The BUSIEST Intersection in The World! Christmas Eve in Tokyo Japan

[@ddrz09]

I've done Tokyo with some of my exchange classmates in '11! What's most amazing if you're from America visiting tokyo is that if you leave on Christmas Day (around 9pm Japan time), you can fly back to America and spend christmas again because of the time zone difference lol. It was awesome to have 2 Christmases back to back.

[@hintonoriginal]

You're such a likeable person.

[@coffeesticks_03]

He looks like a great travel partner. Which is ironic considering he always travels alone.

[@Yessibd_]

I like the fact that you are so naturally adventurous, you seem not to be afraid of trying anything and I love your videos!!! Keep on doing it, cheers :)

[@MikeyChenX]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@bigboimihai6559]

Mikey Chen MIKEY,IN THE DESCRIPTION YOU PUT 'HOME THE THE BUSIEST INTERSECTION'

[@Scottyjvtv]

I love your Japan vids! Keep them up Mike!

[@alliemollie]

The cold stone staff are so cute! They put me in xmas mood all over again. 😂 Mikey next time go up to Starbucks in Shibuya and shoot the crossing from there. The view of the busy scramble is spectacular! 😍

[@dvdkolk]

The time lapse he shows after he crossed it seems to be filmed from the Starbucks

[@valkyreve]

"Asian wheres Waldo book" hilarious! XD

[@senhueichen3062]

Mikey, I was there too on the Christmas eve. I DID NOT see you... so...that implies how big that intersection is....enjoy....fun to watch all of your videos.

[@unlokia]

I *LOVE* Japan - SO clean, SO MEGA efficient, SO SO SO polite, SUCH a beautiful, happy country and SUCH beautiful women.,.. what's NOT to like?!

[@soapboi5420]

unlokia anime is not to like

[@Zara-ry9it]

What is not to like? The social standards I suppose for work and family life. For the Japanese it's okay but people who live outside Japan its a mixed opinion (some would even argue its really bad). Most areas here in Japan are clean but very expensive.

[@Zara-ry9it]

I'd also like to point out Japan has a serious issue with overworking employees and from time to time while waiting for the Train we would get delays that are caused by suicides (people jumping off the rails) most common in Chuo line (where I frequently travel on).

[@onigiri1205]

wait until you learn about equality

[@7211_]

unlokia some people work so hard they die

[@ejbuhnieeee6148]

Hella fun seeing the videos you made. Xing nian kuai le-♡!!!

[@HyperSensitive88]

I'm going to Japan soon and it'll be my first time there. I can't stop watching all your Japan vlogs! Looking forward to the next ones!!!

[@marymaria8373]

Why do you make traveling alone fun? I couldn't be this enthusiastic! Love your personality!

[@SanBrunoBeacon]

Wonderful video showing a side of Japan that most people don't know exists :-)

[@beelzebuI]

Love all of your channels! You are a busy man.

[@fisharefriends598]

You need to do a Mikey Chens round the world trip for food and culture

[@wanidadlreyes6999]

[@tooktooknee]

omg, this makes me miss japan soooooo much!! T_T but you make this so awesome mike!

[@sharonklug1337]

I just want to say I enjoy watching your shows and that I love your personality

[@AnyaWVossand]

I have to admit, when the coldstone creamery staff started singing jingle bells, it reminded me of the scene at the end of A Christmas Story where Ralphie's family goes to the chineses restaurant and get caroled... somewhat successfully.

[@vfurious5173]

i have always wanted to go to tokyo mike thanks for showing what to expect

[@143yaknow]

My close friend is going to Tokyo soon so I've been sad about not going as well, but your vlogs are making me feel just a little less sad, thank you :)

[@tinasigourney6281]

I love your videos and the music is awesome keep the videos coming and be safe

[@LilNrthStar]

Mikey, I love it. Great video, my heart belongs to Japan.

[@jagaimo2]

Hey Mikey! May be some other comment already said it, but that 3:49 Kit Kat was hot ginger flavour. I like your videos :)

[@astrolingus]

You rock Mikey Chen! Great weird video.

