THE PERFECT 24HRS IN TOKYO | What To Do From Day To Night

Tokyo is the biggest city in the world with a population of 37 MILLION PEOPLE! With an endless amount of things to see and do, it can be overwhelming when you arrive there for the first time and aren't really sure of how to get started. I hope that in this city guide I will introduce to the 4 main tourist districts of the city that are MUSTS when visiting for the first or if you're just short on time, but want to go where all the action is happening. Join me as we tour Asakusa, Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku for a full day of action packed sightseeing in a Japanese pop culture metropolis! Also I would highly recommend going to the traditional music of Zakura Show who kindly invited me to experience their awesome performance. You can check them out here: www.zakuroshow.com/en

*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad.

What a fantastic video! I had the privilege of spending many years during my 20’s in Japan while serving in the U.S. Navy in the 1990’s. From Atsugi near Yokohama to Iwakuni and Okinawa. Of all the countries I’ve visited Japan and its people will always be in my heart. 🇯🇵

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw that’s awesome to hear!

[@user-lv9pr9or2h]

Thank you for working in Japan. My husband is an Air Self-Defense Force officer. Protecting the country is a tough job, but I think it's an important job.

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

What to say. Tokyo is amazing, a modern city, but also with a great tradition and your video is absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much for sharing

[@AlinaMcleod]

Glad you liked it :)

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely Love Tokyo. Always interested in Shinjuku.

[@cappaman73]

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Hello Alina, Hope you are Well. Want to mention , Thank you for the postcard from Kyoto. We received it today. No doubt about it. Tokyo is a first-class city like no other. Harriet and I have been many times. In Fact , Harriet's sister just got back from Japan after being there for a month. We have booked our trip for September. It never gets old. Spot on with this video❤❤❤ Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Sending you much love💞💞💞 Dear Friend ! from Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw thanks so much! I hope you guys have a spectacular time!

[@kaustav_prradan]

ALINA........!!!!!!!!!!☺👋👋👋 Earlier I could only think of traveling to South Korea before going elsewhere in Asia but now after watching a series of your videos I think I have fallen in love with Japan too.....☺☺☺ Thank you....Alina...!!!😊

[@AlinaMcleod]

I'm so glad, thank you!

[@shakpro4296]

Keep being your kind of beautiful, Alina❤

[@jimross7648]

OK, well this video just made my soul ache, but at the same time, equally, being really entertaining. Your walk through of these Tokyo districts is as close as one can get to a perfect day in a city. The Zakura Show is something I definitely would want see and experience at least once, as I've never seen or heard this style of music live in Japan. As an aside I did stumble across a couple of ladies playing koto's in the atrium of the butterfly house at the Calgary zoo. They were dressed in traditional garb, and I unfortunately can't remember if they were from Calgary or Lethbridge. My friends literally dragged me away, because they were so musically skilled I'd have stayed until they packed up to leave. If you're in need of fix while visiting your mom, I'm sure you could find where they're performing, since you are far better researcher than I am. Needless to say I enjoyed this video, thanks for making me envious beyond belief.

[@AlinaMcleod]

haha glad you enjoyed it and hope you get to see Zakuro Show when you go!

[@raghavendra4633]

This vlog is so much fun , watching wonderful and fantastic Tokyo. Thanks from India

[@ralfmoll5727]

Hi Alina, Thank You for sharing this stunning experience! I am a little bit jealous 🙂 because I missed the observatory of shibuya sky. Best regards, Ralf

[@AlinaMcleod]

Hope you get to see it next time!

[@ernestconnell8087]

I spent nine months there, several years ago, and enjoyed my time there 👍

[@briannabee812]

Tokyo is a place I have to see now! You look great Alina and seem very happy ❤❤

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

A very fun trip in Tokyo!❤❤

[@kokofoever]

Hokkaido, Niigata, Kanazawa, Sendai and Yamagata are great destinations for your Japan. Yamagata Ginzan Onsen is very rural, but it has the atmosphere of going back in time to the Taisho era.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Would love to go there sometime!

[@RedMapleCanada]

Beautiful tour of Tokyo! I enjoyed the visit to the Buddhist Temple, I visited one near Vancouver recently - they are such special places. Happy travels, Alina! 👍👍

[@gulshaniqbalkhattak8506]

[@AlinaMcleod]

My pleasure!

[@ArtMacasinag]

Just got back from a 6 week trip to Asia including Japan. Great overview of Tokyo. I enjoyed it ! Thanks for sharing.

