And the film "Tsukiji Wonderland"
Script:
Our story begins 561 years ago when a samurai warrior built a castle on the shore of a fishing village called Edo. Its rich soil was ideal for growing rice and attracted farmers from far and wide.
In 1600, the great commander Tokugawa Ieyasu won the Battle of Sekigahara, a pivotal moment in history that secured Edo’s status as the most important place in Japan.
Unfortunately, the buildings of the expanding city were made of wood and paper, a dangerous combination to confront the warm winds of summer. Legend has it that on one particularly dry afternoon in 1657, a priest made the deadly mistake of burning an unlucky kimono. The fire flared up, ignited his temple, and engulfed 70% of the city. 100,000 people lost their lives.
Despite the disaster, by the middle of the 19th century Edo’s population was in the millions. That’s when the military shogunate system that had ruled for almost 700 years ended. A new government led by a young emperor finally made Edo the official capital of Japan, renamed it Tokyo.
Today, a century of conservation has resulted in parks covering 20% of the land in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Yes! Glad to see you're still at it! You're one of the few people that looks at global issues in a positive way
As the great FDR said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." I have immense, unwavering confidence in the hardworking, intelligent, creative people of our generation to continue building a better world.
my friends and family never understand my positivity and belief that we can achieve great things, they look at problems we're facing with negativity, fear and a sense of hopelessness, so it's really great to find people who look at the future with wonder and don't shy away from it
The Daily Conversation FDR was terribly wrong. Fear of how rotten people are is not something to fear, it’s something to motivate.

You should NOT spread racial hatred based on lies.
If you read newspaper of at the time of Great Kanto Earthquake, you will see tons of articles of Koreans killing, raping, robbing Japanese and setting fires on houses in various parts of the Kanto region.
The Japanese formed vigilante groups.
Didn't you see what happened after Great East Japan Earthquake? You think that is something that people can do all of sudden?
The Japanese has been doing that for tens of thousands of years. Why all of sudden kill Koreans? You think they even have time to do that?
You are spreading hatred based on Korean lies. They are professional victims. It is about the time the world should know that.
No matter how advanced their infrastructure are, one thing is enough to admire Tokyo: their citizen's discipline and orderliness. That's is top notch

As an American, I am dumbfounded by why we are so behind. I wonder if Japan and Germany ever wonder how advanced and dominating they would be if WWII didn't happen.

So true... I've been to 60 countries and probably a thousand cities and I always say that Japan sets a standard for a megopolis.. Safe, easy to get around, great commerce, and nearly unlimited things to do. It is one of my favorite modern urban centers in the world next to Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, and London
What is better about Singapore than Tokyo?
One of the most attractive thing in Tokyo or in Japan is the 24 hours convenient shop culture, those small scale shops are distributed everywhere in Tokyo and they sell all kinds of food especially for its ready-to-eat banto....That tastes amazing and sometimes even better than the restaurant food.....You can have a good meal in a shop around your home any time within a day with a relatively low expenditure. Even in the midnight, if you want to find some food to eat, just go out and enjoy the snacks and bento with an lovely and warming packing......
@Quentin Lecuva That is part of the Japanese culture, they are relatively introversed and indirect compared to the western culture, which is seen as enthusiastic and straightforard.....But if you are the person who is quiet, polite and chases for the reassuring and safe living environment, Tokyo must be the first choice.

