Walking in Tokyo ( Itabashi)

[@callas60]

i enjoy so much walking together with you.you are not alone.

[@gardengirl91]

Mr Colijn, all your videos make treadmill walking spectacular. Keep them coming. I've walked over 200 miles, mostly with your fantastic KZbin videos.

[@keeziwalks]

gardengirl91 nice

[@leighmackay7486]

My wife and I watched the video from beginning to end with our morning tea and coffee. Time well spent. We feel like we've been there. Even if we went to Tokyo, what are the chances of visiting this wonderfully peaceful and pleasant neighbourhood? The cherry blossoms are coming out, the streets and sidewalks are clean, we did not see any graffiti, we did see that Japanese culture has fully embraced vending machines, bicycles are accommodated and used by people of all ages, air conditioning is in every building, hanging racks for drying laundry are a built-in feature of most residences (electrical energy saving), and people are thoughtful to wear masks if they have a cold and/or protect themselves if they have allergies (this should be a global practice). Thank you for sharing and hello from Vancouver, BC, Canada. :)

[@keeziwalks]

+Leigh MacKay tnx Leigh

[@40vandeventerplacestlouism62]

Leigh MacKay , I did the same , except instead of Tokyo I watch Calcutta !!

[@LaoSoftware]

Japanese people love and respect their homeland. They don't deface or violate their neighborhoods like in America or Europe. So you won't see trash or graffiti on the streets. They keep their country clean and organized.

[@hansxy0]

well i know thats old but just saying that the japanese people dont wear the mask bc of some allergies. they wear it because of the smog from the cars

[@euomu]

Shenob lol of course not, dude. You’re mistaking Japan for China. Japanese people wear masks when they have a cold and don’t want to spread their germs. To some people it just feels safe, some girls wear them because they don’t want to bother too much with make-up

[@mrknowmyself]

Wow, whole country is so tidy and beautifully designed

[@iancrawford9465]

7:16 Beautiful cherry blossoms and a river

[@niteshkrraj62]

Japan is one of my favorite country

[@高等遊民-e9o]

I love walking around Tokyo, especially in residential areas like Setagaya and Suginami. Even in winter, as long as the day is sunny, it makes me relaxing. I love cityscapes of Japan, where relatively old buildings and streets are well maintained and kept clean, as well as the country side where rice fields are beautifully organized. I recommend people from other countries walk around 'normal' places, not only tourist sites or busy areas, when you come vist Japan! Thanks for sharing a nice video!

[@hoanghoatham1856]

Thank to Colijn . Your hard works in travel around the World . You did connect East to West , South to North From the Poorest to the Richest , From the remote countries to the big cities . Wow ! All of Your videos are very sensations . I am very appreciated to all of your works . Thanks again .

[@CurlyKris71]

These videos are great! Please keep them coming!

[@danielalvin514]

Major portion of Japan is more neat and clean and orderly than European cities as I see from your video

[@rvalentim1995]

Japan is an example of how a country should be

[@tomm7538]

Great job,Kees,we really like all your videos!Thanks!

[@qianfan9854]

Nice video! I watch it from beginning to end. Many streets are almost empty, with so few pedestrians and so little traffic, so quiet, so clean and easy. It must be a great pleasure to take a leisure walk on these streets in such a warm spring day. Local people hang their bed coverings in the sunshine. Senior people are playing gate ball. Young parents are playing with their kids in the park, waiting in line for riding the rail-slider. Few high buildings, no skyscrapers. I enjoy your filming very much.

[@dikarizky728]

very nice clean a country japan. I hope visit to tokyo japan

[@septianandryanto7132]

[@lifestyle-ny9yh]

Sm00th TV because japan was not colonised for 250 fucking years

[@TowManDave00]

I can see why they say Burlington Ont. is the sister city of Itabashi...I live next to Burlington in Oakville Ont. and I did see lots in this video that looks like here...mostly when your walking in the parks near the end of your video...thanks ...nice video!!

[@haslinazali74]

Wow!!! Tokyo is the most beautiful city in the world!!!!! I Love Sakura blossom!!!!!!! I Love Japan!!!!! Greeting From Malaysia!

[@B4319.]

[@mikechang2288]

Thank you very much Mr.Colijn,you do a very hard work for us.

[@surojitbhattacharjee296]

I just watched you walk through my city Kolkata ..and now Tokyo !! It is interesting to see a city walking coz most of the time we travel in cars ,busses or trains thru our cities but we miss the fineries.. dont you get tired walking, Kees?

[@keeziwalks]

Surojit Bhattacharjee never :)

[@sandechoir]

very clean city

[@mahdinaser2067]

Thanks so much fun on this tour

[@aagler7]

kees Colijn --- Thu.,Dec. 31, 2015 - I loved the end part of this video when you walked in the park and slowed and sometimes briefly stopped to watch the children running around and playing with their parents and among themselves running and having a very good time. This was a beautiful part of this video. Thanks and Happy New Year 2016. Y saw the living part of the city of Tokyo. Thanks again.

