24 Hours in Tokyo | Japan Budget Travel Guide

Marko makes a pit stop in Tokyo for 24 hours on his way to Hokkaido, Japan. Tokyo is the biggest city in the world and a single day is not much time to see it all. So he decides to explore the city on foot, neighborhood by neighborhood.

[@mansoureh]

Japan is top of my list.

[@szymonzielinski7160]

I miss Japan. Visit Osaka, Kyoto and Himeji Castle. In Japan, you can easily fall in love. The best country I've ever been to.

[@dcal4455]

I've was there about a 1 and a half ago. I fell in love with Tokyo

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

When are you planning to go?

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

@@szymonzielinski7160 It really is such an amazing place! We went during sakura.

[@mansoureh]

@@MillennialTravelConfessions Haven't planned yet

[@NatureSmarter]

Marko AND Japan in one video?! Yes please!♡

[@TurnItUpWorld]

We are definitely adding Japan to one of our destinations.

[@EVARGAS1EDISONEDU]

I was in Japan for two weeks a couple years ago. This video really brings back memories, and I really want to go back. Thanks

[@driven_films]

Japan. No other place like it on Earth!

[@LisaontheFly]

Ahhhhh I loved watching this video! Brings back so many great memories from when I traveled there in 2017. I need to go back soon. The people and the food are so amazing.

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

*Love* *the* *video* *Marko!* Tokyo looks so eclectic and beautiful. So excited to visit soon (fingers crossed).

[@abbieful95]

Aww, Hachikō! The story behind that statue is too sweet! ♥️

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Nice to see other areas of Tokyo. Thanks for the tour! I'll definitely check it out when I get a chance to visit.

[@PrabaththeExplorer]

OMG. Wow you guys makes me to go Japan soon. Who else want to go Japan this Year. 😍😍

[@pierceanderson3976]

Maybe hopefully in 2 years?

[@TurnItUpWorld]

We are definitely adding Japan to one of our stops. Prabath..who knows we all might end up there at the same time. Sounds like a PARTAY!! LOL

[@andgainingspeed]

Tokyo is the ultimate megalopolis. It just goes on and on. No green zones between the wards. It is a world class city everyone should visit if they can visit. Thumbs up for knocking out all the usual spots in one day while still having time to get salaryman drunk. Looking forward to the Hokkaido video.

[@cmediaproductions226]

Love this! Thank you for posting!

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

We spent over a month in Tokyo but your guide is still brilliant so we're pinching tips from you! 😁

[@JohannyM]

Great video Marko, you guys always make the best travel videos. Japan looks so amazing! I can not wait to go, i'll be there this summer and will be VLogging my trip :)

[@emckethern]

The second time you went to dinner looked great. I liked how everyone was having a great time hammered.

[@sofall9057]

Thanks for the motivation. I'm off planning my two week japan trip now. 23 days until Tokyo 😁

[@colinmurphyactor]

Japan is definitely on my list 👌

[@ItsJayCross319]

Like I already didn't want to visit Japan enough, great video guys!

[@IanPaulSaligumba]

[@letsridesomeplanesd3534]

Japan is so amazing, keep it up!

[@ToastedCigar]

I like your approach to exploring the city!

[@stevencassidy6982]

Japan is appealing more and more. I could do on a two week Japan rail pass. It tends to be the favourite place of those who visit

[@jeffdale1828]

Making my first trip in July, really excited.

[@romanmayer13]

More Japan!! :) lovin it

[@GaboyNatienAustralia]

"Tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna". I think i like this channel 👍🏼. Also Nakameguro is awesome, and I love how you said walking through the neighbourhoods was something you highlight, that is the most japanese experience you can get, it's just raw and real

[@mrduboisthegreat]

Great video I’m there in June!!!! Thanks!!!

[@thepiddlingpicker6623]

Well done....thank you.

[@Underneaththebottle]

More content like this!