I've been to a lot countries and cities and Tokyo is by far my favorite city in the world for excelling and getting so many things right
You're very lucky to have traveled so extensively! What are the next three favorite places you've been and why?
Culture and tech ... yea it’s my greatest city
I really enjoyed all of Switzerland because of all the mountains and nature stuff. Second would probably be NY just from the skyline and the architecture. Third would probably be Dubai. There's this cultural mixing there which is interesting and how it developed into a world city fascinates me so yeah also glad you're back from the grave I really like your content

Hello
Now you know what a REAL city looks like. NYC sucks to be honest (I used to live in NJ and go to the city all the time). Tokyo is far above and beyond
😍😍😍😘
😘😍😍
Why is Tokyo so fu**ing awesome😭, I'm legit crying at how amazing these people are, be it in terms of cleanliness, social order, helpfulness, level-headedness in moments of tragedy, innovation, name anything you want, these people are almost always at the top.
Which is why when my bestfriend and I came here many years ago… we decided to stay. We live here for more than a decade now. We love it!
in what creepy people are awesome in their ways
years ago i met a pathetically annoying japanese girl in some comments sections here. i have the right to call japanese bad people because of their culture about gentle lies . if she's not good at speaking english , i didn't get why she wanted to talk to me. don't tell me she would got "balls". she asked me to talk in her awfully hard language if i would want to get along with japanese but they wouldn't forgive me if i speak it badly they would also ran away! that girl should know her compatriots have too much of social flaws! because of people like her i have worsen opinions about japanese! they play their fake kindness , they pretends to be good people to waste our time! japan is not worth it because of the mannerism of japanese and their hypocrisy , their lies!
there is some of the stupidest comments ever wrote in YT here. among them , the one of a japanese nationalistic girl called jumpmomongaable.
she said so many of nonsensical things. like if she thought it would be easy to undertand for foreigners. i don't get why many would be agree with people like her. it's just stupidly unfair.
there: " people like you hate me for just say “hi” and called me evils bc I’m japanese" well certainly because they know about Tatemae culture , the fact to over-"lie" , using a fake kindness without saying their thoughs and abusing of their tatemae. also because there were foreign people who got a bad time in japan , facing locals who make zero efforts to understand them and refusing to be genuine with them. it's normal for some to see the things in a manicheism.
"I never encountered any Japanese who fear foreigner in japan." it's easy to say when they lived in a japanese-only district.
"I know most of them are afraid/ shamed of their poor English skill and run away if you speak with them in English. " perhaps they should learn more english then , they should know their country is very prized for tourism. and what if we speak poorly japanese? they would also ran away without recognizing our efforts to communicate? it's just pathetic.
"I don’t know if I’m a nice person but I’m very typical Japanese." so this mean she wasn't not a good person. who was taught to overly lie.
"I love peace/ peaceful loving people." of course because their culture teach them to be overly peaceful. even if it doesn't mean they're good persons . then she said "Have a good day" which looks stupidly forced , like if they showed the need to show they're a fake person who use their politeness like a robot.
i don't really understand why there is comments like that which exist. if we had bad experiences with japanese , we have the right to criticize them.
I went two years ago. Tokyo works only because it is in Japan. It's that simple. Put a city that size anywhere else and it would have all the problems the worlds cities always have.
Agree. Well, maybe if it was Canada or Australia it wouldn't have many problems either but Japan is probably the best place anyway
@@Ricky911_ a city of that population in Australia would take 6 hours to drive across. Without traffic. And congestion there would most definitely be, with 0.73 vehicle per head of the population. Not even accounting for a lot of other factors that would make it unlivable and unlovable, just car culture would kill a city like that.
What does that mean? That ppl from other countries are incapable? I just think we have really poor leadership - only self serving politicians fill our "democracy" illusion.
@@aznosu Poor leadership, yes. But let's not pretend that Japan and Africa are exactly the same.
@@HereForAStorm Dude tokyo could not work anywhere else on earth
I remember not long ago having to explain to my grandparents that Japan is a first world country. They learned about Japan in school and still saw it as it was in the devastated post-war era. It's astonishing how far the country has come since then.
Haha, I can see why they thought that. But exactly, it is astonishing what they've achieved despite the setbacks.
Tokyo is always changing, there is construction going on all the time.
Show them this video. They will surely change their mind.
It’s more astonishing how quickly it’s degenerating now that they have no reason to work hard or improve.
Pigumon Can you elaborate more on this? I'm genuinely interested. Why do they not have a reason to work hard or improve?
The Japanese are simply on a whole other level than the rest of the world.

