Thanks to Magic for sponsoring today's video!
Today we have a two-night layover in one of the world's most exciting cities: Tokyo, Japan😍🇯🇵 We got to spend a full day exploring and experiencing this city that we've been to before, but that we haven't really explored past the surface.
What's more? The day was planned for us by an AI🤖😮

We’re Oskar🧔🏻 and Dan👱🏻‍♂️, and we believe that anyone regardless of who they are deserves to live their dreams! For the past nine years, we’ve continued pushing boundaries by traveling and living all across the world, including places like Uganda, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia. In 2022, we reached a huge milestone by visiting 100 countries and we’re now on a mission to keep sharing our journey and hopefully making the world a little more open, compassionate, and peaceful along the way❤️

Japan was country 38🌍 (First visited in 2018)
In this video, we start the day at our hotel in Ginza. We walk over to the Hamarikyu Gardens where we enjoy a matcha tea ceremony on the lake with traditional Japanese confectionery. From there, we continue through Little Italy and the countless convenience stores to a traditional ramen restaurant called Tokyo Ramen Tower. We then explore the Zojo-ji Temple before catching the metro to Shimo-Kitazawa, where we go shopping for vintage clothing. To cap off the day, we head to Shinjuku station and walk from there through Harajuku down to the world-famous Shibuya crossing. Such a fabulous day!
Thank you for watching!🙏😍

I've been to Japan 12 times (3 times this year) and I still think about it every day. You can never get bored of Japan!

[@paypay7362]

You have respect Japanese cultures❤ Arigatooo

[@dankesan2007]

12 times! You should definitely live in Japan!

[@stj53]

I've only visited once, but I think Japan is the most interesting country on earth.

[@asuranrocks]

so true

[@riekoide4121]

Thank you very much from Japanese. And yours Country. There are not County without Hisotry.

[@alexsakon]

from a japanese person, let me teach you the proper way to eat natto because you two are doing it all wrong. you have to get the sauce and mustard that should've come with it. the sauce is sometimes plain soy sauce or it could be soy sauce with dashi. you first have to mix it pretty well until it has a constant consistency, THEN you add your mustard and the sauce and further mix it. then you put some over rice and eat it. it wouldn't taste right at all the way you two ate it, without mixing, without sauce/mustard, and nobody eats natto on it's own, it's something that needs to be eaten with with rice.

[@Johannes--evangelium736]

納豆ってそのまま食べません？！ 地域によって食べ方違うんですかね？ 僕の周りだと、ご飯なしで納豆食べる事は多いです。

[@nonenone2622]

納豆の食い方くらいで偉そうにw

[@akanekein0394]

確かに、醤油とかネギとか時にはキムチとか卵の黄身とか人によって好みがあるけどそういった物を混ぜた納豆をぜひ食して頂きたい〜と私も思った。英語なので偉そうな言い回しになっているのかわからないけど私も同じ様に思った。

[@kc3302]

I only got back yesterday from a month in Japan. Everything about the place is amazing. Don't forget to do some of the smaller cities/towns as each one has something to offer. I'm glad you figured out there are multiple train companies in Tokyo, something which confuses most people!

[@user-pw4du9ox4z]

I enjoyed this video. Natto is first stirred well, then the sauce or soy sauce in the box is added and stirred further before eating. The beans themselves have no flavour, but the combination with the sauce, soy sauce or mustard makes them tasty. It is sad that many people don't know the correct way to eat them and dislike them. I love natto.

[@user-eg2rg5gz8k]

The way I like natto is by adding the hot mustard that's provided in the packet. It makes the weirdness go away or numbs it but at least natto is healthy!

[@fujigoko007]

In spring, go to Tokyo for cherry blossoms. In the summer, go to Okinawa, where you can see coral reefs. In autumn, go to Kyoto and Nara for the autumn leaves and temples. In winter, head to the ski resorts of Niseko and Hakuba.

