36 Things to Do in Tokyo for First Timers | Tokyo Travel Vlog

[@travelmurmur]

We spent 4 days in Tokyo and can confirm that's not nearly enough! Especially when you're jetlagged. So pro tip: take at least a day to rest and wander around a bit if you know you'll be severely jetlagged. Tokyo deserves all the time you can afford to spend in it!

[@travelmurmur]

So sorry for misspelling Akihabara (twice!) 😢

[@rhinocio]

I love that your suggestions for things to do were very centered on taking in the sights and appreciating them -- I feel as though many travel vlogs to Japan are intent on highlighting how "different" the place is or focused on trying to find the most Instagram-worthy collectables or experiences, so it's really nice to watch a video that encourages people to just like... be in the moment. There's a very grateful energy to your vlogging that I really enjoyed! Beautiful shots, too! None of the cinematograpy made me dizzy (always a perk in vlogs, lol) and some of the moments you captured were truly gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!

[@travelmurmur]

Thanks so so so much for this lovely comment. It made our day! Such kind words ☺️❤️ we're so happy you enjoyed this one. We were so grateful and happy to have finally realised this dream of visiting Japan and we're glad you picked up on that energy. It really sounds like you felt exactly how we wanted you to feel when watching it 🤗 Thank you so much! Have a lovely day/night 😊

Definitely one of your best videos right here ☺️ You really put an effort and it's an amazing trip guide for those who want to visit Tokyo 😁 (I couldn't drink that tottoro, so kawaii 🥹)

[@travelmurmur]

Thank you 🥰❤️ Glad you enjoyed it!

[@exploretheworld971]

looks great , nice❤️❤️

[@travelmurmur]

Thank you ☺️

[@kigas24]

Im going to Japan for the first time in 2 months and I am definitely doing some of these! Loved the video.

[@travelmurmur]

Ah, amazing! You're going to have the best time, I'm sure 😊 Thanks so much!

[@berry1068]

Great video! I was wondering, what camera you used to record this?

[@travelmurmur]

Hi! Thank you ❤️ We filmed it on our Panasonic S5 😊

[@Chief-qk5pb]

Don’t see many videos of Tokyo in autumn! This is great to see as I’m going early November, any tips on clothing to bring? Lovely video by the way 😌

[@travelmurmur]

Such a lovely time of the year to visit Japan 🍂🍁 Definitely layers. It's not too cold but mornings can be chilly. A light jacket is a great idea and then a thick layer + lighter layers (t-shirts/long sleeve) are ideal. More importantly, bring comfortable shoes! Have a wonderful trip and thanks for watching ❤️

[@armiutriainen9108]

The coffees, guys 😍

[@travelmurmur]

🐻🥰

[@yuya1094]

This was such a calming, informative and aesthetic vlog! it was wonderful, thank you for sharing! May I ask in what month did you visit? I'm travelling this November and I would love to know if this vlog was recorded during that time. Thank you! 😄

[@travelmurmur]

Hi! ☺️ thank you so much, you're so kind! We did visit in November, mid-November actually! You'll have a great time and it'll be beautiful, you'll see! 🍁🍂

[@yuya1094]

@@travelmurmur thank you so much for answering, thats great! Just one last question if you don't mind, was the weather cold? I'm scared to pack too much innecesary clothes 🥲🥲

[@travelmurmur]

@@yuya1094 haha, it's okay! Pack layers. Sometimes I (Andreia) wore a thick sweater and it was perfectly fine, sometimes I was wearing a thin sweater with a jacket and that was fine, too. The mornings are always colder but the weather is usually dry so it's not as cold as you think it'll be. Take normal autumnal clothes. Most importantly, good comfortable shoes because you'll end up walking a lot!

[@takashinishida9113]

The Tokyo Red Garden has been known as 八芳園(Happo-en Garden) in Tokyo. There many famous gardens in Metropolitan area, but Happo-en was not known among the people except for garden fans. Last autumn the garden was renovated to make splendid night lightnings. As a result, the night illuminations began to attract the visitors with new naming of Tokyo Red Garden.

[@travelmurmur]

I think they didn't change the name of the garden! It's still Happo-en but the Tokyo Red Garden was an installation during the autumn season. I may be wrong, though! You are correct that it was renovated and still not very known, only amongst gardens fans ☺️

[@takashinishida9113]

​@@travelmurmur They didn't change the name itself. Tokyo Red Garden would be the name of autumn night illustration for attracting international visitors.

[@travelmurmur]

That's right ☺️ the garden is beautiful even without this installation! We'll visit it next time during the day!

[@BlueBerryPrinceStuff]

Gotokuji temple and the pokemon centers are on my must see list so it was nice seeing them in the same video!

[@travelmurmur]

Great choices 😉 Hope you have the best time in Japan!

[@jodiemills788]

Your voice really soothes my soul

[@travelmurmur]

It sure doesn't soothe mine 😂 thank you 💖

[@travelmurmur]

Thank you for subscribing! Welcome ❤️

[@yy2byyyy980]

Very well done and useful for me！

[@travelmurmur]

Glad it was helpful! 😊 Hope you have a wonderful trip!

[@LaurenJason]

Wow you guys did way more than we did in Tokyo! 😂 great travel guide and the hotel view from the blossom is amazing!

