Tokyo’s biggest electronic store | Yodobashi-Akiba store in Akihabara

[@r.msyiem]

Back in the 80s nobody dominates the electronics market like the Japanese all over the world brands like Sharp,Sanyo,Akai,Hitachi,National,Sony and many others what a sight to see the products of these companies in those days now all we see are the substandard Chinese products which is a gamble when you buy one

[@CerroZimm]

You mean substandard trend setting products from Huawei, DJI, Xiaomi? ROFL, get out of your cave and go to get some medication. I bet you are using a substandard Chinese products to post a comment on this youtube video too, wow what a gamble. Having a good education is important. Always.

[@absurdlyawesome5101]

You better start throw away anything that’s made in China in your house. Put your money where your mouth is.

[@thamaraipoo-rj3eo]

all are made in china...

[@damianrobinson422]

That jingle, could not get that out of my head FOR years

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

I didn't realize that Japanese stores did this until I went to a few. Why do they feel the need to play jingles in their stores? Loll

[@damianrobinson422]

@@legoboy-ox2kx because they can. It makes you come back and spend money. Go in with head phones to block it out. They advertise like they do on their tv shows.

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

@@damianrobinson422 I get that, but I haven't heard that kind of thing really anywhere in the US, except maybe Walmart? I don't know if that counts, since it's just the Walmart radio thing that plays occasionally like any other radio station

[@damianrobinson422]

@@legoboy-ox2kx they was playing 2pac in an old lady clothing store not realizing what they are listening to. We had to tell them this was not good for thier stores image. They laughed and changed to jazz. They just do it. American just lets you do your thing. Some stores play music. Some dont. Just the way it is.

[@bf61marc35]

I've been there. Also must be nice that no one comes in and shoplifts everything like they do in San Francisco and many places in the US

[@murysusanto4299]

I visited there 2 weeks ago and makes me want to come back to Japan anytime. I had a few hours exploring and still isn't enough. I think it will take an entire day from the store open until closes to understand their inventory

[@TonyWillTravel]

I like the one in Osaka if you ever get a chance to go back to Japan. That location has many other stores inside. It is next to Osaka station, very cool place!

[@TokioZarka]

I visited Yodobashi at the end of the last year and bought a macbook in the first store it showed, they gave me a huge discount for it. Yodobashi itself is immense, definitely a must if you visit Akihabara

[@red2]

I was there the day it opened. There were massive queues and once inside its was jammed packed... people were mostly browsing as the prices are kind of high. The cheapest places are the back streets box outlets.

[@Lee-vo7dl]

Thank you for your efforts. Enjoyed it very much.

[@TonyWillTravel]

Thank you for watching 🙂

[@MithunOnTheNet]

Heaven! I spent hours here back in 2015!

[@marineboy4622]

I went to this store in 2019. The model kit section is huge and the prices are really good.

[@TonyWillTravel]

Have you been to the one in Osaka? Their plastic model kits section is huge! They have many planes, army vehicles, ships and many more.

[@FidesAla]

There’s a Yodobashi (or Bic Camera or usually both) by almost every major station by the way.

[@HikikomoriDev]

Very nice. Maybe I will be able to find a Casio Loopy on a second hand market somewhere nearby ;)

[@alexb.1320]

Wow, the sheer variety of products, just overwhelming. Looks like pricing is similar to prices here in Canada on a lot of things.

[@sujoynandi1]

Just visited last week this store is massive and epic

[@TonyWillTravel]

It is massive! Have you been to the one in Osaka? It’s also huge and you have different shops on the other side of Yodobashi on each floor. You can definitely spend a lot of time there.

[@iownu92]

Was surprised to see them selling new cassette players and FM radios. Especially having them on display

[@xsgianni]

thanks for this tour!!

[@TonyWillTravel]

My pleasure! I hope you enjoyed it. There will be more about other electronic stores and arcades in Tokyo and Osaka.

[@xsgianni]

@@TonyWillTravel yes! I enjoyed it so much! I was there in akihabara some years ago,and you reminded me those wonderful times! Thanks!

[@koei88kr]

japanese wisky and 1:34 noctua cooler very impresive

[@mussim2919]

I want to go to Japan and see everything over there. It's a dream for me.

[@xanshark]

Wow. If I ever go to Japan I'm definitely checking this place out.

[@TonyWillTravel]

You should! There’s another big one in Osaka if you ever go there as well

[@rahulgarg2241]

Very nice. Please show many types of market. Bags shops, Readymade market, Jewelry store, Kitchen wares, etc. Please show if you can do tools and machinery market and addresses for us. We want JAPANESE tools and machinery technology information. Thank you

[@TonyWillTravel]

I will! Thanks for your comment, it’s very appreciated 🙂

[@scotthancock46]

I wish the electronics section at target was like this!😢

[@TonyWillTravel]

I am going to publish another video about another store like Yodobashi this week. Japan has manu stores where you can spend hours browsing for all kind of stuff like electronics, appliances which are not available in North America and many other sections.

