Hi - we were in Tokyo in November last year and took a lot of guidance from your videos! This video on Ginza (especially with the recommendation of the Seiko Museum and Nissan showroom) were also very helpful. Thank you so much!
Kenchan, you totally changed how I envisioned Ginza. Before I thought Ginza was a place only for high-end luxury brands. However, you showed me there are many household brand names that launch their flagship stores to exhibit all their goods and crafts! I will definitely take my family there next time and print all our faces on the coffee XD
Thank you. Ginza is easily misunderstood as high end brand shops are outstanding, but there are flagship stores of Japanese reasonable brands, show rooms of Japanese companies, and shops of different regions of Japan. I have those locations on the Google map in the description. :) I hope you and your family have a great time in Ginza!
Great Ginza video.... I missed this one. I wish I had watched this before going to Japan. I am glad that you featured Yamaha Building. It is an amazing building for music lovers.
Thanks again Ken. My friend and I are actually staying in Ginza right now, and it is surely a magical place to be, especially at night. Also, to update you on our Shinjuku Goen visit yesterday, we really appreciate your video advice on reserving our tickets online for the weekend holidays. There were a lot of people waiting outside, but for those who already reserved their tickets, it was a breeze to get in. Thanks again. 🌸
Thank you so much for letting me know about the Shinjuku Gyoen. I was wondering how it went so I'm glad you could go in smoothly. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Ginza. :)
Nice video. I love the very quick but informative history lesson at the start. The "tip" about that Nissan Cafe which prints your face on the coffee is also nice. Hope you have more of this "hidden" spots in your future videos.
I studied in Japan/ Lived in Tokyo and Fukuoka. Now my daughter is studying at Kyushu University. I hope I will have an opportunity to visit JAPAN again. I love Japan!
@@tokyokenchan yes we will be in Tokyo today. Your channel has helped me plan the family holiday. I think you should do a video on where to buy comfortable shoes because you do so much walk hahah
Great video Samurai. Ginza, Tokyo very nice but looks similar to Paris and others from around the 🌎 Some need the real Japan where most foreigners never go. Real Japanese food, culture, public transportation and the local people.
Thank you for your videos. Really appreciate your clear explanation. May I know if there are English signages for streets in Tokyo? Are these signages clearly seen as we walk along the streets? If not, how do we recognise the streets? Thanks.
Hi. Thank you for watching. You can find the map here. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?entry=yt&mid=15aYRbf5Wbd-JTOMmk7ZLEgFCHkPq2tE&ll=35.67122080640138%2C139.76475759999997&z=17
hello tkenchan, the summer olympics 2020 had a change in visitors able to find stores closer to their places. seeing many more designer names even new york's macy's michael kors is an important purse with a bigger sign. there were no ads in the local here for them. thank you for the health meal of cold serve soba with fried vegs. is there different filter coffeeshops - similar boiling the water in beaker - near soho (they closed) - hiroko's did they return there. thank you gain. elle for guidance
Thank you for the video! There aren't many videos that show where Ginza actually is from Tokyo Station so your highlight of the maps really helps along with naming of the street! Definitely will add Ginza Six and Ginza Tokyu Plaza to my list when I visit Tokyo a few months later 🎉
Thank you for watching. Yes, it's not that far to walk from Yaesu exit of Tokyo station. I hope you enjoy the early summer days at the roof top gardens. :)
There is no right transportation to move from 8 to 1. Only taxi. You might be able to take Ginza line from Shinbashi (near 8) to Kyobashi (1), but it can be faster to walk depends on the location. :)
Hello Albie san, thank you always. Yes, Ginza 6's garden is a nice spot to take a rest and overlook Ginza area. Wow, so nice you are staying at Muji Hotel! I've been always curious how it is. :)
@@tokyokenchan thanks kenchan I did enjoy myself. Thanks to your video I went up to ginza 6 and bought some cakes for take away from cosy corner when I was walking back to my hotel in shintomicho area from ginza
Hello Ken-chan. I was over in Ginza the other day. It is a high end shopping area, though I did not think Ginza is any different from other ritzy areas in other cities in the world. Tourist will not come away with any particular authentic Japanese experience. Much less, unless you are wealthy, there are not many options for reasonably priced places to eat or shop. Of course, some people might enjoy spending money on items that can be procured in their own country. I would place Ginza far down on the list of places to go in Tokyo. With love.
Thank you Kengo san! Such an informative and fun video. I'm going to Tokyo for the first time in 3 weeks and will definitely visit Ginza and all the places you recommend!
Thank you so much for this video guide, Ken-san. It's helping me plan some of the side trips. My family has a trip planned in just 2 weeks and we're staying in Japan for over a month. It's going to be my second time visiting Japan and I'm so excited! I'll be sure to watch your other videos for the areas we're gonna be in.
Thank you for watching and leaving your kind comment. That's great you are staying here over a month! I hope you and your family have a great trip in Japan.

