Lost in Shinjuku Station (Tokyo Japan) (World's Busiest Subway Station)

My Twitter: / drift0r
I got lost in Shinjuku Station which is not only the busiest station in Tokyo Japan, but is also the busiest subway station in the world! Jessica wanted to find a Daiso (Japanese dollar store) and we went down to the second or third subbasement of one of several malls attached to Shinjuku station. The internet and GPS mostly stopped working. The signs were mostly in Japanese. The crazy thing is that everything connected. It was like being in an ant hill! 4 million people in one tiny area.

He looks like a 5 year old that's been crying for 2 hours straight because he can't find his mom...

[@Qualltoxy]

Fat Kids Lag In Real Life i bet thats exactly how he felt :D

[@cyberbtw2016]

Rlly that name doe

[@GiggityGoo205]

Oh my gosh imagine a kid actually getting lost there. They'd never be found.

[@royrieder2113]

Fat Kids Lag In Real Life I liked your comment because you username made me laugh

[@brendanbernard3177]

Shinjuku Station, one of the worst places to be during the start of a zombie apocalypse.

[@4ARMS100v2]

A good bo3 zombies map doe

[@AstroKitty]

We heard you like malls, so we put a mall in your mall so you can shop while you shop. Mallception

[@lozanodorian80]

MINDFUCKED

[@jahladagaming]

Haha, I remember my first time in Japan in 1998, I arranged to meet a friend at Shinjuku station. Obviously never found each other.

[@CristianGarcia-xp2oj]

I guess you can say... Drift0r went in depth into the station.

[@correctedshredd]

Booooo!!

[@RyB305]

Holdini

[@MrWilko2000]

Hahahhahaha

[@agentnacho2029]

Roan H. Get out right now. Just leave.

[@Epicgamerbro2000]

Booo

[@cutthroat795]

It's hard to believe this was built. I mean building that extensive of an underground mall is just crazy!

[@k.stokyo6100]

Don't worry man. Even though I'm a local in Tokyo 🇯🇵, I always get confused in Shinjuku station. First of all, get outside!!!

[@WaterCoolFool]

you need to go to akihabara. I was stationed in Japan when I was in the military.

[@noahjones728]

Thank u

[@Warriorsfansince-kd5db]

Noah Jones You*

[@xBoks1x]

Noah Jones You're welcome.

[@WaterCoolFool]

THE DESTROYER No problem :)

[@Drift0r]

Already did. Got a video with some of it coming tomorrow

[@KingJellalTV]

This makes me wanna go to Japan all the more tbh lol I don't care much for malls but the ambiance there looked interesting

[@V8_Diva]

I have to say Drift0r. I never knew anything like this ever existed. You shared it with me and I'm very impressed. Thanks for this very interesting video.

[@devackroyd]

I live near a really big mall in Canada called "West Edmonton Mall" and 10 or 15 years ago it used to be the biggest mall world wide, and it is pretty big, but compared to this... My god. This is probably 10 times the size of West Edmonton Mall, and it s a big mall! I don't blame you for getting worked up! That place is a labyrinth of never ending places to spend money!

[@dadsgirl99pr]

More people go through that station than the whole population of my country ._.

[@southerndojo]

No way, haha. Driftor, I was going to head to your meet-n-greet near Tokyo Tower but couldn't make it. But I had a party in Shinjuku that night and I see our group in the background of your video around 1:42. Haha. So close. That sunset was amazing too, right? Hope you enjoyed Japan. Cheers and keep on rockin' the videos!

[@myelinxcviii5400]

That looks like absolute hell to me. I have an extreme fear of heights (I can't even look at tall buildings without feeling dizzy) and the amount of people? Jesus...

[@TheMythicD]

Ryan Burnham Same for me too.

[@AliGamingM]

Ryan Burnham I feel you!

[@itzlubiku9017]

Same

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

I get anxieties in heavily populated places. Hell, I get nervous when my town's grocery store is busy. That place seems very cool. All that underground? That would cancel out my anxieties, that's a place I would def go to if I had the chance.

[@kwryry24]

Shinjuku is insane. We got lost night after night whilst staying in Shibuya for 5 nights. Totally get the ant in an ant hill thing, it's a huge amount to take in. I wonder if the locals ever really get used it. Or if there are locals... maybe it's just businesses?

[@thehandsomenipple3623]

NO DRIFT0R DON'T GET LOST I NEED YOU TO MAKE AN IN DEPTH ON THE MK14 HARDTIP I GOT TODAY PLS :(

[@justakid6013]

It just increases bullet penetration

[@TheSubPredicate]

Juan Ramirez Please tell me you're not serious

[@sowhazupguy]

He's serious, all the damage means on mk14 is penetration. Desecrator is the best.

