    Your videos are always so informative! Thank you for all efforts to help people visiting Japan. I’m looking forward to visiting again in June. I want to visit the Odaiba area in Tokyo and also Sendai. I understand that Tohoku needs tourism, so I want to do my part to support that region. Another channel made a video showing the trip on the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Sendai and it looks amazing.
    Hope you have a wonderful New Year and thank you again for your wonderful videos. ☺️

    With the new tax free system like others country is will be chaos in airport and you have to bring with you all the products you buy go through customs then carry them with to your plane . With the old system you do your shopping , you can put whatever you buy in your luggage when check in all you need is keep the receipts with your passport when go through custom . Can you made a video to clear that matter . Can visitors allowed to put theirs duty free gift in theirs luggage and check in , only need to claim money back at the airport .

    Ken-chan, we are visiting Japan next April-May. Can you do a video about restaurants, shops, and hotels in and around Narita. We will most likely layover for a day before our departure home from Narita but wanted to know whether we should spend a night around Tokyo Station or at Narita Airport. Narita would be more convenient if there are enough last minute shopping and food service in the area. Thank you and always looking forwards to your next episode!

I cant save them on google places since they're not launched yet, so i just save Toyosu Market with note 'Tokyo Kenchan new place' lol.
    Man you have no idea how much your videos have helped me in making my first japan trip itenerary. I just want to say thank you so much! 🙇🏻‍♂️
    By the way, in 11:08 you mentioned about a new pedestrian deck. Is there any specific name for that pedestrian? Maybe it will help since the area looks very complicated.
