My legs hurt at the end of the day from walking all over Shinjuku 😅 but love that it has a little bit of everything. Hope everyone enjoys their time there!

[@tokyocheapo]

Thank you for watching!

[@itswalking]

I'm appreciated of Tokyo! Love to walk at this gorgeous city 😍😍

[@areasevenpro]

Kabukicho is my home away from home. Lots of great places to eat such as Menya Kokoro, Go! Go! Curry, and Pepper Lunch.

[@Babyonsen]

カレーは御茶ノ水に、有名店があります🍛

[@Kusaland_CEO]

Im glad Tokyo Cheapo makes quick and practical videos like these. Very helpful.

[@tokyocheapo]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@imogencranmer7]

Omg we've stayed in shinjuku this week and feel like we've missed alot of these things would recommend staying in the godzilla hotel though it's been an enjoyable experience 😀

[@LaceyFilm]

Afuri is great. Although keep in mind not every branch does the vegan broth.

[@Joinen]

Yuta pog 😎

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely number 1 would be Kabukicho after dark. Absolutely Outstanding

[@riffgroove]

Lol... Yeah, getting harassed by Nigerian touts everywhere you go is just a blast.

[@senorpoodles1755]

Bro 😂

[@rych7852]

And there was me thinking it was just me getting lost in the station! 😂😂

[@riffgroove]

As soon as you enter Shinjuku station, you're lost.
It just happens.

[@trishh1734]

Wondering the best place to go for the preloved luxury shopping in Shinjuku? Heading to Japan in September!

[@AlexRamos-ks5lx]

If you want luxury shopping go to Ginza. High quality stuff sold there. In Shinjuku we shopped at Don Quixote, I recommend it highly.

[@sharonpinilla3539]

Great channel I stumbled upon….will be staying in Shinjuku so this was so relevant…where exactly is the food hall you mentioned in Kabuchiko?

[@douaz6905]

Thank you for the Halal recommendation, really appreciate it!

[@tigerlily4218]

Any updated video on Yokohama??

[@tokyocheapo]

We haven't made one yet but it's on the list to do!

[@Gnarloo]

lol i ran into these 2 when they were filming the godzilla bit

[@tokyocheapo]

Thank you for coming over and saying hi! 😊

[@richardloo7759]

I missed the fast food chain chikara meshi😢

[@stefanlinne9403]

Thank you for your very informative videos. They help me a lot with my travel planning for 2025.
Many shops and sights in Tokyo open at 10 am and close at 7 pm. Do you have any ideas or recommendations on what to do in Tokyo from 8am to 10am and from 7pm to 10pm in summer with children (9,13)?

[@joanyealsly8314]

I’m going to Tokyo in June 2025!

[@HYUZAK]

Sukuna vs gojo 💀

[@Babyonsen]

日本は最高です❤❤❤

[@solomani5959]

What is paypay? Thank you 😊

[@tokyocheapo]

It is a barcode/QR code payment method that you can use through the PayPay app. It's not really applicable for tourists as a residence card is needed to sign up but we mentioned it just in case anyone planning to live in Japan was watching.

[@ignacio_desu]

I can’t believe you overlooked 3chōme. You only indicate Kabukichō and 2chōme on the map…

[@RandomPerson-ui3xv]

bro's name is yuta and is in shinjuku. have you copied sukuna's cleave yet? 💀

[@Diaryofaninja]

Ur weird asl