China is also decades ahead of everyone

When I was younger I worked at a themed restaurant in The Netherlands that hosted groups of tourists from different countries. When the Japanese groups came in, oh my god, I fell so in love with them because of how polite they were. We also barely had to clean up after they left because they were so orderly and clean and they always left big tips. Lovely people!
In Japan you never tip, the Japanese are very educated.
True. I live in Japan and have adopted their attitude towards politeness and cleanliness. Whenever we travel, our hosts always tell us how surprised they are how clean we leave the rooms as if we we weren’t there. I thought it was just common sense, I guess it’s a Japanese culture.
they just do their jobs
But tipping isnt a thing in japan tho
I love Japanese people. I’d go crazy over them every time I see one here in the U.S. very disciplined and intelligent people. 🇯🇵❤️✌️😄😄

Seem like you wrote so many very negative/hateful comments toward Japanese under this video comment section. I won’t blame/ try to change your opinion, but you may be hurting some Japanese people feeling. If you are hating Japanese, it’s better that you won’t watch any Japanese related videos bc it will give you discomfort/anger and that’s not good for you.
I know it’s not your concern but Japanese people who read your very negative angry comments toward Japanese may become sad, just like me.
@@jumpmomongaable stupidest comment i ever saw here. you makes no sense here. if he hurts your feelings , it's because he should know that japanese are only interested by the features of gaijin people and always hides their feelings , they would never want to befriend them , you're polite only by duty. if we speak badly japanese you will rejects us. and he has the right to watch videos of japan to enjoy the views. we have the right to dislike the country people for their nonsensical culture and their absurd rules but still appreciating the country in itself for its views. you japanese doesn't make good hosts.

@Ken narville also There is many different population with different thinking and attitude. Singapore, Germany, France, UK, Italy, America, Arab Saudi, China. Each country have different mindset, some are one race supremacy other is all race equality. What is the most important is you cannot impose a different value immediately to other country it was a long game and each of it has advantages and disadvantage. You cannot denyng that world is divided by race because how different race has different thinking because accumulating moral, rule, history and knowledge of them.

I'm usually not a fan of big cities and densely populated areas. And I was pretty anxious when I went to Japan for the first time but ... Tokyo, with all its size and people, is surprisingly easy to fall in love with . Even when you have an unbelievable amount of people around you, it still never really felt crowded to me. At least not in a bad way that makes me uncomfortable. Mainly because everything works so unbelievably well. Can't wait to go back soon!
Wow I literally just commented the same thing lol. I agree with you 100%. All those people, but you never feel stuck because everything and everyone moves so efficiently
Yeah, I feel exactly the same, from my first trip to the one I just got back from. It's a wonder of the world.
I'm really tired of these people who defend the Japanese without recognizing the objectively numerous cultural flaws they have. many of them wasted my time without explaining their culture and only made my opinion of them much worse. how can we understand people who are reserved, hypocritical, and deceptively nice, who constantly impose their formal side on us and insult us behind our backs without showing us their natural side? learning a language takes long and it won't get better if they refuse to explain our faults.
and don't bother me with stupid arguments like "people are like that everywhere" or "it's your fault."

