  • Ever dreamed of getting lost in the vibrant energy of Tokyo? Take a walk with me on my very first day in Japan! This more or less unedited adventure captures the rollercoaster of emotions that come with solo travel. We'll wander through some of Tokyo's most popular areas, soaking up the sights and sounds along the way. There are moments of pure elation, but also the inevitable frustrations and challenges to overcome that make travel such a wild ride.

    This episodes starts with me landing in Tokyo's Narita Airport, my first time ever in Japan! I then take the Skyliner bullet train over to Ueno station where my hostel is closely located to. After checking out my capsule hotel I head out for my first bowl of Ramen.
    Day two began with me heading to breakfast at the local 7-Eleven convenience store. Following that, I took a stroll towards Akihabara Electric Town which I thought was incredible! The Namco Arcade was a highlight for me. During my time in Akihabara I noticed the annual Tokyo city marathon was taking place which was a sight to see.
    It was then time to take the Tokyo metro to Tokyo central station in where I tried for at least 45 minutes to find the Imperial Palace. It took this long due to many subway exits being strictly controlled by police and not allowing the public through! Eventually I found it, walked around the beautiful Imperial Gardens before hitting a local cafe for a spot of lunch, pork katsu curry.
    After lunch, I grabbed a coffee at Starbucks but not before I ran into a Tokyo pharmacy to pickup some cream for my hands. All ago towards the vibrant district of Shinjuku. I was elated walking around the streets of Shinjuku, truly a trendy cyberpunk vibe. I almost got tricked for the second time during the video at the currency exchange there but instead managed to find one that was quite a reasonable exchange rate! Later, I grabbed a quick bowl of soba noodles before getting back to my capsule hotel for a good night's rest.

      Japan is famous for its righteous "samurai," "bushido," "ninja," and "shogun" who defeat evil, but there are also "hissatsu shigotonin" who assassinate unforgivable evil doers.

    I traveled to Japan twice last year solo...Only ever been to Greece (twice) which was organised and sorted by late partner...I spent 3 weeks in Japan in Jan 23 and 2 weeks in late Nov early Dec...I stayed in Tokyo and then traveled as far south as Kagoshima..and stopped of at Kumamoto, Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto on my way back to Tokyo...I pretty much walked everywhere unless using the Shinkansen between stays...I dont speak a word of Japanese and had never booked a trip in my life. (56 in a few weeks)...I did use the trains abit more on the second trip...As I stayed in the Yokohama and Tokyo area. I loved Japan...And wish I could return...But I truly wish I could of had my late partner with me...She would have loved it also.

    The world can be roughly divided into two parts. It is Japan and other countries. I stayed in Japan for a few weeks, but every day was so beautiful and wonderful and fulfilling that I had the day to return home in no time. After a few days, I had very mixed feelings. Why didn't my country become like Japan?

    Tip is not required in Japan.If a clerk receives a tip, the cashier's calculations after closing will be disrupted. Some people are reluctant to accept excessive amounts of money from customers. So there's no need to tip. It's nice for store staff to hear a heartfelt thank you from a customer.

    The reason for the no picture/filming signs is due to Japan's extremely strict privacy laws. You're actually supposed to blur out faces unless you get each persons permission to show any representation of them on any media platform, including youtube. If they can be recognized in any way shape or form on any media without their consent, it is a violation of privacy laws, which is why a lot of shows in Japan, especially the NEWS, blur out most of what they're filming. For restaurants/stores, you're supposed to get permission to film inside.
    For receipts at stores, see the little box of receipts (e.g. at 7-11) below where the receipt pops out, put yours in there if you don't want it. You leaving it dangling in the 7-11 cash register is rude for the next person who has to deal with the receipt you left to get theirs.
    Money trays at the register, you put your money in the tray. Don't hand the money to their hand. If you see a tray, and there will always be a tray, use the tray.
    Tipping..., as a US expat, I love the fact there is no tipping culture here, especially now with how ridiculous it's gotten. Leave that garbage culture out of Japan. And yes, it is somewhat insulting to them since they're just doing their job. The idea might be different today, but tipping has a dark legacy.

