Lunch at Tokyo's Biggest Park | Tokyo by Bike

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

Riding bikes through a huge park!! Bike lanes...on the outskirts of Tokyo. Ginko trees!!! A blanket of golden leaves from the Ginko trees!! Ohhh...bamboo trees. What a great place with you two!! Red maple tree are so beautiful! A glimpse into Japanese farm life...while looking for food. This is a lovely video!

[@markmorgan2058]

I always look forward to your video's , Shinichi your great at what you do .It makes me happy to know that despite this pandemic the Japanese people are able to continue their lives as normal as possible in these video's. And to keep great food alive . 👍

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you

[@alexcarter8807]

If you like learning about Japanese food, look for an anime on here called "Oishinbo" it's about a group of people who work for a newspaper, and review food I think, but every episode I watch, it's like an education on some aspect of Japanese food.

[@teddrakness650]

The grassy plant looks like one that I have here in the states, called pampas grass. It comes in different colors of the puffy parts on the top, but the grassy parts are quite sharp and if you aren't careful it can cut you. It is quite pretty in the fall though when the fluffy parts on the top are in bloom. (:

[@NicholasHay1982]

Yes, I believe it's pampas grass (named for the Pampas region of South America where it is native to).

[@mathswithmrzuber1259]

Wow. Feels like I just spent a day out in Tokyo! Thanks for the virtual visit. Here's hoping we can visit for real some time in 2021 ...

[@spanda64]

You are such a sweet person @shinichi ! Im so glad I found your channel

[@NicholasHay1982]

Yes, Tsubaki is called Camellia in English. They are the same plant that gives tea leaves, Camellia sinensis, but cultivated for ornamental flowers instead of a tea crop.

[@minniec.9127]

This park is spectacular. I would be cycling with you and Satoshi, enjoying and admiring the natural beauty :)

[@Bluetangg]

Such a lovely park. I’d be out there every month. It must change each season so much. So beautiful.

[@suzanneelston2663]

Satoshi's sweepy plant is called Pampas grass in Canada :)

[@marissacaldeira2098]

Pampas grass in California also

[@SarahPerine]

Sweepy Grass is a much better name!!

[@susansprouse1023]

Such a peaceful and beautiful video. The park is gorgeous. The planted areas fascinating. When you sat down to eat, the sounds of nature were wonderful. Thank you for sharing this outing with us.

[@maximmortal]

In the UK (I don’t know about anywhere else) back in the day, the pampas grass was a ‘secret’ symbol used to alert others that you were into swinging! Haha! Swingers apparently planted them outside their houses to let others know!

[@mayumidaigo3613]

My son has been there as his school field trip and we have been there as our own picnic. Showa Park, the land itself used to be US military facility for a while, so no wonder it’s a large park in Japan. Thanks for another amazing video. 子供が学校の遠足で、昭和記念公園に行きました。すごく広いですよね。

[@samanthajohnson3368]

I loved watch the leaves fall and float in the water too. Its so calming.

[@dennistani1986]

Guys, this bonsai trees are amazing! I can't imagine that tree that is 250 years old!!

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

The park is beautiful. I don’t know how to ride a bike. I think the red flower is single camellia.. the leaf is shiny like that one. Thank you for that nice tour of the park

[@astroboy3507]

It’s so nice eating out good Japanese foods at the parks or having a picnic I love that!!!!!❤️👌🏻

[@emiko1474]

I love the bonsai area of this park, what is the name of this park? I loved the trees, especially the beautiful momiji! And the flowers of the tsubaki. You two are really in good shape to ride bike in this huge park, would you say it’s about the size of Central Park?

[@Shinichisworld]

The park is called Showa Kinen Park. I think Central Park might be a bit bigger.

[@4403323]

A great park for biking . I love ❤️ it

[@nikeeweston]

The park is beautiful thank you sharing.

[@Meow-vy4el]

those feather duster-like plants are called 'pampas grass' if I'm not mistaken

[@sphynxmagg7256]

I loved the Japanese Maple trees! very beautiful! thank you for sharing! (That's what we call the Momiji trees in the States)

[@lynnechamberlain5962]

The pink flowers are camellias. They are the same family as the tea bush which is Camellia sinensis.