[@pijushbiswas6743]

The Cleanest country of this Planet

[@MBihon2000]

Such a very inspiring place to live a clean , peaceful and yet modern living space. Grafitti free, flora and fauna around, well managed streets, adorable. Such a hallmark of Nippon cultural heritage.

[@Shiraz321]

Thanks for uploading and now i am taking a tour around the world.

[@Asian_Movie_Enthusiast]

I love walking around Japan. You gotta do Kyoto some time, maybe near Arashiyama. It's fantastic.

[@alexandreluisalves295]

Thank you, very much!! Alexandre from Brasil, RS, PoA.

[@felipenavarro6602]

You were there just in time to capture the Cherry blossoms. They only last for like a week

[@TVSCDN]

Very serene place to live Thanks 😊😘

[@ishand69]

Thank you keezi... for this video...i really love it, maybe someday i will visit there and walk like you😉

[@septianandryanto7132]

Wong ndi koen cokkk,....

[@gallmica18]

Please please, more of those walking videos! I look forward to ones of London, Saint-Petersburg, Beijing, Moscow and Berlin.

[@tahashaukat3342]

I love how they have tactile paving on most sidewalks.

[@iancrawford9465]

I do not get why you keep walking in the road instead of the sidewalk? Wow Tokyo is so beautiful. No trash any where. This is literally one of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube.

[@robertbeightler1473]

Love your videos!

[@God_Like_666]

Those roads look amazing

[@sheikowi]

Not a single car honking. Very few persons on street. Not a speck of garbage or graffiti. Persons all clean, with normal gait. No decrepitude at all. Wowowow.

[@Franciisco007]

Que País lindo perfeito e tudo limpo não tem sujeira País de primeiro mundo excelente vídeo

[@millvee1005]

kees Colijn Thank you for your videos you take me right there....

[@windycity88]

at 8:11 , you could also show us what is on the left as the video shows alot of the scene on the right which we now know are trees by the monsoon river or river.

[@hoanghoatham1856]

I hope that How Sydney city has bicycle lanes like Tokyo . Tokyo looks so clean , safe , and security , so beautiful and romantic .

[@noisnaosabe]

Thank you for this work =D

[@crist67mustang]

It might be funny to walk down streets in Japan and see in your camera writen Made in Japan. XD. Wonderful everything. I go with you by your side. Greetings from 🇨🇱 Santiago, Chile.

[@mohameddilipanzari210]

Beautiful Japan, I visited two times

[@SevenFootPelican]

it's like a cutesy comfy little anime town...

[@tokyojapan1607]

Beautiful*Beautiful* All Japan is beautiful i love Japan i love Tokyo.***********

[@clsumjr]

This place is fantastic I love it

[@iancrawford9465]

I demand more Tokyo walks or at least Japan. I'm talking like at least 5x 1.5 hour walks.

[@keeziwalks]

+Ian Crawford i send you my bankacount nr ;-)

[@iancrawford9465]

You should set up a kickstarter to make treadmill videos. I would pay like $20 if other people put down money first and I wasn't the only one.

[@keeziwalks]

+Ian Crawford i tried it , it is not so easy

[@NemesisJaximus]

[@metalyellow7863]

Christmas illumination in Tokyo is recommended.In Tokyo, there are many areas full of illumination such as Marunouchi · Ginza and Odaiba, Akasaka · Roppongi, Ebisu · Omotesando etc.

[@philipbowden8065]

i think they pruned the trees to keep the path clear. they all grow toward the river.

[@Gajenzask]

Someday I will go to Japan and take morning walks :P

[@Amr198569]

what a clean and neat city!

[@tismediatravelwalkvideos3017]

Great walk! thanks!

[@jarno_schepersss1070]

Nice kanaal man ik ben geabonneerd je walking tours zijn echt super tof zou je ook een keer een walking tour van new york of los angeles willen maken?

[@keeziwalks]

MCmackievideos ja graag , maar wie gaat dat betalen ?

[@keeziwalks]

MCmackievideos my aim is to make at least one video like this in every country of the world.

[@jarno_schepersss1070]

kees Colijn sorry daar hat ik niet zo snel bij na gedacht

[@trombone7]

I notice they have a completely different sense of personal space. A lot of putting people and vehicles in what seem to be unnecessarily tight spaces and passages. Especially since everyone instinctually goes to the left, and frequently the camera person stays on the right. But the folks seem pretty chill about it.

[@charlesschauer8927]

Agree....started to feel claustrophobic

[@DroneGirl1]

Wow, this is just the best walk ever! :) Thumbs up from me! :)

[@kenllacer]

I tried doing this once, but I found it very awkward holding up a camera in the street that I ended up with a shaky 5 minute mess.

[@mohameddilipanzari210]

Hats off for your walk

[@willyschwarz1730]

Yeah, very clean and orderly, but WHERE are all the people???? I thought Tokyo is supposed to be one of the world's most populous metropolis', but the streets seen here are all but deserted! Please explain- - - -

[@lourdesgalarzaordonez2254]

Saludos hermoso pais buen video gracias por compartir

[@cwc790411]

Having walked through every ward (ku) in Tokyo, I can say that Itabashi is an interesting choice in terms of it being lesser known. Another great video, of course!

