These tours are always so interesting and fun! A return at night would be awesome! Thanks John! 👍
Absolutely agreed!
Lots of business owners don’t want their shop to be filmed, in part due to the fact that everything is clogged with tourists at night, so he’d probably have trouble filming at night
I lived in Japan from 2006-2010, my wife and I are moving back now, your videos really excite me to come back. She's happy to be home.
Posto incantevole, specialmente per chi come me ama il Giappone e la sua cucina. Anche se da molti viene definito "Turistic Place" la mia opinione è che Omoide Yokocho sia una tappa imperdibile e magari mangiare qualche iakytori o una ciotola di tempera in compagnia. Ambiente socievole ed informale. John sempre super top! Soon I'll be Back in Japan! Bravo!
Thanks for visiting Kabukicho! We walked the same streets again and it made me happy. "Ryu Ga Gotoku" aka yakuza and "Judgement" game setting, its called "Kamurocho" on both sega games. In the yakuza games the Tokyu Milano Bowling Building (Demolished 2016 or 2017) was still there in its full glory (VRZone Shinjuku Bldg 2017-2018), but in real life 44:35 mark we can see its demolished and a new one will be built on it. The Toho Cinema and Big ad screen was right behind john when he is facing the park at the back side of Godzillla he just didnt looked up behind and missed it ^_^ ps dont wander in kabukicho late in the night, if you wanna night vlog there i suggest 5pm to 8pm even if there is good police visibility, we dont want john or any of the visitors running into any of kabukicho's shady characters...
Back street history tours are by far my fav vids from your channel
Came in from my walk and saw your vlog was live 1hour ago...I love to spend time in my garden and then walk...my house is beautiful and I enjoy it so much. I like Shinjiku but the the other side to me is better close to Isetan. We found a great hotel with a bunch of little old ladies that had a good size place and the food was good...they would feed us for at least one meal a day...so reasonable...I hope they restarted their business after the world wide shut down. I would love to go back again soon.
So excited for this stream. We stayed in Shinjuku for the last part of our trip in 2019.
Nice tour，thank you for sharing
GREAT STREAM!! Thank you fir all the history!!!! That's something I really live about your content, sadly I didn't get to watch this live but it's always a great thing to wake up to in the morning!! By the time I make it to Japan all the historic charm might be long gone and rebuilt and that makes me sad but at least I can always rewatch these videos🖤
Oh I see the Prince Hotel...we have stayed there...my Mom went to school with their family in Ginza. She loved stay in the one that burned down.
Love how they change the leaves display as you said John regards piss alley!!! 🤭
Hope and wish they keep them!!! Not demolish!!!! 🙏🏼
Great steam!!! Love Shinjuku at night!!! ❤️
Fantastic John, I didn't see it when it was Live, All the same phenomenon great viewing 🎥
Looking forward for the Night 🌃 session 👀✌️
Great video! I love visiting Artnia at Square Enix which is near this area.
It reminds me of NYC, I am from NYC but now live in Florida. I love Japan and want to visit it one day!❤️
I was there last December 2019. Bringing back memories. Thanks John!
Daphne Wong you’re welcome! Thanks for joining me on today’s adventure!
We stayed at the Gorilla Hotel last time. The area has lots of lives and a very convenient place. Love Shinjuku so much!
Great food in Kabukicho. Andthe Godzilla shows are hourly and much better at night
Yay new video ! I love your tours I hope I can visit Japan soon!
Hi from Texas
We crossed the intersection there at the Yunika Vision building when we were there. I was so busy making sure I didn't get separated from family that intersection was a blur. It's nice to see it again from your perspective and to see what I missed.
Hi John. Missed the live stream again! This was nice. Informative and someplace to visit provided it's still there by the time we're able to travel. Thank you.
Thanks, John! This was so fun for me to watch. Brought back memories - Omoide, Yokocho, Hotel Gracery, and even the bar you paused at, Cafe 88. We hung out there one night to kill some time while the girls were shopping haha.
This is where I always end up every time I’m in Tokyo! Thanks for the walk through! Couldn’t make it this year, but maybe back in 2021 😊
My wife and I had some delicious yakatori here. Thanks for taking us along.
Lol Love Hotels...ah the memories...
Looking forward to the night time version. All the best with the fireworks event - excited!
Can you make a live steam or documentary of about how unique those plastic or waxed foods dishes are made?
You've shown them a lot in front of various restaurants showcases. that would be very interesting. Thanks.
