Some statistics. The total distance of underpass around Tokyo staion is 18km connecting 6 other stations. There are 1300 resaurants underground while 1500 on the ground. The longest stright 4.5km. Some new links are still under plan. So Rambalac has chances of new videos.
what are the new links? maybe one connecting Keiyo line to Yaesu side and to Yurakucho? closing the gap between nihonbashi and otemachi? connecting kyobashi to the rest of the system?
Cleanest Underground I have ever witnessed. It's a tribute to the discipline of the Japanese people. They can have cool stuff without trashing it all. Very nice.

labyrinthine and highly evocative of being inside a video game. Dreamlike, seemingly limitless and surreal; vaguely nightmarish, although perhaps not altogether unpleasantly so.
Amazing labyrith! An engineering marvel! Can easily get lost down there. Love the different styles for each passage. So shiny, clean and no grafitti! It looks like good exercise. Thanks.
I had been thinking the same thing.The massive electrical, plumbing/ sanitation and sprinkler system running thru this underground complex is impressive.
Beautiful memories of my wife and I travelling Japan, enjoying Tokyo and its subway. I cannot forget the Yamanote line and the amazing musical announcements, the virtual chirping of birds inside the stations. It was like being in a videogame
Excellent video! It’s almost as if we are actually walking in underground Tokyo! And you’re holding that camera stick the whole time, sincerely thank you, the video quality is absolutely awesome! You make me want to visit Tokyo one day!
That'll be because the MTA doesn't have any competition & the NY Government takes money out and only gives a small amount back based on the current political climate. You cam blame this on the 1930s-1940s forced buyout of the IRT and BMT by the IND which was created by the NYC (or was it the NY State?) Government because in Tokyo there are 2 metro operators, 1 owned by the City & the other by the Central Government and then there are several suburban railway operators and lines plus several bus operators, taxis and other methods of transportation which forces competition and a better service so its not only Japanese Culture that makes the Tokyo Metro/Subway better than the NYC MTA, London Underground*, Berlin U-Bahn etc... *There is more competiton in Tokyo than in London (where I'm from) which is why I think it's a better system in general except for the station exteriors...
@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials Tokyo's metros benefit from getting paid by other train companies to through-operate regional trains, since they connect to other lines unlike most subways. Imo the London underground is roughly on par with the Tokyo metro (barring the central line *shudder*), but I think that overall Tokyo transport is better (including the JR Yamanote line, Chuo line etc).
@@Nukeguy909 Yes there is that as well alongside the often overcrowded Central London Railway; The London Underground does also have track sharing agreements as well such as the link between the South-Western Mainline & the Richmond Line via the District Line built by the L&SWR
I don't know how I missed this video first time around! This is amazing! The underground is more interesting that the entire I city that I currently live in here. Wow - please do more of this "tunnel crawl" videos, Rambalac!
Ram: Thanks again for another fine documentary. Among the things I appreciate, your videos are important because they capture the quotidian aspects of life in Japan. You have enough material to set up an interactive tour of the Tokyo Underground much like Google Streetview, but then you'd have to update it every few months!
even though ive never been too tokio it feels like a place you’ll never get bored in...there’s always places to see...places to have fun and I eat...there’s a new place to visit around every corner...where I live the closest thing to fun is like two hours away...also it’s all so CLEAN
I saw this video once and it was so stuck inside my head that I was desperately need to find it again and I finally did!!! Something about quiet Japanese underground malls/areas makes me so happy and calm!
I so thoroughly enjoyed this video! It's fantastic. It's now on my list of favorites from you. Your videos always take me out of my reality and allow for a joyful escape. And they add to my desire to hopefully visit and explore Japan someday. I'm so impressed and intrigued by Japan's intricate, advanced and expansive underground and metro infrastructure. And safety and cleanliness. ❤
Hang on, all the stations are connected underground via corridors and shopping areas? Like, you can just walk from one station to another underground without getting on a train?
My home city of Toronto is like this, too. There is a giant underground mall that connects to five different subway stations in different location, as well as multiple regional rail, streetcar, and bus stations. You'd have to walk for a few hours before you saw everything!
This is really impressive _!_ I live in busan, second largest city of Korea. Here has also vast underground subway, But, never compete this colossal underground city. When I visited tokyo, I was not walking subway. So, I didn't know how it is huge.
It takes a special dedication to one's art to spend over two hours walking around subway stations as an end in itself. There can't be too many places in the world where one would consider it worthwhile to do so, even for one's art.
The owners of the underground area of Tokyo Station are the owners of Tokyo city, JR Railway, and each building. As a result, the opening hours of underground stores vary depending on the owner of the building, and the atmosphere is different from during the day. Therefore, it is confusing. Since the construction of the underground area has been repeatedly expanded and remodeled for a long period of time, no one will be able to grasp the whole picture. The large space serves as an evacuation site for people who have difficulty returning home in the event of an earthquake.
Don't know why; Don't ask me how...... But these particular videos are soooo calming and relaxing..... Any wonder why out of all the Walkabout videos from around the world, Rambalac is one of my top 5 favourites, ever!!! And I love fast, smooth walk up the stairs ans all...... Very healthy and fit. Carry on...............👍🤘💯
Ok I've been listening to this nonstop since you made this video and it's just so good. It's the perfect thing to put on in the background while I work. It's perfect A+++
So amazed by this video. I love "Subway" by Luc Besson because of the enormous Paris underground but this dwarfs even Paris, you can literally walk underground through the city! Arigato kudasai.
I watch your videos to remind myself that the world is beautiful, it’s just that where I live in, it’s not, but that doesn’t mean that other countries are the same, so thank you!
28:42 I love how even as used to Japan as Rambalac is, he just like me stopped for a second and looked at this and said "why the #@$& are these steps here" LOL.
@@quhp I only got 2 guesses. 1) something big upstairs or literally in the ceiling took so much space it forced that part of the ceiling to dip down, but maybe there's a height requirement for the tunnel so the floor had to dip to keep the height uniform or 2) maybe the floor had to dip specifically for access to those two floor panels toward the end of it for some reason.
the ceiling like others said, and instead of tightening the width of the tunnel it is better to make it passable to avoid funneling during rush hour or evacuation.
The craziest aspect of watching this right now is just how much I recognize from playing games like Yakuza and Persona even tho I have never physically been to Japan. It feels so familiar and so welcoming. I have to go there some day.
YES! You could actually meet someone, date, fall in love, marry, have kids, grow old together - ALL while underground under Tokyo! (I'm being funny, but it seems almost reasonable.) This place is amazing!
That’s the difference between a culture that has been raised to think of others and public spaces before themselves. In elementary school, there is no janitorial staff - every child takes turns cleaning, serving lunch, etc. A lesson many countries could learn.
When I traveled to Tokyo I got lost in Ueno Station. I wasn't able to find the correct exit near to my hotel. I went out at the first exit I found and I had to use Google to find my way to my hotel. It was a bit scary experience LOL
Can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that this dude took 2 hours of his life to walk in the underground of tokyo to give us this amazing entertaining video ?! WHAT A LEGEND!!!
I always find it so fascinating how people don't care about you carrying this big camera, where i live people would run into walls because they would stare at you forever.