[@Sherinc2]

pampas grass is the name of the big bushy stems

[@carriepadgett2743]

Thank you for taking us with you. It's so beautiful! I've been working 12+ hour days and it gets dark so early...this definitely made me feel like a long missed walk in the park♡

[@debracantrell1058]

WOW how awesome a bike ride and lunch 👍 ride bike looking at all beautiful view then having yummie lunch enjoy guy's be safe 👍❤️

[@catherinebond7474]

I wish there was a way to capture images from the video. I'm learning to paint and I think some things you show would be really nice watercolors.

[@laurene2586]

Rode bikes when younger, but haven't in years. Love these bike videos! It's like being on the bike!! The park is so beautiful!

[@joycegentile8552]

Nature runs her course... Sometimes leaves sometimes bare trees! Both are beautiful !

[@verah971]

Love the bonsai garden. I learnt to ride a bike when I was little, never got the chance to ride again since then, I think I'm still able to. To answer your buying e-bike question, unless you see a good sale, buy in the next season when weather is warmer. 😊

[@MonaJaneArtLovesAllcom]

Thank you so much for the footage. I love watching the transition of nature 💕✨ take care and be safe always!

[@silvermesh]

That park is amazing! Thanks for showing us around 💕

[@samanthajohnson3368]

The tall cream feathered plant, we call pampas grass in the UK. This park is outstandingly beautiful. I love walking or riding through fallen leaves, the sound in nature.

[@anascelia]

Another wonderful walk outside a busy city like Tokio. I've managed to learn how to ride a bike just before I turned 40 years old! It's never too late I suppose😊. I even fell down twice in the process 😳.!! I suppose my skills are good enough for a ride in this beautiful park. Maybe one day... Satoshi said the bikes were like Christmas bikes because of their colours...green and red...those are the colours of the portuguese flag 🇵🇹! Thanks for your video. Stay safe!

[@tritruong8125]

The park is beautiful. I've biked through Yoyogi Park with my family but will need to explore this park next time we're able to make it to Tokyo. Thanks for sharing!

[@AHylianWarrior]

Momiji are called acer trees in the UK and they are very popular and beautiful to see! They're one of my favourite trees.

[@ellenbrennan7021]

That was a lovely tour and I loved the Bonsai garden. Thank you for that. Someday I will see it in person.

[@genevi3680]

Relaxing! From Colorado, USA. Thx.

[@debbiemckee5982]

Hi! @Shinichi’s World! This is an Awesome Video! Have a Great Day! 😊

[@pottedcat8269]

Pls do show us more of the park 😊

[@somanybookstbr9716]

Lovely park!! The tree with brightly colored leaves is very common in yards here in California. Usually called 'Japanese Maple' and one that turns bright red is favored. I can see three of these in my neighbor's yard from where I'm sitting now. A few years ago we had a sudden big problem with thieves stealing these trees from people's yards and selling them for $$$ at flea markets! Also all us kids in my town learned to ride a bike. I fell a lot, kept trying, then one day...ZOOM! Such fun :)

[@エミールゾラ]

色々な美しい花々を紹介しながらよく歩きましたねぇお疲れ様でした👌

[@perdomot]

There is something hauntingly beautiful about Japanese gardens in winter. I've been to Higashi Gyoen in Tokyo a couple of times in November when most of the trees were bare and it was still very beautiful. Makes for an interesting contrast when I visit in summer and compare similar photos I took.

[@myjoymylifeareu1430]

so beautiful ....thank you

[@joycegentile8552]

Japanese Maple it's called where I live. They are red most of the time.

[@PamelaProPeace]

Another glorious day out! Thank you. This is just the most beautiful and interesting place! Now I feel less sad that I didn't make it to Japan (trip cancelled because of Corona, Today is the day I should have been returning home from a 7 week trip) because I wouldn't have known about Showa Kinen Koen! I have now added it to my trip calendar (moved forward a year) and I will definitely be visiting here in 2021. And I'll be staying for the whole day, I'm sure! I will be renting a bike (as there is no traffic I can risk it 😃.) Perhaps you'll both join me 😃😃 How about it? I've written it in for December 1st 2021. By the way the glorious pink flowers that Satoshi photographed are I believe camellias. I wonder if they are related to the tea plant because the Latin name for the tea plant is Camellia sinensis, The leaves looked very like those of the tea plant you showed us and even the flowers seemed similar to me.

