I appreciate that you leave the names on the screen. It gives me time to mark them on the map without pausing the video. Thank you!

[@samurai_junjiro]

Glad to hear that!! Thank you♪

[@user-lk2qf4rt3m]

I remember being in Shinjuku, looking around for the cat, when suddenly, a massive, caverous miaow pierced the night air! I turned around and there was the big boi. Yes, the cat miaows and the billboards play sounds!!

[@samurai_junjiro]

I was amazed when I saw this 3D cat for the first time!

[@opeeelivinwithaloha]

I’d love to see a video about how to use a luggage delivery service to move my luggage from different hotels :)

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for your comment!

[@Kitsambler]

Very helpful - love the way you organize information by station exit region.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Glad to hear that!! Thank you :)

[@crazycatlady6396]

The best video I’ve seen! So helpful! Thank you and we look forward to taking many of your recommendations!

[@samurai_junjiro]

Glad to hear that! Thank you! We hope this channel will help you :)

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

Some I knew, but others I did not know. Good ideas to check out. Thank you.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you as always, Kiyoshi san😊

[@joycesewald1788]

I really like the fact that you live in Japan and give us tourists great Insider tips!! Domo arigato gozeimasu!!❤

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for your wonderful comment! We'll continue making videos that are helpful for everyone :)

[@radomirbossev1300]

I wanna know who thought eggslut is a good name for a restaurant and thank him :D

[@daeriousjames2220]

Tumbs up for another great content ! will be visiting Tokyo soon !

[@yukiagu]

Thank you for this video 📹 ❤ I'll be going there with my friend when I visit Japan in November! I'll save this video so I can remember where to go! 😊 Thank you ❤

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you as always! Yuki san :) We hope this video will help you!

[@awetistic5295]

Thank you for another wonderful video! ❤ Our hotel in Tokyo will be in Shinjuku, so this is very helpful. Akanemaru and Junjiro with the giant cat are so cute! I can't wait to eat delicious gelato while enjoying the beautiful view of Shinjuku. 🥰

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! The floor with the gelato shop in Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower is a hidden gem with not many people around, so we highly recommend it :)

[@user-lk2qf4rt3m]

Omg!! I just came back! May I give you two amazing tips?! There is HUGE Don Quixote in Koreatown, about three mins walk away from Godzilla tower - it's so much less crowded than the tourist-central one in the middle of Shinjuku! We were able to have a calm shopping experience there, and the tax free counter had no queue! Also, please try Takano fruit parlour for the most MIND-BLOWING fruit puddings known to mankind!! Also DON'T do the Ichiran in the centre of Shinjuku, the queues get MASSIVE! Either go at 4pm or just go to a neighbouring Ichiran. They're all the same. You would be better just hopping over to a neighbouring district, because the queues can be like 3 hours plus!! (Amazing ramen though!)

[@awetistic5295]

@@user-lk2qf4rt3m Thank you so much, that's really kind! Japanese fruits look out of this world, so I absolutely have to try the fruit puddings! We actually planned to go to Ichiran in our neighbourhood, so thans for the warning. We'll make sure to go to a neighbouring district that is less crowded. The ramen look amazing and I love the concept, but it will be even better with less waiting!

[@user-lk2qf4rt3m]

It's the best ramen you will ever taste but avoid the mad queues by just eating a little earlier if you can. The Shinjuku branch has to have theme-park style queue management... It only has about 20 seats! Have the most wonderful time

[@WorldTrotterHereandBeyond]

Good job!

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you!!😆

[@vitordavid6086]

Great Video! Very informative. To the list i would just had "Dug" the jazz bar in a basement in shinjuku

[@samurai_junjiro]

Glad to hear that!! Thank you♪

[@graceyim2941]

This is such an interesting video. Thank you Akanemaru san. Sinjuku is so crowded and overwhelmed. It's good to get some focus here. Thank you. ❤❤❤

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you! Have you ever been to Shinjuku? :)

[@yvonnepanks3998]

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! And thank you for sharing about Shinjuku Pit Inn!

[@astroboy3507]

Gracias por su tiempo☺️

[@samurai_junjiro]

¡Gracias por ver el vídeo!

[@drewcorry5056]

Number 1 absolutely hands down should be Kabukicho

[@samurai_junjiro]

Kabukicho is the busiest district in Tokyo! :)

[@laciemckindle2684]

Hello! We will be visiting in May with our two teenage daughters. We were wondering if it was ok to visit izakaya earlier in the evening with them? We were also wondering where we can go to listen to live music, but not J-pop. Maybe blues, jazz or rock n roll with our teenage kids. They are 15 and 17. We were also wondering about late night arrivals into Haneda with 4 people and plenty of luggage. Do you have any advice?

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with places where you can listen to live jazz performances, so I don't know any good spots... By the way, minors under the age of 20 are not allowed in izakayas where smoking is permitted (even with adults), so keep that in mind. But recently, chain izakayas don't allow smoking, so children can enter those places :) Trains don't run late at night, so it might be best to either take a taxi if you've already decided on your hotel, or consider staying at a hotel near Haneda Airport :)

[@pingqiaoyang3698]

if you like jazz,please search for blue note Tokyo, it’s a historical jazz bar and you can reservate on line.And if you like rock and roll,please check 激ロック,you may find useful information on this side.

[@annelorewijnants]

Great!

[@halukiandkuma]

How about Wako-Shi and/or the surrounding area Saitama? We stay there every year when visiting family.

[@samurai_junjiro]

If you're coming from Wakō City, Ikebukuro is close by and highly recommended for shopping. Also, Kawagoe in Saitama is a popular spot among tourists for its traditional Japanese townscape. You can also enjoy food hopping there :) 【Kawagoe street food】kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2vn6Z5fa-dgMk

[@halukiandkuma]

Thanks for your recommendation. We loved Kawagoe and can’t wait to go back again soon!

[@unebonnevie]

Thank you for the video! Counter seats at restaurants are tax free? Or just the sushi restaurant you featured in this video?

[@samurai_junjiro]

As far as I know, you can't get tax-free services at restaurants. However, at places like Don Quijote or drugstores, you can often get tax-free services :)

[@edriellepamplona2081]

Osaka😁

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for your comment!

[@ShpanMan]

The "staff" that invites customers to overcharging restaurants looks different in the animation than in real life 🤣

[@echoenzoaspiringmagiciansm6864]

HI, thank you for this video, you mentioned that projection mapping on TOKYO METROPOLITAN BUILDING in Shinjuku will end on April. When will they start again? we plan to visit this OCTOBER thank you

[@samurai_junjiro]

Hi :) They're still doing projection mapping, so you'll probably be able to see it in October as well :)

[@bastantavicario]

How many hours would it take to visit all these places without eating? I want to take photos and videos.

[@samurai_junjiro]

I think you can visit in about a day if you don't stop for meals :)

[@juliatabareva9103]

🤩🎉❤👍✌

[@unebonnevie]

The Observation Deck build (at the top) has great macha ice cream. There is a piano there, attended by a lady, that you can play, but you would have to tell the lady before playing.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

Tokyo is amazing city, i've never been there, but someday i will visit there using all the tips that i learned in this channel, cheers from Brazil. I know that there are Brazilian products for sale in Tokyo, try it, you will fall in love.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Shinjuku is highly recommended for sightseeing and shopping!

Thank you for mentioning that izakaya also serve soft drinks. I don't drink most alcohol (just don't like the taste), so I was afraid izakaya were going to be a no-go on my trip ❤
