I was in Japan last year for 10 days and I did everything on this list and I'm so glad I did. Japan is an amazing country and 10 days is definatly not enough time. I will definatly be visiting again.
I'm Japanese. looking forward to your next trip! Your comment makes me happy(^^)
Japan is such a beautiful country. One of my most memorable trips. Awesome video!
I miss Japan. I hope to return in a year or two when Covid 19 is finally under control and no longer a danger.
Wonderful video. I’m going to Tokyo next week for the first time, thanks so much for giving us an idea of what to expect!
I love going to Japan. I had been twice and your website help me a lot. It's very informative and making its easy for our trip. Thanks😁🇵🇭
Great video. Your website is already an awesome tool to use when planning a holiday in Japan. These videos will only help more.
I am going to Tokyo in a week and this video is just a perfect summary of the highlights of the city, the new and the old. Thank you!

Thank you guys, I was able to plan and enjoy my two vacations in the past two years. Hopefully I'll be back this year again.

Thanks much! Have a good trip.
I'm tokyo
I just watched all the videos, what a great idea! I can't wait for the ones to come!
I love Japan! Thanks for an awesome website as well. It's my go to source when planning my trips there :)
Oh my goodness 😃🤗 I just discovered this channel today & I love it 💞 It was always my dream to visit Japan, it's a beautiful & incredible country. This channel is so informative, thank you for the English voiceover too 👍 🇬🇧👋☺
Fantastic video! I must agree those were the top 5. Because those were luckily the 5 things I did in Tokyo from that wonderful time years ago.
Thinking about doing a 2 month Asia trip and Tokyo is definitely on the list! Thank you for the input!
Really informative video! Looking forward to more videos to come. Planning a trip to Japan soon and the website along with the videos have been invaluable.
Thanks Shawn, hope you have a great trip!
I love Tokyo! I was there for a couple of weeks, and i want to go back as soon as possible. greetings from Finland
Hello from Tokyo.
Please visit Japan again.
We Japanese love to have you!
@@atsukominamizaki9565 Thank you!
Love the explainations. Well done
Amazing content! Thank you so much :)
Great guide! Heading to Japan in 2 weeks. Very exciting.
I spent two weeks in Kyoto (and the surrounding area) and fell in love with it. Next stop: Tokyo!
Covered Tokyo in impressive way! Very nice video.
Appreciate the video! hopefully i'll be down in Tokyo later this year :)
Thank you 🙏🏻 for making this video ♥️
I was only able to spend about a day and a half in Japan (YEARS ago when I was in the air force), and had to leave early due to a family emergency. I remember thinking how nice most people were that I met. From the girls in the kimono shop (we didn't understand each other's language, but they helped me pick out the kimono and sash), to the yakisoba restaurant, to the customer service at the airport....everyone was so nice.
Watching this video, and your others as well, has rekindled my desire to take my wife to Japan and see some of the things I saw, and some others that I didn't get a chance to see. I want to show my her the beauty of Japan first hand. Excellent videos....very informative!
Thank you, that was informative.
Been to Tokyo for like 10 days recently with a friend and have been able to visit most of these places on the list and much more, I think we did pretty good job.
Planning a solo trip to Tokyo and Kyoto in October. Great info, thanks!
Have a great trip!
Heading for Japan next week. Thanks for the insight to make the most of the time there. Taking my daughter there for her 21 st. birthday.
Great idea! Have a good trip and happy birthday to your daughter.

i took a trip to Japan in march for 2 weeks, and I felt like it was so little time haha. Someone who likes the culture, the history, and the food I felt like I didn't even scratch the surface. I hope to be back soon.
Thank you for introducing our town Asakusa
I'm thinking of moving to somewhere like Japan for problems, so thanks for the recommendations.
Oh thanks. I was wondering where to go and what to do in Shinjuku, since I'll be staying there with my parents this August. And thanks for recommending Meiji Shrine.
Rener De Castro same!! I’m so excited
this is AWESOME thanks for posting... I just booked my next vacation
Love your videos! Heading to Japan in May and can’t wait! Where did you get the shot at 7:37? I’d love to get a shot similar with the Tokyo tower like that! Thanks!
Thank you very much! I live in Tokyo for one month and now I have an idea what to do on my days off 😉
I miss Japan so much.
A great attraction is the Tokyo National Museum, definitely worth visiting. If I remember correctly it's located in Ueno park.
A good pick! Great recommendation.
Love Japan wish to go back soon❤
Thank u for coming to Japan! Love ur style and editting!
Thank you Nice vedio planning to go next year 4 days tour
Amazing! You practically set my trip to Tokyo in August altogether.
Glad to hear it was helpful. Have a good trip!