Korea is poorer country than Japan. In technology, economics, science, Nobel Prize, culture, GPD, Korea was defeated by Japan in all aspects.
In fact, Korea ranks second in suicide rate and first in low birth rate.
Samsung is the only global company in Korea. Japan has eight global companies.
Japan Is special In general but the major cities are a marvel. Every time I visit I feel depressed when I return to London, Large areas of which are just not safe and Its getting worse.
I respect the Japanese so much for preserving their culture and traditions whilst still moving forward with modernity In areas where It benefits.
True. It makes me sad to think about how London could've turned out with the preservation of British culture and if the natives weren't a minority.
Tokyo was one of the cities that actually met my expectations and over it. The food is insanely delicious along with convenient transportation and clean places.👏
I appreciate Japan for what it is naturally, but I'm tired of these naive people who talk about its inhabitants as if they are absolute angels. I once met an arrogant Japanese girl who asked me to stop watching these videos, but I go where I want. she told me that reading my negative comments saddened her but I was telling the truth about her culture. what if we speak their language badly? she refused to admit that her compatriots have many cultural faults! these people have a problem with ego and hypocrisy.
I love Tokyo. I take it for granted sometimes, the way you can when something works so well and is always there for you.
The hardest thing when leaving Japan is the big step down in customer service!
Love you brothers 💜💜

Thank you 🇯🇵❤
I'm afraid that when I visit Tokyo, I may never come back to the US. LMAO! (Great video. Full of great insight and information)
DJ AUDIO1 I just came back from Tokyo and truly, I am obsessed. I didn’t want to come back here in the US. But here I am. Sigh. Just hoping to come back soon.
Ken narville I only spent a week there so I don’t know where you’re coming from. I only felt safe and welcomed.
ah yes happy to be among two-faced execrable locals who don't waste time with people barely speaking their language, with rigid nonsensical rules, expensive services and common appartments with tiny rooms
Now this is some top quality content, thanks TDC!
Japan have everything.
Tokyo is definitely the best, cleanest and most beautiful place, right?! I am trying to learn Japanese right now so I can move to Japan when I’m older. :) I am in the 8th grade so I have many years ahead of me and enough time to learn Japanese.
Good luck :)! You can do it
Hello dear how are you doing
おうえんしてる！
頑張ってください！
Did u learn Japanese?
this was an amazingly done video, it also made me love Japan so much more. The things in which america can learn from japan is just crazy.
I'm French living in Paris but I've lived in Tokyo for almost 2 years and i really liked the lifestyle there. Japan is not perfect like any other country in the world but in my opinion it's a very peaceful place to be and very enjoyable! Great video 👍
Do you prefer Paris or Tokyo? We've been to both as well :-)
@@MillennialTravelConfessions Muaahahaha paris is now africa.
How about China

Multiculturalism kills the soul of a city, Japan is still homogeneous. “In Rome, do as the Romans do.” And the harmony will continue.
After earthquake and nuclear bombing, the nation has survived and risen again and again. And it maintains its elegance. I thought many people in Japan are depressed. But now I think it is one of the most optimistic ethical nation in the world right now.
We like Tokyo
Love from India.😍😘
Bless you India!
I love India and Indian people from Japan🥰🥰
Super...I love India. 😍
Tokyo has the best Ambassador in the world, Captain Aty😄 - a small Asian claw otter.
Tokyo makes NYC's MTA system feel like a toy train set at the whim of a 5-year old.
And with lots of rats and pee all over the floor ^^
don't forget this part.
....I hear about that... but... how...? they just start urinating while everyone is around...?
saifis Usually not. But who knows what happens at midnight in the train station with possibly some drunk people?
Drunk people in Japan happen too, the most I see is dried vomit on the platform the next day
saifis Drunk people are around the world, yes. But you forgot the differences in people’s behavior around the world. Japanese are usually (not all of them, of course) more polite, self-aware, considerate, and law-abiding than many Americans. That’s not to say ALL Americans are inconsiderate law-breaking criminals. That’s simply not true. But it is factually and statistically accurate to say the Japanese are more considerate and law-abiding than their American counterpart.
Truly the best city in the world
not true .singapore is the best.tokyo no 2.
One of the best videos on YT which I have seen. Keep up the good work.😊
Well put together 😊 Tokyo remains my defacto favourite travel destination on planet earth for many of the reasons you described and more. Thanks for sharing!
Wow you are back
We always knew he was black
We're exceedingly behind Tokyo. What's being done in that city and how it's structured makes New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta & Houston look like Medieval villages.
yet they still mentally lives in medieval times , they treat superficially outsiders and still thinks their women, are housewives
This has to be one of the most powerful and informative videos ever, Thank you.
As a resident of Tokyo, I feel just about so many problems here. However, watching this video, I feel, maybe, we should be a bit more proud of this city - well still to my amazement.
K Tpudle yep. you should be grateful.

