    Hi John! You have no idea how these videos helps with my husband and I's longing for Japan. We typically visit twice a year and we were lucky to visit last March before the shutdown. We miss everything, the noice, the jpop blasting from buildings, Yamanote train announcements, and the FOOD!

    I lived in Monzennakacho for eight years, 1999-2007. Wonderful area that is a little off the beaten path yet still so close to main areas like Nihonnashi, Otemachi, Tokyo Station, and Ginza. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    On my trip last year I spent a day on the east side of the Sumida, because it was pouring rain which cancelled the Emperor's coronation ceremony and I couldn't think of anything better to do on short notice. I ended up in Monzen-Nakacho by early evening and found the sake shop/izakaya John had highlighted in a previous video of the neighbourhood. I met a sake sommelier there, she pushed me into eating fermented squid guts and other really weird traditional bar snacks, and I got buzzed enough on sampling sake that I ended up buying a bottle to take back home just because it had rabbits on the label. It was a pretty great day.

I hope I can save up and plan a trip for myself and my daughter some day, we've never been on vacation outside the US. One day we'll go :) I have to learn some basic Japanese first though.
