10 FREE Tokyo hidden gems in 10 minutes

[@RickyLi]

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

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Awesome stuff! We are probably going for our second time in April. My wife is Japanese which helps but she hasn’t lived in Tokyo for decades so good to see lists like this. Thanks as ever.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

You’re welcome! Enjoy your time in Japan!

[@nagzi20]

I've been watching your videos for a little while now, and I have to say your videos are consistently getting better and better. Really high quality videos.

[@000T00b]

Great tips on new places to visit. Your video quality/production/editing also stands *well* above others I've been viewing the past few months. Keep it up.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@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 :)

[@andryrakotomalala]

HANNAH!! This is amazing!! Thanks so much for putting this together! I'll be in Tokyo in 2 weeks and we'll have to add some of these to our lists :)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you Andry :) I really appreciate the support.

[@andryrakotomalala]

Currently Hannah Your welcome friend :) Always happy to support great content 😃

[@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)

[@theluxuryvagabond]

Your video was recommended after I watched like 15 videos on Tokyo. This is BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN. Very artistic and really makes me look forward to my trip in July. Subscribed immediately. :) Now to start watching all your other content I have missed...it's going to be a late night! haha

[@roxaslover1693]

This video has really good production and editing! It was pleasing to watch!

[@arnaudlai]

Clean shots, great edit, well paired music. Love it!! 🎉 thanks Hannah!

[@st5338]

Your videos are becoming more like works of art. As soon as I tune in, I feel as though I'm watching a really cool movie. 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

[@ElenaEnchanted]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@joits]

Going in less than two months and this video could not have come at a better time! i can't wait to check out some new spots in Tokyo! Also your editing is so good!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha good timing indeed! Happy planning!

[@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.

[@ggauche3465]

Another great video - chock full of interesting little bits. You really work hard and deliver in your vids.

[@radhizahid9734]

this video is very well put together! it deserve more views

[@rolanderfe6333]

Awesome work Hannah, it's Amazing how much work is involve to make a 10 min video😊.

[@jaredcwhite]

Fantastic production value, and such beautiful settings. Thanks for the great insight into Tokyo's tucked away spots!

[@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.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Brilliant video Hannah! Thank you for the tips 😁

[@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 :)

[@izraa24]

I'd say Tokyo University is another hidden gem.. the place was totally awesome. beautiful buildings, awesome environment.. there are like tons of instagram worthy places. There is this one "hidden" park called Sanshiro Pond, it was so beautiful. I went there during winter and got to watch kendo training in one of their training halls beside a soccer field. and you can find the statue of Hachiko and its owner Hidesaburo (a lecturer in one of Tokyo Uni campuses).. tourist definitely wont put a university in their tour list.. haha

[@yvonybabor4748]

can we go inside tokyo university?

[@izraa24]

Yvony Babor of course we can.. the campus i mean.. the only place we cant go in, are their classes

[@BigRick50]

Great video, yet again! Going back to Tokyo for the 4th time soon. Great suggestions. Thanks Hannah.

[@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

[@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! :)

[@lucia.marcin]

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

[@aliendaisy79]

Loved the out takes reel at the end and a awesome video to boot :)

[@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.

[@MotoMunchiess]

Amazing video! Filming and editing is on point!

[@masakic_vision]

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

[@CurrentlyHannah]

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

[@loveleecrafts7150]

First time I have watch one of your clips, just loved, very down to earth, so refreshing to watch. Looking forward to your next one.

[@Natusferatus]

Your videos are so inspiring, love the editing and the captions of diferent places!! Greetings from Chile, south america 😊😊😊😊😊

[@TheTotoroLover]

Leaving for tokyo tommorow and this video is absolutely beautiful! thankyou for sharing your knowledge, will definitely visit these places

[@xUnikronx]

You never let me down Hannah, really appreciate these vids!

[@tammi6771]

Your videos are a work of art! Always so amazing! Thanks for the hidden gems

[@pilfernandez6748]

Aaaaaaa- mazing!!!. I really love everything. The places, the tips, the editing, the fun, all.

[@frankcosgrove9958]

Excellent, going on Sat can’t wait to check it out

[@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!

[@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

[@tailstraveladventures79]

Love this video! Well made and great info. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Yukio_Edson]

Hi,I’m Brazilian living in Nagoya area. I was in Shimokitazawa last month for one day only, to watch a J-Rock live. It was my first time in Tokyo. I love ❤️ your Tokyo’s tips. Thank you 😊

[@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! 😁

[@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!!!!