    Hello, I just randomly ran across your channel because it popped up in recommendations and your thumbnail caught my eyes so I thought why not. I'm a Japanese guy used to live in Japan but now living in Vancouver, Canada for 30 years and I miss Japan a lot these days so I've been following many channels from Japan (both by Japanese and foreigners) and I just hit the sub button for yours as well but just noticed you are still brand new on the channel, am I right? Considering that, I think your video is quite good and impressive. You gave me an impression of having already hundreds of thousand subs but literally you are spanking new! LOL! Good on you. What I liked and enjoyed about this video was your genuine excitement and honest comments on what you felt and thought as you were walking through the streets in a foreign country. It is my home country so many things in the video is "normal" and is nothing out of ordinary stuff but it still also gave me the similar sense of excitement like you as I've been living outside Japan now for so long. It's nice to see the current Japan/Tokyo in details what's going on. What is also very interesting and a lot of times I thought it was funny, it made me chuckle with your honest and pure reactions/excitement and comments. It was nice to see your point of views with different details about certain things with Japanese people or some stuff (like signage or buildings...etc)because you are coming from the western world and I do understand the both sides now. There were so many times how much I wanted to be there inside of the camera to help you at certain points when you were struggling how to buy ramen or tickets for the ride to trains...etc. But you did quite well in the end and I'm glad many Japanese people tried to help you even though their English wasn't very good. It was a super enjoyable video watching the entire time and I could have watched even more. It took me back to the time when I was living in Tokyo (specifically in year 2005 when I was working in Tokyo for a year, going there from Vancouver, Canada but I ended up moving back to Canada afterwards as I couldn't take the stress working intensely in Japan all alone in a typical Japanese company....as you can imagine as a Japanese person! LOL!) It was also very nice to see you trying to respect the culture and people as much as you could. Oh and that reminded to tell you why perhaps many restaurants and businesses don't seem to appreciate cameras inside. This is my guess but I still believe there is some good reason to this, and what it is that recently there have been some terrible incidents by some foreign TH-camrs came to Japan and you probably heard about "Johnny Somali" guy from the US, and particularly he caused a lot of damage and upheaval to the TH-cam business or to particularly to other foreign TH-camrs in Japan because of his unbelievably terrible behaviours during his stay in Japan which left a very bad taste and impression on foreigners or foreign TH-camrs with many Japanese people so unfortunately. (If this is the first time to hear about the guy, you can check many videos and articles talking about him when you Google his name.) So I think it has to do with that guy and some other similar crazy stupid TH-camrs caused the harm forever. So I do thank you for showing a lot of respect and just being descent nice pleasant foreign tourist during your visit in Japan. I wish you all the best and safe trip and I'm looking forward to watching your future videos. Please go back to Japan again to see more about my home country. Cheers!

    When you buy a take out drink or food, you are not supposed to drink or eat inside the place. Its because the pricings for dine-in and taken-out is different, take out price is cheaper than dining in and so if eat in with take out price is basically cheating the system. The law was implemented a few years ago so I guess most people who come from outside Japan may not know it.
    Next time, please keep it in your mind.

    I'm Japanese and I understand you might be confused if you come to Japan from a country with a tipping culture.
    most restaurant employees in Japan are forbidden by their work rules to receive additional money from customers (whether it is as a tip or not), so the two staff members in your video were just confused cause they couldn't explain it in English very well.
    they weren't offended by your tipping, you know.
    FYI, the male staff member at 1:11:00 is saying "we can't receive a tip. instead, so please donate to the shrine if you like.".
    payment methods in Japan are a bit complicated, but for travelers who want to pay for public transport or small purchases with a smartphone, I strongly recommend setting up a SUICA App.
    even so, there are still some stores that only accept cash, and it's really troublesome.
    I'm a little surprised that you went to Nagayama, cause the ramen restaurant you went to is the kind of place that Japanese core ramen lovers prefer rather than travelers.
    I like the oily soup of that ramen too, and it makes my stomach upset every time lol.
    have a nice trip!

