I really like how you always manage to make the less touristy area really appealing and how you always are very enthousiastic about everything, without overeacting and making it sound fake. You two really have a special relationship and find beauty in everything.
The shop with the robot vending machine is a great dagashiya (old school cheap candy store) and the statue Kyde high fived is Tora-san, hero of the beloved movie series "Otoko wa Tsuraiyo" Shibamata is associated with.
The zodiac seem to be ordered right to left, from rat to pig, which makes the mystery foxy one dog. Pig, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, Goat, Horse, Snake, Dragon, Rabbit, Tiger, Ox, Rat
Shibamata is famous for the very popular Sowa Era movie Tora-san Series 『男はつらいよ=It is hard to be a man』. They made two movies a year, one for summer, one for New Year for 20 years from 1969-1989 until the lead actor died. (32:00 is the Tora-san Stature) Kameari is famous for the very popular Manga series 『こちら葛飾区亀有公園前派出所＝Here, Police station in front of Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward』published from 1976-2016. The longest comic series published. (0:22 are the Manga Charactors) Most of Japanese people know the name Katsushika for that reason. Also Katsushika Hokusai was born this area in Edo Era. Not as upper class but as working class area in history.
Holy moly it got real fast. We went from anime characters to awesome restaurant to gallows. It seems so out of place because it looks so mundane. This is why your videos are so great you never know what’s gonna happen next.
I need to go and get my fortune told by that little goblin demon in the glass cage :) I loved that little guy and i like seeing things like that, i need to find it when i have finally gotten myself over there. I enjoyed your little adventure and exploration. We got a lot within the little. Take it easy with the beer and don´t eat to much grass :)
Another great natural walk around tokyo. The deep fried food looked amazing. It makes me miss my time there to no end. That vending machine creature would have been the perfect kind of thing to just stumble upon! It's always that kind of thing that creates memories.
I loved the temple experience. I felt very comfortable with the isolation, the occasional sounds, bells and wind .. and the unique vending machine just added to the ambiance of the surroundings. This is hard to put into words but that "vending culture" in Japan, it fascinates me greatly, with so many interesting and surprising treasures all available via the machines. I can't help but ponder just how far that goes, I guess virtually anything and everything through vending. Cheers ....
I love that you guys appreciate the worker food! that's the good stuff, forget the fancy super nice looking expensive mess and go with what the construction workers eat. Katsushika looks like a really nice little ward, sort of like a smaller town inside Tokyo (I know it's on the outskirts, but yeah). That temple was amazing!
Just saw you both on Gimmeabreakman, Two and a Half Oyaji's live stream, and was excited to see you again. Somehow, I lost track of your channel (?) about 6 years ago, so now I'll binge watch from where I left off and catch up to your current posts. You both look the same, haven't aged at all. I started watching your channel when you were driving and sleeping in your car traveling in the U.S. Looking forward to watching you again and thank you for sharing your life with us. Peggy from Los Angeles, CA
I’m really digging the 4K videos so fresh and so clean. The shishi fortune telling machine made me feel like obon season with the music playing. I hope we can have one in Hawaii this year.
Loved the pace and feel of this video! Very unique look at a neighbourhood most people would miss. Looking forward to more of these local videos, there are some benefits of covid.
That temple was one of the more fascinating complexes ive seen, that whole shotengai gave a senso-ji, but low ki haha. Super cool to see, For sure have to add it to my visit list!
@11:58 my best guess and most logical conclusion would be that the circular structure is a landing pad for helicopters. Quick transportation is probably crucial for both VIPs and high ranking prisoners. Update: looked at Google map and it most definitely is a helicopter landing pad.
The prison blended in with the residential area is pretty nuts. I live not that far from a large prison Stateside, which has huge fenced-in areas like 20+ feet tall with barb wire and towers all around it, surrounded by roads you don’t drive down unless you live in a neighborhood more than walking distance away. It also doesn’t look as pretty, architecturally speaking. I wonder if the prison in Japan looks different because conditions are so different from US prisons.