Thanks for doing this. I love to see real day life of japanese. I love to retire in japan. Please keep posting
13:45
the worst toilet by far is the outdoor public one off of takeshita street.
That ambiance is ssooooo beautiful 😍 Im so jealous 🥺
SHOGUN BURGER 🤤 We tried the vegetarian burger @ shogun burger last year, it was amazing would definitely go back. They use meat free patty’s from ‘the vegetarian butcher’ you just filmed above the logo on their menu board and missed it 😉
Was the motorbike ride that long ago?!?! Wow time flies!! I remember that stream very well, a classic for sure!
new subscriber here and am Loving your videos. love the history and info you give. You also have an awesome personality! keep up the great work.👍😁
Hi Sara! Welcome and thanks for joining us today!
Love your walk abouts. Hope you continue these videos 👍
Great walking tour! 26:17 I've finally seen my doppelganger! (Dude in the hat) Even walks like me. lol. Thanks again!
Omoi Yokocho was called Piss Alley in Lonely Planet about 20 years ago when I was there.
Love these walks so much... I miss Japan, and considering we are being forced to stay in Australia and can't leave, I am not sure when we will be there next, this is keeping my Japan pining under control, thanks John ❤️🇯🇵
The Great Muta!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Godzilla looms in the distance! I can tell I'd have a blast in Shinjuku
Fantastic John, I didn't see it when it was Live, All the same phenomenon great viewing 🎥
Looking forward for the Night 🌃 session 👀✌️
Mostly i like it that place
Oh dear. I went to that exact spot in the first minutes of this video last year, simply because it appears in the opening title of “Midnight Diner”.
[John...there was a Hennessy commercial showing a fireworks show. It stated to go to its website to see the old fireworks presentation]
That’s not coincidental
Lol
Hello! Watching from Guam 🇬🇺 japan is really nice place.
I hear Guam is Lovely too.. matter of fact i follow a Photographer on YT from Guam... he's quite good and very good.
Yes, we have alot of tourists coming from japan. Mostly tourists is japanese. But now we have korean, Chinese, and even Russian. But not now no tourists at all because of this pandemic.
''Vegetarian OK?''
''N ... No. But cow OK.''
The Shinjuku Loft House was down there back in the 80’s a live house and i saw George Thorohgood there play live
Just watched the beginning (I came in late). I was under the impression 'Piss Alley' was the parallel alley beside the train tracks. You'd have your yakitori in Omoide then relieve yourself in the next yokocho.
Ah, I think it may have been the whole area, it was different 50 years ago than now. I do look for old timers who still come here from the Showa era. Many are creatures of habit.
I've been following you for a while. Really enjoy your videos. But, never awake with you live stream. lol
"Does anyone know what that speaker lady says? I always wondered."
To answer that comment, she's actually warning people about frauds on the street.
They would entice you to visit a store, but then rob you cold. The announcer lady is saying don't follow them into the back alley.
Please do a kabukicho nighttime walkthrough! BTW the Anshin Oyado capsule hotel just to the southeast of Shinjuku station is a wonderful and super convenient place to stay.
Good morning John ,, unfortunately my husband and I canceled our flight on 10/16. So we re not able to see around Tokyo and MT fuji this year.. Thank you for the video ,I just imagine w that we re walking with you ,LOl We will try tto rebook our flight next year of February,
センパイ見るとホッとするわ！
aren't single layer stretchy masks like Pitta much less effective than 2 or 3 layer cloth masks? F1 racers have some very cool looking hi tech masks but they're like $40-50 each.
Effective? Only N95 will protect you and that if you wear a face shield of goggles too. No, it’s the other way around. Masks are like condoms. If everyone is wearing, little gets through. Risk is down, infections too. That and social distancing works. There are some cool masks though!!
As a fellow New Englander, it’s interesting to see areas like that have festive fall touches. Love all the orange and red and the leaves, does anyone put out pumpkins this time of year in Japan?
So nice japan
We’re you thinking of taking Kanai to that love hotel, John? LOL
Watching all the way from Doha Qatar ♥
Woah!!! That’s so cool!!
@@onlyinjapanGO i really missed Japan..i stayed at Kita - Shinjuku Chome 3 before...i really enjoy visiting japan. ♥ keep it up! Take care and be safe always..always watching here ♥
Show us the Autumn foliage in Tohoku :)
Amazing how much Shinjuku has changed since 1885 where only 50 people used the station each day to what it is now.
Shinjuku means NEW INN 🏨 most are old now 😂 but it has so much character. Yes, it’s the busiest station in the world now. I didn’t know it was just 50 a day then!! Great info!! Back then, the main train stations were Shinagawa and Shinbashi!
