Really enjoyed this video. One of the rare ones I've seen that doesn't just list must-see attractions and move on, it actually gave me a feel for what these places are like, and the info is going to come in handy for my trip in September. Thank you!

[@eileensworld]

Thank you for the kind feedback! I hope you have a great time in September

[@wilkowanders]

🙏🏼 Thanks for this video. It was super useful for when we visited Japan I especially loved Shibuya - Such a busy vibrant place with so much to explore! 😍

[@fl2298]

[@cappaman73]

I love Tokyo. My fav city in the world. I see a lot of videos made about things to do there, and most are average.... but yours was Fantastic! Great cross section of things to do and see, food choices and your commentary was awesome. Loved it, and will help many first time visitors to this epic city ❤

[@eileensworld]

Thank you so much for the feedback! Its my favorite city too 😝

[@karinsaki]

This was a great video full of things to do in and around Tokyo along with costs and whether reservations should be made or not. I am taking my 19 yr old daughter in July for the first time and your video gave me some great ideas of things we may want to do!

[@eileensworld]

Thank you so much Karin! What do you both have planned?

I’ll be going to Sensoji Temple around 9AM on Friday, I wonder if the shops will be open by then 🥹 Anw thank you for the video, really helpful!

[@eileensworld]

Oh I hope so! 9am is toooo early so hopefully the will be!

[@aydarsh]

Great list, thank you for sharing!!! There's sooo much to do in Tokyo it is overwhelming to plan it all!

[@eileensworld]

Every corner you turn you find something interesting…there will never be enough time to do it all! It can be overwhelming and I like to make a list of the basics/must see and also allow myself to discover new things while I’m in a certain area/neighborhood

[@JM-od5on]

Great vlog!! Gave me so many ideas for my trip next year 😊

[@tucalicuban]

Your Japan videos are so freaking good. I am going back for the second time this year and you helped me design my itinerary. Quick question; is Komachi street walking distance to the big Buddha or did you have to take a second train to get there?

[@eileensworld]

oh that makes me so happy to hear!!! There is a train station right by at the start of Komachi street and from there is a short train ride and walk to the Buddha statue

[@wandererwalks7327]

wow...fantastic...regards from Croatia

[@eileensworld]

Thank you 🫶🏼

[@shirlyliang4729]

Love you videos, great to watch it before we are heading to Japan next week, a lot of info. Thanks for sharing, just wondering what equipment are you filming?

[@eileensworld]

Hi Shirley, thank you for watching! I am using a DJI Osmo Pocket 2. I am very excited for your Japan trip, have THE BEST time!

[@alexfrenchgirl]

Thanks for this vlog, I am even more excited to go to Japan. Out of curiosity, what sunglasses are you wearing? They look gorgeous on you!

[@eileensworld]

Thank you!! When are you going? They are Saint Laurent Mica 276 sunglasses 😎

Searching for this comment!

[@chibikkotravels]

I see you managed to pack a lot of fun in the 3 days :) Tokyo has so much to offer, it can be overwhelming for tourists to decide what to do.

[@eileensworld]

Tokyo has too much to offer and it will probably take years to see and do it all haha! I was there for 3 weeks (and its my second time) and it’s never enough!

[@chibikkotravels]

@@eileensworld 😂 True. I live here but I still discover something new nearly everyday and i am 100% sure there are areas i have not been to.

[@shantellegatson7205]

[@KrishaMaree]

love the video! Can i ask how long the battery of your camera lasts for when vlogging? :)

[@eileensworld]

Hey Krisha, thank you! I always bring my batter pack to charge my camera. On days when I’m using it a lot, I’ll charge it once. Otherwise, it can last all day if you are not filming tons of footage.

[@ladygadventures4144]

Thank you fot this video. Omg! i CHECKED thr airbnb and its $700+ a night on may 2024. :(

No way 😳. I wonder if something big is going on in Tokyo during that time 🤔.

Enjoying your videos. Can you tell me where the Wagu restaurant Kudara (24.56)?

[@eileensworld]

[@samanthananda4276]

You are so pretty. All the best. I would love to travel to all the places I want to visit and go out everyday to new places. It would mean the world to me and make me so happy to travel all the time. I am 26 years old and stuck in my parents house almost the whole day. I go to therapy twice a week, so depressing. I don’t want to live life like this. I just want to do what makes me happy and traveling all the time/going out everyday to new places will make me happy. I wish you a life full of peace, joy, and positivity. I hope you wish all the same for me ♥️

[@eileensworld]

I am wishing you the same Samantha ❣️thank you for taking the time to leave this comment 🫶🏼

[@marissa9522]

This was the best video ever!!! Did you also use the suisa card?

[@eileensworld]

Thanks girl! 💕I have a pasmo card from my first visit a couple years back which I saved so I didn’t need to get a new card

[@shinkitchen4071]

Very informative video and love your vibes. I’m planning to visit and wanted to know how do you find your activities tickets? Is it Klook or other apps?

[@eileensworld]

Thank you! For team labs I booked through their official website directly since Klook has less availability. For Puroland and Disney parks, it was easier to book on Klook.

[@shinkitchen4071]

@@eileensworld thank you 😊

[@zoiee.m]

This was a great informational guide. I’m going in October and now know what attractions I’m interested in. I did wanna know why you chose Pasmo over the Suica card. Is one more convenient when using the train/subway or it’s just a personal preference?