[@hicksnumber89]

I leave for Japan for a year in a couple months. Your videos have definitely helped me find some destinations i'll be going to!

[@Norahvr]

Good summary for Tokyo even in 24 hours !!!!

[@user-tn8gr9yh8x]

looking forward to the following clip!

[@arisamameda]

OMG I miss sushi so much and that tuna plate looked soooooo delicious!! Hope you enjoyed your stay :)

[@BenCG]

Nice one Marko! You could've gone up Mori Tower in Roppongi before the izakaya to get the best view of the city on a helipad called the Sky Deck to really top off a day in my favourite city! I've got lots of videos from Japan if you feel like stopping by for some inspiration, though I've not done Hokkaido yet. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@amimochimochi]

Omg! Welcome to Hokkaido! I'm glad that you traveled to my homeland. I hope you enjoyed it and come back again soon :)

[@alisamehmal7234]

Naturally your first stop is a book store. Excited for the next video 👍❄️🏂🏔️❄️♥️🇨🇦

[@emilyrose5282]

I have a 30 day trip planned for Japan in May. Super excited! I'm spending 8 days in Tokyo, almost entirely due to the food. There is so many cafe's and items I want to try that you can only find in Tokyo.

[@misstrinnie0750]

I haven’t been to most of the places you have been to even though it will be my third time going back there. Japan has so much things to see and do. One of my favourite countries.

[@ToriandNathanTravel]

Wow, Tokyo looks amazing. You should do some more vlogs where you stay longer. One day isn't enough!

[@TurnItUpWorld]

YAS! Tori and Nate we totally agree. Such a beautiful place. They did a great job but totally want to see more. Well we are definitely adding Japan to our list of travels.

[@djramz3]

Haha laughed so much when he said he got lost in metro, exact same thing happened when i first landed in Tokyo trying to use the metro.One of my best holidays, only did 10 days in Tokyo and still feel that I barely saw anything and could have seen much more as it’s so big and so much to do. Highly recommend people going there even, magically city

[@cal.creates]

Love that you guys still shred powder! This is a nice new pace from your usual stuff too. Also, heads up, we featured you in our latest episode (Best Travel Vloggers).

[@travelcentaur644]

Your travel videos never disappoint

[@alexasperin6278]

NICE!!!

[@erikamyty]

OMG when you first said coffee shop, I immediately thought of the cafe that you went to!! I love that place. and you bumped into Finn!! so jealous

[@chasingadeline]

Wow love Tokyo

[@SandraPotisek]

Japan is such a fascinating country! Hope I can make it there soon. :)

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

100% put it on your list 😁

[@Herb615]

Toyko looks like the NYC of East Asia. Such a wonderful, yet crowded, city.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Surprisingly, we found some really quiet spots in Tokyo!

[@technoleo9]

Arigato Gosaimasu! This will be perfect for planning my to Japan (soonTM)

[@medhavigupta6146]

You had me at the fact that this place has books AND is clean and organized.

Welcome to Japan! Spend more time here please!

[@AyonikaDutta]

Japanese architecture is top notch !

[@lucasamarir2719]

I love Japan so much

[@WatOno]

Vaga Brothers in Japan! (oh wait, is it Vaga Brother since its only Marko?) Welcome to Tokyo! I was amazed by how Marko illustrated each cities' vibe with precision. (Like Nakameguro being hipster and Shibuya being Soho-ish)

[@flexworld9720]

I'm seeing your channel from 2015/16 and you grew very well like me and I'm 19 now

[@travel6321]

Its a great Video @vagabrothers 💖 Love Your Videos

Killer vid. Cheers to salarymandrunk. Next time I head for Japan it's definitely to Hokkaido.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks and me too, would love to explore it a lot more.

[@nickandhelmi]

Well documented things to do in Tokyo for 24 hours :) But if you have more time, definitely spend longer time in Tokyo hehe :)

[@LeighAnneMarie]

My friend and I just left Japan, wish this had come out three days sooner haha!