[@MattNav]

Just two more weeks until I finally get to return to Japan myself 😁 I cannot wait! Visiting Hokkaido, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka and the lakes around Mt Fuji over a 10 day period 😎

[@OskarandDan]

Epic!!!

[@wehojm7320]

I thoroughly enjoyed your whirlwind tour of Tokyo. All the food you had looked so delicious it made me want some ramen. Looking forward to your next destination.

[@andreacarboni6215]

You can't go wrong with Japan-related content!

[@giannishen]

The Tokyo subway is supposed to drive me crazy, but the desserts there are supposed to make me happy! Thank you for taking me on a trip to such a strange country, super great job! 👍🥰🙏

[@alexsakon]

so that "tofu" pudding you found at family mart, it's called Annin tofu but it's not really tofu at all. there's no soy beans, but it's a chinese dessert also known as Amond jelly, so if you go to a chinese restaurant (even in the US, not sure about Sweden) you can probably find it. if you go to a chinese restaurant in japan it's almost always available as a dessert item. if you got to a big supermarket in japan you also would be able to find it.

[@TheWhore2culture]

Hey Boys! Your content has always been first class,but,as a long time subscriber, I have to say the new vibe is just perfect & though all your pro-Japan vids have helped make it look extremely appealing, including this most recent one. I am finally arranging a trip for next year,with a friend of mine who is a photographer,; I'm fascinated by ancient history & anomalies - something that this country which seems so futuristic, is actually full of - so he's going to make a film & I will share the narration/presentation with his son. It's such a pleasure to see the two of you looking so well,relaxed & enjoying each others company,long may it last. As ever,very best wishes to you&yours💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤️💯🙏👋⭐️'s💯✌️

[@marcusliang6238]

納豆は醤油かタレ、お好みで薬味等を少し足して混ぜてから食べるものですよ。 臭いがしない納豆もあるので、機会があれば是非試してみてください。

[@WorldTrotterHereandBeyond]

Thanks for sharing!

[@DENTYUcord]

As a Japanese, I was relieved and happy to see a video of a foreign KZbinr enjoying Japan in a normal way, but I am puzzled by such a self. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed.

[@lily7510]

Welcome to Japan! You should stir natto before eating and it will taste better ;) The tofu pudding is originally from China FYI. Anyways, nice to see you guys were happy 😃

[@a-un7952]

You should have natto with soy sauce flavored with “dashi”. Japanese don’t have natto with no sauce.

[@missn2410]

Yes, but dashi isn’t vegan, that’s probably why they didn’t eat it

[@user-ct1yi9bd4t]

日本🇯🇵を楽しんでもらってありがとうございます^ ^ なっとうはタレを入れてから50回は混ぜてください。グルタミン酸が出るし旨みも出ます。何も混ぜないまま食べるのはあり得ません。その食べ方はまちがっていますよ。そしてそれを温かいご飯の上にのせて食べるのがおいしいです😊

[@ayapinkbug]

Thank you for your great video and visiting Japan. I’ve been working in Tokyo more than 10 years and my office is right across from Hamarikyu Garden that I have never been to…😂 I will stop by there for a break next time when I go to the office.

Love your videos and travel suggestions. I’ll have to try Magic on my trip to Reykjavik. How do both stay so in shape when you are always traveling? Do you go to a gym in every new location? Or is it because you’re always on the go walking miles and miles in each city?

It's a combination of all the walking and prioritizing booking hotels with gyms :)

I guess you didn't eat Natto in the proper way... you should put attached sauce and mastered in it, and need mix them until stickness increased, then eat them with white rice!

Not getting an IC Card the second you land is absolutely crazy to me, I would not want to bother with single tickets. Also: Did Oscar loose his old one (cause they stay active as long as you use them like once a decade) you could have also used your card from Osaka or Kyoto, its quite the flex using a rare IC, especially if youre obviously not Japanese!
