Travel Update from Roppongi Tokyo's Richest Town, New Japan Tallest Building Azabudai Hills Ep.445

[@christycpark]

This is one of my favorite place on this trip! Beautiful scenery of Tokyo tower background at night. Tks for the video. Let’s keep walking!

[@mojojowan]

Tokyo Tower at night is really magnificent ❤️✨

[@myownpolaris]

Japan has always been my happy place and I get to relive happy memories through your videos. Thank you so much. Never fails to brighten my day!

[@laurielum378]

Mahalo for the guidance in the video. We went last night and it was awesome. Very crowded but we enjoyed the illumination and views of the tower.

[@paripitiffany]

So fun to experience so many things virtually through this video that I could not IRL-eat yodaredori (grew up on non-spicy Cantonese food, but I love spicy 🔥), sanpo around Tokyo Midtown (zoomed past on my way to the National Art Center ☕️), biking in the city (parents never took off my training wheels 😅), and try that holiday Starbucks drink (been busy, but I will thanks to gift cards from my students 🎄). Thank you for capturing & sharing these beautiful Christmas lights, especially for those of us who cannot travel to Tokyo during this season. ✨

[@mojojowan]

Starbucks Japan has a good and a lot of options, most specially on their tea lattes! (Also, they have an Almond Milk as one of their non-dairy milk options!!! I’m sooo happy ✨)

[@paripitiffany]

@@mojojowan Starbucks Japan is on a whole other level of meccha oishii. 🥹☕️

[@mojojowan]

@@paripitiffany so true!!! Did you visit the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo? If I’m already in love with the regular Starbucks Japan, that place made my love for Starbucks Japan even deeper! My friends and I had an ✨awesome✨experience there👌❤️

[@paripitiffany]

@@mojojowan I didn’t 😢 Maybe I will during sakura season, sitting outside on the balcony while watching them 🌸 I’m so happy for you! I wanna know more about it! 💖

[@mojojowan]

@@paripitiffany oh! That’s the perfect season to go there since it’s located along the Meguro River! 😃 You’ll have a perfect spot for sakura viewing 🌸✨

[@angeliquepioroda3028]

Nice to see you, Rion! All the best! 😊

[@mojojowan]

6:21 Yes, that’s a spider sculpture. Maman Spider Sculpture to be exact and it was made by Louise Bourgeois in honor of her mother. 😊 I went to the Mori Art Museum to check the sky view deck observatory but unfortunately it’s closed until further notice 😭 As always, thank you so much for sharing this episode to us. Tokyo’s Illumination shows/events are really on point 👍✨ Take care and God bless! 😊 🙏

[@paripitiffany]

Thank you for this info! 🤓 So sorry to hear it was closed… 😔 Glad you made it to the Salon de Thé Rond! 💖

[@mojojowan]

@@paripitiffany I’m also soooo happy that finally I made it to the Salon de The Rond ❤️❤️❤️

[@sheepysauce]

Been watching your videos since 2020, happy to see at least one viewer recognize you in each of your videos recently. I'm so proud!

[@djc2k2k]

Thanks! We will be here after Christmas before year's end. Looks like the Christmas light show will be over; hopefully, there will still be plenty of beautiful lights. It will be my 3rd trip to Japan this year😎

[@ksenijacizek5901]

Wow, Roppongi and Azabudai Hills, what a feast for eyes. First of all the architecture is great, especially the new highest building in Japan, but above all everything decorated by so many artistic pieces - I remember the Spider from your earlier video. For me the outside is more intetesting, the inside is as usual - typical for shopping malls. Especially nice are various leveles in the garden used for cafes outdoors and strolling around while using stairs. It must be really enjoyable, even in November when you have a daily 20°C. Your lunch at the Chinese Restaurant was thanks haevan not too spicy and the view overlooking the Tokyo Tower was astonishing. Really, it might be said that the fancy vibe of the city is everywhere. I am not supprised that Dior uses it for advertising purposes. The lightening of the Tokyo Midtown was great as ever. Especially the look from the bridge over the street was captivating. What a pleasure to stroll with you there at night. I am sorry that you were freezing a bit while enjoying your ginger coffee at the terrace, due to the wind and nightly temperature drop. I have to repeat it over and over - just a stunning video! We, as regular viewers, have been generally spoiled by your hard work making it a standard quality level, so we cannot expect anything less than that, dear Rion. Therefore, there is nothing left to us but to keep on walking happily with you into new advenures. GAAOOO!!

[@happyhuang9541]

6:43 Urban the luxurious atmosphere of Roppongi Hills 😎👍. 8:26 I like these wooden ones so much, they are so exquisitely made🧐👍! 9:20 ~G🦁Ö~👏! 9:56 beautiful Mohri garden 12:57 Chinese food, spicy steamed chicken 😋👍! 20:33 There are restaurants and professional shops in Azabudai Hills😍👏. 26:48 Rion’s favorite HARBS cake brand, be sure to try it😋👍! 27:50 beautiful night view! 31:02 Not bad, 650JPY, delicious and filling food 😉👍! 33:23 😯 such a cool piano is not played by anyone, it’s a pity😌! 35:51 wow! beautiful LED lights light up the whole street 😍👍! 38:25 drinking a cup of hot Starbucks limited gingerbread coffee on a cold day is perfect😋! Thank you so much Rion for letting us go see the noble 📍Ronppongi Hills~📍Azabudai Hills~📍Tokyo Midtown 🤝!

