This more or less unedited adventure captures the rollercoaster of emotions that come with solo travel. We'll wander through some of Tokyo's most popular areas, soaking up the sights and sounds along the way. There are moments of pure elation, but also the inevitable frustrations and challenges to overcome that make travel such a wild ride.

This episodes starts with me landing in Tokyo's Narita Airport, my first time ever in Japan! I then take the Skyliner bullet train over to Ueno station where my hostel is closely located to. After checking out my capsule hotel I head out for my first bowl of Ramen.
Day two began with me heading to breakfast at the local 7-Eleven convenience store. Following that, I took a stroll towards Akihabara Electric Town which I thought was incredible! The Namco Arcade was a highlight for me. During my time in Akihabara I noticed the annual Tokyo city marathon was taking place which was a sight to see.
It was then time to take the Tokyo metro to Tokyo central station in where I tried for at least 45 minutes to find the Imperial Palace. It took this long due to many subway exits being strictly controlled by police and not allowing the public through! Eventually I found it, walked around the beautiful Imperial Gardens before hitting a local cafe for a spot of lunch, pork katsu curry.
After lunch, I grabbed a coffee at Starbucks but not before I ran into a Tokyo pharmacy to pickup some cream for my hands. All ago towards the vibrant district of Shinjuku. I was elated walking around the streets of Shinjuku, truly a trendy cyberpunk vibe. I almost got tricked for the second time during the video at the currency exchange there but instead managed to find one that was quite a reasonable exchange rate! Later, I grabbed a quick bowl of soba noodles before getting back to my capsule hotel for a good night's rest.

店員さんが「我々にチップを渡すなら、お賽銭に使ってください」と言ってましたね。彼らは嬉しかったと思います。ですが私達はチップを貰うことに慣れていませんし、彼はみんなが平等に働いている中自分だけが貰うわけにいかないと考えたのかもしれません。だから彼は、自分1人にチップを渡されるよりも、神社や公共の場にあなたのお金が使われることを願ったんだと思います。

I traveled to Japan twice last year solo...Only ever been to Greece (twice) which was organised and sorted by late partner...I spent 3 weeks in Japan in Jan 23 and 2 weeks in late Nov early Dec...I stayed in Tokyo and then traveled as far south as Kagoshima..and stopped of at Kumamoto, Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto on my way back to Tokyo...I pretty much walked everywhere unless using the Shinkansen between stays...I dont speak a word of Japanese and had never booked a trip in my life. (56 in a few weeks)...I did use the trains abit more on the second trip...As I stayed in the Yokohama and Tokyo area. I loved Japan...And wish I could return...But I truly wish I could of had my late partner with me...She would have loved it also.

I admit when you arrived at your capsule room area, the first capsule you pointed at with your camera, I thought was a cupboard for your shoes! I am planning to visit Japan for the first time in March 2025. So I'm 100% sure I will have the same wide-eyed amazement about every single thing I see there. I am open to stay at a capsule hotel, maybe just one night of the 2 weeks or so that I intend to be in Japan. When I think of Japan; vending machines everywhere within reach, capsule hotels, huge network of trains and food/drink outlets as far as the eye can see.... I'm grateful to live vicariously through you in preparation for when it's my turn! 🎉

