Japanese Shopping Mall Tour - ARIO MALL in KAMEARI, TOKYO | JAPANESE STORE TOURS

Have you ever wondered what a Japanese shopping mall looks like inside? Well, this video will show you exactly that! This is a full walking tour inside of ARIO Mall, located in Kameari, Tokyo!
Come and see the stores, the layout, and the general vibe of a Japanese shopping mall. As stated at the beginning of the video, it's more or less the same as any modern shopping mall that you can find in many countries.
I apologize that I didn't go into many stores and start looking at all kinds of products. This type of tour isn't ideal for that. This tour is more to give you a sense of what the mall looks like and feels like as you walk around it.
In the arcade center, we can see Kankichi Ryotsu, the main character, of the famous manga "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo." (This is the Police Station in Front of Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward) The English manga title is "KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops."

Hello everyone! I'm looking forward to watching this premiere with you all in the live chat. If you missed the premiere but still enjoyed this tour, let me know what was interesting to you in the comments below! What questions do you have? What would you like to see next? Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

The more & more I've watched your VDOs filmed in Japan, the more I've craved for Japan... Wishing it would lift the travel restrictions very soon. Can't hardly to wait to go there.

[@CoryMay81]

I hope the travel ban on tourists is lifted soon too. It's been 2 years now, which is too long. Thanks for watching!

[@sharonkline6515]

Everything looks very clean and neat. I would love to shop there.

[@mercedeslucin9762]

What stood out to me was how neat and organized the toy isles were. Here in America, it’s almost always disorganized and dirty. People have no respect for others and think “just because it’s their job” that they don’t have to clean up after themselves or their kids, but in Japan they are taught at such a young age to pick up after themselves and respect others. I love that.

[@CoryMay81]

Yes, I remember going to Toys R Us or even just the toy aisles in Walmart and stuff was just strewn about everywhere and you'd find toys far away in other sections of the store. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@gracestrand393]

Really enjoyed this Cory! Don’t really enjoy malls here in the States because it’s always the same stores everywhere you go. But I would enjoy exploring this one. Love all the variety!

[@CoryMay81]

Thank you for watching, Grace! ^^

[@KitsuneHB]

The same here in Germany - always the same boring stores: H&M, Primark, New Yorker or C&A for clothes, Depot or Butler for home decorating, Nanu Nana for cheap stuff, Thalia for books, Hussel for sweets, Game Stop for video games, Intersport for sports wear, dm, Rossmann, Douglas or Müller for cosmetics and perfumes, Media Markt or Saturn for tech stuff, Nordsee, McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks and at least one Döner "restaurant" for food. Booooooooooring. But it's nice to see what malls are offering in other countries.

[@peterjabattack1]

I've seen a lot of mall tour videos on youtube..this is the most naturally comprehensive one I've seen.

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks, Peter! Glad you could enjoy it. You already know my style, just walking and talking and trying to show as much as possible. See you in the next live stream or premiere!

[@brinicole2999]

I'm such a sucker for seeing shops in other countries I've yet to visit lol. I always wonder what things look like that most people don't even think of. I can't wait for this video 😄🙃

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks for hanging out during the premiere! And stay tuned for more tour videos!

[@AuntyM66]

Hi Cory I love your tours. I always watch when I am having a bath. We the UK say lollipops not suckers😊 I cannot believe that poster in the children’s section.😮

[@samtron5000]

I lived in kameari for almost 10 years and lived in a mansion just down the street from ario. I went there almost daily to buy groceries and just hang out, get out of the house with my kids. Surprisingly many of the stores are the same but the big buffet in the restaurant area was actually where saizeria is now. Moved away from Japan in late 2016 so this was really cool and natsukashii for me. I could recall where everything was still. Thanks for the video.

[@CoryMay81]

Wow, that's cool! Kameari is definitely a nice place to live with great access to Tokyo without being super crowded. Glad you could revisit the mall in this video! In the description box is a link to another walking video around the Kameari area, if you wish to watch that as well. That was filmed in 2019. Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@RobertJWood-vn1zl]

Kameari was the first place I lived in Japan in 2007. Cool to be able to see it again!

[@CoryMay81]

Wow, that's awesome to know! Anything you'd like to see in particular again? I could swing by and maybe make a walking video or something.

[@WarmMukwa]

The spring colors were nice to see

[@CoryMay81]

Yeah! Thanks for watching, Amy!

[@KateyYing]

Thank you for uploading these videos❤️❤️ ive learned so much about japan because of you💖 i wish i would stop missing your streams😭😭

[@CoryMay81]

Awww I'm sorry. We miss seein ya in the live chat. I'll be filming more non-live stream videos from now and have already set a schedule for filming and uploading, so stay tuned for more content!

