So many recommendations in one video, it's really amazing! ❤ The links are extra helpful for planning the trip. Harajuku and Shibuya are two of the areas I'm most excited to visit. 🥰

[@samurai_junjiro]

Shibuya and Harajuku are perfect for shopping and sightseeing, so they're recommended places to visit in Tokyo!

[@henrymatos9551]

Wow, so many fun things to do and delicious food to eat! Have to try that Gelato. Definitely I must visit Hachikō in the morning then afterwards walk around the area. Thank you for the video.

1:20 I say this with love, as Akanemaru's English is amazing and I know that my Japanese will never reach an equivalent level- but the 'a' in "cocoa" is actually silent and is pronounced like ココ. I just wanted to mention it since you talk about food so much! Thank you both again!

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for your comment!

Arigatoo ❤❤❤ When I get there, I'll have a pocket wifi so I'll make sure to go back to this video for guidance 😍👍

Thank you😆!!

[@CommonRiderCassie]

I love your channel and your videos! I'm sad to see that Domise is already permanently closed when this was just uploaded?! What a bummer!

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! Stores in Shibuya and Harajuku often close down, only to be quickly replaced by others, so it's a good idea to know the latest information before your trip :)

[@UmmYeahOk]

Kura Sushi is a great place, but it’s an international chain. Like, there’s several in Dallas of all places. Wikipedia says they’re currently 61 locations in the US. Since the yen is down, it may be more affordable in Japan, but it’s expensive back home. Those little $4 plates add up. Then again, you rarely have to wait for dinner. Like 5 minutes max.

[@samurai_junjiro]

The sushi crepe is a Harajuku store exclusive, so it's worth trying!

[@UmmYeahOk]

⁠@@samurai_junjiro​​⁠we found a pretty good all you can eat place, but was expensive. We turned down Kura simply on the grounds that we had one back home, and the belief that it would be just as expensive. After realizing later how much cheaper it is in Japan, and the lack of tipping culture, it probably would have been worth it, if no line. Our experience dining was mostly based on how quick we could get a table. We had great success finding random hidden places, either by taking hidden stairs, or going down what I called “shady back alleys” but clearly had store fronts, just significantly less people. The downside was that since tourists seem to avoid these areas for some reason, the staff don’t really speak English, but we were still able to order, and have an excellent meal with little to no wait during peak dining hours.

[@zebralb]

I just love your videos! Do you know if the Hands in Shinjuku offers the engraving service on pens, etc.?

[@samurai_junjiro]

Glad to hear that! Thank you♪ Yes, there is also a service at HANDS in Shinjuku where they can engrave chopsticks and pens :)

[@zebralb]

@@samurai_junjiro Thank you so much. I am writing down eating and shopping places to visit when I go to Japan next month.

watching this while hungry was a mistake 😂

Haha! Thank you for watching our video!

[@OriharaKaoru]

@@samurai_junjiro it also helped very much with the trip i'm planning in december - thank you!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

You missed the Sailor Moon store! 😆

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Love your videos by the way

[@samurai_junjiro]

Oh, I didn't know about that! Where is it?

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

@@samurai_junjiro Inside of LaForet in Harajuku. They just renovated it!

[@ha-danhuynh1185]

I think my teens kids will find their "happiness" in these 2 places, they will take 1000 pix for their friends! Do you have a place in Tokyo to buy funny car magnets for souvenirs? Thanks a lot.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! I'm not sure if they have car magnets, but places like Asakusa have typical Japanese magnets and souvenirs for sale :)

[@sujoygupta2922]

Haha, my heart broke a little when you mentioned a place called CAT STREET 😸😸😸😸😸😸...and then said it was lined with fashion stores 😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿. I was expecting you to say "...where you can see lots of lazy cats just hanging around. As multi-layered as Tokyo is in terms of things that are interesting, I'm most likely going to only visit Tsukiji outer market, that riceball stand you've mentioned a few times, and them whisk myself off to my closest capsule hotel. As you can tell, I'm not that adventurous. That's why I watch YOUR videos.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Yes, there are no cats on Cat Street... haha It's a famous spot in Tokyo known for its trendy vibe. We hope our video makes you feel like you're traveling!

[@tekoeko]

[@UmmYeahOk]

So I apparently had no idea about “I’m donut?” I somehow showed up there 10 days ago, and even took a picture because I thought it was funny. “I’m donut?” …like, they’re not sure what they sell. Are they asking me? The engrish is humorous too. There was no line though, just a sign that said “everything is sold out today” with people still there, working. So in my mind, “I’m donut?” “Nope. No you aren’t.” This was about 5:30pm, if anyone was wondering. No idea when the sign went up though.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! Yes, the name of that donut shop is definitely unique. It's always popular with long lines!

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@samurai_junjiroNow I’m wondering if it’s a response to the phrase “You are what you eat.” “I’m donut?” If that’s all you eat, then I guess so.

[@Torntoshine]

Sukuna vs gojo in Shinjuku right now?

[@samurai_junjiro]

Jujutsu Kaisen? Sorry, I’m not familiar with it, because I haven’t seen it😅

[@hannesRSA]

I wish there was a 'least popular' list for those who won't wait more than 5 minutes.

[@samurai_junjiro]

We want to share great places😅But thank you for your comment!

[@hannesRSA]

@@samurai_junjiro yea I understand (a little). I think good places start affordable, then it gets famous, but then it's too much effort to wait if it's only a bit better, and next it will be overpriced if tourists follow each other.

[@stefficousins7270]

It says that Don Quijote is permanently closed :(

Domise has closed, but Don Quijote is still there :)

I went to that specific Kiddyland on a Wednesday evening, during what was supposed to be offpeak season, and it was just a continuous line of people that barely moved. It was worse than Takeshita-dori! At least that wall of people constantly moves.

[@samurai_junjiro]

We went right after they opened on a weekday, and it wasn't too crowded. But there were a few people waiting for it to open. It might get busier in the evening.

[@kklchau]

Why would anyone want ice bits texture in their soft serve icecream?

[@sujoygupta2922]

It's surprisingly pleasant. Not like the freezer-burn version we sometimes experience with our own ice cream from the freezer after it's been there for 3 months 🤣🤣

[@tokisaki_Kurumi_Xo]

Where is Gojo?

[@samurai_junjiro]

Gojo? Which part?😶

[@tyboty_4840]

Kitkat.

[@CronkiteSwanhart]

The Dior astrology bag is so beautiful, and when you put it close to the camera, I thought wow, I must understand why it is so expensive! And I've always wanted a classic Chanel flip top *luxdups*
