Shinjuku Arcades, Kawaii Amuse Plushies & Arriving in Tokyo - Japan Vlog

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- Warning: half this video is Japanese arcades! As soon as we got to Tokyo we hit the arcades in Shinjuku to check out the UFO catchers.
Travelling from Kyoto to Tokyo on the shinkansen (bullet train) and having an ekiben bento box for the first time. Room tour of our Tokyo hotel in Kabukicho, and meeting up with our friends in Shinjuku for okonomiyaki. After that we hit the arcades (game centres) to see which anime figures were in the UFO catchers. I found an amazing Love Live display! We also found an arcade full of cute Amuse plush - and so many kawaii hamsters!

Hallo.
Shinjuku is one of most exciting district of Tokyo.
There are much interesting things and places.
But, sometimes, somewhere, not clean and safety.
If you have some next opportunity of to go to Shinjuku, please take care for safety.
Tomorrow is Thursday.
I can't wait with your video!
I'm looking forward so much !
Please enjoy !
Japan feels like quite a safe country to me, and I heard the crime levels are low. But yes, it's important to use your common sense!
japan has the best arcades hands down
Certainly does! Here in the UK there's nothing like them - only small arcades at bowling alleys, holiday parks etc with a few videogames. All the UFO catchers and capsule machines are full of cheap toys for kids.
well i think they have the most but if you really wanna play it and actually "get" toys instead of wasting money i recommend getting to South Korea i've never been to Japan but i'm hoing soon but my friend who visited both S.K and Japan said so but i'll def try in Japan for the anime figures
Isabelle Kim In Akihabara there are shops where you can buy the prize figures. I have no skills at UFO catchers so that's what I do! They're usually about 1200 - 1500 Yen.
You wouldn't believe how much Japan has changed over the years. Akihabara used to be almost all underground down in the subway tunnels. Also, the streets all around the Ginza were vacant until 8AM as ppl waited in the subways for the stores above ground to open...it went from 0 to 14 million people in the blink of an eye! Another thing not talked about is the fact that almost all the stores in Tokyo use every inch of space so there's parks, restaurants etc., on top of almost all the buildings.
How interesting! When I first went I didn't realise how much of the city's above and below ground level, and how you have to look up for signs and go upstairs to find places - makes you realise how densely populated it is.
*Love live in the thumbnail*
Me:CLICKS SO FAST*
😂😂 I got some really good Love Live figures in Japan too!