Ken narville perhaps you're brain is so small that even insect is smarter than you
Ken narville
It’s funny because when it comes to comments dissing Japan, they’re obviously the Chinese or Korean.
@boson96 you probably live in your mom's basement and that's why hate everyone on the internet , you are a weeb
So so so happy to see you return!
Hope to see the mega city series continue further
Your documentaries really are top notch. Thank you so much for putting so much work and passion in, it's really noticeable! 💓
Greetings from Seoul! I will visit Tokyo in 2020 Olympic Season
How are y'all over there
I live in Tokyo. I love Seoul so much!
남윤성 ようこそ！welcome🍣( '-' 🍣 )
Thank you very much for your warm comments.. I sincerely wish most of the other Koreans would think the same way as yours, which I'm afraid appears to be a pipe dream.... sad sad...
Don't listen to anyone. I've been to japan many times, and have lots of japanese friends. On average japanese loves Korean cuisine, culture and music. I've been introduced to Korean food many times while I was in japan.
I have lived in Tokyo for 6 years , Truly beautiful with amazing culture and ppl ...it’s one of the BEST cities in the world ❤️
sara ev do you speak Japanese?

Glad to have you back. Kept checking in weekly. Kept checking if I'd checked the notification bar correctly. This clears up a lot. Look forward to the upcoming content!

