Japanese Summer Desserts 👑🐷 Tokyo Tours

[@KingKogi]

Hope you enjoyed the video, the filming was cancelled about 5 times due to extreme heat in Japan, it was up to 46c! So I was very happy to finally get it filmed for you all

[@justmejenpolar]

you did a great job!!! thanks for being our virtual tour guide. :)

[@nadine3193]

Thank you for braving the heat for us all!

[@lunyx8147]

Keep it cool, captain!

[@Eternity586]

Thanks for braving the heat!!!

[@ellen_globetrotter3783]

It is awesome! and what a beautiful valley you presented us! Putting it down to not forget it. And cute little capsules you inserted, love love love the new little King kogi animation for the capsule's intro-outro !! weeeee

[@Death_by_routine]

Oh my gosh!!! Dan!!! Hi, happy to see you!! This video was amazing the delicious ice cream and awesome places. I woke up early to watch this and I am not a morning person. At all. Love you Martina and love the videos.

[@Chrysanthemus]

I had the exact same reaction, Dan!! :D

[@Hamartias_hound]

I was hoping he'd be the camera wizard again!

[@Death_by_routine]

@@Hamartias_hound saaaaaame.

[@InnerSerckle]

Yaaaassss!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lili011]

i'll be that person - who is Dan again? he looks familiar but i don't remember >.

[@audreana1129]

OMG DAN!! Seeing him literally made me tear up a little what a good face to see! It makes me so happy he’s still in your life

[@Spikeygal]

MARTINA. Never before have I had someone recommend me the appropriate walking aid. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[@Eternity586]

Thissssssss

[@katyb2793]

Yup 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@amysharpe698]

Dan is still your camera man!! I'm so happy to see this, I was aware you had someone helping you film stuff for your previous videos but I'm so glad it's Dan he's an original pillar of EYS and I love that you're still friends

[@anthea_h]

Dan!! I was wondering if you’d find him to film or someone else! Glad to see him filming! Also the melon gorgonzola ice cream looks heavenly and the kakigori too 🤤 my mouth is watering

[@jasminee204]

He's been helping her with all the Tokyo Tours videos! :D

[@KingKogi]

Yes, exactly! I always tag him in the infobox but I know most people don’t check.

[@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft]

@@KingKogi I just tuned in to hear your lovely voice, Martina. Keep em coming 😍🥰

[@TKRJ64]

Hooray Dan! I'm not sure why but this particular video made me smile so much, like your old school Korea videos. I feel like you're coming into your own and I love to see it. Love seeing old friends still with you too :)

[@oldskooldoritos]

“may your deodorant be strong” 😂😩 and thank you so much for being meticulous with ad breaks, shows you really care about presenting your content in a meaningful way 💜

[@ih8myileecyrus]

This video, perfect. The re-introduction of Dan the Cameraman at the end, perfect. 10/10

[@logan_parker]

You can tell Martina (And Dan!) put so much effort into each of these videos. Looking forward to the next one already.

[@DiscussToUnderstand]

This feels like one of the most polished pieces of content that you've ever put out.

[@mleliew1]

Fun fact: Martina is not using an uchiwa, she's using a sensu! Both are words for small fans that you hold, but a sensu is specifically for ones you fold. An uchiwa is the traditional rounded kind that stays flat the whole time.

[@KingKogi]

Thank you for the comment on this! I totally didn’t know this difference! The first time I was holding a flat fan, uchiwa, I was at a festival and a Japanese friend told me, “that’s called an uchiwa” so I just assumed all hand fans are the same. I love learning from this lovely diverse and smart audience 💕 🙇🏼‍♀️

[@neulasia]

i was taught this in japanese class, because our textbook had the same mistake. and it was made by a japanese person.

[@Eternity586]

I've been LOVING Tokyo Tours. Such excellent content - you can see how much care you put into your videos. They give me Anthony Bourdain: Parts Uknown vibes but with Martina flair ⭐️🐽⭐️

[@ayametrine1472]

I second this!! I've been watching for a decade and your signature flair adds so much Martina thank you! You're up there with Anthony for sure. We love you so much Queen 🤩🥹

[@cynthia_ess]

Your camera man is Dan!!! I had a feeling but wasn't sure!!! Hiii!!!!