Hello, I just randomly ran across your channel because it popped up in recommendations and your thumbnail caught my eyes so I thought why not. I'm a Japanese guy used to live in Japan but now living in Vancouver, Canada for 30 years and I miss Japan a lot these days so I've been following many channels from Japan (both by Japanese and foreigners) and I just hit the sub button for yours as well but just noticed you are still brand new on the channel, am I right? Considering that, I think your video is quite good and impressive. You gave me an impression of having already hundreds of thousand subs but literally you are spanking new! LOL! Good on you. What I liked and enjoyed about this video was your genuine excitement and honest comments on what you felt and thought as you were walking through the streets in a foreign country. It is my home country so many things in the video is "normal" and is nothing out of ordinary stuff but it still also gave me the similar sense of excitement like you as I've been living outside Japan now for so long. It's nice to see the current Japan/Tokyo in details what's going on. What is also very interesting and a lot of times I thought it was funny, it made me chuckle with your honest and pure reactions/excitement and comments. It was nice to see your point of views with different details about certain things with Japanese people or some stuff (like signage or buildings...etc)because you are coming from the western world and I do understand the both sides now. There were so many times how much I wanted to be there inside of the camera to help you at certain points when you were struggling how to buy ramen or tickets for the ride to trains...etc. But you did quite well in the end and I'm glad many Japanese people tried to help you even though their English wasn't very good. It was a super enjoyable video watching the entire time and I could have watched even more. It took me back to the time when I was living in Tokyo (specifically in year 2005 when I was working in Tokyo for a year, going there from Vancouver, Canada but I ended up moving back to Canada afterwards as I couldn't take the stress working intensely in Japan all alone in a typical Japanese company....as you can imagine as a Japanese person! LOL!) It was also very nice to see you trying to respect the culture and people as much as you could. Oh and that reminded to tell you why perhaps many restaurants and businesses don't seem to appreciate cameras inside. This is my guess but I still believe there is some good reason to this, and what it is that recently there have been some terrible incidents by some foreign KZbinrs came to Japan and you probably heard about "Johnny Somali" guy from the US, and particularly he caused a lot of damage and upheaval to the KZbin business or to particularly to other foreign KZbinrs in Japan because of his unbelievably terrible behaviours during his stay in Japan which left a very bad taste and impression on foreigners or foreign KZbinrs with many Japanese people so unfortunately. (If this is the first time to hear about the guy, you can check many videos and articles talking about him when you Google his name.) So I think it has to do with that guy and some other similar crazy stupid KZbinrs caused the harm forever. So I do thank you for showing a lot of respect and just being descent nice pleasant foreign tourist during your visit in Japan. I wish you all the best and safe trip and I'm looking forward to watching your future videos. Please go back to Japan again to see more about my home country. Cheers!

The reason for the no picture/filming signs is due to Japan's extremely strict privacy laws. You're actually supposed to blur out faces unless you get each persons permission to show any representation of them on any media platform, including youtube. If they can be recognized in any way shape or form on any media without their consent, it is a violation of privacy laws, which is why a lot of shows in Japan, especially the NEWS, blur out most of what they're filming. For restaurants/stores, you're supposed to get permission to film inside. For receipts at stores, see the little box of receipts (e.g. at 7-11) below where the receipt pops out, put yours in there if you don't want it. You leaving it dangling in the 7-11 cash register is rude for the next person who has to deal with the receipt you left to get theirs. Money trays at the register, you put your money in the tray. Don't hand the money to their hand. If you see a tray, and there will always be a tray, use the tray. Tipping..., as a US expat, I love the fact there is no tipping culture here, especially now with how ridiculous it's gotten. Leave that garbage culture out of Japan. And yes, it is somewhat insulting to them since they're just doing their job. The idea might be different today, but tipping has a dark legacy.

Tip is not required in Japan.If a clerk receives a tip, the cashier's calculations after closing will be disrupted. Some people are reluctant to accept excessive amounts of money from customers. So there's no need to tip. It's nice for store staff to hear a heartfelt thank you from a customer.

Welcome to Japan! I LOVED your positive energy you gave through this trip... Although it is sad that some people gave you a frowned face. That's actually because you're filming strangers. In the ramen store you can notice that a lady next to you is giving uncomfortable vibe (the man next to her as well.) It is a little-known fact that PRIVACY is really important for Japanese people (they're shy, you know). Peolple hide their face with emojis even when they post their picture on X, avoid using their real names, and don't want to be on camera without permisson(including me). They won't tell you directly to stop filming because they know you're foreigner, and they don't want to sound rude. Keep in mind that privacy concerns are really different in this country, so I would advice all the foreigners planning to visit Japan to try avoiding random passengers' faces when you film!

If I had a trip to Tokyo that was a year long I’d walk to every street and I’d probably still be amazed

[@tokki_talks]

This fed my Japan addiction so much.... Thank you for the video!!! It was fun to watch you go on a journey throughout such a beautiful country! It was also funny to see people strike a pose when they noticed you're unintentionally filming them, that was the cherry on top for me lol!

Hello, I am glad you enjoyed Japan. Tokyo is now visited by many foreigners. We Japanese are not very good at English. However, we like to interact with foreigners. I am proud of Japan to see your excitement in Tokyo. I hope you will continue to love Japan.

The first ticket machine you used at Akihabara station is for Shinkansen only.

Hi, I'm a Japanese who comment this video yesterday. I'm now at Starbucks Coffee where you used! It was a coincidence cuz the test IELTS is hold near the shop. So I had to go there near the shop. I'm been surprised when I realize the place is same like I'm in the KZbin video. I just watched this video yesterday.