[@emmanuelduranpizano9490]

so Christmas their is January the 19 that's so cool! keep on vloging mike!

[@richardschindler8822]

Oh man!! I sure hope you back to your hotel fairly soon after you shot this video. If not, Santa wont come. That's some major crazy intersections they have there, that's coming from someone that's live in NYC.

[@Jessica-hl7tq]

thank Japan for bringing Playstation , Cars, TV, Manga, Matial arts, Anime, and other beautiful culture. I love Japan

[@TheFairytales1]

you are so cute. well done on travelling alone. u seemed to have had an amazing time.

[@dot_frost]

the weird orange is called mexerica in Brazil, is really easy to peel and eat. a good snack

[@waqarwiki682]

You are adorable, and a humble person

[@indirapoitier338]

That was so sweet. thanks for uploading

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Mikey , this is so much fun !

[@CarlaLovesTer]

cool water dispenser.. we didn't see those when we were there..

[@Zara-ry9it]

CarlaLovesTer Japanese are very conscious about cleanliness in Public so as much as possible no skin contact is the best. (One of the reasons why we wear facemasks)

[@patriciasmith6894]

Love these videos, they make me want to go.

[@tonichisum3365]

That was awesome. Jingle bells in Japanese! You must work out like a fiend! That’s a lot of dumpling for one man! I hope you had a Merry Christmas. If you’re ever in San Antonio Texas we should eat!😎

[@virginiacopeland108]

Whatever you're eating at the end looked yummy!

[@Zara-ry9it]

Shibuya's crossing is even busier and more crowded than Shinjuku's. At night Shinjuku is a dream.

[@ebonyloveivory]

Trashcans are really, literally, non existent. I've been there before and everyone simply keeps their trash with them until they get home and dispose of it then. And yet, the streets and public places are always so, so clean. Major props to the Japanese. ^^

[@soapboi5420]

I would love to go to Tokyo except I can't speak Japanese

[@kango5868]

Bobby Williams im gonna be a transfer student in japan. :)

[@robertatonumaipea4601]

Bobby Williams I would like to go to Also can't speak Japanese either it would be amazing to visit

[@layllaby]

most adults in japan will understand english, doesn't really matter just go if you want lol

[@BMTHLMAO]

Bobby Williams I'm going in 3 weeks and I can only say a few words in Japanese.

[@DasOmen02]

No time like the present to learn! The internet's a big place. I found a website that teaches Russian for free, I'm sure you can the same for Japanese :)

[@CarlaLovesTer]

awwww.... so fun! that ice cream place!

[@onigiri1205]

its because Christmas in Japan isnt a holiday, its sort of like Valentine's Day. New Years is much more important and family get together on New Years

[@scottkamp8026]

thank you Mikey, now i never, ever have to visit Tokyo. your the man, peace

[@chrischen328]

I laughed so hard when they sing jingle bell in a Japanese accent that is pretty good.

[@whhusa]

Should try Shanghai on Christmas Eve. I couldn't cross the street because there were so many people coming across the other way!

[@mujtabaaltayib7417]

How beautiful

[@AmarilloMusicAB]

I love it! I gotta go to Tokyo!

[@Max-my6rk]

Japan: clean and japanese is polite…

[@CarlaLovesTer]

polite = 100%... clean... hmmm... Shinjuku ruined it for me... too many trash on the street

[@loicawrhuves8195]

CarlaLovesTer too many tourists from their noisy neighbor...

[@Zara-ry9it]

The Japanese polite enough to not tell you they are bothered by your appearance and difference that's what it usually is. Speaking out about what we really think is considered impolite and stand off-ish.

[@CarlaLovesTer]

You're awesome!

[@CarlaLovesTer]

CritiqueCat lol! Are you this upset all the time? I get you mate but you are so funny. Hahahaha

[@joenyc]

it's so funny to see mikey give no shits vlogging down the streets of tokyo lol

[@miyawa21]

I can relate with the Shinjuku station area hahahahahaha, got lost EVERY TIME i go there

[@dancat333]

that song was so great :D

[@SVAworld]

where can i get the song from?????