[@AlinaMcleod]

It can be expensive for certain things, but after being back in Canada... JAPAN WAS SO BUDGET FRIENDLY lol.

[@majorkade]

Great one

[@robertroach1127]

Excellent video Alina, Tokyo is a great city! Your Japan vlogs are making me super nostalgic! I left in 2005 and have lived all over Canada since, the last 3 years in your home province. Tokyo seems like another planet from small town Sask life😂

[@AlinaMcleod]

That's awesome! Thank you so much!

[@Tripreporternet]

Hoi, Alina, super interesting work. Feels like a flashback. Been to Tokyo also, you know, in and out of Narita and Haneda. Well done and Greetings, Markus

[@alonsosonne2908]

[@libork8106]

Alina, I can't believe it, 48 hours ago, with my son we were there, the Temple, the Shibuya crossing, the Skytree, and at the end of the day my favorite "Hard Rock Cafe" Now we are in Kobe, Rokko Island.

[@AlinaMcleod]

That's wonderful! Hope you guys have a great trip!

[@babup2990]

[@sergefoucart7034]

I agree with you and comments below : Tokyo is a fantastic place to be. I love it 99 % 1 % is being in a big train station diring rush hours. Pure hell ! Great parks in Tokyo, the imperial palace, wonderful temples, beautiful museums, a shoppers' paradise, a subway network that takes you everywhere... and the food OMG 😍

[@craig9563]

Wonderful vlog, Alina. I gotta get back to JP (I'm aiming for wintertime - I want to see the snow monkeys and also Mt Fuji.)

[@hicksg100]

Hi Alina. Really love your vids. We too love Tokyo and Japan as a whole. One thing that we were amazed by was the variety, quality and price of the food in Konbinis, Lawson, Family Mart and Seven Eleven. It would be great to maybe see you do a review of these. Japan cops a lot of negativity due to being too expensive but it can be quite cheap to eat by going to Kombini’s and Izakayas. Eat where the locals eat.

[@m.ehtizan]

Hey Alina, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I loved your videos. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you?

[@sundrops9574]

Love this video!! Planning to go to Tokyo in August actually! I noticed that you went to Shibuya Sky, not Tokyo Sky Tree. Shibuya Sky is actually a newer viewpoint than the Sky Tree and they are in totally different areas - Sky Tree is waaaay over in Sumida! Can't wait to go myself!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks. Yes I mentioned I prefer Tokyo Skytree for the higher up views but Shibuya Sky is much better as a downtown center viewpoint.

[@bachelorevil]

Hi, Alina. It’s nice that you speak English slowly and clearly. I’m a 75 year old backpacker living in Osaka. Hope you will come over to my city next.

[@darrellmartin5753]

I was last in Shinjuku in 1982. 1500 yen,-drink all the whiskey you could hold. I could not hold much. Wow, what a difference. Thank you for the tour.

[@mok4927]

Thank you for visiting my country.　But, please allow me to correct one point in this video. In caption 11:50 "Very few people know how to play these traditional instruments anymore", but it's not correct. Those big strings are KOTO, and flute type instruments are SHAKUHACHI. They are one of the most popular Wagakki(＝Japanese traditonal instruments). So, if you want to play those instruments, you can learn how to play them from the next day(or this evening). There are a lot of lesson classes. And There are so many Wagakki clubs in junior high, and high schools.

[@AlinaMcleod]

That's interesting to hear. I've just never seen them played that much anywhere in Japan before.

[@mariak.1752]

​@@AlinaMcleod I'm Japanese and like what Alina says I hardly see anybody playing these instruments.

I just realized the UK is not as heavily populated as I thought. Japan looks a very impressive country and a good experience for the experienced traveller but there seems so little writing in English so I would find it rather alienating and challenging.

[@towada1066]

I kind of prefer non-tourist towns like Monzen-nakacho, Tsukishima and Kameido. The only exception is Ginza (but I just go because I want to buy work clothes from Motoki Ginza).

I thought Shamisen and others were regular cultural practice ? But didnt know they become rare this fast !! Also thankfully God smiled on our Angel and its been a pleasant experience for Alina so far, Hopefully Japan treats you superbly well, especially Shinkansen travel. As compared to the mental torture in metal box in Russia. 🤣🤣😵😵😵‍💫😵‍💫 Dear Lord i would've lost my mind if my daughter went through that, I'd call her home keep her home for a week or 2 give her lots of hugs and her favorite foods. And I dont know what else. 🥺🥺🥺Love from India. 💖💗💖💝💓💝
