I remember you asked about the rush hour in Tokyo before, so if you are trying to avoid that, you might be able to go to the last stop (T1 and 2) by Keikyu and take the train to Tokyo direction so you can get seat for sure if you wait. However, I understand it's overwhelming after a long flight, so I think it's still good idea to stay at airport hotel. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Kenchan, will be visiting Osaka, Tokyo n Sapporo in Dec. Can you advise what's the weather n temperature be like then? Thanks much
I’m loving your videos mate!
Very informative and entertaining.
I’m going to Japan in Jan/Feb for 23 nights and lots of places.
I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to bring my Brompton folding bike with me to explore more and faster.
But unsure about when getting into shops, shrines, museums, etc.
What do you think? Is it worth it bringing it? Would love to hear your opinion.
Cheers, Henry
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear it was entertaining. I think that sounds like a great idea to bring a bike to explore Tokyo, but some places don't have an official place to park a bike, so you might want to bring just in case and see how you feel in Tokyo. Hope you enjoy the winter trip. :)
Great video! Can you share what camera did you use?
Thank you. I use iPhone 13 Pro and Sony A 6700. I'm still learning about camera. 😅
Where is the Daiwa roynet hotel located at the start of yr video ?
Great information and ideas , ill be travelling to Japan in late March next year
Thank you. That is in front of Shinbashi station. Great location. Have a great trip next year. :)
Thankyou for letting me know where hotel is , cheers
the best 5 days itinerary is to not make any just pick a train station, spend 2~3 hours exploring and to the next one. Just don't forget the time for the last train :D. Thanks for the video Ken-chan
Thank you for the tips! I agree about not deciding the station. Sometimes good scenes are between stations. :)
Sorry i dident understand if the ok supermarket in ginza has opened yet
Sorry it was in Japanese. The stores open in October 17th this month. 👍
@@tokyokenchanok thanks😊
Does ICOCA can use at Tokyo? Thanks
Great recommendations! The one thing to mention is that, for Ghibli museum, you can't get the ticket at the door, you need to book them way in advance 😉
That's true. I might have sounded like you can make decision in the morning and just drop by ... Thank you for watching and letting me know!
Hi Kenchan, I’ve been reading articles about over tourism in Japan especially in Tokyo and Kyoto. Why don’t you promote other accessible areas too? 😊
Hi. Thank you for your message! I live in Tokyo so it will be mainly about Tokyo, but eventually I'd like to do more like vlogs introducing other parts of Japan, so I'm kind of trying to complete the basics now. 👍 This channel is still small so the issue here is, (unpopular place x unpopular channel ) = nobody watch. 😅 And somehow whole other videos view count also decrease if the newest video is not being watched. I have tons of places I like to introduce in Japan, so thank you for waiting!
@@tokyokenchan I understand what you mean now 😅 sounds tough to manage the views of not just one but other videos as well. Looking for to more videos!
Which map app is available at Japan? Or just use Google map
Hi Ken, can you share the address or shop name of the local “antenna” shop shown at time 14:47 ~ 14:49? Thank you
Hi. I have a map I made for Ginza video. The red icon is the antenna shop.

Konichiwa! I would like to know if I need to get a JR pass. I am traveling to the ff cities:

Serious question about using outside onsen during the day... isn't that causing a lot of UV damage to your skin? It just dawned on me I always slather sunscreen on before going outside- especially swimming. But there's no way that would be permissible at an onsen. I hate sunburns and don't want to get cancer 😢
Outdoor hot springs might not be so fun to take the bath under direct sun or in summer. It's always better at night or in winter snow. As you said, you can get sun burnt.
Hi. Is there a Sumo match in Tokyo ?
In Tokyo, they do only January, May and September every year. The ticket will be on sale usually a month before or so. :)
@@tokyokenchan that’s great because if I come in May then I will be happy to see a match and I will buy my ticket as you mentioned one months before. Thank you so much.
Any recommendations for kids who are a fan of Pokémon and Anime
My recommendation is Pokemon center at Ikebukuro, Shibuya Parco, and some shopping at Akihabara. I'd like to make a video about is someday.
@@tokyokenchan thanks for the recommendation, it will be helpful for parents who have kids who are Pokémon Fanatics. We plan to be there for the last week of September for 14 days.
Is it easy to eat public toilets in japan?
Eat in public toilet you mean? I think you can if you like to do that.
@@tokyokenchan sorry it should be is it easy to find public toilets ? Not eat,,😁🤣. I heard that it is not easy .
@jenny3496 Oh I think it’s very easy in Tokyo. Either going to department stores or stations, or sometimes there is a clean public bathroom. Thank you for asking. :)
Be careful not to put your crepe on someone’s face. 🤣👍
Boring concrete jungle.