[@UnexcitingChris]

Oooh, I saw Bic Camera. Last summer when i was in Tokyo i filled up my suitcase with Gundams from Bic Camera, lol I'm going back to Japan early 1018, can't wait!

[@luigigalvani6936]

whats the instrumental he always uses at 0:30 ? its so catchy

[@robertatonumaipea4601]

I love your channel came across it by accident u are very entertianting to me

[@VirginiaMyVirginia]

Mikey, you're not supposed to touch the expensive fruit, you showed your "tourist-ness" there.

[@zam023]

Not just tourist-ness, I think Mikey doesn't do grocery shopping back home. You are not suppose to poke or squeeze the fruits and vegetables because you will spoil them.

[@victormendez7105]

Stupid

[@KinaestheticDmaw]

Mikey, download the application called Hyperdia to your phone. It allows you to input your departure point and destination and time. And it will show you how to get where you want.

[@DoyouKofu]

Great video!

[@nac369]

I have to say it : you touched those fruits wayyy too much! My mom would always scold me for touching fruits in stores because it spoils them! Anyway, good video!And if you guys want to see the Shibuya scramble crossing without a soul, go there at 4 am on New Year'eve! Been there last year and my friends and I were the only one there (but lots of people on the subway at that hour that day and in the streets too!)! I regret not taking pictures of that place, empty, in the early morning!

[@schuuichiminamino]

I'm late. People already commented about the Ginger flavor Kit Kat, the lack of trash cans, the masks, how Christmas is not a big deal in Japan, more like a "holiday" than family wise... There's not much left to say. I took JLPT N5 and N4 a long time ago. I studied a lot for N3 but didn't attend the test. If I was not locked up in my room 24/7, Japan and South Korea would be definitely my first destinations.

[@svelloso4145]

I could not understand the name of the hugest deppartment store he went.. anyone could help me? Thanks

[@elenitsa79]

That guitar music that you use so often is really good!!! What is it?

[@joshuadelafuent3]

Most logistically efficient country I've ever seen.

[@ursulaescosar2649]

I love Japan 😊

[@manjungcasterchannel2847]

Like in a film,,, tokyo drifft,,, i think it the same road

[@davelister1]

Hands across the ocean brother !

[@xcvxcvcxvxvcq]

4:45 this guy's bart simpson outfit rules

[@mcgamingjelly6186]

What do you think of milk feed beef?

[@arielbonno711]

Question was that raw chicken on those avocado slices and did you try them?

[@HotInTheCity]

There are no smoking sections in some restaurants in Japan, such as at some chain restaurants. It probably depends on the size and type of restaurant. Not all restaurants in Japan have diners smoking there. Even on the streets, it is uncommon to see someone smoking while walking. (Except for that guy in Shinjuku walking behind Mikey...😆) In Tokyo, at some larger train stations, they even have smoking rooms. So that smokers can go smoke in them, without polluting the air for everyone else. There are a few at Tokyo Station. Odd to see, when there is a glass enclosed room full of people smoking. I doubt people usually smoke randomly out in public, since littering is prohibited and people actually try to follow that rule.

[@zam023]

You are like this guy I come across on a channel about wankle engine. He keeps condemning the engine like you are going on about Japan. Pathetic.

[@psymon9951]

hey mike love your videos dude. did you travel by your self to japan?

[@jbaba4023]

I went to Japan a few years ago and the tour guide told us the reason there aren't trash cans anywhere is because there were a few incidents of bomb threats and explosions years back and the government decided to remove all trash receptacles in all public areas.

[@jbaba4023]

Michael Mancini, great idea you are starting a new trend.

[@cherylmedeiros6287]

The guy at Coldstone sounded like one of the Chipmunks! Lol!