[@Wusuba1]

sowhazupguy I think what he meant was that he thought the other guy said it in a different way maybe. Kappa

[@FN_Krynthesis]

MK14 - Hardtip [Enlisted] (White camouflage) (Hollow circle iron sights similar to the Desecrator) +1 Damage || High Bullet Penetration, no actual increase in raw damage -1 Handling || 10% Increased Hip-fire Spread And he slightly talked about the variant in his first ever MK14 video review.

[@Noondroid]

I've lived in Japan almost 6 years and I avoid shinjuku station at all costs due to the madness

[@lomayagi]

I am not a fan of large crowds either but it's fun sometimes to get lost in the madness! FYI - Most JR (Japan Railway) staff at the train entrance/exit areas and in the JR station offices can speak decent English and are generally more than willing to help you find what you're looking for (They enjoy practicing English with foreigners most of the time) Enjoy the good eats! It's what I remember the most every time I go back to Japan.

[@AHeadlessChicken2008]

Driftor's wife looks pissed

[@clayguy1]

I had a one man art show in Jakarta Indonesia.. back in 1991... and had a stop in Japan on the way... It was just as Drifter says.. It's just scary how many people were just going through the airport.. I'm from a small town in the mountains of Montana... Culture shock to the Max... and then there was Jakarta... OMG

[@YourTripMate]

Yeah. I can fee u. I’m from jakarta and have happily moved to Lombok Island for years now. 😂

[@Nzuser1]

I feel your pain, when i was in Shinjuku on holiday me and a few friends were heading to Golden Gai for drinks, i told them "just gonna duck into the subway to use the restrooms" and was lost for an hour, luckily i managed to find my way out and bumped into them.... very disorientating when you are rushing.

[@bobdavis4848]

Glad you got out in good shape! Shinjuku station is not just the busiest station in Tokyo but busiest in the world. I’m a Californian who has been to Japan 26 times and finally it is much easier for me to navigate Shinjuku station. I’ve seen the Green Peas sign at 1:53 loads of times; it is outside the South East exit. Why did you want to prioritize going to Daiso when they are in America? You felt alone in a crowd? You have a wife you were with! I don’t. I doubt it’s bigger than most American cities. At 5:14 you said “even if you don’t speak English” when you meant “even if you don’t speak Japanese.” I am glad no one in your family suffers from mental illness. If they did, I am sure you would not use the term “insane” for a different meaning so much.

[@hyde6055]

hahhahaha that's why japan is so freaking interesting... every corner somethings is hidden like a hidden gem... every year i booked a trip to japan, but there's always always new stuff around... stop being afraid or frown... just enjoy and get outside if you're lost

[@Hoobufx]

this makes me miss japan

[@하버-l3w]

shinjuku station is the busiest station in the world. and it is recorded in guiness book! 3.41million of people use it everyday!!

[@hiddenfog180]

I feel like I've seen that place several times in anime

[@Majis]

Kyle Myers I'm down cow

[@tinyminiguy]

Kyle Myers Hey, its sexy kyle!

[@lideroo100]

Little racist

[@Teddymwenda]

Lider Leon how ? lol he jsut saying anime shows hella real places

[@GlitteringToothpaste]

WEABOO ALERT

[@luisalmanza119]

I seriously feel I chose my days in tokyo all wrong. I wanted to meet Drift0r and now I get to know he's in shinjuku?!?! I was there almost everyday!!! Goddamnit friggin' chances man.

[@armind7]

Japan looks insanely brilliant,maybe one day.

[@elysiumcore]

Took me a year of living in Tokyo to figure that station out....Shinjuku at rush hour...fun times lol

[@billster1091]

When i went to Shinjuku in 2013 i got lost for 2 hours looking for the right exit.... Cool place but horrible place to get lost

[@justinlim2593]

i heard that there were over 600 exits from this station

[@Lanes100]

I see you stayed in the Hilton. I recognize the couches lol I stayed there too the suites are A1. Best hotel ever

[@CoconutJewce]

Instead of walking around for hours, why not ask someone where Daiso is? Most/some Japanese should know some English, and if not, you could just say, "すみません、ダイソーはどこですか？ (Sumimasen, Daiso wa doko desuka?)”

[@lu-chan1745]

Weeb

[@CoconutJewce]

Soldier: 76 You're right. I'm a weeb because I hardly watch anime anymore and am nearing fluency in Japanese. You got me!

[@Mugsi]

I was there, too! I didn't explore too much of it though, as I was just look for the subway, which still took me about twenty minutes! From there, you should go to Harajuku and/or Shibuya and visit the Meiji shrine!

[@XIronXGamerX]

"This is madness" No, THIS! IS! TOKYO!