[@vhyleung]

I didn't have time to go to Roppongi during my trip to Tokyo last week, so great to virtual travel. Cheers, Rion! :)

[@markvader8083]

Another great video Rion. Mahalo!

[@agylub]

The NCAT gallery was the highlight of two weeks in Japan. Roppongi was a knockout. I have seen more Maybachs in 5 days than in my lifetime. Stood on that spot last week. It’s a knockout.

[@purpleglasses731]

Loving all of the biking segments in your recent videos! Those shots are lovely. I wonder if you hold your cam with one hand while biking, or do you let it chill in the basket? 🤔 😊 Keep up the awesome winter adventures. Lets keep walking 🎉

[@_EnEm_]

'Tis the season to be jolly on the 1st day of December! Such a beautiful Mori garden, a relaxing place to visit one day. Oh, a must-try ginger bread coffee! Nice Azabudai hills biking tour at night!😊

[@elliefrew3429]

Uears ago, after visiting the awesome art museum in Roppongi, I was really hungry. I went on my own into a fancy restaurant and felt so out of place in my travel clothes amd casual shoes. I didnt know much Japanese at the time, and ordered a salad. This enormous bowl of salad arrived all for me, and I realised it was like a sharing sized bowl. I was embarrassed. The waiter was embarrassed for me. I just sat in this mostly empty posh restaurant eating the salad. Hahahaaa.

[@ajbarrett2360]

First. Hi rion love the video!

[@RionIshida]

👍👍👍

[@dennistani1986]

Rion, thank you for showing us more areas of Tokyo!! I plan on coming up in the next month or so. Take care.

[@aibao_eipariru_april]

I don’t think I’ve ever related to you so much as with this video Rion 😅 “very fancy, look at this fancy thing. I think I can live off of this necklace for years…” Yes that is a nice version of all I can think about in Roppongi Hills and TM 😅😂 I feel so uncomfortable there.

[@RomanticCity.]

Absolutely stunning tour of Roppongi Hills! The cityscape are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this captivating experience with us! 🌃🚶‍♂✨

[@joyjoyz778]

I'm going this Saturday and Roppongi is where my hotel is 😊 so excited to visit Japan for the first time

[@tns-rox]

So many beautiful views of Tokyo. I want to visit Roppongi Hills one day. Arigatougozaimasu, Rion. 👍

[@garydell2023]

[@zennoodle]

Interesting hearing you speak mandarin! What you said translates literally to "No spicy peppers." 😁 Would love to hear you speak more Mandarin for fun! Love this video. Let's keep going! 555!

[@tf2demonslayer]

I Feel like I am really there how amazing!

[@downrivermoviecompany]

この辺りのライトアップも素敵だけど、東京タワーのライトアップが一番印象的だった。 なんて象徴的な建造物なんだ！🙂

[@Archangelicajul]

i studied japanese (through anime and language school) but never use it. now i 復習 (don’t know the word in english) because i will be going to japan on dec 18! hope i can meet you!

[@tacosaurusmex]

Enjoyed the video! Looking forward to more Chirstmas videos! :)

[@beanoyip06]

We were staying at akasaka and wandered into Roppongi, suddenly everything felt expensive.😂

[@RionIshida]

😂

[@ShibaHamamatsucho]

Living in Akasaka is more expensive than Roppongi usually.

[@alexandernye]

I'm really looking forward to exploring the new Azubadai Hills building. Was there any news of the TeamLab Borderless Exhibition opening? It says Early February 2024 but tickets are not on sale yet.

[@pamelagordon869]

Morning Rion love you ❤❤❤

[@gavinong8329]

OMG your Chinese pronunciation is spot on! Impressive!

[@SS-wk1kb]

we went there last night and the LV spot was crazy , everyone accidentally pushing each other taking the tower shots with lighting tree

[@RB-zm4fk]

Lol Filipino food is the same! Took me a while to get used to eating spicy food. Also drink milk if it gets too hot 🔥

[@userworldwide]

Hi Rion! Just an idea, could you do a video on birthday special deals (Restaurants/parks etc.) when in Japan (Osaka/Tokyo)? Thank you!!

[@michiganwannarbor3255]

I definitely got lost leaving the Tokyo metro Roppongi station and ended up at the Tokyo Art Center somehow.

[@mareetorres286]

Hi Rion am planning to visit Japan May 2023 is that a good time to visit?

[@presiej]

may I suggest you to decrease the volume of background music, I love your videos it is so good quality and beneficent for me who planned to travel to Tokyo soon, so it's just minimum request from your new little viewer who found your magnificent channel recently and became the fan of your. 😊😍

[@MilkIsASauceTV]

Are the coin locker prices per hour or per day?

[@Nature_with_Peter_Kane]

Good question

[@Nature_with_Peter_Kane]

I would have to guess per day or else it would be so expensive for 24 hrs

[@catmi3068]

I am Chinese from HK. My parents are from Canton. Cantonese food is not spicy at all. Chinese in different part of China has very spicy food but Cantonese food is definitely not spicy. I speak Cantonese and not what you spoke in the film Mandarin.

[@lliving4today]

The spider is work by Louise Bourgeois and represents a mother's protective love of her child

[@lchen2522]

Chinese food in the south, Cantonese speaking areas including Hong Kong, is not spicy. In the north and west, Chinese food of those areas are on the spicy side. As a Cantonese person, I’m also not great with super spicy food.

[@dereksbooks]

I think that most Japanese people would consider even some Cantonese dishes spicy 😂

[@wakakaforever007]

Even plain rice is spicy for Rion😂😂