Such a lovely video ahh I want to go to the arcade looks so much fun thank you for the cute video 🌸🌸🌸
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it! There are so many arcades like this in the main areas of Tokyo, they're a fun place to hang out :-)
your videos are making me so excited to go to Japan next year !!
You'll have an amazing time!! Have fun and enjoy your Japlanning! :-)
Love your videos! I went to Tokyo last year with my friend and have just booked to later this year on my own (back to Tokyo and hope to see Kamakura, too!) super nervous for my first solo travel, but excited! You've given me so many ideas of what to do, thank you ^^
Thanks! No matter how many times I visit Japan, it's never enough! There's so many things to do, and each time I go back there's new things to try. Kamakura's a great day trip, I absolutely loved the bamboo garden
Oh my god! Third series of Cafe de Hamu!!! Well that's souvenirs sorted .D
Kakibot They're definitely onto a winner with this one! 👌
Quite a cute vistas from the hotel’s window!
Tokyo at night looks magical!
Toki doki des yuoo nee!..
Oh gosh, I've just found your channel and I love love love it 💕 I'm flying back to Tokyo in a few weeks time and you've give me lots of ideas of cool things to do, so thank you!
If you're still in Japan, I'd love to go for okonomiyaki with you 😂
Aww thank you so much! That's so exciting, you're going to have such an amazing time! I'm back in the UK now but definitely get some okonomiyaki, it's the best! :-)
How do you decide on a hotel?
Price?
Location?
Reviews?
How much do you rely on reviews for your travels?
I usually go on a hotel booking site, set the price range and area, then pick somewhere close to a station for convenience. I look at the reviews but remember there will always be some people who are never happy and complain about anything!! :-) Honestly I've never stayed anywhere in Japan that I haven't been satisfied with, or that hasn't been perfectly clean. There's more about booking hotels in this video - hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/NVOD1SoayEQ/w-d-xo.html
Seeing this makes me want to go back so bad! I loved the UFO machines, I won so many cat plushies!
Ahh you have UFO catcher skills! I can't win anything, that's why I stick to gachapon (*≧ω≦*)
The arcade is literally calling for me to come and fly over there! Lol
Great video by the way! Whilst in Japan, was it easy to find your way around and talk to people in English e.g asking directions or food ordering?
Chloé Kirkland Thanks! Finding your way around & getting the train is easy because most signs are in English too. I highly recommend getting an offline maps app because not all streets have road names! Some people speak a bit of English but not that many, so asking for directions could be tricky! Most restaurants in the main areas have English menus, so you can make yourself understood when ordering and buying things. It's nice to learn a few Japanese words: arigatou, sumimasen, etc :-)
Hi! How big was the room that you stayed in?
Most Tokyo hotel rooms are really small - mostly with only just enough room to put your suitcases out. (room tour's in the video!) :-) Unless you have a lot of money for a more expensive room! But it's ok as you're out and about most of the time.
Love Live brought me here, haha~
Pana xD
Just found your channel doing last min Shinjuku research for our trip in two days. We will be staying at the Grandbel Hotel as well. Any recommendations as which station to take to get around the best? Was it a far walk from Shinjuku Station? Loving all your videos so far especially the 'How expensive' ones. Cheers!
Ah how exciting! Good choice with the Granbel - the rooms are small (like most hotels in Tokyo) but they are nice! It's very close to Higashi Shinjuku Station (we ended up doing the "Tochomae change" all the time - to get between Higashi Shinjuku and Shinjuku on the pink line). You can also walk to Shinjuku Sanchome, and the main Shinjuku Station is about 10-15 mins walk (not recommended when you have your suitcases with you). Everything in the main area of Shinjuku is in easy reach, it's a great location. If you fancy a longer walk it is possible to walk to Harajuku too. Have an amazing time!!! :-)
Thank you, I can't wait for this :D That hamster with the doughnut is coming back with me.
I miss Shinjuku...... We stayed at Hotel Sunroute Plaza - really nice hotel:-)
Ahh I've stayed there too! Perfect location right by Shinjuku Station, I loved it! :-)
you remind me of stacey dooley . love your hair
Thanks! Haha, I love her documentaries! :-)
Hotel Gracery is nice too (rooms look identical to yours). And you get to see Godzilla roar every night!!
Ah yes, I saw that one from the outside! (Of course I had to visit Godzilla!!) Good locations, and it looked like a huge hotel!
what is the name of the hotel?
It's the Shinjuku Granbell Hotel :-)
i love the shiba inu plushie! so cute! i'd probably spend all my money in the arcade and still get nothing :0 just curious, but what hotel did you stay in? it looks good!
That's why I only get gachapon, I know I have no chance with UFO catchers! It's the Shinjuku Granbell Hotel, no complaints!
i hope you manage to get your dream plushie soon! ^^ and thank you for replying! i really enjoy your videos!
Thanks! It's great to know you enjoy them :-) And there are some UFO catcher wins coming up later (but not by me!!)
Is that APA hotel? + is that a Sega centre in Shinjuku?
Isabelle Kim It's the Shinjuku Granbel Hotel in Kabukicho :-) There are lots of arcades & game centres in the major areas like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro & of course Akihabara, they're all pretty similar to this one!
Cakes with Faces Is it easy to find taxis, want to avoid trains for my trip
Cakes with Faces Also your room number, for view
I've never taken a taxi in Japan myself, but the easiest way would probably be to use Uber. The Tokyo metro looks confusing but it takes you everywhere you need to go. It's clean and safe, and all the signs are in english as well as Japanese. :-)
Good diary. Vlog. Diary. Documentary?
Vlog-ument-diary?
I have one will you be at hyper Japan I'd love to meet you :)
Yes I'll be there! Come & say hello! :-D
I hope the arcades stay open late so I can spend the night trying to capture those super cute plushies haha!
hmmm,... I'm thinking you will enjoy Tokyo DisneySea (^_^) ... not my style (though strangely I really like the small vegetable garden in Cape Cod),...
Yes! It's so different from the other Disney Parks around the world. What I like best is the theming.
Yay!
O you live in japan
I live in the UK but I like to visit Japan whenever I can! :-)
I love hamsters too, hehe ^_^
They're the cutest! My hamu obsession's spiralled out of control recently...! :-)
Cakes with Faces hehe.
PEACH KUN SQUiRRREl
Ah yes! Just searched for it & they have them at Tofu Cute now. So cute!
I saw a peguin
got a bit dizzy near the end of the room tour lol
Oops, sorry, haha! (*≧ω≦*)
It's ok lol
0:00 Messatsu xD
I think the toilet are the scariest things I’ve ever seen.
I fear I’ll set off WW3 just by trying to flush
Hehe I'm always too scared to try them out too! Maybe we're missing out...?
Cakes with Faces I don’t know. But I’ll find out.
Once they open there Borders I’ll fly out. I’m hoping I can in August 10th of 2021
@@litawolf1684 Right now that seems far enough away to be safe! 🤞🤞🤞
Can I come in your suitcase next time? >w
If you turn into your chibi form you can just hop in! (o˘◡˘o)
Okay! ^w^
Good grief what a lovely accent!
Dat Pana ^^