[@Y10Q]

It's not just Tokyo. I have noticed that whenever you have people of above average intelligence living together, everything is organized, clean and easy on the eye. This is what you would find in a high middle class suburb here in USA.

[@Maryy2745]

Japao e um pais lindo e tao limpo 💜❤

[@albertussuprianto3967]

Thank 's friend, give a good insight for me, good work.

[@saxenas]

why are tokyo streets so empty

[@Avataan]

+Madhops 107 School & work most likely.

[@saxenas]

PuderFreak ! yeah but i live in Boston and people go to work and school there as well, but the streets are always so crowded nonetheless.

[@Avataan]

Madhops 107 That's weird. Here in sweden ona normal weekday the streets are empty between 8am-4pm. Cause that's when everyone is at work or school. Only people who are unemployed or have a day off can be seen. :p

[@saxenas]

that does make sense lol. it's weird but Boston streets r always crowded no matter the time.

[@motormusique]

+Madhops 107 I think it all comes down to Tokyo's great public transportation system. People get around by train and walk, and when I was there I noticed even in busy areas, most cars were taxis or delivery vans. In North America we are way too dependent on cars which causes congestion, and it is not an efficient way of moving a lot of people around.

[@joedoe4069]

Отлично! Просто медитация! Я сам люблю ходить по тихим улицам.

[@abiegreyvenstein4123]

The cleanest city on the planet.

thank, very nice. I think holiday in there. everywhere is noiseles.

[@chirastuthakur366]

Great video

[@johanlzq]

Hey Kees, may I know what setup do u use for your videos? Very lovely stuff, I feel really calm and relaxed watching it. If you ever come to Singapore, I'll show u where to walk.

[@keeziwalks]

+Johan Lim i have singapore , but next time i ask you

[@Sarke2]

Nice calming walk

[@joesmith701]

kees Colijn I'm sure you've had to have this question before but what city has been your favorite? I see you have been to so many I thought I'd ask.

[@mahtabfotovat4908]

my friend lives there i really wanted to see how does it look like it seems pretty awesome to me.

[@noinhammm]

clip bắt đầu từ các con đường chính , phút 36 thấy có hình Conan, đây chắc là cửa hàng bán truyện tranh , tiếp đó là cảnh 1 nhóm người đi XE ĐẠP ở 2 bên đường hòa vào nhau , còn ở đường chính là toàn XE HƠI đã tạo ra 1 khung cảnh đường phố thật êm đềm và nhẹ nhàng . Còn ở trong các con hẻm là khung cảnh yên tĩnh đến mức đầy quyến rũ !! Tuy chỉ là hình thức đường phố nhà cửa xe cộ đơn giản nhưng qua đó toát lên 1 vẻ đẹp thật tinh tế và hoàn hảo mà không phải nước nào cũng làm được như ở Nhật Bản .

[@gallmica18]

How did you manage to keep the camera so steady? When i try, the picture is all over the place!

[@brad009a]

thank you. it seems I am travelling here myself^^

[@elruso16]

Why is the street so clean?? is this real life?

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

Juanchordas nope. This is a game. Look at the glitches in the city 15:51

[@jorgesalini4741]

Thanks from Buenos Aires Argentina , I been walking with you Kees, are you from England? gracias y saludos desde Sud America

[@user_cv8wysmstt]

1:24:59 危ないぞ！道を歩く時気をつけて！Please be careful when crossing the road!

[@rewindjah]

Hi Kees, how did you end up in Takashimadaira of all places? Ik woon zelf in de buurt van het startpunt van je video, vlakbij het station:)

[@ilhambudi95]

The city is overcrowded but can also look very silent. Weird.

[@badruddinhussain3418]

Why have you walked in posh area? Show the real face of the cities or a coubtries you have visited so far. Thanks

[@jrodtheillegal4196]

there you go, the camera glides along like a drone

[@rayquinbar7031]

I like these videos but if I may be so bold as to make one suggestion, you could pan around every once in a while, nobody walks looking straight all the time. I feel we are missing so much more.

[@charlesschauer8927]

Thank you

[@philipbowden8065]

you keep your dog very fit sir

[@charlesschauer8927]

Spotless!

[@emilezra5766]

Japan is so ridiculously clean, even the leaves on the trees doesn't fall on the ground.

[@mamitsumamits]

As much as I admire the cleanliness and orderly conduct of Tokyo's inhabitants, I find it quite sad and actually disturbing to see many of the scenes in this particular district devoid of people. It's almost like a ghost town! It's just too perfect, if that makes any sense ;)

[@jiasonsiow5712]

What kind of stabiliser did you use ? Was it the one where you attached in front of your chest or hand-held ? Did you use a video camcorder or a DSLR mounted on a stabiliser ?

[@aagler7]

kees Colijn --- Thu.,Dec.31, 2015 --- Happy New Year 2016. A suggestion, sometime you should to look around a certain points of the walk to know better the surroundings and appreciate better the place, city where your walk is taking us with you. Your friend and friend of many.
