We can't believe THIS is TOKYO! Shibuya vs Shinjuku
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2023
- Join us on an epic adventure as we journey through the heart of Tokyo, comparing two of its most famous neighborhoods: Shibuya and Shinjuku. Hold tight, the next station is Shibuya! We immersed ourselves in the electrifying energy of the city, taking on the iconic Shibuya scramble crossing multiple times just to soak in the Tokyo nightlife. We also made a pit stop at Pepper Parlor, the renowned Robot Cafe near the Shibuya crossing, to witness its futuristic charm. I must say, the robots can make some pretty good ramen!
Shibuya, known for its youthful vibes, is an entertainment and shopping haven that left us in awe. But just a quick 5-minute subway ride away, we found ourselves in Shinjuku, home to the world's busiest train station. This district offers a more upscale experience with a wide array of shopping and dining options. We took the traditional route and explored Omoide Yokocho, an enchanting old alleyway brimming with charming tiny restaurants and eateries, providing a taste of authentic Japanese culture. Omoide Yokocho is a hidden thing to do in Tokyo! You need to really look to find it.
Both neighborhoods are undeniably incredible and an absolute must for anyone visiting Tokyo. Shibuya and Shinjuku are a MUST on the list of things to do in Tokyo. Enjoy our guide to visiting Tokyo! 🗼🇯🇵 #Tokyo #Shibuya #Shinjuku #traveljapan #tokyotravel

We tried Japanese 🇯🇵 street food at the world's oldest fish market 🔥 ua-cam.com/video/iwxC_IFLHzQ/v-deo.html
I had watched this video as well...how could i miss it bro! Love it.❤️
Tokyo is divided into many areas such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza, Roppongi, and Asakusa, each of which has completely different characteristics and is very strange and interesting. Moreover, this is true for every local city in Japan, and each one from the northern end to the southern end has a completely different and special character. Taking Tokyo and Osaka as examples, the two cities had completely different atmospheres and even different personalities of the people who lived there. But the common thread is that wherever you go, it is very clean, social order is maintained, safety is good, people are kind and friendly. And most of all, the food is so delicious! I think it's worth a lifetime to visit every part of Japan.
Good stuff, hope to see a lot more of you guys. ThanksMuch for sharing !
You guys are great! Thanks for letting us accompany you and letting us see the joy you guys share in your visit! 😍
So many people! We visited Osaka last month, it was my first time in Japan and I did find that there were so many more people than I had imagined! Already planning to return to Japan, we are thinking Tokyo will be the next Japan trip. Loved feeling your genuine reactions this whole time!
Tokyo is definitely a must visit, we actually already can't wait to go again!
I was 4 days in Osaka and Osaka is differ than Tokio. People in Osaka more likeable. Generally Japan is wonderfull country. Of course I adwise to visit Tokio also
Don't forget Kyoto and Nara!
How much are plane tickets usually? And what airlines can take you to Japan?
@Jahhseh it entirely depends on where you live. Do a Google search and Google flights is pretty good to show what airlines fly from where you live.
You guys are really lucky to have visited one of the must visit conutries. Thanks so much sharing this enjoyable video !❤
Your adventures leave me craving more wanderlust-fueled moments. Great Video! Shibuya is CRAZY!
Thank you For this, will try both when i go there !!!!
Thanks for coming to Japan. im glad you enjoyed your stay in japan☺️
Nice sharing your experience. we are going in June and watching this video was very helpful.
You guys captured it perfect! I can see the excitement
楽しかったです😊
久しぶりに東京に行きたくなりました
Loving your videos ❤
Thank you so much!
You visited the scramble crossing at the right time at sunset and on a weekend. Visit Ginza for Japan''s version of NY 5th avenue. At night if possible.
Fun fact time:
For fans of Persona 5 some of the iconic locations like the Ginza line ticket gates and the green train carriage are now gone but you can still buy a drink to boost up your stats at the juice bar in the underground passageway near where you meet Yusuke. Also Buchiko (ie. Hachiko) will be celebrating his 100th anniversary in November.
It seemed that it was the best time to visit for sure, especially in the summer heat. We got a chance to visit Ginza the day before when we went to the owl cafe, but haven't done it at night yet. Next time we're in Tokyo, it's on our list!
Thanks for the fun facts as well!
WOW! Japan is a very big great and wonderful beautiful country in the face of the Earth. Thank you guys very much for giving me a view of Great Japan.
Great video! 🙌
Thank you 🙌
@@ChangingLocations ❤
Yawls enthusiasm jumps thru the screen!
What kind of camera are you using? I'm going to Japan next month and I'm so thrilled!
Shibuya is a bustling district known for its fashion scene and IT industry. It attracts a diverse crowd, particularly those in their 30s and 40s, and is home to numerous clubs and live music venues. Shinjuku, on the other hand, is a bustling business hub that houses the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. It caters primarily to businessmen and offers a range of amenities, including an nightlife district and cozy bars. Harajuku, once a bustling neighborhood for teenagers, has experienced a significant decline in its youth population due to the distressing problem of voyeurism by foreign tourists, ultimately leading to its current state as a tourist-centric enclave predominantly owned by Chinese and Koreans.（Approximately 80% of Japanese tourists are Chinese or Korean nationals.