[@kineko7823]

- Omoide Yokocho Shinjuku maybe also interesting: Golden Gai - Shimokitazawa, good for interesting, cheap shopping - Omotesando Hills, Cat Street & Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo -> beautiful architecture - Yanaka Ginza (old school part of Tokyo) - Nezu Shrine (similar to the most famous Shrine in Kyoto) - Piwang Kochijoji (lots of Izakayas), very local place You're welcome.

[@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🇦🇺

[@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!

[@SimpleplansbyD]

this is so awesome. been looking for places where its not touristy in tokyo. thanks for sharing! ü

[@JamieTK]

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

[@neildavidparks9846]

Loved the awkwardness in this video. It’s good to be reminded of the reality that we’re not the only ones like that (every once in a while). Also, 4:06, everyone, don’t look down!

[@plauditecives]

What in the world does that mean? Wow, strange interpretation.

[@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 :)

[@puppooseman2118]

Hi Hannah Your videos are both very informative and professional. Because of your videos my wife and I are planning a trip there in May with our kids. T & T from Brisbane!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Wow I’m so happy to hear that! Looks like Japan tourism owes me money hahaha

[@puppooseman2118]

You done alot for Japanese Tourism for sure ! I bought my wife a Sony mirrorless because she loves your photography, Im just amazed with your editing skills. Keep up the great work. T & T from Brisbane

[@illphysh]

Beautiful video and excellent editing! Thanks for the tips!

[@benndoverr5233]

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. 👍❤👍

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Benn!

[@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

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

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

[@vellikulho]

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

[@fawn6]

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

ooooft that slowmo got me feelin the moods 😍

[@tekwoj]

Thank You for making my day better with this video.

[@joshkrupa8758]

Seriously this is cool.. was just in Tokyo mid November for the first time and visited some of these locations without knowing what they were. We actually walked down cat street. Neat to see some places that we visited in a video other than mine.

[@severone_ichi]

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

[@BjornPennenburg]

1. I visited the Torii’s in Tokyo that you showed, and golden gai and that place that you called yanaka Ginza, but 2. I know that place as nippori and not as yanaka Ginza 3. Y U SHOW THIS VIDEO A WEEK AFTER I VISITED TOKYO. aaaargh, i could have visited those places :( Me: yeah, I visited whole Tokyo city, I’ve seen everything You: hold my beer.... 4. Great video again, great edits and I like seeing Jess in your vids, you two have a great chemistry.

[@pitzbull81]

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

[@srowe829]

Another awesome video From the Queen....Thanks for sharing.

[@seemon9938]

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

[@fadiladisma7500]

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

[@StMyles]

Very well done. Artistic and informative. Thanks for Sharing Hannah.

[@andrewarcher3924]

Loved the ending it's like a making of at the end and all the locals staring at you. They are probably scared that you are going to ruin their quiet locals spots with you 100k followers :)

[@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!

[@gregcromie9939]

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

[@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?

[@kungfool69]

AWESOME VIDEO :D super handy hints for my next trip! We are hoping to get back to Japan in Nov this year (last nov we had such a great time but still feel we missed so much!). Also, if we ever bump into u in Tokyo, I will certainly give u a "WOW" Owen Wilson style ;)

[@waynekruse205]

A nice city view can be had by taking a walk over the top of the Rainbow Bridge. There is a free walk / cycle way all the way across.

[@kjdep464]

Excellent video Hannah - we love Yanaka Ginza too!

[@MrTM4]

I love to spend time at Jiyugaoka and Kichijoji area when in Tokyo. Also very nice cafes and spots to make great photos. Got to know few locals out on streets there too. Quite social people in these areas. 😁😁😊

Team crispy has a nice ring to it!

[@kylieknight8847]

Great locations Hannah. I’ve been to all except golden Gai. My fav one was shmakitazawa. The light there was amazing and the fashion people wore was awesome 😊 I went to Shinjuku I think and the streets behind tower records was very interesting. Lots of trendy fashion, people and stores and so many dogs and dog friendly cafes 😆

[@glennaleonhart]

Love your videos! 😍😍

[@TheWorldnUs]

I think I’ve said this before but I wish I’d found your channel before our previous trips to Japan. Oh well, we’ll just have to make another trip there.

Haha well if I did a good enough job then they might not be hidden for too long haha