[@travelmurmur]

Honestly didn't feel like we did enough 😛 yeah, the view from that hotel is incredible! ❤️

[@susanlo3411]

Could you share the name of the hotel that you both stay in Tokyo ?

[@travelmurmur]

@@susanlo3411 hi! Which one? Both of the hotel names are included in the video!

[@susanlo3411]

@@travelmurmur noted. Let me watch the video one more time hahahahaah thanks

[@travelmurmur]

Haha let me know if you need more information about the hotel you're asking about! I assume it's The Blossom Hibiya Hotel Tokyo with the amazing views ☺️

[@ebitai46]

Great Video🎉✨

[@travelmurmur]

Thank you ❤️

[@memetecanacional]

I liked your guide a lot! Quick question, when did you visit? Looks like fall season, asking because Ím going this october/november and I saw it was raining in some of your clips

[@travelmurmur]

We did go in November, yes ☺️ it rained just a bit one morning! Don't worry too much!

[@mjraarssen]

i m going to Japan/Tokyo on the 20th of August staying in the same hotel Hibiya Blossom so cool I've watched your video,

[@travelmurmur]

Ah, amazing! Hope you have the best time! So many summer festivals happening! And sorry you were spoiled in the video but you're going to love the view from the hotel! 😊

[@carolsteely6944]

How important is it to be able to read the language in order to get around? Or will speaking general words be enough?

[@travelmurmur]

Google Maps and Google Translate are your best friends! You'll get around and communicate really easily if you use both (in Japan and anywhere else!)

[@frankiechiuh3401]

More places you can visit in your next visit, apart from Tokyo Disneyland, there are: 1. Odaiba 2. Harajuku 3. Ameyoko (Ueno) 4. Tokyo Tower 5. Tokyo Skytree 6. Shinjuku Kabukicho 7. Roppongi Hills 8. Miyashita Park, Shibuya 9. Toyosu Fish Market 10. Don Quijote 11. Ashikaga Flower Park (slightly outside Tokyo City) 12. Yokohama

[@travelmurmur]

We featured Harajuku in this video ☺️ We wanted to go to the Fish Market but it was closed when we were there! And we went to DonQui a lot but didn't film ☺️ Thanks for the rest of the recommendations, we'll check them all out next time (except for the Disneyland, that's not really our thing!)

[@JanineAlexander-tz5pq]

I'm sold on number 1. 💚🌱

[@travelmurmur]

Great taste 🍜 I think a few people disagree 😆

[@vagueconcept19]

Dani would've bought out the whole Pokémon shop if he could :3 Tokyo is amazing!

[@travelmurmur]

He really would 😂 and yeah, it's such an amazing city!

[@lucaevangelisti5132]

Visit also the new Toranomon Hills Station (especially the T-market) and the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. If you come in Tokyo in 2024, you must to visit the new Azabudai Hills (which has buildings with very original architecture, which also has plenty of green spaces with, among other things, lots of fruit trees on the roofs which are accessible and also with the famous teamLab Borderless which will reopen in this complex in January 2024 and also lots of new stores and shopping centers as well as works of art and even a new shrine)

[@travelmurmur]

Thank you for your recommendations! 😊

[@juliaedmiston2771]

what time of year were you there?

[@travelmurmur]

November 🍁🍂

[@reinaldocascante5721]

what’s the street where you saw the masks and art exhibition???

[@travelmurmur]

It was on Aogiri Dori but it was a pop-up so it's probably no longer there!

[@deepdivemusicreactions]

which hotel you stayed at?

[@travelmurmur]

We mention both hotels we stayed in Tokyo in the video but the first one was Karaksa Hotel TOKYO STATION (the breakfast here is awful) and The Blossom Hibiya (perfection).

豪徳寺に祭られてる猫様達はその昔、米を主食としていた日本人の家庭に1匹に１つは必要だった風習が有ります。それは害獣（ネズミ）やコメ食い虫とその他　厄除けにも当時有効だったのです。 それに時には人をおもてなし、人の相手もしてお茶の休憩所や猫と戯れたい時の目印だったのです。そして役目を終えて天の虹🌈を渡った時にこの神社に像は返納されて祀られるのです。お二人とも良い場所に行かれてみてて和みました。 ありがとうございました👍

[@travelmurmur]

コメントありがとうございます！ 豪徳寺はとても特別な場所です。 私たちはそこを訪れるのが大好きでした。 お寺のお話について詳しく教えていただきありがとうございます！

[@travel-hobby-japan]

焼肉レストランで食べているのは、ナベの様な、すき焼きの様な、日本人の私も初めて見ました。春菊は少し苦味がありますが、肉と一緒に食べるとすごく美味しいです！

[@travelmurmur]

食べ物は素晴らしかったです！ 菊の付け合わせがお肉によく合って美味しかったです！ ☺️ ご覧いただきありがとうございます！

[@TomLowdermilk-yn8wu]

I really try tourist spots (except for Meiji Shrine). Strangely enough, at the Henri Matisse exhibit in Ueno yesterday I saw ZERO foreigners. Anyway, I like Kameido, Monzen Nakacho, Yasaka Ginza and Mitaka ....

[@travelmurmur]

Thanks so much for the recs! Have added those to our list!

[@nashng2296]

where is the location for that Line creator place 13:47
