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'

[@valkyreve]

"Asian wheres Waldo book" hilarious! XD

[@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

[@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

[@marymaria8373]

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

[@Scottyjvtv]

I love your Japan vids! Keep them up Mike!

[@SanBrunoBeacon]

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

[@fisharefriends598]

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

[@wanidadlreyes6999]

&., ₩;_7*

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@ejbuhnieeee6148]

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

[@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 :)

[@beelzebuI]

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

[@Jessica-hl7tq]

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

[@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.

[@tooktooknee]

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

[@LilNrthStar]

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

[@waqarwiki682]

You are adorable, and a humble person

[@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 :)

[@tinasigourney6281]

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

[@emmanuelduranpizano9490]

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

[@vfurious5173]

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

[@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. ^^

[@chrischen328]

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

[@TheFairytales1]

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

[@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

[@astrolingus]

You rock Mikey Chen! Great weird video.

[@luigigalvani6936]

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

[@scottkamp8026]

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

[@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!😎

[@indirapoitier338]

That was so sweet. thanks for uploading

[@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!

[@dancat333]

that song was so great :D

[@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

[@CarlaLovesTer]

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

[@cherylmedeiros6287]

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

[@virginiacopeland108]

Whatever you're eating at the end looked yummy!

[@dot_frost]

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

[@joenyc]

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

[@xcvxcvcxvxvcq]

4:45 this guy's bart simpson outfit rules

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Mikey , this is so much fun !

[@whhusa]

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

[@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!

[@mujtabaaltayib7417]

How beautiful

[@patriciasmith6894]

Love these videos, they make me want to go.

[@Zara-ry9it]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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)

[@miyawa21]

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

[@eddiehoff5278]

Asian Where's Waldo? Instant classic! Lol

[@davelister1]

Hands across the ocean brother !

[@AmarilloMusicAB]

I love it! I gotta go to Tokyo!

[@Myhoon314]

lol "I need this in my life right now"

[@joshuadelafuent3]

Most logistically efficient country I've ever seen.

[@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.

[@robertatonumaipea4601]

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

[@TieDef]

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

[@GravaticBurst]

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

[@ursulaescosar2649]

I love Japan 😊

[@arielbonno711]

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

[@elenitsa79]

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

[@s4besportsgaming249]

Eclipse cross walk 😂🤣🤣

[@J03LM1]

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

[@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??

[@DoyouKofu]

Great video!

[@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.

[@psymon9951]

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

[@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

[@luigigalvani6936]

awesome mike! are you back in the u.s or still in japan ? im confused on the time :P

[@luigigalvani6936]

You're the best!!

[@quincyllarenas9130]

Watching always your video try also philippines

[@TallNinja041]

you got it !!

[@Ihdc1]

1:06 strange that you're surprised by people smoking in restaurants (and other public places) as it's the same if not worse in China.

[@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.

[@Mmelloveyyou]

Omg it's crazy. So many people. I will hibernate. Lol

[@countjanushassildor4727]

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

[@FerreroRashaie]

4:01 man smoking behind mike. literally the hottest Japanese man I have ever seen in my life. thanks for that few!

[@SVAworld]

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

[@svelloso4145]

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

[@lsubandtrumpet2014]

Tokyo is larger than New York City. Tokyo is the largest city in the world!

[@sub-ohmdave9461]

when the Japanese people sang it sounded like the lollipop guild XD

[@Wein09]

[@mcgamingjelly6186]

[@GoogleGoogle-iw5ny]

[@Dianasaurus983]

[@kramevangelista5242]

"I feel like frogger!" 5:28

[@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 ❤

[@lil7725]

We need more vlogs

[@7211_]

I'D BE SO SCARED IN SUCH A CROSSING

[@bitneek]

of what?

[@7211_]

bitneek the people (social anxiety)

[@armesisp3201]

What the? How many channels do you have??

[@StrayKev]

I didnt know you have so many channels

[@Chele212]

He’s talking sanitary and then touching all that fruit lol

[@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.