👍👍
All the signs all over the buildings make the city look cluttered and covers the architecture that some architect(s) spent hours designing. I still love the best thing that has come out of Tokyo, and that is my Japanese wife of 50 years.
I Really Salute You That You Explore Kabukicho In Daytime Although I Had Been To Shinjuku Before & Can I Just Ask You Will You Be Going To Kyoto Oimatsu Sweet Shop As There Is Lots Of History About Sweets & I Hope You Think About It In The Future. Anyway Thanks For Showing About Kabukicho At Least We Want To Know How The Place Is Despite I Never Been There Before. Thanks Again.
Get Tokyo Lama to join you John.
Missing Shinjuku. Was there in October 2019😃
👍👍😍
It's a long shot, but does anyone know the name of the singer/song around 48:48? She sounds so familiar...
Funny that when John talks about the importance of wearing a mask.....a pedestrian pass by without a mask.
That Yokocho really is a fun part of Tokyo to see, unfortunately can be tricky to eat there unless your Japanese language skills are pretty reasonable. Often stay near there as it’s cool, historical aspect of Shinjuku though! Robot restaurant is the most tackiest, touristy thing you can possibly do in Japan......but it’s absolutely awesome evening of crazy entertainment - never had anyone I know that’s gone not have a great time with its over the top show!
How does your arm not get tired from holding the camera/stick?
Its sad that labi location is closing
Hi, is it possible if u do whisky factory tour like in yamazaki, or hibiki, or hakushu?
Can't wait for more ''The Night of the Living Stream'' horror episodes! ;D
Certainly with Halloween coming, midnight streams are a must! 🎃
😲
新宿西口のこの辺はブレードランナー(1982)のイメージにもなったと云われてるね。
Blade runner! Yes, that’s the image!!
I saw “養老乃瀧”everywhere....is that a restaurant chain or what kind of business is that. I always gave this question....
34:51 Menu difficult to read?
Hey! Show us Ginza when you get the chance.
Intresting and informative stream 👍 Arigato that , even thou that p.... alley wasn't that appealing .....🤔😂👍
oh it just ended
Just missed it! Sorry about that but I’ll be baaaack!
You are still answering the question asked since 1984, Are you big in Japan?
Gojira
Looks a bit like Akira...
one of the photos Jonh shows looks like the market scene from ghost in the shell
@@bomrapaz07 its amazing how anime mirrors Tokyo...
Is this where that chemical tragedy by that man happened in the subway
(Edit to elaborate)
Bring Kevin with you at night
Peeps, is that area really that bad at night? or just "bad" for Japan..
It's not bad at all...maybe a bit seedy but from my experience still realtively safe.
Bad but not dangerous. Naughty but a Japanese naughty.
If youre a single male you’ll get hassled...but it’s still safe enough to go with your family if that’s your thing.
Thanks for the replies. I had a feeling. I've been to Japan many times and was only hassled once by the cops. I know it's not the same thing.. I don't mind "Dodgy areas"
@@modtomodern 👍
So many commercials
Get Ruth to go with you at night John 😎
Ah! She was going to join me for one at Tokorozawa but it was cancelled due to the typhoon couple weeks ago. I’ll try!
Yes! Go back at night with Jennifer. that would be fun :P
She’s in the USA now!
ONLY in JAPAN * GO oh okey
In hope she gets back when they allow herself in again
Hi
👋
I love the end of the walk I been there in that part of Japan thanks for sharing
Some selfish people still don’t wear mask even in Japan
I visited that area and was not very impressed. it was very shabby and overpopulated. I was disappointed with the fact that there were more Koreans in the area.
It’s a tourist trap now, although the last few weeks it looks like it did 15-20 years ago before the tourism boom.
I guess this place is for young people if you’re oldies you’ll not appreciate this place but if you’re oldies with the history’s of having a good time when you were young you’ll appreciate this kinda new vibe
It is really incredible to see a city like Tokyo in 2020, a city that is going to host soon the most global event on the planet like the Olympic Games still not caring at all about the foreigners visiting or living there.
Any notice, any warning they put around.....even if it is regarding such an important thing like Covid-19...all and always in japanese. No way to have the translation in english, no way at all.
That is really something incredible to believe, incredible to understand, incredible to accept.
The rest of Asia is not like that, only Japan continues with this nonsense. I really would like to explore their brain in the deep in order to discover the obscure reason behind this senseless mentality and culture.
Tourism pollution
