Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words, and hope you have an excellent trip!

I certainly don't think it's a bad place to try it! ^＿^

Good question! The duration is 90 minutes, with 20 minutes afterwards if you'd like to order extra.

Japan has been in a recession for like 30 years so the currency is weak so the prices start out lower and then conveyor belt sushi being so iconic has basically been optimized for this sole purpose. Like when McDonald's says they're replacing cashiers with computers, conveyor belt sushi has been doing that for decades. So weak currency and less workers and being an island, you get better locally sourced fish that you don't need to pay for transport

Glad you enjoyed, and hope you can enjoy it again soon!

@@your-japan-guide Sapporo is in the focus now. 😀

Thanks so much! Simple information to help people reach their own decisions is all I'm aiming for. I certainly can't claim that there's a "MUST TRY" for anything in Japan, as different people ultimately like different things for all sorts of different reasons. All I can do is present my knowledge and experience, and hope others with similar questions or interests can find it useful. Again, greatly appreciate your kind words, and wishing you the best of travels! ^＿^

I haven't! And that'd be tough, as there's so many different sushi options in Tokyo - each with their own unique strengths and benefits. But I'll think about it! ^＿^

Much appreciated! Hope it can help!

Correct, resservations are required!

Fully agreed! And okonomiyaki is one of those foods that's best in Japan, particularly in Osaka, in my humble opinion ^＿^

I hope you can get some soon! ^＿^

We got an idiot here.

I believe that's the case, in addition to their high sushi quality standards where they'd prefer to serve the fish fresh-to-order, instead of having it sit on the conveyor belt. The sushi here is intended to be eaten fresh!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Very much appreciated. Hoping to make many more videos that can potentially aid people in their own Japan travels. Cheers ^＿^

Thanks so much for the kind words! ^＿^

Thanks for the kind words ^＿^

Correct! This location actually has a conveyor-belt location in the same exact building. Though, the wait times for this kaiten location are often much higher than the standing counter location.

Great point! Thanks for sharing ^＿^ And while these prices might be great relative to US prices, this 'kaiten' location is still pricier relative to the average Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Though, their above average premium fish quality perhaps justifies these prices?

Thanks for the kind words! Just hope they can be useful - more to come soon!

Thanks a ton for the input - really glad it could help. Yes, Showa Era establishments truly have a beautiful magic preserved in them. Hope you can visit someday!

Great recommendation! It's up there as one of my favourites - the COSPA is quite excellent too!

I think that's a solid idea and I hope it works out! Though, i'd recommend having a few backup spots in the area just in case! But that's correct. As far as I know, the walk-in price is exactly as you described - you'd pay 4,000 on the day if there was space available during the session. Good luck! ^＿^

@@your-japan-guide Yeah, I think it is only viable because of the restaurant's location Also, really good content, keep it up!

Thanks so much for the kind words. More to come soon! ^＿^

Excited for you! Hope you have an excellent trip ^＿^

Thanks so much for the kind words. More videos on the way!

Much appreciated! Much more to come!

Hope you have a great trip when you make it out there! I'm not sure what specific type of sushi rice they use, but they might be willing to share if you ask! Great observation! Sushi rice generally involves a mixture of vinegar among a few other ingredients, but it varies from chef to chef. They use a darker vinegar here, which is why it doesn't appear totally white. They also add soy sauce to each piece individually using a brush, which is typical for higher-end sushi restaurants. It's nice because it saves you from having to dip it yourself ^＿^

So glad to hear! Hope you have an excellent time ^＿^

Due in Tokyo 4th to 7th of October…just booked the evening of the 5th …thanks for your advice ..it’s our first visit to Tokyo and we wanted to try some high end sushi ..and thanks to your great film we will try the ginza counter experience..thank you again !

​@@ashleyg6479 Thanks for the kind words~ Excited for you! Hope you have an excellent time ^＿^

それはぜひ体験してほしいです！目の前で握られるお寿司は格別なので、いつかぜひ味わってみてくださいね！

Currently the Sony ZV-E1!

Very much appreciated. Hope they can help you in your future travels! ^ ー ^

Glad to hear you had a great time, and hope your next trip is even better!

I think that's a fair and valid assessment! ^＿^

@@your-japan-guide Wow, I thought it sounded familiar. Thank you!

I believe every option on the link in the description is an omakase-style course. You are not able to change the order at the restaurant, though you may order additional piecesfor a-la-carte prices at the end of the meal if you're still hungry!

@@your-japan-guide ok, just booked a reservation. dinner is 27500 yen, and lunch omakase ranges from 8800 to 22000 yen.

Much appreciated! ^＿^

Thanks so much for the kind words! If you've done high-end omakase in the US, you might want to check out this restaurant's more extensive dinner courses, as these lunch courses are the most basic (albeit still top-tier). While they're highly rated across the Japanese restaurant review sites, they even have two locations in the US (both w/Michelin stars in the past). Though, I think it'd be worthwhile to try their high end courses right from their main location in Tokyo. I imagine their ingredient sourcing would be top-tier. Hope that helps and wishing you an excellent trip! ＾ー＾

That's so exciting! Hope you have an excellent trip!

Hugely appreciated! Just hoping this info can find whoever might benefit from it!