"MOM, WE'RE MOVING TO JAPAN!"
I always admiered Japan and the Japanes. Hope to visit one day. Huge respect from Denmark to Japan. 🇯🇵🇩🇰
We welcome you to Japan 😀😸🇯🇵
he shouldn't, they don't forgive badly spoken japanese
@@x6621 you wouldn't wants the foreigners who would speak poorly your language
years ago i met an pathetically annoying japanese girl in some comments sections here. i have the right to call japanese bad people because of their culture about gentle lies . if she's bad at speaking in english , i didn't understood why she wanted to talk to me. don't tell me she would got "balls". she asked me to talk in her awfully hard language if i would want to get along with japanese but they wouldn't forgive me if i speak it badly! that girl should know her compatriots have too much of social flaws! because of people like her i have worsen opinions about japanese! they play their fake kindness , they pretends to be good people to waste our time!
there is some of the stupidest comments ever wrote in YT here. among them , the one of a japanese nationalistic girl called jumpmomongaable.
she said so many of nonsensical things. like if she thought it would be easy to undertand for foreigners. i don't get why many would be agree with people like her. it's just stupidly unfair.
there: " people like you hate me for just say “hi” and called me evils bc I’m japanese" well certainly because they know about Tatemae culture , the fact to over-"lie" , using a fake kindness without saying their thoughs and abusing of their tatemae. also because there were foreign people who got a bad time in japan , facing locals who make zero efforts to understand them and refusing to be genuine with them. it's normal for some to see the things in a manicheism.
"I never encountered any Japanese who fear foreigner in japan." it's easy to say when they lived in a japanese-only district.
"I know most of them are afraid/ shamed of their poor English skill and run away if you speak with them in English. " perhaps they should learn more english then , they should know their country is very prized for tourism. and what if we speak poorly japanese? they would also ran away without recognizing our efforts to communicate? it's just pathetic.
"I don’t know if I’m a nice person but I’m very typical Japanese." so this mean she wasn't not a good person. who was taught to overly lie.
"I love peace/ peaceful loving people." of course because their culture teach them to be overly peaceful. even if it doesn't mean they're good persons . then she said "Have a good day" which looks stupidly forced , like if they showed the need to show they're a fake person who use their politeness like a robot.
i don't really understand why there is comments like that which exist. if we had bad experiences with japanese , we have the right to criticize them.
Tokyo is awesome.
Fascinating...thanks..subscription earned. Eager to learn more from your channel.
Guys honestly, Japanese people are the most polite people I have ever seen
Nope, they only "seem" to be.
@@user-wk4io4so8h biased Korean... at least give some sort of proof why they "seem" to be. I'll do it for you.
Japan's education system tells kids to be really polite to elders and be kind and whatnot, but they tend to forget teach kids to also be nice to different races other than just Japanese citizens. This is why native Japanese people avoid black/white yellow haired people in convinence stores. Logan Paul and other gangsters also make outsiders feel threatening, so yeah. Of course, if a typical Japanese guy is required to talk/meet a westerner, they will also be very polite (more polite then they already are) to not anger the westerner (they're not sure how westerners would react. And it's reasonable. If they meet a Karen and aren't polite, I can only imagine...)
They're too polite
Tokyo is absolutely perfect megacity, if somebody has doubts, he needs to visit Tokyo.....
Ken narville I like their food and video games and all.....!!!!
Ken narville and their vending machines and bath houses...!!!! They also have Disney Land and universal studios.... Music studios and cat cafe and all.... I don’t like Japanese smoking in establishments it’s unhealthy and gross....!!!
@Ken narville ... 100% wrong, you obviously hate for some other reason
@Ken narville Do you get sick or something?? You look totally insane and scary...
@Gammy Leddack do you live in Tokyo?
I moved to Tokyo in November 2016, and I had high expectations but they have been mostly surpassed! Not everything is nice, there are some messed up aspects of japanese society but I don't want to leave. I 💚 Japan
MioRaem what’s wrong w Japan??
Groping in trains is common in Japan. That’s one of the bad parts
Some weird things I’ve noticed are that people are either overly polite or very rude in Japan. The overly polite ones outnumber the rude ones of course but it’s strange to see that contrast. And also 9 times out of 10 the rude ones are drunk.
Isn't Tokyo almost unaffordable expensive?
@DuArri I have a place in SF and Tokyo. SF is worse.
Tokyo is a megacity with a population larger than California, New York, Texas or Florida
39 million people in its metropolitan area
But American cities are much better
@@user-rg1ek8em4t Not better than Canadian cities
@Allen D. Well at least we have a very low crime rate
Basil Minhas you probably forgot california itself has 40 million inhabitants, so your argument regarding California is wrong.
How about China, such as Beijing and Shanghai
It all started while watching anime... From there ... To Japan culture ..thier people.... Thier life style .. thier thinking... I felt like that's heaven for me😍😍 ... I Wish to visit my dream city Tokyo very soon...loads of love from India 🤗
used to have a wish to go in japan. not anymore. slavery companies, demanding arrogant cold people who only want to hear fluent japanese and who can manipulate you, common tiny rooms, overcrowded places, tyrannic laws, earthquakes, expensiver services... coming in japan become complicated. an hell on earth
Just gorgeous. I am heading there soon and this literally made me so excited
Tokyo and overall Japan are all beautiful, the people are so friendly and kind. And the city literally looks like something from an anime. I'd love to live here or at least experience the city
Tokyo’s accomplishments are very inspiring.
Tokyo is an amazing city, you will hardly see any bins on the road yet this is one of the cleanest locations I've been to in the world. Also, the people there are so lovely and so willing to help even if your Japanese is non existent. Other cities need to seriously take a page out of Tokyo's book if they want to better their society.
Indeed the most advanced city on planet Earth!
I got stationed in Japan for almost two years. being in the countryside I can say the best sushi I've ever had was from a hole in the wall or hidden restaurant where you get fresh fish and the chef cutting it right in front of you. Nothing fancy just fresh sushi.
Welcome back. Glad your voice is better! And well worth the wait :) Great video.