[@mitchongtv3882]

why did you skip the nintendo area?

[@soteful9949]

That announcement would drive me mad if I worked there.

[@nirvana4698]

Amazing video. Thanks

[@TonyWillTravel]

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I really appreciate it! 🙂

[@nirvana4698]

​​​@@TonyWillTravel you know if this mall sells cheaper price than Amazon Japan? Is there a way i can check price on their website? That way i can compare price with my home country price.

[@TonyWillTravel]

I believe most of the items are more expansive but I could be wrong. I’ve shopped here a couple of times over the years but only for small items. Some of the electronics are Japanese language only, so keep that in mind.

[@nirvana4698]

@@TonyWillTravel oh.. language is another problem which i dint think of.. I thought companies like sony products like camera, playstation or fujifilm etc since Japan is its origin, perhaps it would be much cheaper compared to other countries just like samsung products are cheaper in S Korea..

[@TonyWillTravel]

Again, I could be wrong but I’ve seen items such as cameras with no other language option than Japanese. I believe it is called “region locked”. I will investigate further on my next trip to Japan.

[@iboxp1486]

I was this year accidentally there.. It is mega big... But they dont have f.... Railroad crossing sign!!!

[@chaosordeal294]

Well, one of those setups was for a very niche audience.

[@chaosordeal294]

I hope

[@trevorwhitham6742]

Oh brio is still a thing last time I got brio was when I was 6 I believe

[@HomeFamilyVedios]

which camera did you use to record ?

[@TonyWillTravel]

Hi there, sorry for the delay. I used an iPhone in this video

[@felixmotanul5242]

Hi, I'm curious. Can you find there, something Made in China?

[@Denigor197]

I was in the Osaka one today. They do stock lots of TP Link gear which is China / HK.

[@damianrobinson422]

I spent a full 8 hours there. Holly shit.

[@lareinachannel3135]

please change your camera 😵‍💫

[@thebongtraveller1643]

Mentioning product prices would have been more helpful

[@TonyWillTravel]

I will next time. Never thought about it. Thanks for the advice! 😊

[@damianrobinson422]

That place and donkeyhote😊

[@amaz_yt9214]

Hey, Did you have to obtain special privileges to film inside the store?

[@1andtheOnly]

Going to Japan and buying an iphone is like going to a gun shop and buying a table knife 🤦

[@8uoo5]

So many money left here 😭😭😭

[@JaneMetcalfe]

Wow, this makes Currys look a bit tame!🤣

[@DavidThomas-fb8bq]

Do they sell electric unicycles ?

[@yjyjyhkul]

[@MaxW-er1hm]

Maybe it's just me but I'd prefer more commentary or subtitles

[@TonyWillTravel]

I appreciate your feedback, I will definitely add more commentary/subtitles in my next videos starting this Fall. Thank you for your time!

[@derricknaylor5129]

That music had to have gotten annoying haha amazing store though!

[@TonyWillTravel]

I actually think it’s part of the whole experience :)

[@killAgram070]

there's too much choice imo

[@TonyWillTravel]

They definitely have a large variety of all kind of items

[@user-zn1db9fe5w]

The bigger store have bigger prices so no thx

even though their country science grew fast than others but they still can't find a way to stop the future earthquake.........and this call karma

[@isamuominae]

Erthquakes can't be stopped moron, same apply to volcanos or typhoons around the globe. You should try read books and reduce your massive ignorance, will be good for you.

[@lihihongan5289]

I ….N E V E R purchase any electronic from Japan, same item, if you google it, it is alway cheaper back in the state…it,s fun to browse it, but don’t buy it there…

[@Smile_77]

저도 일본 전자 제품을 최고로 치던 시기가 있었지만 지금은 갈라파고스화된 사양산업일 뿐이죠. 한국은 물론이고 중국 제품에도 뒤지고 있죠. 동양의 속담에 ‘빈수레가 요란하다’는 말이 있습니다. 디스플레이한 모습을 보면 딱 맞는 표현같습니다.

[@loveaintfree1409]

핵심부품은 다 일제입니다 ㅋㅋ

[@allentoyokawa9068]

You are so clueless and a fool

[@allentoyokawa9068]

they are far ahead of cheap korean/chinese junk.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

I know you are jealous, but that does NOT change the fact

[@GeoBob-xf3hh]

lmao not even close everyone knows Japanese electronics are by far the best.. expensive but still the best! Far more reliable than China/Korea products!

[@Smile_77]

다른 유튜버 영상을 봐도 그렇게 일본의 전자상점들은 왜 이렇게 시끄럽죠?!

[@allentoyokawa9068]

Because they are better than cheap korean stores

[@isamuominae]

nobody is forcing watch those videos, stay watching the same boring footage of korean stores.