[@GoogleGoogle-iw5ny]

is chrismas a different time their

[@countjanushassildor4727]

For some reason when you were crossing that intersection I thought everyone was going to pull out katanas and charge each other.

[@quincyllarenas9130]

Watching always your video try also philippines

[@Ehvelin]

I just found your channel and I'm binge watching all your videos, they're so much fun! I would love to go to Japan but I'm terribly allergic to shellfish, do you think it's possible to eat there without having shellfish? I can eat fish, but no crustaceans or mollusks.

[@TallNinja041]

you got it !!

[@TieDef]

If it's $14 don't poke it!

[@bangladeshpantaleon1965]

You're the best!!

[@lil7725]

We need more vlogs

[@Myhoon314]

lol "I need this in my life right now"

[@JazzysTable]

Why are the fruits so expensive?

[@skystar1237]

They don't really grow a lot of fruit in Japan so they have to have it imported which makes it so pricey

[@lonestar4454]

jasmine The fruit he was showing is specially growing in Japan. For some reason japanese like doing some crazy stuff with there fruit either it be making them super huge or growing them into different shapes. They also are so suppose be much more flavorful.

[@HotInTheCity]

jasmine The expensive fruits sold at the department store are meant as gifts. They are grown especially for that purpose. To look "perfect" and taste sweeter. If you buy fruits for your own consumption, such as at a convenience store or the supermarket, it is much more reasonably priced. In general, fruits are expensive in Japan, but not that much more. They do grow many varieties of fruits, but have high standards and that probably leads to fruits being a bit pricier than elsewhere.

[@happygenki-san1940]

In Japanese restaurants there is a certain time in the day they allow you to smoke at

[@jamescatlover123]

go also to the countryside

[@pinchechino4582]

What's the background music?

[@eddiehoff5278]

Asian Where's Waldo? Instant classic! Lol

[@Dianasaurus983]

not an Orange, they are sumo mandarins (I am not sure if they have a different name in Japan) and they are so yummy, they are pretty expensive in Australia too

[@liamwright5021]

why is the video uploaded so long after the time recorded?

[@malawimcdonaldmusic9970]

Cause they take a long time to edit.

[@layllaby]

maybe it was laying around in his videos folder and uploaded it rn idk

[@malawimcdonaldmusic9970]

No you'll notice it's up right at 11:00PM GMT-5 that means he uploaded it in advance and scheduled it to publish now.

[@MRblazedBEANS]

+TromboTravel With Sean McDonald weird how long in advanced can you upload?

[@malawimcdonaldmusic9970]

There's no limit I could upload something now and set it to publish in 3000 if i want

[@jackiedj]

Wow

[@armesisp3201]

What the? How many channels do you have??

[@MobbinMic]

gosh I read that kit kat flavor and it sounds weird. I'm not sure how to translate the first part, though I was able to read it and it literally says something like "the hot heart is warmed up .....then under that it says ginger flavor. Though I can read it, I'm not quite sure what it says on the sakura part, did it by chance come with a sakura flavor tea bag maybe??

[@StrayKev]

I didnt know you have so many channels

[@fernandolopez8023]

hey mike what do you like most about tokyo?

[@academypride1]

Nice videos!!!

[@Ladyzwolf]

what's so special about those expensive fruits? is it because they're difficult to grow in Japan? btw I love all your travel/food videos ❤

[@7211_]

I'D BE SO SCARED IN SUCH A CROSSING

[@bitneek]

of what?

[@7211_]

bitneek the people (social anxiety)

[@GravaticBurst]

*moves behind a woman* "these are the biggest pears" 🤣🤣🤣

[@senpaiSTVN]

if crossing that road is terrifying try crossing a road in the city in vietnam :D

[@J03LM1]

1:00 either u toss in the towel or wave the white flag lol

[@TheCheesyPopcorn]

the majority of the restaurants that allow you to smoke I've realised are the Chinese cuisine/ owned businesses. All other Japanese restaurants I visited had no smoking whatsoever

[@mllk12]

How do you like the lines?