[@KingKogi]

I’ve mentioned him in each of the Tokyo Tours in the infobox, you can visit his channel and see what he’s up to!

Finally made it to Japan for my study abroad semester, and we had about a week to explore before classes start (tomorrow). At first we were trying to go to shrines, and castles and temples and it was SO HUMID (I knew it could get humid, but wasnt expecting swear rivers😅) But today we went to the Kyoto Aquarium and the air conditioning made all the difference!

[@KingKogi]

Welcome~ yes it’s one thing to know about it, but the humidity is just insane, you should have felt it during peak August 😱 September and October are delightful, enjoy your time here

[@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft]

@@KingKogi Beyond insane.... but just as bad here in Iowa 😭

[@michellechu6836]

Ugh I love the editing. The sarcasm, timing, and humor really come through.

[@sass2836]

Can't wait to watch, Martina! Your Tokyo Tours series has been an absolute gift, it feels like a whole new way of looking at the city, with all its wonderful hidden gems off the beaten track. I adore the graphics and trivia as well. The series feels so refreshing and unique -- thank you for sharing it with us!

[@mack915]

I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on accessibility. Not something I see covered much in Japan travel videos, so thank you

[@RIXRADvidz]

That Was So COOL !!! Hangin' with Martina is always a good time. Cool Music, Cool locations, Cool Treats !! I'm really pushing it here, trying to send the COOL Vibes. Denver had it's roasty toasty days already but the hot 90's are still with us until September. Stayin' in the Shade is how I spend my Day. Stay Cool Magical Martina !!

[@a_raychelle]

Ahhhh!!!! Dan and Martina creating together again is so amazinggggg and so good to see him!!!!! I literally cannot contain my happiness right nowwww 🎉😂👏🏼

[@whiskey994]

DAN IS BACK!!! HELLO DAN!!!

[@sadmimikyu8807]

My jaw just openend like that of a snake Omg it is DAN So happy I never dared to ask about him omg I am soo glad Thank you Martina for taking us to the literally cool valley. I love places like that. You poor thing the heat seems to be unbearable!

[@eminjapan]

I used an eyk towel I bought at the cookie time event for years to mop up summer sweat. Will confirm a sweat towel is essential.

[@tA-bc3rw]

The trivia section......... Great idea! Cheers for another good video!

[@KingKogi]

Glad you enjoyed it! I wonder if you were able to guess any of the trivia🧐

[@tanakacanuck2343]

I just chanced upon your channel, and I love your “Tokyo tours” series. When I am in Tokyo, I really enjoy getting off at random stations and finding food and drink. So, I have been taking lots of notes while watching for my next trip. Arigato!

[@KingKogi]

Well what great luck! Nice to meet you and welcome to the channel. Sounds like we’re the same, love the random station adventures. Hopefully you can find some new places to visit, please check the infoboxes for the google map links 🗺 hope to see you around the channel again, the community here is lovely and very helpful too!

[@katyb2793]

How do you manage to not get lost? I think this is the thing that scares me most about travelling alone since I have an incredibly poor sense of direction 😅 It seems like my worst nightmare getting lost where I don't know anyone and don't know much of the language. And trying to manage public transport.

[@mallorynicole7355]

I absolutely love the mini quizzes in between segments 😭 it reminds me of old school kids tv. I get super giddy trying to answer them lol plus I learn something new every time (:

[@KingKogi]

Thanks SO wonderful to hear and EXACTLY what I was going for! I spend way too much time trying to come up with interesting quizzes haha

[@mallorynicole7355]

@@KingKogi it is so well worth it! 😂❤️ thank you for taking the time to make them funny too lol

[@katyb2793]

I love them too! 😊

[@jayecanada977]

The ice cream part is funny lol

[@FroIsPower]

This episode was next level - such great choices for the structure of the video! Loved it!

[@teagz1106]

I don't usually post comments, but I just wanted you to know that I loved this video so so much. Everything about it made me smile and I'm just so proud of you for continuing to kill it in the KZbin universe! Your content is simply Chef's kiss 😘

[@monmixer69]

Oh shit! DAN! What a throwback!

