Ginza Tokyo Travel Guide 🇯🇵 Best Yakitori in Tokyo, Shopping in Ginza Japan, Ginza Six, Mitsukoshi

[@varno23]

Hey Ralph & Sam, just wanted to thank you for all your great Tokyo travel vlogs! It was thanks to your last Ginza video that I got to enjoy and explore New Torigin and Ginza 6 (and of course a bunch of other locations too from all your other videos haha)! Whenever you next find yourselves back in Tokyo, I highly highly recommend the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum for photos and for architecture (the park is also excellent during cherry blossom season). I also recommend Giraffe Ties in Sendagaya if either of you are ever interested in quirky ties or bow ties!

[@RalphSam]

Always so happy to hear people give New Torigin a chance 🍢 And thank you for the recs! We find ourselves back in Tokyo quite often, so we're always looking for things to do. Giraffe ties and the Edo Open Air Museum sound fantastic 😊

3:45 Ralph looks so handsome without his glasses. He goes from looking all chic to GQ 15:10 The photographer for the ping pong table spent 5 years taking a picture of that table and no one ever used it for its purpose but everything else! I smiled for 23 minutes. Thank you for giving me this video to start the week. I feel refreshed!

[@RalphSam]

Im the one who feels refreshed. Thanks for being so sweet zennoodle! -Ralph

What's the title of the Ping Pong Photo book?

[@RalphSam]

@AlFirous i think it's TTP by Hayahisa Tomiyasu ✌🏻

Hey there! Just recently discovered your channel. Loving the content. Such a cute fashionable couple. I am learning so much. I hope to be able to visit Japan about this time next year. So many great ideas. All of your Flea Market videos make me drool. Please keep it up. Thank you!

[@RalphSam]

That makes us so happy to hear! Cheers! 🍻

[@clementine474]

Thanks for this! Miss Japan. Just came from a solo vacay last month and stayed in the Ginza area.

[@RalphSam]

Nice! Do you recommend staying there? We always consider it but haven't had the chance yet 😊

[@clementine474]

@@RalphSam I stayed in a hotel behind Ginza 6 for 2 nights then switched neighborhoods. I think its ok for several nights but not the whole trip. Very quiet area, and interesting to see neighborhood places in such an urban sprawl.

[@RalphSam]

thanks for letting us know. we have yet to see that neighborhood-y side of ginza ourselves. we always end up only in the main shopping street. might need to explore more next time we go.

[@miami5am]

I looked twice at your first breakfast choice (Onigiri & 2 Onsen Eggs)! I will try that! Someday I hit a lottery ticket and go shopping spree in Ginza!!! Someday, someday, someday...

[@RalphSam]

Yes the onsen eggs are my new thing! The cool thing about konbini breakfast is the hundreds of combinations available 🥚🥚🥚

from your past videos, I suggested my friends and I visit the Torigun restaurant on our recent Tokyo trip. we loved it. another Ginza surprise for us was Manneken LMAO!

[@RalphSam]

That's so cool to hear 🙌🏻 We still have to try Manneken ourselves haha

[@hellshire11]

i hope i can go to Japan as often as you guys 😢

[@RalphSam]

here's hoping you get to visit soon ✌🏻

[@minwa161]

Thank you for this video! So helpful! ❤At 19:30 you include a place dedicated to dessert shops - what is it called 😊 Is that ‘Baum Kitchen’ from the shot before it? Or are they 2 different places?

[@RalphSam]

You can find it at 'Pudding Lab' on Google Maps. Very close to New Torigin. 🍦

22:59 I definitely have missed it but where is Ralph’s favourite scone from?! Looks sooo good I need to bookmark this for my next Japan trip!

Hi!! You actually inspired me to get a film cam. Actually looking to upgrade my current kodak ektar. For beginners, what film cam should I look into. Thanks 💜

[@RalphSam]

Thank you! I like my Olympus mju ii. I started out with the Yashica T series film cameras too. And I always use Kodak Portra. Enjoy!

[@poppukon-au]

Dover street is a dream

[@RalphSam]

always inspiring 🤍

[@meluvcats]

Dover Street Market is always a must-go for me just purely to check out what amazing fashion the floor staff will be wearing. Did you guys happen to stop by GU which is next to Uniqlo?

[@RalphSam]

One of our main reasons for visiting is to see what the staff are wearing. Didn't get to GU this time, so many people!

[@Chrisb8s]

Very nice

[@RalphSam]

thank you!

What would I search for, for the ginza custard soft serve place?

[@saberkite]

How do you go about filming inside the shops and restos/cafes? Do you let them know that you'll be taking videos?

[@RalphSam]

We usually ask the server or shop person if it's okay. If they decline we don't include it in our video ✌🏻

[@littlebigkicker]

Nice video

[@RalphSam]

thank you!

[@ChillStudyDate]

when did you guys start vloging with the pocket 3??

[@RalphSam]

right after we bought it in the akihabara vlog 😊 we mix it with our phone footage, but you can see pocket 3 footage in our kichijoji, ginza and mount takao vlogs.

[@sophielilley9988]

what month is this video? love the vlogs

[@RalphSam]

thank you! this trip was in june 😊

[@jemmah1800]

As a Brit that scone slice nearly gave me a heart attack, but nevertheless enjoying the series as always 😊 using all your recommendations to plan my next trip.

[@RalphSam]

to be honest, we never knew it was meant to be cut that way until we read the comments 😂😂 you learn something every day! thanks for watching 🤍

[@cjfs3060]

Do you need reservations at new torigin? Ty

[@RalphSam]

We usually go close to opening time at night and so far we haven't needed to make a reservation.

[@paddingtonvg]

Great video, im not a huge fan of ginza but this video has gone someway to changing my mind. Also, what did Ralph do to that Scone?!? You cut it horizontally like a bagel not vertically down the middle 😮😂

[@RalphSam]

Oh no, sorry, scone! Thanks for the tip, I did not know that

[@WilsonWu-c6j]

What time did you arrive to Bongen Coffee? I would like to visit but afraid the long queue

[@RalphSam]

we went around lunch time. i think there is always a queue though. usually even longer when there is no rain 😅

[@mellijelli30]

If you had to pick, Ginza or Harajuku for shopping?

[@RalphSam]

Ginza is very upscale, more luxury brands and big flagship branches of stores like Uniqlo and Muji. Harajuku is more trendy and favors a younger crowd. We personally shop more in Ura Harajuku/Omotesando 😊 You can check our vlog on it for the the kinds of shops they have ✌🏻