[@LauraSimbel]

This was super fun to watch Cory i had a great time! And yes malls here at Portugal looks similar too and of course we also got elderly taking naps there 😂 its international! Ahah thank you for filming this, cant wait to see more!

[@CoryMay81]

Hahahaha it is an international phenomenon! Interesting to know, though. I hope to visit Portugal in the future. I think it's maybe #1 on my list for when I travel to Europe. In that case, I'll have to ask you for some tips and drop by to say hi to you! Thanks for watching! See you in Discord~

[@Rebecca-pv7iq]

yes I got COVID n I'm going to a mall out of states I'm so excited like I get to go to a mall don't have any around where I live

[@schonfan]

Loved it! What a great treat in the middle of a stressful work week!,The Tower Records outlet....None in the US anymore.SO Clean!! I would love to visit there one day! Aloha Cory! Stay Moist!

[@CoryMay81]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Schon! Keep it moist! Aloha!

[@Irvysan]

The elderly people having a nap at the cinema cracked me up 😂

[@CoryMay81]

hehehehe Kind of funny to see elderly always napping at malls, no matter what country I go to.

[@RedShadowKick]

Hi Cory! New subscriber here! Glad to have found you. This video was great, thank you! I've watched a few different walking around Japan type videos but most don't explain much about certain locations and such. Appreciate the information you offered here!

[@CoryMay81]

Howdy and welcome! Thanks for subbing! Yeah, there are quite a lot of people doing to walking videos without talking at all. Sure, they look great and show Japan, but there's like zero information or cultural relevance, etc. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy all of my past and future content! See you in the next video~

[@paperwormscat9760]

Can you make a full Party Rico store tour someday? It looked like such a cute and interesting store.

[@lorinaka970]

That was a GOOD mall tour! Thank you. 👍🏻

[@CoryMay81]

Thank you for watching and enjoying it!

[@cranberry9035]

Thank you for making a store tour video. I missed them 😊

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome! ^^

Welcome sir. Your blogs is amazing.

[@amymudge1290]

It’s cool fidget my students love them

[@CoryMay81]

Oh, the fidget spinners? Yeah, kids love them so much. hehehe

[@YuHelene]

It is the most informative mall tour that I have ever seen here on KZbin! Love it, thank you. And I like very much the aesthetics of the mall and the culture code that is spread there. One thing that I admire is the navigation - the blue color so bright, very focused on the way like road sign. Wish one day to be there soon! Thank you!

[@CoryMay81]

hahaha Thanks Aliona! Glad you enjoyed the thorough tour! Stay tuned for more store tours and mall tours and other types of tours! Cheers!

[@YuHelene]

@@CoryMay81 if you are interested about the shopping mall life in my country. Please check my account, the last one episode is about the market of local designers 😉

[@gohjoanne82]

Love this video and enjoyed together with my mum and sis .. they love it too 😍😍

[@CoryMay81]

Glad you all enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more tours each week!

[@gray4robot]

Thank you for the video. I may make a stop here on my upcoming trip to Japan.

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome! If you come to Kameari, I'd say only do it to see the Kochikame manga stuff. The mall itself isn't so great. You're better off going to LaLaPort malls or other areas. Thanks for watching!

[@marcadriolo8200]

Thanks for choing us the mall👍

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@masahira8084]

I was enjoying nice vibe with you like as in Japan from US. Thank you 🙏 amazing Kameari

[@CoryMay81]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching~

[@angyhurtado]

Awesome tour! Thank you. I can't wait to see more videos and adventure places.

[@CoryMay81]

Yay! Thank you for watching! Stay tuned!

[@BatManfamilyinJapan285]

This is great tour mall I never saw before, even I live in Japan.

[@CoryMay81]

Oh, thank you for watching!

[@jeremyvitiello]

Hi Cory! Fellow Marylander here! Thanks for the Arundel Mills shout out lol! Great vid...Hopefully my wife and I can get back to Japan soon! Just subscribed to your channel!

[@CoryMay81]

Ayyyyyy thank you so much! And yeah, I remember visiting Arundel Mills mall many years ago. Then there was a shooting there one time too. Sad. Thanks for watching, commenting, and subbing!

[@wryterzblock]

Super thrilled to see another store tour video since it's how I discovered you in the first place. Thank you!

[@CoryMay81]

Super cool! Yeah, sorry it has been awhile since the last store tour video. This isn't really a store tour, but does have some stores featured in it. Anyway, trying to get back into the grove of filming and uploading regularly. Stay tuned for more!