[@eileensworld]

No specific reason, it was the first one some to us on our first trip in 2019. Pasmo and Suica works the same so it doesn’t matter 🙃. Have fun in October!

[@zoiee.m]

@@eileensworld Ok, thank you so much and I will!!

[@sherylenchoy4983]

Could you share some of your outfits for Japan? Thanks

Hi Sheryl! I’m working on a video about building a capsule wardrobe for traveling. Let me know if you have specific questions on pieces I wore :)

Yes!! I was so impressed!

[@jannorine]

hi! did you just walk from toyosu market to tsukiji outer market?

[@eileensworld]

Hello - I took a bus

[@NorCalHkyplayer]

Great video... I was in Tokyo a few months ago and noticed I was the only one wearing sun glasses also... Didnt see any sunglass shops or for sale in stores .. Does anyone know why its not common to wear sunglasses in japan?

[@eileensworld]

You’re right! I haven’t thought much about that but now that you mention it 🤔 Sunglasses are definitely sold because I saw them in the department stores but maybe no one buys them 😜

[@AylinNaomiii]

Nice Guide! Thank you One question: how much money did you spend per person per day in average for Food? I calculated with 30€ for our upcoming Trip Is that realistic ?

[@eileensworld]

30 euro/day is very doable! There are many affordable options and I found food, in general and in Tokyo to be less inexpensive than most people would expect.

[@AylinNaomiii]

@@eileensworld Great! Thank you for your response! 🫶🏼

[@mariareyes-ku6194]

Which hotels you recommend in this city? Thanks!!

[@eileensworld]

I normally stay in airbnbs but APA is a great chain to check out. I have stayed at Hotel Sunroute Shinjuku and the location was perfect

[@ndeckersightseer]

How easy is it to get the 100 Yen coins? I know the atm at places like Lawsons work for cash but how low of a denomination? Thanks for your Tokyo video. Planning to go next spring

[@eileensworld]

If you go to an arcade, there’s always a machine to break your change. The machines will accept 1000 yen bills and 500 yen coins.

[@ndeckersightseer]

@@eileensworld Great tip! Thank you!

[@TrainerEevee1]

Hello amazing video this honestly give me plenty of ideas for octorber this years but could I ask a question Have you ever stayed in the intercontinental tokyo bay hotel and if you have how was it Also sounds daft but I'm full of tattoos do you think I'll have problems getting into places thankyou

[@eileensworld]

Hi Trainer Eevee! I’ve never stayed there but I always use google reviews (always go to recent reviews) before I book any hotel so checking that will give you a good sense of the hotel. Regarding tattoos, I don’t have much experience. From what I know, you may have issues at a bathhouse/onsen. Thank you for leaving a comment and for watching my video! Tokyo will blow your mind!

[@TrainerEevee1]

@eileen's world far as I can tell it get 4 half stars and 5 stars with great reviews but never encountered any one that's been and awesome thanksyou for the reply

I thought from April this year you didn't need a negative covid test or 3 vacinations to travel there? Or do you need it to travel within Japan?

I went in late March when it was still required

Hello, do you have a link to the airbnb?

[@sielepare]

How do you like the DJI Pocket Camera? If this was filmed on it, the quality is very good for the small camera omg ! I've been thinking about getting one.

[@eileensworld]

Yes! I love the camera, I’ve had it for almost 2 years and use it a lot. compact for traveling and it’s discreet. 100% recommend.

[@sielepare]

@@eileensworld that's EXACTLY why i wanted it, it's not as intimidating in public to have, packs easily bc it is so small, and the quality is *chef kiss* thank youuuuu 🤍

[@eileensworld]

People will see you using it in public will be curious about what the small device is, so you may still get some attention 🤣 To note, I had very good customer experience with DJI. I dropped it once (my fault), was ready to just pay for the repair, so I sent it in and they just replaced the entire thing.

[@sielepare]

@@eileensworld oh wow that's amazing! i've def decided to get it. it just makes sense! thank you for the info it's super helpful to hear how someone else loves it, I've heard nothing but good things from everyone who has it

Eileen, Greetings.. it’s my 1st time to travel to Tokyo Japan.. we’re staying at Otani Hotel..I think it’s near Shibuya Crossing..we’ll be staying in Tokyo for 4 days.. which is the way to see Mount Fuji? Do I have to ride the train or Bus..any significant places or sceneries you can suggest to see..am enjoying your jet setting..

[@eileensworld]

Your first trip to Tokyo 🥹 I only saw Mt. Fuji from the train 😛 but my husband and MIL went on a day trip to Hakone to see Mt. Fuji. That will require a train ride and some bus trips once you get there. Unfortunately, it was cloudy the day they went so they didn’t get any good views of Mt. Fuji. My gf also went to Hakone and the feedback I got from both is that the bus rides are crowed, limited trips, and not very well organized. I would recommend you search day trip to Hakone or join a day trip tour group to Hakone from Tokyo. Safe travel!

Are kids allowed in the Asahi beer?

[@eileensworld]

Yes they are, like a normal restaurant

[@ATrain-br3uj]

Are there ways to check which otter cafes are humane? There's a growing case of otters being trafficked in Japan due to social media and tourism and kept in inhumane conditions.

[@eileensworld]

I am not a animal welfare expert and can only share my experience. The otters were very playful and it looked like the employees there really care about them.

[@zoesmith9422]

@@eileensworld Instead of saying you're not an expert maybe you should've researched how inhumane animal cafes are before you gave them your money and supported them. It doesn't take an expert to do that.