[@williamb7574]

The world busiest place in America is not a station but a fast food called McDonalds. About 5 million people enter it every day

[@xTheInfection]

William B lol

[@AceFetty]

Wow my aunt took me to Japan when I was younger and we went there. I was so lost. So many ppl and stores. I wish to return someday. She lives there by the way!!

[@Warriorsfansince-kd5db]

People*

[@iCantSleepz]

weaboo.

[@Mutantman1000]

Japan looks so awesome to visit Great vid Driftor

[@MrJaxyagi]

If you live in Tokyo, and, use the SHINJUKU Station frequently, it's not a bad pace for transportation and/or shopping. Just you must get used too. As you know now about 4 million people use the station and the buildings EVERY DAY. You could be one of them soon.

[@KingChampii]

I WAS LITERALLY IN THAT SAME HALLWAY 3 MONTHS AGO. Crazy

[@hanshalverson8964]

I like how his wife blends in with the crowds of people and he just stands out. XD

[@mountainous_port]

I dont know of thats offensive.

[@bert6938]

Wow this place is insane! :O

[@arkhitekt7733]

Your wife does not look impressed lol

[@V8_Diva]

I know she looks like she's mad at him for not knowing where to go in a foreign country lol

[@drmoreno98]

No that's just her normal face. She is the variety of Asian that always looks mad.

[@V8_Diva]

Mr. Wolftastic sort of racist. Drift0r even pointed out that she got mad at him in the video.

[@arkhitekt7733]

CrazyLuckyGamer 0 WE ARE LOST IN AN OCEAN OF SMURFS AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS KZbin!!! (generic wife freakout)

[@V8_Diva]

Kirk McClain technically she can't get mad because it's his job.

[@romanday3429]

Imagine how long an in depth of this subway would take 😕

[@TheOSgamingHD]

I was literally just in Tokyo, I stayed at the Hilton connected to this very subway station. I wish I had known about the fan meet up. :(

[@snauru]

i was there a while ago i got lost

[@kenshiba5813]

Yo man, it's been awhile, but I wish I had known you had planned to be in Japan. I definitely could have made your life easier. The basic thing to keep in mind about transiting through Shinjuku-eki is knowing if you want to be on the east (higashi) or west (nishi) side of the station when you exit. From that piece of info it is pretty east to get around. Going to and from the different rail and subway lines takes a little more practice. But that mainly comes with experience. BTW people in shorts = weekend or holiday, LOLS. Hope you had a great time.

[@MrGameKiller8]

Poor Driftor, traveling and shopping with his wife in an unexplored world. I would have freaked out long before going underground. LOL

[@CamachoBJJ]

Maybe if he never gets out, he'll stop ruining CoD. Now if only we can get AliA and TmarnT down there too. And we can save CoD.

[@vagankovo_ivan]

Shinjuku isn't tiny. Station have over 200 exits.

[@desioner]

Enjoyable to get lost from time to time. Glad that the culture shock hit hard. Makes going home and relaxing all the more peaceful. Perhaps I'll get to meet you if you make back again…

[@Niggro07]

I went to Japan for the first time this year. We went from Narita to Shinjuku station, I’ve never been more lost in my life! But, alas we finally found the outside and walked to our hotel 5 mins away. We did however eat our way to the exit, so it wasn’t all bad.

[@martyschad3183]

I lived there for 4 years.. Japan is a great country.. Remember you don't want to get on the black trains...

[@rickonami]

Love Shinjuku... As for me i always use Google maps for Train stations info and time schedules.

[@megumiyamashita9270]

it a nightmare for me the first time lost in the mall for 3 hours.. I mean alone.. Haven't talk about how I find the exit.. Lol.. Just little advice.., walk with someone.. if don't know, need to make planning. well I've learned my lesson when I go to japan..

[@Parasite556]

Japanese police are the best at giving directions because most of them speak english.

[@teddymckenzie4709]

DO YOU WANNA GO!? Get some ice cream? I'll pay :)

[@Bestgameplayer10]

Drift0r's wife is just not havin' it

[@damonleeb]

About as much madness as the Drift0r's madness series

[@SAMAKUS]

Should've equipped Peripherals instead of Cold Blooded drift0r. Everyone has that class ready when you play on Shinjuku station.

[@dannysmith785]

Looks really cool, but that many people would irritate me. Fun to visit, but give me the countryside anyday.

[@MattHammy]

Welcome to Japan! After 3 years of living there I got used to the pushing and the people. If you want a nice time to relax go to rupungi hill (I think that's how you spell it) very nice and relaxing. Or yoyogi park is very Nice! Enjoy

[@davidtenesaca7460]

Driftor...I've been surviving so long without your cod vids 😔😓

[@冬草夏虫-z4o]

I was looking for some reactions of foreign people to my nearest station, and he suddenly shows one of my most favourite comic wow Even Killy could get lost in Shinjyuku station I swear

[@lumicious]

Hey Drift0r you need to visit these places: Akhabara (after visiting all gaming stores try out the dreamgirls who wears maid-clothes.) Skytree (Second highest building in the world but the best view imo) Odaeba (skyline view over tokyo) Water adventure tokyo summerland Fuji-Q (has 2 world record holding rollercosters) I went there last september and all of them gave so much unforgettable experience

[@imicca]

weird. I though Galaxy Note 4 had good video camera. and what editing software you used here?

