OMOTESANDO HARAJUKU Crossing

Thematic Cafes
Tokyo seems to have a thematic cafe for just about everything. From cute Cat and Hedgehog cafes, to wildly colored Kawaii Monster Cafes , if you can think of it or even if you can’t, Tokyo has a cafe for it.
Kawaii Monster Cafe
Yoyogi Park torii gate - Crossing Yoyogi park bridge you’ll find a giant tori gate welcoming you into the park. I

Mount Fuji (Fuji San)
One of the truly best Instagram spots of Tokyo is Mount Fuji. It is an iconic image of Japanese art.

I'm a volunteer guide at Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Thank you for introducing our guide service. The monstrous building is Shinjuku Park Tower. It was designed by Kenzo Tange who designed the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.

[@grrrltraveler]

Thank you for lending your guide knowledge and time! ❤️ Such a GREAT travel resource. I wish I knew about it in advance so I could’ve taken it 😁

[@nunux7738]

This is my first video that I watched from your youtube channel and I am trully impressed! Hope that someday I will see this amazing spots! Thank u for sharing such beautiful places💙

[@ian4569]

I love how thorough you are with you vlogs. I especially love how you bring to light those little nooks and crannies which are sometimes overlooked in guidebooks. And the cherry on top of the icing, I love your personality. Great channel. I did share it with friends. Blessings and safe travels! 👍🏾😃💟

[@grrrltraveler]

Thx- I hope to always find a little extra to feature that isn’t obvious. Usually depends on my research and avail resources. 😃

[@pwoolveridge1]

Hey Christine, as ever love the video and keep doing what you are doing. I’m sure at times it may be difficult and hard work with little reward, however believe me your continuous efforts inspire the rest of us to travel. Watching your videos motivates me to travel and plan for the future and hopefully to see as much of the world as i can. Due to work commitments i can only travel for short trips, nevertheless still worth it. Of to Georgetown Penang in March, cannot wait.

[@grrrltraveler]

Thanks for your support Paul 💕✨, Have a wonderful trip to Malaysia! xoxo

[@annoyedbyyourface]

Mt Fuji looks absolutely beautiful. Definitely a "must see" on my travel list!

[@furtherdefinitions1]

I lived in Japan for 4 years. I love it and miss it. Ome of the best places in the world that I have lived in, and I have lived in many places. My wife worked in the municipal building when she worked for NHK. BTW GRRRL Traveler, I have lived in other places you do videos of, and it brings back many memories

[@HoneyButterBiscuits]

Great suggestions 🙂. My top 2 Instagrammable places to visit in Tokyo are Ueno Park (I'll be visiting during Spring for Cherry Blossom season) and the teamLab Borderless exhibit at the Mori Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo.

[@grrrltraveler]

Wonderful recommendations! Doh, I missed a digital art museum!?! Ah Cherry blossom season!!! Hope to experience that.

[@mspchanel]

great video, I feel in Tokyo it's really amazing

[@grrrltraveler]

It really is!

[@TwoScotsAbroadGemma]

Christine! ODing on all things Japan. We leave next week. Super excited! Lots of great tips, cheers pal ~ Gemma

[@grrrltraveler]

Haha. Thanks Gemma- enjoy your trip to Japan! 🤗 First time I presume? You'll have a blast.

[@deanhenry4314]

Awesome list. Your video really helps with my tokyo trip research so far.

[@SarahWheeleeTravels]

Great title! And I loveeeee it! Great narrative and so many beautiful shots!

[@grrrltraveler]

Thanks! Haven’t you been to Tokyo Sarah?

[@graysdir9338]

Thanks for sharing, solo travel guru! We love every video you create!