Katsushika seems to have a lot of cool areas if you explore a bit. I always think of it as the home of Toro-san (aka that dude Kyde high-fived).That temple at night looked amazing; not creepy at all. I think I could watch that dancing lion machine for hours. The Menchi restaurant had a great atmosphere and looks worth checking out.
I was kind of waiting to see if you guys visit Shibamata. One of my first intro to Japan was the Tora San movies (among other usuals like Ozu, Mizoguchi, Kurosawa, Naruse films etc). The movies were crazy popular, even has a Guinness World Records association too.. Shibamata was home to Tora san, the protagonist of the series.The Taishakuten Temple was featured prominently in those too! It looks magical, want to visit it if I managed ever to visit Japan. Kyde high fiving Tora san was a lol moment. This was really fun for me. Thanks.
Love your channel! So hard with Covid, not being able to travel abroad which is of-course a lot of what you guys do. Always look forward to every upload!!!
Don't have anything to say really except that I enjoy your videos a lot and have seen almost all of them. Although 52k is a lot of subscribers I think you deserve more.
As always thank you and very interesting. I noticed the apparent swastika at the 'cat' shrine at the end of your video. I was reminded that this symbol is ancient in Indian religion which explains its presence.
I used to live in an apartment building from which you could see a detention center (which was also directly next to a high school). So it's an international concept haha.
that prison news was a shock. I drive around Arizona a lot for work, and I've seen a number of prisons, and you know right away what they are in the states
Just wanted to comment for the channel! You know I started watching you guys when the pandemic started ten years ago and power watched all your videos, always eager to see your next adventure. Thanks for taking us to all the hidden corners of Japan while in lockdown!
visited Shibamata when we vacationed in Japan last year at the beginning of Covid. You guys missed the old man with the suitcase (real life person of the carricature statue that you guys saw) and the lady that sells golden poop (she speaks multiple different languages)
Engagement comment! Thoroughly enjoyed spooky Tokyo. Spooky Story time: When I was in Tokyo I enjoyed taking very, very long walks around random off the track places so ended up in plenty of smaller neighbourhoods. I ended up on a residential street near Sugamo, I walk pretty quietly in soft soled trainers and when rounding a corner came immediately upon an older gentlemen probably a foot shorter than me, I was almost on top of the guy and said "Sumimasen" out of reflex and started the guy something awful. We had a little laugh and he gestured for me to carry on. I think I was that poor guys personal little spooky spirit that day.
@9:30 ... didn't recognize it at 1st (thought it was an apartment complex or hospital), but once you got closer ( @9:48 ) i recognized it right away. it's the same place that *Carlos Ghosn* (former *CEO* of *Nissan* & chairman/CEO of a bunch of other companies) was held & charged w/ financial misconduct a few years ago. also, @12:00 ... not a _"satellite dish"_ . it's a helipad for helicopters. most government buildings in *Asia* have them, as do many high-rises. random notes b/c y'all definitely need to go there when everything is open ... • @28:38 behind the bridge is an amazing 2 story wooden carved structure. i think y'all get there too late (they close around 4PM? 3PM?). [ 360 view of what it looks like inside ... *2ndFloor* : goo.gl/maps/o2FPbpBFgZM8kpJ57 *1st Floor* : goo.gl/maps/iPgJq1emHwqLkFAm9 ] • @28:45 that tree, w/ the support branches that stretch out in front of the temple, is a (nearly) 500 year old tree, & an official *Tokyo* landmark/monument. • @31:45 if you thought that was cool, you need to see the store it's attached too. it's an old-school 1980s candy/toy/retro-game store. • @32:00 that's *Tora-san* from the *_"Otoko wa Tsurai yo"_* film series. i think some of the sires was filmed in a few of those shops you passed. it holds the *Guinness World Record* for the longest-running movie series (starring a single actor) - there were like 50 sequels. you can find a more proper statue near *Shibamata Station* .
My guess for the “Tokyo detention house” was a Hospital... big windows doesn’t give me the idea of jail. And my guess for the round thing on top was a helipad and google maps told me I was right. Btw, the last bit of both doing a video in the slide is a cool idea for a video (a pain to edit I’ll guess), two points of view simultaneously.
Gosh that drink sounds like I'd be sleeping in a corner passed out. Im a very light weight with alcohol. Those zodiac statues were amazing!!! Love your videos🙂

