Exploring ASAKUSA + Trying VIRAL PANCAKES | Our Final Day in Japan
Our final day in Japan was spent in Tokyo, specifically Asakusa-an area that retains the vibe of older Tokyo.
The top sight in Asakusa is Sensoji temple, a grand Buddhist temple. Around this area you can find many food and souvenir stalls, one notable street is Hoppy Street.
From there we did some cherry blossom hunting at Sumida Park. The cherry blossoms were all lined up and in peak bloom! What was cool about this spot is you could see the Sky Tree from there.
A more hidden find is the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center where you can go on the top floor and get great views of Sensoji temple all for free!
For lunch we went to Benitsuru, a viral fluffy pancake spot. We had to stand in line before they were open to get reservations since it's so popular. Here we ordered their most famous bacon and eggs with hollandaise sauce. Both were incredibly delicious. The spot is popular for a reason!
Then we had to do some much needed shopping on Kappabashi street, a street well known for its kitchen supplies and cooking ware. Here we bought the world-renowned Japanese knives, a wok, and a matcha whisk! It's a really neat place to do some unique souvenir shopping.
To finish our time in Japan we went to the huge Ueno Park. This is a famous cherry blossom spot, and it didn't disappoint. There were so many blossoms, and it was so cool to go here when it was getting dark to see the lanterns glow.
We had a great time in Japan. We saw and did a lot but still barely scratched the surface. Thanks again for following along this series!

      Definitely worth it if you’re a big Studio Ghibli fan! Tickets ran us $50 a person. Travel time wasn’t bad at all. It’s only 1.5 hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen. 30 minutes from Kyoto. Then there’s another 30 minutes probably to actually get to the park. We feel your pain about wanting to do so many things. It’s hard but try to make a short list of “must dos” and then create the rest of your trip around those!

    As a side note that Peameal Bacon you where eating is the original 'Canadian' Bacon. That would be the original cut of meat that would have been served, around the turn of last century, on the original Eggs Benedict which would eventually be copied everywhere. Thing is if you where a port city in the North East then Canadian Peameal Bacon was the most cost effective 'bacon' around but once you got much outside of that catchment area in the US that was no longer true. The pork being shipped from Kansas City and the west was the cheapest so pretty quickly Eggs Benedict was being made with Ham and being called 'Canadian Bacon' - though Peameal Bacon is actually a loin cut and has undergone a preserve process. Peameal Bacon's actual reason d'etre was to be shipped from the huge Toronto pork Slaughter Houses to the United Kingdom.

    I'm so glad you left the powdered sugar bit in. It gave us a good chuckle that we needed. John Daub from Only in Japan has a very special video about the Buddhist in that temple. It was filmed last year and it's the way they clean the statue. Def check it out if you can find it. It's pretty cool to see. One day we will go to Nara! The deer are super cute. Two years ago while visiting family in Texas, we were staying in San Antonio and the whole neighborhood was inhabited by local deer that was sadly taken over by a sub division. But it was cool having them everywhere and we even got to feed them special deer food. Great video y'all. 😊Getting us excited for our trip in Feb.

We’re just not the best with crowds sometimes. If not this next trip, you definitely need to go to Nara on the next one. It’s such an interesting place. The closest deer experience we’ve had to Nara was actually in San Antonio at Fort Sam Houston! They have a small herd of deer (not sure how or why they’re there) and we fed them. Such a cool coincidence. We are excited for your trip too! It will be here before you know it. Thanks for watching guys!

    We want to visit Kobe one day for sure because there's so much awesome things to do there and those gardens are on our bucket list. Chad and I also prefer the countryside over the cities. I do love NYC a lot though, I think that's the only exception. We tried certified A5 Wagyu beef in Osaka, it was a 8 course meal from an eatery that's well known and they came out with a certificate stating where the cow came from and even then, while it was delicious, we too were let down by it. We also had had Taijima beef from the Kyushu area when we were in Kinosaki Onsen and preferred the beef from that area much more. Not as fatty but extremely flavorful. And you're right, down the road we also learned that you might not be getting the better quality meat in the touristy spots/food stalls. Loved the video! Beautiful place. ✌🏼

      The gardens are wonderful, you’ll love it! We had high expectations for Kobe beef, as I’m sure you did with your A5 wagyu experience. I think those high expectations was part of our problem with being a little let down. The best beef we had was a place we ate at in Osaka right in the heart of Dotonbori. With that area being so touristy, we were so surprised by the quality there. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

    Kobe would be so cool to visit! The beef over the sushi rice in Chinatown looks soooo good! I would love to try that. Yum! The panda bao bun is so cute! My husband would love to try the sweet potato ice cream! The ropeway is so cool! What amazing views. Fresh honey ice cream, yum! The garden is so pretty. What a great adventure! Thanks for bringing us along! 😊💕

      It’s a neat destination! Chinatown was cool, but we preferred the sushi at the second spot we went to. That honey ice cream though. 😍 Thanks for joining us!

    Wow! We just watched you visiting our hometown (we live a few blocks away from Yonge-Dundas) and you guys did a fantastic job covering all the bases. You sure managed to fit a lot into your visit! I think it's so clever to mention prices (parking, admission to sites) and you even showed us the Musical Gardens, which we're ashamed to say we've never visited despite being pretty close to it. As residents of The Six, we just wanted to say how great you presented our city!

      Aw we’re so glad to hear we represented your city well! It was a short but busy trip for us. We’re not huge city people, but we really loved Toronto. We found there was such a vast variety of things to do. The musical garden is such a nice green space. You should definitely go sometime in the summer. Thank you so much for watching. 🥰

    OMG we need to try these! One of my favourite parts of travel is trying different candies you can only find in other countries and we haven’t done that enough imho. This is such a comprehensive rundown and appreciate the cross-section views of the candies. Also ❤️ Blackjack’s cameo at the top of the video😻

      We have a little bit of a snack and candy issue. Frankly, it’s an addiction. 😂 We highly recommend checking out the Omnom shop when you go back! Blackjack is one of our little troublemakers, but we love him. ❤️