[@wryterzblock]

@@CoryMay81 Enjoyed it very much. But what would the Moist Fam store even sell?? :)

[@KateyYing]

Super cool! Would love to see more like this!❤❤

[@CoryMay81]

Stay tuned for more tour videos of stores, malls, etc. Cheers!

[@chuzzthefuzz1908]

Thanks for the tour! You were wondering about malls in other countries - I’m in New Zealand and can tell you that this Japanese mall, though obviously much bigger, is otherwise pretty much like any in our country. Very interesting.

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! hehehehe Yeah, I can imagine many malls in many countries are more or less similar. Cheers!

[@DhwaniRathod-dv1eo]

37:17 I was also shocked that it was in kid's section😂.....by the way amazing mall and your voice gives me butterflies.....💕🦋

[@deepikarathore-ni1wm]

U r from india ?

[@MarkisCouch_1WhatJustHappened]

Great video!

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the tour! I hope you watched my other store tours as well. Cheers!

[@pilotgrrl1]

I enjoy your mall and store tours. I miss going to Japan, everything here in America is the same chain stores no matter where you go.

[@CoryMay81]

As funny as it might sound, Japan is the same when you visit different malls. Same name brand stores in all the same chain shopping malls. But I guess the vibe is a little different. I used to enjoy going to the mall in the U.S. for a short while after I first moved there. Then it got so boring and stale very quickly so I never went, unless I needed clothes. hehehe

[@JMarieCAlove]

It also depends what state you’re in. I’ve been to a lot of states and noticed stores or department stores I don’t have in my city or in the whole state. There are the same big box stores all throughout the states though.

[@pongster888]

Just discovered your channel. Good stuff! Cheers from Canada.

[@CoryMay81]

Woot woot! Thank you for watching! Cheers~

[@RendezvouDoo]

Though im not a mall fan this is a funny vid off of commentary alone! 😂😀😎

[@CoryMay81]

hahaha Glad you could enjoy it! I try to keep my commentary PG-13 friendly, but usually it always steers off course into rated R territory. I can't help but be lewd and make adult jokes. hehehe Thanks for watching!

We are all alike but not alike Loved It Thx for another non tourist video❤️

31:23 Love the kids store

[@RuffPlay]

I'm really curious what a Japanese Gold Store is now? 🤔 An the thought you buy tube socks from a store called "LoveToxic" makes me chuckle a little bit 😆

[@CoryMay81]

A jewelry store? Thanks for watching!

[@Seiffer55]

If nobody has told you recently, you're the shit and I appreciate your content dude. Hope you and yours are doing well.

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks my man. Always appreciate the awesome comments and support! Stay tuned for more content and please stay safe and healthy!

[@carlayortega]

I really enjoy these videos! Thanks for uploading! ♥️♥️ and btw, my jaw dropped when you said the price for the school bags. Sooo cute and I can see the appeal and it’s neat that ppl are repurposing them. Oohh and what’s up with parents and LLBean? 😅😂

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks, Carla! Yeah, those specialty school bags are just a part of Japanese culture for elementary school students. You almost never see a kid that doesn't have that style of backpack. There are some cheaper versions, but it's still much more expensive than say a $20 Walmart Jansport backpack like many kids in the U.S. use.

[@CoryMay81]

Oh, I forgot to say yeah! LL Bean and Land's End. hahahaha They love it!

[@terryallanedwards5304]

Great tour Cory! Would love to see a tour in retro store, you passed one in one of your livestreams once🇯🇵👽

[@CoryMay81]

Retro store. Hmmm... I'll have to try and find one. By retro, do you mean like vintage? I'll try to think of some places with retro/vintage stuff. Thanks for watching as always, cheers!

[@jerolvilladolid]

Ive travelled to Japan twice already from the Philippines, and I was shocked at the lack of malls in Japan. The train stations is where the real commerce happens. I believe its because Japan has nice, cold weather and there is no incentive for people to congregate in huge concrete structures like malls. In South East Asia where Im from malls are enormous semi-cities because the heat here is unbearable.

[@CoryMay81]

Japanese summers are absolutely brutal, especially July - September. So malls, department stores, and other places indoors are full of people trying to escape the 40°+ weather and humidity. But yeah, around trains stations is where most of the shopping is at, for convenience reasons. Plus many of the train line companies are owned by the same companies that have department stores. Thanks for watching!

[@DrakeFeatherwing]

I miss the days of Waldenbooks in malls where you could go, sit, and read manga or gaming magazines while your parents clothes shopped at Sears or JCPenny... And I think you were thinking about Spencer's. Still a thing here in the States.