Some statistics.
The total distance of underpass around Tokyo staion is 18km connecting 6 other stations.
There are 1300 resaurants underground while 1500 on the ground.
The longest stright 4.5km.
Some new links are still under plan.
So Rambalac has chances of new videos.
what are the new links? maybe one connecting Keiyo line to Yaesu side and to Yurakucho? closing the gap between nihonbashi and otemachi? connecting kyobashi to the rest of the system?
The Tokyo underground is every bit the technological and architectural marvel that a castle is. Thanks for sharing, both of you.
Source?
Further construction is currently underway underground in Tokyo.
Eventually, the following stations will be connected by a single underground passageway.
Higashi-Ginza (Toei Asakusa Line, Hibiya Line)
Ginza (Ginza Line, Marunouchi Line, Hibiya Line)
Yurakucho (Keihin-Tohoku Line, Yamanote Line, Yurakucho Line)
Hibiya (Hibiya Line, Chiyoda Line, Toei Mita Line)
Nijubashimae (Chiyoda Line)
Tokyo (Tohoku/Yamagata/Akita/Hokkaido/Joetsu/Hokuriku/Tokaido Shinkansen, Tokaido/Utsunomiya/Takasaki/Joban Line(Ueno-Tokyo Line), Keihin-Tohoku Line, Yamanote Line, Chuo Line, Yokosuka-Sobu Rapid Line, Keiyo Line, Marunouchi Line)
Otemachi (Marunouchi Line, Tozai Line, Chiyoda Line, Hanzomon Line, Toei Mita Line)
Nihonbashi (Ginza Line, Tozai Line, Toei Asakusa Line)
Kayabacho (Hibiya Line, Tozai Line)
Plot twist: He was actually lost.
Woah... It feels like I would be stuck there exploring it endlessly for days!
This late at night you COULD convince me it was a part of the Endless halls or something.
Cleanest Underground I have ever witnessed. It's a tribute to the discipline of the Japanese people. They can have cool stuff without trashing it all. Very nice.
Oh they can be dirty, but what separates Tokyo/Japan Metro from many other cities is the quickness of the staff to clean up "an accident"
A lot better than our city of Toronto, Canada

You are one of the first to do silent filming in Japan, great job
This is the power of being an introvert haha
I dont think so.....
But I do enjoy watching these type of videos
I hear sound !
not even close
the designs of everything down there are so clean
I absolutely love at 42:20 when you leave the ambient noise of the shopping area, and the trilling trumpet noise fades into the sound of a subway car accelerating. What a beautiful moment
Even Tokyo's underground is so much better than my whole city lol
Hahaha!! Exactly 💯

Thank you for this! I love seeing city stuff. The country walks are very relaxing but metropolitan areas are so much fun.
Japanese metro walks are so much fun. American metro walks are.... let's say unfortunate...
AMAZING WALK. It is so crazy you could stay underground that long. I've got to try this if I ever visit Tokyo again! Thank you for making this!
I appreciate all the time and effort you put in for us. Thank you so much.
omg this straight luxury compared to the huge fecal matter of the NY MTA.
Culture matters...

I feel sleepy watching you walking like walking in a maze. Great job for doing a visual asmr.
Nice, clean and the staff are super friendly. It's crazy how good their 'subway' system is.

A two hour video!? Finally! ありがとう！
I don't know what is more impressive, that half of this place looks like art gallery or that I couldn't find single tag or graffiti.
Italy here, and I totally confirm about graffiti in my country too
graffitis are in other places in Japan

The Japanese have better things to do than vandalize their own country
There's a hard-core wrestler named Minoru Suzuki who got known for leading the fans in a venue cleanup after his smaller audience matched in Japan.
I'd be lost within minutes. I was impressed at 40:06, suddenly turning down a corridor to those arches of warm light
If Japan is clean then their underground is super pristine
Surprisingly well quality of video considering its the underground