Building up courage to travel to Tokyo with my crippling social anxiety.
I hope you went or will go. I went last year by myself for 2 weeks and absolutely loved travelling around and exploring the country.
Y'all should try the ikebukero fire station it's a free course that you go to at a fire station and they show u how the earthquake felt with a simulation also escaping a fire induced place. It's a learning experience but really fun too. The earthquake felt strong 👍🏻.
Am just excited to be in Tokyo in some days to come waiting for the approval of my visa
When we went to Tokyo I was so excited because we are gonna explore Japan!We had a fun time there,eating,exploring,shopping,and lastly having fun. 🙂
Glad you had a good trip!
japan-guide.com Sure did.Was rolling around and jumping and watching the anime...
Thank you for this video that is ideal for a first visit of Tokyo ! 😃🙏🏻 Indeed, this famous city is so vast that one could be really lost what to visit there. 😅
Anyway, everytime I watch a video about Tokyo, I instantly feel very happy. ☺ I just love this city so much ! 💙 This amazing city is of course the biggest metropolis on Earth, but for me it's also the most complete city for everybody. 😀 Indeed, as you excellently show, Tokyo offers an enormous variety of attractions so that everybody find its paradise there. 🗼🏮🎮😄
I have always dreamed of visiting Tokyo and your video increases even more my desire of going there ! 🤗🗼🌃
Thank you for your nice comment!
I visited some of the places you mentioned.😊
Really interesting video with a lot of good information
I'm very glad and like people here who say wanna come to Japan or love Japan!
As a Japanese, I'm very happy to see your comments.
I definitely show my hospitality to you all if you come to Japan!!
>hospitalize
from the world hospital, it sounds like you want to beat us up and send us to the hospital :p
@@gateofbabylon9177 lol sorry I was going to say show hospitality!lol
Thank you for correcting my mistake!
@@dodoapexch1389 no problem. I'm learning nihongo myself so I always mistake wa and ha . I'll be in japan in two days so see you there!
I have a lay over flight for 19hours coming up in this Summer.. looking what to do in those lay over...any comments will be help... thanks
I shared this on FB. This is excellent!
Two comments: (1) You should have mentioned that Sensoji was bombed during World II and was completely rebuilt to original specifications. (2) When you say that in 1868 when the Imperial capital was moved from Kyoto to Edo and Edo was renamed Tokyo, you should say what Tokyo means, i.e. "East Capital." Other than that, the video is REALLY GOOD.
Good observations! It's always hard to find the perfect balance of sharing enough information vs too much information.
Thanks!
I love the way number one was said
"Number one......FOOD"
You guys should do another one of these. TH-cam's algorithm would love it. :P Top 5 Yokohama? Top 5 Hokkaido?
Anyways awesome to see Andrew making videos! :D
Thanks much! We are actually in the process of making a few more Top 5 videos. I see we think alike.
I visited some of the place you mentioned.😊😊😊
Thanks I had to do an essay on this subject :)
I love tokyo and Japan very much

Thanks
Lovely
Was so fun!!! :D I wonder if you know,how they live in Tokyo. :/
Can you make a video about the park and amusement best for family vacation on japan?
I hope I get to live here some day
beautiful nation
OH BUT definitely go to Golden Gai for those who have never been. It’s sooo dope ! I went with my close friend n some Japanese girl we met and we got reallyyyy drunk there lol. We were on our 2nd bar n had 3 more to go to and I was already lit haha. Soo much fun . There’s this one specific bar that I recommend there , I forgot the name but there’s a guy who looks like a Japanese Wayne’sWorld inside and has a sci-fi/ horror themed bar inside . It’s sick ! He’s cool as hell too
I'm going to be studying in Japan in April
I am a little bit disappointed to not see the Tsukiji Fish Market in the list even though you mention nigiri sushi. For me it is the number 1 attraction Tokyo has to offer, with an unbelievable activity per square meter. Knowing that it will move to Toyosu sooner or later (larger, more hygienic, more organised but likely also a lot less charming), I recommend everyone who's coming to Tokyo to go to the inner market in the morning, before having sushi lunch in one of the many sushi restaurants, which doesn't have to be expensive (please stay away from chain stores).
Regarding the observation decks, the World Trade Center close to Hamamatsuchou station and Kyu Shiba Rikyu garden offers a far better view than the Metropolitan Government Building. It is a 360° view, and there are no tourist shops, in contrast to the Government Building. You can even lounge in the sofas while watching the view. Height is approximately the same, they're both at the 40th/45th floor if I remember correctly. Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Tower, the Rainbow Bridge,... are better visible from here. It is not free, but 620 yen is definitely worth it and still cheaper than Skytree (which has the best view without a doubt, even though you don't see... Skytree), Tokyo Tower,...