[@jaydeeelady]

I was just thinking about you and how much I'd like to have a new video from you. I get so much joy from watching your life. If I had the money I'd move abroad for sure.

[@KingKogi]

BAM! New video! These places will always be here, so hopefully one day you can make it overseas.

[@Doyoulikewafels]

this video is soo nice! Thank you for your hard work and great aesthetics Martina! I really appreciate the little details you put into your videos! And it's so nice to see Dan again!

[@saulcoa587]

To see Dan again!

[@abewilderedbeast]

As someone who adds freshly cracked black pepper to their PBJ (or anything with jam on it), I knew that icecream shop was a real one when they added black pepper to the top. That sounds super yummy!

[@JellyJerryy]

Dan!!!! Such a pleasant surprise, we've missed you!

[@gabrielleb74]

Dan! I'm glad he's back helping film.

[@SuperBrieBear]

This video is A*. I love everything about it: the execution, the comedy, the trivia and the practical information for anyone visiting and not knowing what to do (e.g. it's ok to move between train cars while traveling). I really enjoyed it and watched it again. And of course seeing Dan again is such a treat. Stay cool.

[@andreaturner7207]

This was amazing! Thank you so much Martina! Also I love that you are feeding Dan, you both need to keep your energies and coolness going in that heat. 46???? I have been battling 28+ for DAYS and I am dying. How have you not melted? I would be a raging puddle by now. Kudos to you for handling it so well.

[@TheAbbyNormal]

Your little porch space is so cute

[@thungo5360]

Yassss another great video from one of my ABSOLUTELY favourite channels!!!! Whenever I watch your videos, I want to buy a one way ticket to Japan and visit all the places that you mentioned. My first trip to Japan in 2019 was inspired by you, so thank you 🙏 Definitely will be back!!!!! Really appreciate little facts that you inserted in the content. Also, at the end when the camera turns I was like “Dan is backkkk!!!!!!!” Can’t wait till your next video ❤️

[@bouncecat]

❤️❤️

[@KingKogi]

Thanks so much Maria! This will go into my Tokyo Tours Research fund~

[@Iroxinping]

i haven't watched for a while. i have a lot to catch up on....your algorithm is going to get better. ;) think it might take me few days to watch all your vids from a month or two after you started this channel.

[@saiyorihime]

DAN! Such a pleasant surprise to see him! I know he's been in the background filming but its so good to see him again! Good to see you both doing well! :D

[@gothamgalleria]

Great video Martina, I was in Tokyo for all of July & as you can see the rapid rate of ice cream melting, the heat & humidity was no joke.

[@selenazc]

SO nice to se Dan and you working together again! great video as always! Thanks Martina!

[@lindsaycordova91]

It gets really humid here too in the Southern part of the US. It’s miserable! You walk outside and immediately feel like your pants are sticking to you. Dresses and shorts are a must for our summers. Thanks for braving the heat and humidity to bring us awesome content ☺️

[@johncarloromande8695]

Wow that cameraman is cute Amazing content as always Martinieee

[@CyberBBtv]

thank you both for filming this when it was so hot! your production value keeps going up!

That’s great to hear! 😮‍💨 I’ll pass it onto to Dan, he suffered carrying the heavy gear bag for sure 💦

Great video. Good to see Dan again.

The way Dan shoots you in these videos makes you look amaaaaaaaaaaazing!

[@princessatemma]

Yesss!! Dan is back!!

[@fromrotterdamtotokyo]

This is the station closest to my (now passed) grandparent’s house. From when I was a kid I would always walk though Todoroki park to get to my granparent’s house which is about 50 meters from the exit of this park and it is my favorite hidden spot in Tokyo because of the memories 🥰 p.s. my mom used to tell me she has seen snakes there when she was younger.

[@araemeucci]

DAN!

It's Dan!!!!! You made my afternoon. ♥️😂🤗

[@maralisil]

Man that ice-cream looked great! I bet the Melon-Gorgonzola one would love some pink-peppercorns sprinkled on top :D

[@CutiieDeviilX3]

OMG IM SO HAPPY YOU HAVE DAN WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This gives me so much comfort that youre with a familiar face

[@KingKogi]

Yay! We’ve always worked well together. He’s changed from being a great coworker, to a great best friend. Glad to have him onboard with this series!