    店員さんが「我々にチップを渡すなら、お賽銭に使ってください」と言ってましたね。彼らは嬉しかったと思います。ですが私達はチップを貰うことに慣れていませんし、彼はみんなが平等に働いている中自分だけが貰うわけにいかないと考えたのかもしれません。だから彼は、自分1人にチップを渡されるよりも、神社や公共の場にあなたのお金が使われることを願ったんだと思います。

    When in Rome, do as Romans do.
    We have to adapt to the culture including language where we visit.
    Therefore, you should've used Japanese when talking to people. Even if your Japanese is not fluent, no one will care about.
    Please do not take it for granted that people speak in English.

    What does respect for your travel destination mean to you?
    I think it's best to learn the rules of that country in advance. Language can come later.
    Signs prohibiting photography are carefully posted in many shops.
    There is always a sign prohibiting bringing coffee into the shrine.
    If your field of view is so narrow that you miss everything, you should stop taking pictures.
    “The attitude of learning the rules of a country and the simple language of that country” If you can understand this, please come to Japan again 🇯🇵

    Those little restaurants have been around for decades. Just recent years, they became tourist attractions. I think the owners still want to make sure locals who have been coming in the restaurants and bars feel comfortable without worrying about their privacy to be exposed. That may be a big reason why lots of places ask you not to film! Sorry if you felt rejected!!

    Watching you reminds me of my first time back in September. But I wasn't alone then. I came back a second time for 10 days in Feb-March and it was just if not even more awesome to be doing this solo. What a place. Enjoy!
    PS: for the capsule, I don't know which one you went for, but I can't recommend Rembrandt Capsule in Shinjuku enough. It was cheap as well, but looked much bigger than what you got in Ueno. I stayed there for 8 nights. I'll do it again.

    Hello! Thank you for coming to Japan! I am Japanese myself.
    I am a local near a ramen shop. I would like you to share something that I have been curious about with your friends and acquaintances.
    Old-established eateries operating in residential areas with few tourists and where locals are lining up are undoubtedly delicious! However, those who line up in places far from the city prefer a peaceful meal.
    For many Japanese, they are more likely to feel discomfort from sudden interviews than to benefit from increased customers due to being filmed. Being looked upon favorably often stems from the respect shown to the other person. Also, the further away from the city, the more likely locals are to become upset if you don't talk to them beforehand.
    To avoid this, I recommend communicating with the staff and nearby customers properly before filming. Even if you don't speak the same language, taking the time to communicate in segmented phrases until you are understood will lead to better treatment. This applies to most Japanese people.
    Thank you for reading this far!

    Looks like you had a wonderful visit in Japan. I am originally from Japan but have been living in the US for the last 30+ years. I go to Japan at least twice a year to visit my aging parents. You picked a great location to stay in Ueno. Ueno is one of the most convenient locations to stay. in Tokyo if you land in Narita Airport. You also managed to navigate yourself during the Tokyo Marathon. You did a great job on your first day!

    Even for petite Japanese people, hotels in urban areas feel small! I can totally understand how you feel 🤣
    There is a newly built, cheap capsule hotel (5,000 yen = $32) near Narita Airport with a hot spring. It's called Sora no Yu(空の湯)
    I don't know if it's possible to make reservations from overseas, but I recommend it.
    (There are separate areas for men and women, but there is space for families and the price is reasonable)

    I was just there in Japan few days back and had already returned here to Sydney. While watching you’re vlog the moment you stepped into the Arrivals section of Narita til the last part, everything was a nostalgia. Tho I know there are some aspects there that you broke the Japanese culture & traditions. That I understand coz it’s your first time. Perhaps, just be little more cautious on your next escapades there. The Japanese people are extremely polite and love their privacy & silence so much. ❤❤❤