That temple at twilight was magical.
That dragon/tiger fortune machine thingy was one of the coolest things I've seen on one of these videos.
Even though I knew it was there (as I’ve been to Shibamata a dozen + times), I almost always get the jump scare from that fortune machine... lol
That thing scared the crap out of me!
I really like how you always manage to make the less touristy area really appealing and how you always are very enthousiastic about everything, without overeacting and making it sound fake. You two really have a special relationship and find beauty in everything.
Thanks for the kind words! -E

I watched this again. I still can't figure out that fox one

The new camera is really opening up your videos, especially the low light shots at the shrine.
I agree, it looks great!
Ward videos are so awesome.
Can't believe you guys did both of the Katsushika videos in 1 day, that's a lot to pack in. Those fried pork katsu filled with cheese though 😋😋😋
haha, we go hard. -E
I really like these videos with parts of Tokyo that are out of the normal tourist areas.
This video has everything: soup disasters, cats and robots.
Those streets near the end of the video were magical.
Loved the cute doggy with the blinking lights on it's collar lol
Love how you two can sense the mood of a setting!😃⛩🏮

Whoa! This was new! I've been re watching older stuff and didn't notice!
I really dig these neighbourhood discovery videos! (Please let us know if you translate the fortune.)
New subscriber here, love videos about lesser known wards and your style is refreshing. I’m putting this area on my list to visit.
Glad you found us! -E
1:02 Japan got me hooked on the ginger highball. They seem to be everywhere, every restaurant and conbini has them.
I love that you guys appreciate the worker food! that's the good stuff, forget the fancy super nice looking expensive mess and go with what the construction workers eat. Katsushika looks like a really nice little ward, sort of like a smaller town inside Tokyo (I know it's on the outskirts, but yeah). That temple was amazing!

Actually never seen a sitdown menchi katsu place before...always seem to be in streetfood places. Looked great.
Loved the pace and feel of this video! Very unique look at a neighbourhood most people would miss. Looking forward to more of these local videos, there are some benefits of covid.
Looking forward to sharing some more! -E
I don't get it,why you guys aren't getting more subscribers 🤔?! Really love your videos 💚😎😊!
Probably because most viewers have a short attention span and can’t watch a good long video with raw footage.
17:12 that "Kusa dango" doesn't have any "Maccha". Usually "Kusa dango" includes "Yomogi (蓬/よもぎ）" which is mugwort.
We should have known that, we love 蓬
at 18:21 kyde walks like that lady martian in mars attacks! also that atmosphere at the temple was so stunning.
Haha that's an obscure call back. -E
Oh my God, I've never heard Kyde scream with such genuine fear before
I think the slide was my favorite part. Always have to go down a slide when one is encountered!
That temple was one of the more fascinating complexes ive seen, that whole shotengai gave a senso-ji, but low ki haha. Super cool to see, For sure have to add it to my visit list!
@11:58 my best guess and most logical conclusion would be that the circular structure is a landing pad for helicopters. Quick transportation is probably crucial for both VIPs and high ranking prisoners.

So crunchy. I just had breakfast before watching this and the first bite of that beef item and I'm hungry again! Thanks for the videos!
Why oh why can't I like it more than once? I was so charmed by the Shishimai Omikuji machine. I want to go see it someday!
Great vid! Thanks for sharing! These ward videos are my fav!!!
The Katsu looked good. The scream was a highlight ☺️🤣 Thanks Kyde
Thanks for another great adventure you guys. Btw the kusa dango are made with yomogi( mugwort) which gives it the green color.
You two make some amazing videos and definitely deserve more views! Thank you for making content!
I always enjoy your videos exploring different areas of Japan.
The prison blended in with the residential area is pretty nuts. I live not that far from a large prison Stateside, which has huge fenced-in areas like 20+ feet tall with barb wire and towers all around it, surrounded by roads you don’t drive down unless you live in a neighborhood more than walking distance away. It also doesn’t look as pretty, architecturally speaking. I wonder if the prison in Japan looks different because conditions are so different from US prisons.
Yea, Japanese prison is no picnic, but I've met people who have done time in them and they seem very very different than an American prison. -E
The cell is a lot smaller. For starters.
Great video, the highlight of my Thursday.
Katsushika seems to have a lot of cool areas if you explore a bit. I always think of it as the home of Toro-san (aka that dude Kyde high-fived).That temple at night looked amazing; not creepy at all.