[@CutiieDeviilX3]

So happy for you guys! It’s been such a crazy year so glad that there’s still some stuff to brighten up the end of it!

[@tillydavvers]

Tokyo tours is my favourite series in KZbin right now. I am desperate to go back to try out all your recommendations. Would you ever maybe do a 'vegan hot spots in tokyo' tokyo tour/general video? Maybe like a 'konbini options for vegans' ? I was pleasantly surprised when i went of how many restaurants there were, and it's always something that holds me back from travelling more (can I even eat anything?!) But I struggled in the convenience stores and accidentally bought fish twice >▪

[@breaktheice1990]

Dan!!! Feels like seeing an old friend again after a way too long time!!

[@shesfrench]

Your videos are always beyond beautiful, I felt like I was there thank you🤍🤍🤍

[@JennyHardyHulme]

So cool to see Dan again! :) Great vid as usual Martina!

[@melanieBB]

Great video Martina, and it was awesome that you were so active in the live chat at the premier. I started watching your channel many years ago when you were still in South Korea, from watching while still being a teenager to now an adult myself. I was just checking out your shop and I would love to see a video showing the progress, of coming up with an idea for the shop, creating it and the final steps for it to be on the shop also. Thank you for being awesome all these years,

I’m in southern Australia, where we’re only just easing into Spring, and part of me is dreading the inevitable seasonal trajectory into summer time. But you make summertime relaxation look and sound so charming, I almost wish it were ice-cream season right now!

This wasn't in my recommended or my subscription feed... BUT YESSSSS KING KOGI VIDEO!!!!

[@annacrosby6737]

Hi Martina ! I just wanted to say that if one day you feel comfortable or healed enough to talk about surviving narcissism I would love to see your insight. I had an incredibly similar experience to you - same timing - and I feel like I'm along for the ride with you. It's been one of the most painful and unpredictable experiences I've ever dealt with. Seeing you climbing the ladder, living your life, and speaking openly has been so motivating for me. Sometimes I cry just watching your video because I'm so happy you're pursuing passions and being creative and letting yourself blossom. love you lots

[@KingKogi]

Hi Anna, I’m so sorry you had to experience that too 😞 it’s such a confusing experience and extremely surreal when you realize what’s been going on. Even escaping it brings self doubt about your reality, it’s so hard to talk about because people who don’t understand the situation, they cannot grasp the mental and emotional fuckery that has gone on. I wish I could talk about it more freely but I’m honestly too scared. The repercussions of having more people message me and tell me that I’m a liar is too much to deal with, and they just don’t know the whole situation. I’m still healing and I’m sure you are too. I’ve made a build a ladder playlist that you should check out and there is a KZbin channel “Surviving Narcissism” that tremendously helped me. I’ll get through it and so will you! Let’s keep building our ladders, even if we fall off and get scared. We’ll do it again 💪🏻

[@annacrosby6737]

@@KingKogi I can't even imagine. I'm very lucky that I don't have to deal with people who don't know my situation giving their opinion. If I hadn't had outside support convincing me I was doing the right thing by moving on I probably would've doubted or blamed myself. I completely understand wanting to keep it close to the chest and letting yourself heal

[@XDproductionsXD]

Todoroki~ I used to live there when I was a kid, decades ago. I used to play by the river with my friends. it was just a dirt path back in the day. Thank you so much for finding our special place. Thank you for sweating for us~

Oh, hello Dan!! So nice to see you guys reunited!

[@glitterstar74972]

yippe an upload :D i woke up feeling very depressed today because my doctors appt is tomorrow where im probably going to be diagnosis with fibromyalgia, but your optimism about disability and pain makes me feel like my world won’t be all doom and gloom!

[@KingKogi]

It is a mental journey, for sure. You’ll have lots of changes about how you feel every year. But I do hope that watching my adventures (and the many others with chronic illnesses that push on) is living proof that you can still enjoy YOUR life! Tough days for sure, but we’re cut from a tough cloth 💪🏻 and determined to experience life and joys along side the pain
