10 FREE Tokyo hidden gems in 10 minutes

Harajuku and Shibuya are great but when you're in a crowd of over 800k people and you're all fighting to get the same picture, sometimes it's nice to get away for a bit. Here's my list of how you can beat the crowds and see more of the local, real side of Tokyo. Also this list is roughly 10. I wasn't sure if some of them counted or not but it's more or less 10 hidden gems that you should check out when you come to visit Tokyo.

Holy cow Hannah, you've upped your editing/video game. The first 30 seconds alone, dang. It looks like one of those TV demo videos they're showing at CES right now, not in a mean way, in a omg that's beautiful way.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha thanks Ricky!

[@FreddyHartanto]

agree, really wondering how you can do all these editing things alone, with a macbook air some more lol

[@CurrentlyHannah]

@@FreddyHartanto Hahaha thanks! I just gotta make sure to keep my Air clean and not let things pile up and it works the charm!

[@FreddyHartanto]

@@CurrentlyHannah I think you will need the macbook pro soon to help you speed up the rendering process since your channel is growing so fast. I subscribed to your channel when you 'only' had about 7k subs at that time. Love your content and how you deliver it ever since.

[@MartinaTakano]

I really like how you put your videos together. Good sense of rhythm and flow. My favorite is Omotesando Hills. Some of the spots you introduced are new to me. Thank you.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it!

[@ReflectingMe2024]

Goodness me, Hannah... your editing is absolutely superb. Not only that, but your choice of music is simply spot on too. #kudos

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

These hidden gems are all such beautiful places and much worth visiting and exploring. I really enjoy all your videos very much and especially these kind of videos in particular. You're doing incredibly amazing work with the content you produce and with the special way you put your videos together. Thanks so much, Hannah! All the best 👍❤🇯🇵

[@rebeccadillon290]

Just wanted to say - love your style! I've been watching your videos for a while (maybe a year or so), and I've been enjoying all of them. This one was next level, loved cinematography, storytelling, the outtakes... the whole combination. Cheers, From a fellow Brisbanite

[@kaijiao5553]

You sold me every single place mentioned. Definitely writing them down for my trip next month to Japan!

[@geeganmj]

I stumbled upon your channel and just wanna say your productions value is great and you are about to explode on youtube. Keep it up :)

[@ElenaEnchanted]

The cat in the little green jacket at the end. ADORABLE!

[@tekwoj]

Thank You for making my day better with this video.

[@JammyDonut]

Stunning video!

[@mayagh2]

Love your list! Ive been to most of the places you've mentioned here and Yanaka is by far my favourite of the list, its so peaceful there, especially the cemetary (sounds creepy but Japanese cemetaries give off a peaceful atmosphere rather than a sad one)

[@miranda1000]

Thanks for this video! I’m in japan right now and ran out of things I thought of doing. I’m on my way to cat street now and I loved Yanaka Ginza!! Also hit Nezu shrine and Nakamise street. Great video very helpful :)

[@donprosser7039]

Absolutely THE best vid ever of wonderful, hidden gems here in Tokyo! I’m going to be checking out more than a few this weekend!!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Don! That’s very kindn

[@RandomLifeOfDarren]

Brilliant video! I’m going for the first time in March and this has helped me put a few more things in my itinerary thank you!

[@CameronClarkSpain]

This was amazing!

[@IsabelS_Fuyu]

Wow! Thanks for the great tips! I was happy to find that I put Yanaka into my itinerary as a must do thanks to happily stumbling over a video about it on Lonely Planet. But your other suggestions about shitakazawa for shopping and the other little spots you highlighted makes me even more excited to explore in Tokyo in a few days. Great work! :)

[@pitzbull81]

ahaahahah the closure was hilarious.. great channel!!! great vlogs! keep going!!

[@rjayesperon2924]

the ending is my whole life lmao but u pushed through great content, going japan in a bit! can’t wait, ur videos have been very helpful!

[@simonwilliams2109]

Thanks again, love the “where to go” vid’s. I really enjoy the Oz accent.

[@sonjamartinez8274]

love the intro vid bits!!

[@hijessicaanne]

WOW the cinematography of this is absolutely stunning! Can’t wait to visit some of these places when I go in a few months - it’s my 6th trip so I’m keen to see some smaller local areas 😍

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@paperplanesparadise355]

Thank you very much, great info.

[@mostlymushroom]

Love the out-takes :)

[@Anca1200]

thank you for such an amazing video. I've started following you just recently, but damn girl, you have become my top youtuber who has a content connected to Japan. Thanks xD

[@perdomot]

Your film making skills are awesome. I stay in the Nezu area a lot so I'm familiar with both the shrine and Yanaka Ginza and have to agree that they really are hidden gems.

[@odefication]

Thank you for the tips! I am moving to Tokyo in March (could not be more excited!!) and I will definitely check these out! 😁

[@vellikulho]

Thank you for the tips! Going to Tokyo next month, I shall try these!