[@nickleith951]

Hi Drift0r, I've been a sub for some time but haven't posted before. I really appreciate your channel; There's always something new to watch. I laughed myself into a coughing fit with your toilet video and it looks like my brother in law will be a sub after that as well. I just wanted to say thanks for everything you do for the community and the additional non COD related content built into you videos e.g. Drift0r for president, it sets you apart from others in my opinion. On that note I was impressed with your level of understanding on how the President is actually elected and the limits of the executive powers. While in Tokyo I'd suggest 2 things. 1) Check out the Tsukiji Market just after it opens and catch the tuna auctions, It's a sight you won't see again and has backdrop of the main market around it. 2) Try Sukyaki. If I said it was a beef dish with raw egg it sounds awful but it is probably my favourite meal out when in Japan. If you can't stomach the idea of the egg then go for Shabu Shabu Anyway thanks again for the content and have a good trip.

[@sambrittenden4045]

Just got back from shinjuku, you really overreact there are signs everywhere but it's amazing how many people there are in rush hour.

[@Sorax999]

That awkward moment when you are more feminine looking than your own wife

[@MrCraigy2705]

Damn I'm amazed. . Can't even imagine how they built all that

[@korasbole5983]

cant imagine why, this is overwhelming, i feel like a rat in there

[@Freedm762]

Drift0r i just remembered..... there's a really good ramen shop at shinjuku that cost 2 to 8 bucks..... i forgot what kind of ramen i chose but i remember it's 8 bucks (800 yen ish....) and there's porkchop with it :p

[@primemachine146]

Wow you don't in America you don't have shopping shops connected to your train station or sub ways, everything you have seen is in Australia

[@BrittWDoubleBaggedKRON]

I used to live on the Yokosuka navy base and went through shinjuku all the time

[@chomper720]

Drift0r is so tall compared to everyone! :O

[@XerxesTheUndead]

1:59 Looks like somebody is a happy camper Kappa

[@somaseviov2399]

Ah this made me miss Shinjuku. It was super confusing at first but once I got used to it, I loved it. Plus having someone with me that spoke Japanese helped.

[@badr3483]

2:00 drift0rs wife is like I hate my life

[@korasbole5983]

This makes me clistofobic im used to malls with giant ceilings

[@joshk6929]

Would do that in the evening if I have time after my sightseeing. Going in would definitely waste your time looking for places and directions. I avoid Shinjuku St unless it is necessary to transfer for other subway/ JR.

[@glenthegamer2286]

I'm in Tokyo atm as well on holiday, I missed the fan meet up by kne day as we landed the day after it but still keeping an eye out for you!

[@TheBurningBurger]

So the entire population of Los Angles was in one building?

[@PvtClift]

Yup and where I live there were 5 times more people there underground than in my city that's insane.

[@lilmosca4607]

Driftor use your uav!!!!

[@sashaqueenie]

Tokyu Hands, that was at Takashimaya, no? Shinjuku is so easy to navigate. And lots of fun. Pace yourself and go for toilet and drink breaks.

[@doodleeful]

I'm Japanese. We are also lost in Shinjuku station.

[@sowhazupguy]

Your wife looks extremely pissed at 2:02 lol

[@BTrix3D]

Still waiting on that Robo-Toilet in depth video.

[@xbostonboyiZfirex]

Durarara!!!! The anime/manga takes place in shinjuku. u should check it out.

[@MrSquirto]

You should visit Iwakuni in Yamaguchi and Hiroshima.

[@Britox]

Drift0r the other Godzilla.

[@phatboyjim]

This is madness! MADNESS?? THIS..... IS....... TOKYO!!!!

[@keenparchment3053]

Atleast a million - 4 million* found that funny a little

[@TrydeoVideo]

Tokyo is the Biggest City Per Person around 38 million live there

[@forteastro6996]

I can imagine somebody breaking down in that place. That would be a sight to see.

[@xxapplerpro3662]

drift0r be like theres malls inside of malls inside of malls

[@Cal-nm1pc]

Your wifes face is priceless on the escalator xD

[@pax84111]

Mrs. Drift0r don't look too pleased 1:59

[@KillerAppetite]

New York and London stations are still busier and more important

[@LieToYourDoctor]

People complaining about walmart crowding lmao

[@DrazV2]

I would feel so 'trapped' underground in a busy place like that