“If you double the cheese w/out knowing what the single cheese was, how would you know how much double is?” - Kyde. That was some deep stuff. lol. :D
The colours at that temple were really cool :)
Love your channel! So hard with Covid, not being able to travel abroad which is of-course a lot of what you guys do. Always look forward to every upload!!!
Waiting for Japan to open up for my second visit. This time I will try to visit more places like this
Thanks for sharing the mechanical puppet for the fortune was really cool 👍 have you one across them before 😁🏴
Another great exploration video ! That robot God was something else !
Don't have anything to say really except that I enjoy your videos a lot and have seen almost all of them. Although 52k is a lot of subscribers I think you deserve more.
For the mystery building, I was way off, I guessed hospital. Was surprised about it being a prison. Very interesting area.
As always thank you and very interesting. I noticed the apparent swastika at the 'cat' shrine at the end of your video. I was reminded that this symbol is ancient in Indian religion which explains its presence.
Haha, yea, it's not a swastika, it's a manji.
I used to live in an apartment building from which you could see a detention center (which was also directly next to a high school). So it's an international concept haha.
👍 love to see your videos! Have a great weekend 😊
I would love to see more solo adventures of just Kyde or Eric.
Have you watched Eric’s hitchhiking series?
Yep, definitely check hot the Hitchhiking series with Eric!
Cory and Drew had made videos too !! The neighborhood is very nice !!! Hope to see more exploring videos from neighborhoods outside the center !!!
Always a great reward to be able to watch your videos. 💕
that prison news was a shock. I drive around Arizona a lot for work, and I've seen a number of prisons, and you know right away what they are in the states
Comments for the count bot... Thanks again so much guys, really enjoyed it.
Kyde and Eric always take such delight when exploring; they really make me want to return and visit the places they've just been.
I'm disappointed we never got to hear the epic love fortune.
haha we lost it before we had a chance to give it a good look. Probably not the greatest luck.
I enjoyed this - so interesting to see a different side of Tokyo.
I like the music. It reminds me of the older videos.
Thanks! I made it! -E
@@kydeanderic Oh wow! That's even cooler!
The new camera vision looks so good ~!!!... depth of field !!
Tokyo is aways amazing. I think if you travel only in Tokyo for 20 years you have stil not see all parts of Tokyo. Again as always a amazing video!
Just wanted to comment for the channel! You know I started watching you guys when the pandemic started ten years ago and power watched all your videos, always eager to see your next adventure. Thanks for taking us to all the hidden corners of Japan while in lockdown!
Thanks for coming along!
loved it, thanks. Really like the trips that show Tokyo beyond the top attractions list
visited Shibamata when we vacationed in Japan last year at the beginning of Covid. You guys missed the old man with the suitcase (real life person of the carricature statue that you guys saw) and the lady that sells golden poop (she speaks multiple different languages)
Hahaha welp, we gotta go back. -E

• @28:38 behind the bridge is an amazing 2 story wooden carved structure. i think y'all get there too late (they close around 4PM? 3PM?).

Guys, just watched Katsushika videos again. Coming back there in November. Just commenting cause you asked for it… 2 1/2 years later!
really cool mini series, hope to visit it someday.
Loved that shishimai omikuji. I would definitely put some yen into that to see the show.
Yea it was an awesome surprise. -E
Love this video and I would love to visit that spooky temple someday.
Really good, interesting and informative!
That was a creepy fortune teller! Reminded me of the movie Big
14:09 That brooch(?)on Kyde's coat looks like a Katydid😊🦗
That's what it is! Check out the first Katsushika video where we were given those little pins. th-cam.com/video/GiAO6HOGRVo/w-d-xo.html
New camera looks dope! That whole scene at 23:00 is gorgeous!
Yea, I was really happy with how that little bit came out too! -E
Really enjoy your passion for slides :)
Last time I visited Japan I was staying in Chiba and took the Joban line almost every day into Tokyo.
There isn’t a love button so ticked the like. Great content as always!
wow that shishimei maschine was cool !
That Temple seems worth a visit! :D Wonder if it's nicer at daytime or is it nicer in the spooky atmosphere at night?
The round thing on the detention center could be a helicopter landing pad.
I really want to visit Katsushika now!
Maybe witching hour was starting at the shrine. between 1-3 A.M. The Hour of the Ox is a time when evil spirits visit and curses are done. 😂😂
Gosh that drink sounds like I'd be sleeping in a corner passed out. Im a very light weight with alcohol. Those zodiac statues were amazing!!! Love your videos🙂
Kyde's hair looked amazing in this. Cool ku! ❤
Love it! Looking forward to seeing you guys on 2.5 Oyajis later too!
If you do other revisits to anywhere to see more. I'll be perfectly happy to follow along. The prison building dish is probably a helipad.
Love your travel vlogs guys! I think I've seen them all by now.
Love your videos!
Yay! Thanks. -E
Algo robo give Kyde and Eric the viewers they deserve!