[@SarahPerine]

Yes those were Camellias- the pink flowers Shinichi asked about. I think they were the ornamental Camellia Japonica. The tea leaf shrubs in the video were Camellia Sinensis.

[@west_nebraska_dude4527]

Loved the bonsai garden!

[@ladymurasaki370]

Beautiful park! Thank you for sharing Shinichi I really loved it and appreciate you! Love that Satoshi also was with you! 💜🤙🏽🌺🙏🏽💜

[@Kidsevalan]

What a beautiful, beautiful park. Thank you for taking us along. I really loved seeing the colors, and I appreciated that you and Satoshi showed us some close-up pictures of some flowers and leaves. Oh, and before I forget ... I loved Satoshi's Mickey Mouse cap. :-) I was sorry Shinichi couldn't get his kabab ... maybe another time. Anyway ... thank you for the tour.

[@patsyjohnson9878]

Beautiful park! Thank you for the bike ride. Take care and stay healthy and stay safe.

[@tbuzz7753]

i love your videos...It's my dream to live in Japan...reminds me of the town in my childhood with my da, now both gone!

[@MatchaMelonPan]

Beautil autumn colors, must be so nice to have a picnic there !! ☺

[@ji1511]

Love this park. Its absolutely beautiful in Spring n Autumn . Its a 40min train ride from the city but well worth it. I usually stop at Nishi Tachikawa, which is nearer to the entrance. Take the train back to Tachikawa to spend the daty, lots of places to shop and eat.

[@bonzolvr]

I used to ride my bicycle *everywhere* as a kid/teen but it’s been so long since I’ve been on one (over 20 years) I really don’t know if I still know how.

[@isabelleklaren7244]

Japanese maple is the red maple tree, and the plumey grass is called pampas grass.

[@LycheeGirl816]

Magical! Thank you!

[@NikkiM93]

I've ridden a bike when I was young but never could stop properly LOL. I haven't done it since, I just have a lot of anxiety, also about biking on the road where I live, I don't like the idea.

[@HarpistinJapan]

beautiful park!!!! and food looks delishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@damo0210]

the bike ride is serene and lovely to watch. that park still looks amazing even without the leaves on the trees. it is quite mild for this time of year here in the uk. what a shame you couldnt get a kebab. but the food you did get looks delicious.

[@armaugh]

When I lived in Okinawa, we called the green leaf plant with the tall blooms ¨Pampas Grass.¨

[@alexcarter8807]

That kuro-soba looks interesting, and everything's better with a little Kewpie drizzled on top!

[@Namidagr]

I am from Greece, and although most of the Greeks know how to ride a bike, l don't... And l was really suprised when l vishited Japan and saw how bicycle friendly every city was. I am.going to learn how to ride, so l.can rent one next time l visit. It is a great way to go around

[@productplacement39]

Tsubaki means Camellia in English, I'm only aware of this name because of "Tsubaki Factory" which is a Japanese girl-group under the Hello!Project entertainment company.

[@west_nebraska_dude4527]

They are camellia ... really beautiful

[@alexcarter8807]

I love that they have a food map!

[@krissykriss328]

Hi sweet Shinichi!!! Hi adorable Satoshi!!!Hugs from Arizona!!! 🌵💖🌵💖🌵💖🌵

[@londonpelen9157]

I love riding bike and lunch too yummy

[@danmccarthy4700]

This park looks absolutely idyllic. If there was a park like this near me I might be coaxed to ride a bike again for the first time in like 30 years.

[@ssirin]

My mom taught me to ride a bike when I was 10 and I'm so grateful because it helps me to go around many places where car is impossible. However I can't ride motorbike which is quite frustrating because sometimes it's easier and cheaper to go somewhere with a rented motorbike than a rented car.

[@phengov943]

Will watch the replay 😃👍

[@christianhansen3292]

that was fun.

[@deltamclaren7634]

I try riding a bike when i was little but got. Afarid because i went over the handles bars

[@thepowerstation2702]

Thank you 🙏 Shinichi and Satoshi. The park reminds me of Shinrin Koen Park in Saitama which I would also recommend. ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levent 🦁

[@marikouchiwa4093]

A super nice and calm video like usual! Jusg what I need after a long day of work. Stay safe guys 😊

[@Lady_Vampy]

I know how to ride a bike...but eversince i had my eye disability i never rode it again...i miss riding a bike and go around my area... 😟😟😟

[@abefrohman1759]

Maybe the Kebob guy went to get the crispy fried chicken you mentioned for his lunch. 🤔😂🤣😆

[@kb16kb]

Those bonsai trees are amazing!! I would like to visit that park! Can you please write the name of the park in the description box? Thank you!