[@grrrltraveler]

Awww you’re awesome! ✨Thanks for the 💕

[@amique809]

Ohhhh please go try if you have not. Asakusa Okonomiyaki Sometaro. Great food, vegetarian option. ❤

[@grrrltraveler]

Ami!!!!! Wish you recommended that earlier- I heard about okonomiyaki but I couldn’t find a place dedicated to it and I knew it existed 😲❤️

[@lw.1234]

Great video as always. I'm often inspired to do some solo grrl traveling whenever I watch your vids! Keep on inspiring! 💖

[@grrrltraveler]

Japan is a pretty safe country to do it ni and ppl are very polite 😁

[@nazfromqueens]

We love Tokyo so much!!! This is a great top list!

[@ChakirIbenElFarok]

Awesome video! Hope this is going to help me while being in Japan

[@vanessar9674]

Love your vlog christine 💜 it gave me more ideas to visit more places in tokyo on my first visit 😊

[@grrrltraveler]

Yay- have an awesome time!

[@AdventureFaktory]

WHAT A GUIDE! I wanna go back so much, Didn't go to to the Hie shrine, what a fail, please introduce us to Hai if we come! From his name, I guess he is Vietnamese too!

[@guapovagabondztales9586]

AWesome! That cat temple is pretty cool. Tokyo is just so dense everywhere. Did you ever try the maid cafe? That's been done a lot.There are actually a lot of cafes in Tokyo. I don't think they're cheap- you're basically paying for the novelty.. But if I had a ton of money I might try a handful. ;)

[@grrrltraveler]

Nope. They can add up. Kinda wanted to visit the prison cafe- but it revolves around ordering different creative dishes!

[@STOPsignforRT]

👍👍👏👏👏👏!!!!!!!!!! Love your Japan videos! Just joined / subscribed to the GRRR Fam. 🤗

[@grrrltraveler]

Yay!!!!💕

[@guapovagabondztales9586]

I just subscribed to you on Instagram!

[@vernwash2012]

We got a good shot of shinjuku crossing above Hachi’s statue. Mind you, we were lost in the station so it was a bonus! Have to find these other places,next time we go!😉

[@Luxuberrys]

*Que bellooooo*

[@storykillers2986]

Definitely bookmarking this. I'm not an Instagrammer but I love photography and this takes away the guesswork away. Love your Instagram feed btw- I can see a lot of the photos you took. You didn't put all of this stuff in though. ;)

[@life_with_ty12]

Wow Tokyo is beautiful. The mountain Fiji is beautiful to. A good spot for a Instagram picture were being at the mountain fiji. I hope that's how you spell fiji.

[@grrrltraveler]

+Tyler Garden and acting vlogs Fuji. Bwahaha. 😸

[@justarandomotaku210]

Thank you for this video! I loved it! i'm going to Japan for my study abroad program in just a few months! i'm so exited! 'im making a list of places I want to visit and then sharing it with my fellow study abroad students!....the only thing that's not exiting is the program fees.......D: im so broke. somebody plz send help.

[@turnleftrighthere2605]

Love this! I might be taking a pit stop in Tokyo and this is the kind of info I want - very concise!

[@edagent344]

I like the way you did this video! Did you make a video on Harajuku? I don't recall one. I want to visit there.

[@grrrltraveler]

+Ed Agent Harajuku video is still coming- that part in Tokyo is simple wild fun.

[@inspireandmotivatealways998]

Very good 👌

[@yannisger]

Hello. What is the name of the capsule hotel featured in the video ?

[@misstakes5609]

were those french fries? They are unusually long!

[@grrrltraveler]

Haha. They were 🍟 so long it should be illegal😂

[@charissecuaton9753]

Hi... how's the weather now in tokyo?

[@storykillers2986]

ps. Love how you're absolutely sweating in this video. Adjacent to your Arctic video it's a funny contrast. You certainly travel extremes.

[@storykillers2986]

haha. you are absolutely struggling with that heat aren't you?

[@grrrltraveler]

Lol it was 35 deg C which is mid-high 90s. This heat made travel and filming challenging. Kinda like the arctic

[@brettrohlfingvideo]

Sad to see that the instameet group is dead.