[@DrakeFeatherwing]

Also, I'd be playing the heck out of that claw machine with the Shaymin plushes... 🥰😍🥰

[@CoryMay81]

Oh man, that's a throwback for sure! Loved Waldenbooks back then. Used to get my Dragonlance books and Marvel comics there ages ago. And yeah! It was Spencer's that I was trying to remember. I totally forgot the name while filming this. hehehe Thanks for watching!

At 21.50 I think you were thinking about Spencer’s gift’s…it is no longer in existence

[@CoryMay81]

Yeah! That's the one. Wow, Spencer's is gone?! Did they go bankrupt or something? A shopping mall icon, gone forever. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RendezvouDoo]

I live in Maryland. And yes jc penny is still around. Lol I am not a big mall fan.

[@CoryMay81]

Oh interesting. I lived in MD for quite some time as well. I heard a lot of malls around the DMV are all dying out. Totally weird to imagine! But also doesn't surprise me.

[@Mayotta]

1:04:07 Aw... so there's no statue of the beefy naked dude of 36:22? booo... hahaha Also that's an small mall? I thought it had a nice size, and more importantly, lots of choices to eat! :) Have a nice day Cory!!

[@CoryMay81]

hahaha Uhmmm I don't think so ? I haven't seen a statue of him at all on the streets. Yeah, by comparison to other malls like LaLaPort, this is small. Thanks for watching and see you later!

[@sharonkline6515]

I used to go to a Mall every week and took my girls once a week. And yes Penney’s is still in the US

[@CoryMay81]

Nice to know! I left the U.S. over 9 years ago so there are quite a few companies that have gone under since that time. Thanks for watching!

[@blueowl8]

The gold guy is probably getting you to case the joint

[@CoryMay81]

Well, I think they were just spammers because after their spam of asking me to film gold shops, they started linking to a gold reselling shop in the Philippines. Instant block. hehehe Thanks for watching, David.

[@blueowl8]

@@CoryMay81 No problem great to watch since I can't be there in person right now.

[@Broompilot-qr9bt]

We're you thinking Spencer's novelty store?

[@CoryMay81]

Yep yep, that's the one. Been over 9 years since I've been to one so I forgot the name. Thanks for watching!

[@neubro1448]

I see you're meeting Officer Ryotsu again. I remember that Speedo wearing guy. He always retrieves bananas from his briefs which is like Doraemon's pocket. His combat style is to fight unarmed and naked.

[@CoryMay81]

hahaha I never read the manga, so I don't know the characters at all. But a neverending Speedo storage space sounds so crazy. LOL Thanks for watching!

[@Hicks-g1m]

Cool mall tour Cory movie theater tickets there are way too expensive 20 dollars US? no way am I paying that much but the movie theater there with those kiosk machiens look amazing and those back packs 800 Us dollars for one? way too expensive I would never and I mean never pay that much for a backpack I don't care what brand or what it's made out of I live in the Philippines and the malls here are similar 4 floors sometimes 6 malls in America comapred to over here are already dead or dying no one really goes to them in America anymore it's really sad cashiers don't bag stuff for you you do it yourself what?

[@CoryMay81]

Yeah, super expensive. But I guess it's OK if you only watch a movie once a year or something. Thanks for watching!

[@AjvinGison-ev7gk]

AT THE THIRD FLOOR TO MUCH ANIME LIKE SHINCHAN AND DETECTIVE CONAN IN THEATER AND THIS PARTY STORE…….

[@TheRealPynkPanther]

Party Rico = Spencer's...ewww!!! the manga dude with his hand in his draws in the kids' arcade!😳😳😳

[@CoryMay81]

Ah yeah, Spencer's was the name. I've never read the manga before, but I'm told that the character with his hand in his underwear actually pulls out random tools and weapons from there, like a bottomless bag of goodies or something. I guess it's his superpower? Anyway, still super weird to see right next to all the games where little children play. Thanks for watching!

JCPENNEY is still open. Sears is closed.

[@veronicareynolds5001]

Are your malls disabled friendly?

[@CoryMay81]

Yes, malls are usually wheelchair friendly with ramps and elevators. But I can't speak for all malls, since I haven't been to many. But the big big ones, like Lalaport and Tokyo Midtown, those ones are. I think more than it being designed with the disabled in mind, they are designed with baby strollers in mind. I think in the last 4 years, I have seen maybe 3 people in wheelchairs out in public, one of them was a foreigner.

[@paboy2727]

Malls are almost the same everywhere you go but I do agree Japan malls are way cleaner the the ones in the states Americans really have no manners anymore

[@Becky-jy7sx]

I don’t like Americans malls their boring and their not much malls left but I wish they bring stores similar to Japanese store they seem more cheerful. I order close from a store in New York call TeMu the store their close are better then American close.