[@azuke10]

DAMN THIS is amazing.........love the neighborhood street 'reporting' full of information, and ALL the video shots are amazing. AND the switch up of music. I'm ready to visit this places now

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much Anne! It’s nice when people notice the little things :)

[@patkay]

ooooft that slowmo got me feelin the moods 😍

[@CurrentlyHannah]

120 fpssssssss

[@AtomicKnights]

I can totally agree on Nezu Shrine and Yanaka Ginza. In fact we discovered Yanaka Ginza by accident when we walked north from Nezu Shrine. We never heard of that place before.

[@Castor-ii1sf]

Great video Hannah! Headed to Japan towards end of March. Can’t wait! Oh yea and I agree Sony does need the flip screen. Lol

[@DOGChina]

Hi! From South Korea :) I watch your video every time and thank you for uploading!

[@cazarian1998]

One great human being right here.Oh, nice vid btw

[@gregcromie9939]

Great video. Heading bak to Tokyo in May so this will be handy.

[@sergio98152]

Thanks for the insight!

HANNAH, so helpful! I'll try to hit some of those spots today. thank yo use much.

[@adonleon]

That's really a good topic for the video!

[@PRINCEMEDIAMUSIC]

Wow the video editing is awesome...

[@taisho1125R]

Thanks for this, I'm going soon and needed ideas what to do outside tourist areas

[@phunguin]

Wow! Thanks for the cool Video! Love how you filmed and edited it. I immediately clicked on subscribe haha btw I'm going to Japan in a few days, so excited!!!!

[@kjdep464]

Excellent video Hannah - we love Yanaka Ginza too!

[@brickupgrades]

Hi Hannah have to say..... I’ve been watching your channel from the start and I’m still loving every Vlog. Information I get about Japan from you John Peter Sharla Norm and Chris is invaluable. But I have to say this is the only channel that my wife watches on KZbin about Japan . And I agree with my wife that you’re content cinematography and just you is spot on. And of course it just might be that you’re an Aussie girl.... This just might get me across the line for a holiday this year in Japan.keep up the good work I’m hoping it’s a great 2019 for you and Yoshi Cheers. Mark🇦🇺

[@JamieTK]

Defs remembering these for when I come back to Tokyo (y)

[@fadiladisma7500]

WOW this is very helpful!! hope I could go to all those places on the next 2 weeks! 😊🙏🏻

[@severone_ichi]

Thanks for the recommendations Hannah! I'm flying back next week and I've added the Louis Vitton spot on my list!

[@barbaramaric2905]

WOW!!! subscribed 😍

[@TheenDdIctIon]

I'm going to be heading to Tokyo in March and I'll be trying to avoid the usual tourist traps so this helped me a lot! Thanks!

[@jundun]

4:50 RIP random dog lady, ???-2019, lost to the cosmos. Also glad Nezu Shrine is as cool as I thought it would be! It's one of the shrines I picked out to visit; still can't wait.

[@007Hurst]

Awesome video & channel look forward to more thanks for the share

[@dawnhero6439]

Your intro is soooo coool :D

[@lambin3d]

This is so awesome, never heard of a few of these things but I can vouch for cat street, one of my favorite ares in Tokyo!

[@asandra1804]

Hey I really like your style!!

[@ma3xiu1]

You make such beautiful videos! Also love finding out about new places with vegan options :-)

[@verbo108]

I missed your videos. Haven't seen them in a cuple of years. It's June 2022. Great to see you again. I'll catch up

[@rodyinjapan]

fashion on point :D beautiful cinematography.

[@pasqualray1337]

Great music!👍

[@danhayek]

Your interstitial music is fantastic!

[@rarefactioncurve6310]

I really love those rather "not so popular" places in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan! A great upload!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks! This is the kind of content I love making :)

[@rarefactioncurve6310]

@@CurrentlyHannah Happy New Year, Hannah!

[@thepan]

Thank god I found this video! Will be in Japan on Jan 28th till Feb 3rd, and planned to ONLY visit the hidden gems.

Nice information Good pacing and combination of music/picture Nice haircut (better as in the other videos) Nice humor (4:09)

subscribed after the first 30secs!

Thanks for the tips, Have only a short time there and this will help make best use of the time.

I loved the way you brought us the more local feel, totally natural (As shown by the locals video bombing you, lol). Anotherr AWESOME video. 👍❤👍

Thanks Benn!

'Daijobu-des. Suimasen. Gomen nasai' at 08:26 - I ADORE YOUR JAPANESE! It sounds very natural, spontaneous and gentle to my native ear, Hannah.

Hahaha thank you! I just copy what I hear :)

[@ma-shi7183]

nice!very good video!👍👍👍👍👍

[@GeeTadpole]

In tokyo next week, will give these spots a look :)

[@wehanvanzyl621]

Haven't commented in a while, this was an amazing guide, very, very informative and your explanations as to why you recommend certain places and others not is very helpful. Omoide Yokocho looks like Tokyo's version of Singapore's or Malaysia's hawker centre vibe?