[@cutetay71]

Look at all those people in that crosswalk. Makes me nervous

[@grrrltraveler]

At least you will never be alone! =D

[@DreamJourneyJPN]

Wow! Hie shrine is somilar to Fushimi-inari shrine in Kyoto!

[@Tricia622]

Such an amazing place. I would love to see it some day. How do you keep from getting sensory overload?

[@grrrltraveler]

+Tricia Stuart Great question! It is a lot to take it all at once. I think the orderliness helps balance it out but the density is still pretty surprising, even shocking.

[@MrChacha2011]

love the tour but its funny how think you have to do things a certain way. Just enjoy the trip and stop worrying about copying someone else.

[@foysalfahim9334]

I'm your big fan...... I love u soo much... Plz.... Came my country (Bangladesh?)

[@grrrltraveler]

[@ChakirIbenElFarok]

Does anybody has some personal recommendations for me? Let me know!

[@grrrltraveler]

+Chakir Iben el Farok check my travel blog for more specific travel guide details. 😃

[@skipper4114]

This is so much better than the India videos..........I am not sure why one would travel in such a dirty and unsafe place especially how they treat women. Japan is so much better. Thank you.

[@sassykittie5]

Love your videos!! Have fun traveling!

Omg, New Subbie from Kapolei Oahu. I'm a newly retired military member and I fell in love with your channel! So now I'm going to have to binge watch your channel from 9 years ago to your most recent post. Keep up the great content. Peace Love and Aloha!

[@mikediamond4997]

Wow, you have one LIKE per every 100 views. Your fans SUCK bigtime! You deserve more than that for this effort. I know KZbinrs who's videos truly suck but their fans are like glue to their every move. You deserve more for this work!

[@edagent344]

Just cycled back to rewatch - i'm in the process of planning a trip for cherry blossom season. Which spot do you think is best to photograph cherry blossoms?

[@shahrivar3418]

*monitoring :) since I plan to do Hanami hunting this April

[@redoctober6521]

If I could add, if you have the chance to catch 御来光 (Goraikō) on the top of Mount Fuji, the numerous selfies opportunities from the higher deck of Tokyo Skytree, and shots in and around the “Big Egg” the Tokyo Dome (Home of the Yomiuri Giants, and occasionally the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters will play a few home games there as well, check their schedule to see which dates they’ll be in Tokyo Dome. Baseball in Tokyo is the best)

[@grrrltraveler]

Beautiful recommendations as usual! Now I feel like I should’ve put a shout out to my GRRR fan for recommendations before leaving! 😁 the goraiko fascinates me- I’ll have to google that. My cousin is a huge baseball fan- her recommendation was the Tokyo Dome too! ✨

[@alyssab5508]

Always loving your videos Christine! I think I'd like a bunch of thsese places, especially Harajuku and the hedgehog cafe thning. Mount Fuji looks so awesome. Glad you got to do it.

[@misstakes5609]

There's a hedgehog one?

[@grrrltraveler]

Yup there’s a handful of animal cafes.

[@grrrltraveler]

You’d love it- harajiku is so quirky at times it’s easy

[@edagent344]

There's also a maid, owl, hospital, prison, robot and more ....

[@JayDollarhide]

Thanks for all the great ideas on IG photos that can be used in Japan, and even taking those techniques and using them in other places! Someday I will get to that country, just not yet. I know from everything I see it's a beautiful place and rich in culture. I would love to go when the cherry blossoms are blooming and it's warm and sunny, haha.

[@grrrltraveler]

Thanks for taking the time to comment Jay. I know you’ve been very busy and your load is not light at the moment. xoxo Youre a sweetheart!

was it easy to get to hie shrine? And what are the other things we can do around the area? We're planning to visit hie shrine just for the torii arches(?) and i was just wondering if it was worth it?