Another recommended observation deck is the Bunkyo Civic Center (26th floor, free, 270°) which offers a great view towards the west and the sunset behind Shinjuku and Mount Fuji especially during clear winter months.
That being said, nice informative video, I also liked the one on Hakone.
Maxim Geeroms they probably didn’t because the market is closing this year supposedly and it wouldn’t help for future viewers going to japan for the 1st time
i call Shibuya Scremble - "Summer Land"
nice
1:17 You've got the map upside down 😉
Hi there! Great video, I like your website too - just one question - where are the streets in the video from 0:50-1:05 located? Thank you for all! 🙏
0:50 - Kagurazaka
0:56 - Omoideyokocho (Shinjuku)
0:59 - Takeshitadori (Harajuku)
1:01 - Kagurazaka
1:04 - Harajuku Station
japan-guide.com thank you! ☺️🙏
Great video
Is it a good idea to buy a nano sim card in tokyo
Thanks
If you need mobile data, yes this would be helpful. You can also get Sim cards and wifi emitters at the airport.
i'm planing a long trip to japan. I finished my kyoto itinerary at 2 months in japan, i'm going north and finishing up in tokyo, how much time should I dedicate to tokyo without day trips? I was thinking something like a week.
too bad you can be in japan for only 3 months without a visa
Hello
I miss Japan very much.
I want to go to Tokyo.😑😭😭😭😭 From Thailand.
Thanks a lot for the video! Since it has been uploaded 5 years ago, i would like to know if the Tokyo Metro Goverment Office Building still allows to go to the 45th floor to watch the scenery for free.
Yes, it does. More details: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3011_tocho.html
@@japanguide Thanks a lot!
I went to both Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and Tokyo Skytree to get a view of Tokyo skyline.
I must said that a visit to Tokyo Skytree is worthy. The view from the Skytree is spectacular. Admission fee to Tembo Deck is 2100 yen. You can forget about going to the Tembo Gallery, which cost another 1000 yen.
What u recommend to do in Tokyo in December around Christmas and new years
There many unique events around this time as well as some holiday closures that might be of interest to you. Here are the specifics: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2276.html
❤ 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
日本を紹介してくれてありがとう☆
What is the track name of the first 2 minutes? Or where can I listen it?
Im finding it hard to get a tokyo tour that can pick us up at sheraton grande hotel tokyo. anyone stayed at that hotel before?
☺️☺️☺️
excelent, but where is Ginza?
The imperial palace is not in your top 5?
thank you i subed (*_*)
what mode of transportation did you take to go to these places? where did you stay? Thanks.
It's convenient to take public transportation to all of these locations.
Can we visit all (Akihabara, Harajuku, Shibuya and Shinjuku) in a day?
These areas are fairly close together and connected by the Yamanote Line so it would be doable. Of course, it also depends on the depth you hope to explore and the speed you travel.
I would add the Edo-Tokyo Museum and the Ghibli Museum to this list.
The Edo Tokyo Museum is great, but it's in Ryogoku, the sumo wrestling area, and the video does not mention that area at all, likely because it's a little bit out of the Yamanote Line, which the video is using as a guideline for traveling around Tokyo and connecting neighborhoods. Also not mentioned are two trendy neighborhoods: Shimokitazawa and Nakameguro. These too are not along the Yamanote line. Surprisingly, UENO is not in the top five, although that is along the Yamanote Line. Ghibli is a pain to get tickets to, so I'm glad it was not mentioned.
What about a day trip to Nakamura?
Where in tokyo do you capture that timelapse at the end? I assume it's off a building.
Correct! It's from the very top of Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills. Here's more info on observation decks around Tokyo: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3057.html and here's some info about Roppongi HIlls specifically that you might find useful: www.japan-guide.com/e/e3031_hills.html
thanks, can anyone bring a tripod and film off it?
projectmayhem94 sadly, tripods are not allowed on the roof.
where is in Shibuya for lookout ?
This point is free ? I want shoot photo :)
There is a view of the famous pedestrian crossing on the second floor of Shibuya Station near the Hachiko exit. Hope that helps!
japan-guide.com arigato tomorrow i will be in shibuya ✌️
Already did all thi..
😍💯🌠✨👌
Damn too many places to go, and I just travel there for 1 week only
Godzilla is really missing out on all this
Это очень познавательно. Превосходно. Жаль только, что на русский нельзя перевести :(
Я бы очень хотела побывать там.
Я очень сильно увлечена Японией и их культурой.
Каждый день узнаю что нибудь полезное)
Огромное спасибо за видео) Узнала много нового))
