One tip for visiting Japan is wear good shoes and use them a lot. The train system is awesome so it's tempting to ride it everywhere. But the more you walk the more cool places you'll stumble upon. I ended up on Yanaka Ginza simply because it was on the way to where I was headed.
Now this is my kind of travel tip, lol. I agree 100% about the walking and having more opportunities for discovering some of the local best. You're very lucky! I hope I get a chance to go as I just finished my first year of 日本語 (self-studying). I absolutely appreciate you sharing. ありがとうございます。
This area looks so cool, especially as a ginger lover! Also, as someone who loves to walk around Japan, I absolutely LOVE the "On Foot" videos and wish there were more!!
Thank you for your comment! We will definitely try to make more « On Foot » videos! We made a second one in the past, here is the link in case you didn’t see it: th-cam.com/video/6XLjDUvkKDc/w-d-xo.html
Wow!!! I was craving for a video like that guys. It was amazing! I'm happy that a big city like Tokyo has a calm area like Yanese. It is really inspiring. To make the things better you guys made a really really well explained video. Thanks you so much.
Most shops in Japan don't open up until 10 or 11 AM, and many close by 5 or 6 PM. Depending on what time of the year you are traveling to Japan you will have longer or shorter days of sunlight. Yanaka is a cool place to check out, It definitely feels nostalgic with its small shop culture, but also part of the present.
Interesting! I was only going to stop at a soba shop outside Nippori station, but now I have an opportune reason to explore that section just opposite where the shop is.
No, it is not mandatory. To the opposite: the government guidelines state that masks are generally not needed outdoors (although the general public still sticks to wearing them). More about mask customs: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2234.html

I am Japanese. My high school was in the "Yanesen" area. If you want to visit Yanesen, June is the best time. Azaleas at Nezu Shrine are famous.

Finally, after 9 months, an narrated video!
Even in this much more modest format, the narrated video is great. More like this please.

so good to see your guides are back ;_)
Interesting! I was only going to stop at a soba shop outside Nippori station, but now I have an opportune reason to explore that section just opposite where the shop is.
I loved this video and commentary, can you tell me please, how long it took you to do the circuit from Nippori Station and back to Nippori Station.
Thank you so much! This walk takes about half a day!
I think you should also include a written article to accompany the video
short stroll video, me gusta
Thank you so much!
Hi... How long did this stroll take?
Hi, Thanks for your question! For this itinerary we suggest spending a full day around the different spots :)
@@japanguide thanks for the review. Looking forward to similar vids 😊
I’m very confuse that I’m going to Japan to see cherry blossom later of March beginning of April 😅
Is mandatory wearing a mask outside?
No, it is not mandatory. To the opposite: the government guidelines state that masks are generally not needed outdoors (although the general public still sticks to wearing them). More about mask customs: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2234.html