Great Ginza video.... I missed this one. I wish I had watched this before going to Japan. I am glad that you featured Yamaha Building. It is an amazing building for music lovers.
Thank you for watching. It's great to hear you like Ginza. Yamaha is an interesting show room. It must be even more interesting if you know music. :)
Wow, this is so thorough and has many resources. It is so helpful with the map and explanation of the layout. Thank you!!

I only been to Ginza once, like 12 years ago. I will probably visit Ginza again this June and stop by Ginza 6. Thanks.
Oh so long time no see. Ginza has changed a lot in past a decade. I hope you enjoy Ginza. :)

Perfect video❤ thank you 🫶🏽🥰
I just got back from Tokyo. I loved Itoya and had fun looking around Ginza
Itoya is great. I hope you had a great trip in Tokyo. :) Thank you for watching.
What really sets you apart from other vloggers is that you clearly explain everything and your attention to details is superb kengo san!
Hello Cerwin san, thank you for kind feedback for my video. I'll keep working. :)
Another great and interesting video! How do they get your face into the coffee so perfectly? It’s a very cool trick!
I know! They took a photo of me and they send the data to the latte machine I think... It was fun. Thank you for watching and your message. :)
Great video Samurai. Ginza, Tokyo very nice but looks similar to Paris and others from around the 🌎 Some need the real Japan where most foreigners never go. Real Japanese food, culture, public transportation and the local people.
Thank you for your comment. Ginza might not be for all travelers. I'd like to work on more videos on local culture in the future.
We went to Kagari here! It was delicious!
Oh great! Maybe I'll try for my next Ginza video. :)
Greetings from Montréal, Canada. I visited Japan in 2014 and I will be going back in 2025 to visit Expo 2025 Osaka.

Good morning! Have a great Sunday :)
Thank you for your videos. Really appreciate your clear explanation. May I know if there are English signages for streets in Tokyo? Are these signages clearly seen as we walk along the streets? If not, how do we recognise the streets? Thanks.
What is the name of soba restaurant on 3rd floor?
Sorry for my late response. It's called SANADA ( 真田 )
@@tokyokenchan thanks! I may be looking for that place!

Just stayed at ginza the past 2 weeks. Lovely shopping place. G6 garden view was cool at night, watches galore and saw some supercars whiz by.

That cake shop looks yummy...

Hello Albie san, thank you always. Yes, Ginza 6's garden is a nice spot to take a rest and overlook Ginza area. Wow, so nice you are staying at Muji Hotel! I've been always curious how it is. :)
This is just the video for me. I wanted to end my trip with a visit to Ginza later!
Thank you. I hope you enjoyed Ginza and all over Tokyo!
@@tokyokenchan thanks kenchan I did enjoy myself. Thanks to your video I went up to ginza 6 and bought some cakes for take away from cosy corner when I was walking back to my hotel in shintomicho area from ginza

Thank you for including the Google My Map- that really helps with seeing the distance between each place!
Thank you for noticing the Google My Map! I'm glad you find it helpful. :)
We are heading to Ginza from Tsukiji, will you recommend to start from Ginza station or Ginza-itchrome station?
Hello. Whichever easier for you to access is good as it's very close between the two stations.
Thank you
I am first time in Tokyo can u recommend where I stay and easy go to Tsukiji market fish Thank
ginza looks so boring compared to colorful and vibrant shinjuku or shibuya
Thank you for letting me know. Yes, some might like Shinjuku more, some like Ginza more.
@@tokyokenchanlove Ginza!😊
Which is better place to stay in Tokyo? We like cheap good foods, sneaker shopping, convenience store, and uniqlo.
Thank you so much for this video guide, Ken-san. It's helping me plan some of the side trips. My family has a trip planned in just 2 weeks and we're staying in Japan for over a month.