[@angemaidment5640]

That black yakisoba looks amazing!

[@HikotsuM]

Satoshi's hat is so cuteee I love ittt

[@shawnheatherleenerts341]

My wife and I love to watch your adventures! Thank you for sharing. My wife would like to know where you guys got your masks?😊

[@shuiniuniu]

🌾Susuki is called silver grass in English🌾💛

[@kamariahzaharin4744]

too bad about the weather and worst the not so satisfying lunch you had. Maybe this year you could come back and do another video here! This is such a lovely park, worth exploring again. Yes, I do know how to ride a bike unfortunately where I live, it's not like Japan where there are many bike friendly places. 👍🏽😁

[@wendynorton9465]

I hope I'm not too late and someone has already answered your question. That plant with the feathery plumes and what looks like thin sharp strands of long leaves we call Pampas grass in The San Francisco Bay Area where I live.

[@daniel-panek]

This looks great

[@karmesindryade]

The "sweeping tree" is called "maiden silvergrass" (Miscanthus sinensis).

[@mswebcam31]

Great video!

[@min2vietin]

It's beautiful!!! Thanks for the "ride'. Can tourists ride bikes inside Japanese parks? Is it legal or would you need special permits?

[@revagreen2303]

Bonsai fantastic! 🙏

[@markmorgan2058]

Amazing, amazing, amazing SHINICHI 🌏 This was my style of 📹 video , so much to see and enjoy with breathe taking scenery. As a 🌱plant lover this would be a place to visit. Most importantly this would also be great opportunity to share with the government officials how important it is to incorporate other foreign languages to there signs .So tourist can understand it's not for walking, jogging. ( Which was quite noticeable in the video). A simple sign 🚷like this would be great so we understand . This park has so much to offer : Bike rides only : Food : History : Horticulture Ideal for any tourist who want to venture by bike , relax and unwind. Well done 👍Shinichi really enjoyed the🚲 ride with you and Satoshi Have a wounderful day guys 🍁🍁🍁🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🍁🍁🍁

[@lynnechamberlain5962]

In Australia we call those maples Japanese Maples

[@asialee6326]

..just when I caught a premier my internet acted up🤦🏻‍♀️ ..I love all those autumn hues and those bonsais too💚🍁💚 I have always been interested with bonsais wish I have the skill and the knowledge to grew one😁 ..also that kuro yakisoba looks interesting😋

[@eukaryote-prime]

I didn't have much time today so I had to kind of skip watch your video, so my apologies if you answered my question in the video, but I reminded me of something I want to try on a future trip. Have you ever had those deep fried maple leaves?

[@MishMashTravels]

What is the name of the park? I know you said the name at the beginning but I don't know how to spell it so that I can mark it down as a place to visit when I move there.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thus is Showa Kinen Park

[@MishMashTravels]

@@Shinichisworld this is one of my favorite videos that you have made. I hope you and Satoshi are doing well.

[@sanzoparty1066]

I live in the Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA area and we call that kind of grass "Beachgrass"

[@irmamorrissette3688]

Loved that!

[@mixelle_0]

Satoshi’s Mickey hat is so cute ☺️

[@dresk7958]

Autumnal beauty

[@lynnechamberlain5962]

Those clumps of grasses are what we call Pampas grass from South America

[@hipskyhigh]

Can we took the plant sweet bean tree as satori said....😀 at the parks.

[@Nina-fc8ey]

Japanese accent is SOOO CUTE!

[@wendyhartung4245]

Hi guys! When exactly did you visit this park? Hubby & I are pushing our spring 2021 visit back to fall 2021 and we want to know what the leaves will look like when we come.

[@Shinichisworld]

This was the middle of November.

[@MrMrmike76]

Peace and love from Antioch California, San Francisco Bay area!... I think you should try to get your ebike asap.. You may be able to find a deal right now.. And It seems like it would be great investment for you living in Japan..
