    Hey Kengo San! Just returned from my Japan trip. Thank you for your videos. In fact, the Tokyo metro was a bit confusing lol. The jet lag made it even worse. We went to Pokemon center, cafe, Sensoji temple, Tsukiji market, Akihabara gigo etc. Kyoto was definitely a lot better than Tokyo in my opinion. Lots of temples and sightseeing. Nara was 100% my favorite!! Although it’s only a day trip, we did not once regret it. Nara park itself is huge and full of history. *hide the deer crackers…* In Osaka, we went to universal studios but the lines were super long (1 hr~ per ride). We unfortunately enjoyed Osaka the least. It’s full of shopping places and crowds… And we learned a lot from your Shinkansen video! Definitely an experience. One thing I wished I knew before going to Japan is that most local places in Kyoto is cash only lol

      @@tokyokenchan Next time I fly to Tokyo I'll experience riding it. Its one way of learning new neighborhood in Tokyo. I follow sumo closely. Last April 2024 I joined sumo jungyo in Toyama & Saitama. There I got to meet a rikishi of Futagoyama youtube. Toyama had not had jungyo since the year before covid. Tickets weree soldout "kanbai" 3 Toyama native rikishi's were there, Asanoyama-Onosato-Endo.🤗

    Very informative video as always Kenchan! I didn't even realise there were many department stores in Ikebukuro and ended up going to Sunshine city only.

      Thank you for watching Ryuga san! Oh you went to Ikebukuro! Haha, they are very large department stores in Japan but very thin building and entrance is quite complicated especially Seibu side. :)

    Great video. But you didn't say what that green drink was. It looked so refreshing.

      Likely "cream soda" which in Japan is actually an ice cream float using melon soda. Melon soda is a little bit of an acquired taste but it's also the best soda in the world, maybe. I order it anywhere that offers it. The fanta version is best IMO. Ramune is fine but expensive for amount. Suntory is passable. Some try to be "cream soda" flavor but I don't think they taste right- the deliciousness of a "cream soda" is in the difference between the creamy ice cream and the sharp sweetness of the melon soda. Drinking "cream soda" soda just tastes like you've let your cream soda melt. Straight melon soda or a "cream soda" are best I think.

    I enjoyed getting food items at a huge discount in Seibu! I thought: Japan wasn't expensive after all! Thanks for introducing other spots to visit for next time!

    I enjoyed the raw video of the walk in the first place you visited.I wasn't sure I liked Kamakura as I thought the statue was the only attraction but now I know better. I'm adding Kamakura to my day trip outside of Tokyo. Thank you!

    We considered going to Ikebukuro our first time, but never made it there. This was a very informative video about the area. I definitely want to see Ikebukuro. It looks like a fun place to go, with lots to see, eat, and do. ❤

    Great video. I will say the Sunshine 60 is a hidden gem. It doesn't have the hype of Shibuya Sky but a) its higher, and b) youre not in the elements getting whipped around or subject to random non-refundable weather cancelations. Also, almost no lines. We saw TDR fireworks clearly from there at night.

    • @tokyokenchan
      @tokyokenchan 6 днів тому

      Thank you! Oh wow, TDR fireworks must be quite far from Ikebukuro. It must have been very clear day. Yes Shibuya Sky started to refund for cancellation with 20% fee, but it's still great that we can drop by Sunshine 60 with no pressure or stress for 700 Yen - 1200 Yen.