The number of people crossing the Shibuya scramble intersection is half a million a day.
Well it depends on what article you read. We got our stats from jrailpass.com
They mentioned that on the busiest days, up to 2.4 million people cross the intersection. Other websites say anywhere between 1000-3000 pedestrian on every crossing

and 400 thousand of them have their phone out taking videos.

I’m gonna be there March 5th and I don’t know what part of Tokyo I should stay at
Growing up in NYC and now living in Tokyo for about 7 years I agree in some sense with the comparison. The difference for me is in the safety and cleanliness, plus nobody gonna bother you at all here. Both have an energy and both are intense, just on two different ends. Shibuya has so much more to actually do, and being 5 minutes from another crazy area like Shinjuku or Roppongi
We were just in Tokyo last month for the first time. We stayed at a hotel near Shinjuku, and then we visited Shibuya as well. Both districts are vibrant and bustling but for different reasons.
1. Shinjuku:
Positive:
- more big shopping malls and high-end shops like Gucci, Hermes, etc.
- tons of bars/drinking (ie. Golden Gai area), lounges and more Japanese BBQ/izakaya style of restaurants.
- known for host and hostess clubs (Kabukicho).
- along and north of Tokyō Metropolitan Rte 302 is known for Korean neighbourhoods (tons of Korean restaurants).
Negative:
- be careful of "tourist traps"!! Lots of places that try to lore you in for drinking and host/hostess.
- not the most fun place if you aren't into drinking/alcohol (like us).
2. Shibuya: (our favorite neighbourhood)
- we find there are more ramen restaurants and local eats (more variety than just Japanese BBQ/izakaya style).
- more small-scale shopping malls.
- close to Harajuku (cool tourist shops and treats) and Omote-Sando (tons of high end shops).
- north east quadrant of Omote-Sando and Meiji-dori Ave (in those small streets and allies) are full of cool Japanese retails and brands.
So you want 1) tons of ramen, curry, katsu restaurant selections 2) cool local brands/retails, then spend more time in Shibuya. For most tourists, high-end brands like Gucci, Hermes, Channel are not a huge draw as you can find these in other big cities. But if you want trendy and cool local brands, then Harajuku/Omote-Sando is WAY BETTER retail and shopping experience.
All fair observations! We don't drink either so it was more the experience for us in Shinjuku while Shibuya was totally mind-blowing! Glad you guys enjoyed your stay in Tokyo 🙌
@@ChangingLocations Agree! Shinjuku is really for those who like high-end shopping and drinking/bars (and host/hostess). Shibuya feels more "local" with many more restaurant options. Not to mention Shibuya has some cool clubs and love hotels in the west part of the city.
can you recommend hotel, we will be visiting in April, Thanks!
I’m going to Tokyo Thursday !
Enjoy it to the fullest! It's an amazing city
How many times did you crossed the street??
LOL!! At least 4, maybe 5 🤣
My husband always describes Tokyo as New York City on steroids! You guys are so cute couple :) I'm glad you both had a great time there. Hope you guys come back to Japan soon!
Thank you 🥰. That's one of the best ways to describe it lol. We are already planning our trip back.
Wow! That would be so awesome!!!!!!
That's the same crossing they portrayed in resident evil.
Would love to travel like you two and boost my channel .
Ps new sub here from UK
Hello!! I live in Tokyo. 🗼Shibuya Crossing is a contemporary art of Japan.
(Shibuya Crossing=渋谷スクランブル交差点)
Konnichiwa! Thanks so much for tuning it. Shibuya crossing is definitely an art piece, what a place 🙌
We just came back from Japan and I still think Times Square is worse, especially during Christmas. It was cool but it was way smaller in person then what they make it seem. Still, it was awesome to be there and I miss Japan so freaking much.
Idk if it's worse tbh lol we lived in NYC for a long time and Times Square is just kind of disorderly, a bunch of random Disney characters and not really appealing since locals avoid it. Shibuya is where people actually go and we could see why.
@@ChangingLocations I can agree that time square is more disorderly. That was one thing we enjoyed from Japan is how orderly people can still be even when it’s the busiest time of day. Though, I did see a spidermnan in Osaka 😭😅😂 Like I said, it's a cool place and I'm glad we got to see it in person. But I'm glad I don't have to check it out anymore. I'm a huge anime person too and found it to be really expensive for good which makes sense. I did enjoy the lights at night, it was so pretty.
Nightlife in Tokyo tends to attract different crowds depending on the region. Shibuya is for young people, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are for adults, Shinbashi is for middle-aged businessmen on their way home from work, Yurakucho is for young businessmen on their way home from work, Roppongi and Akasaka are for the media and entertainment industries, and Ginza is for corporate executives and wealthy people.
@@missplainjane3905 Shibuya crossing was small. I realized all this time people always say it's the busiest crossing but it's also pretty small in size. I'm glad I got to see and experience it.
@@missplainjane3905 it's all subjective. It was to us, but like I said, we're super happy to have gone to check it out. I highly recommend doing the crossing and at night because all the lights are pretty.
Which neighborhood do you prefer: Shibuya or Shinjuku?
Shinjuku Is More adult oriented Shibuya is fun but is more for young people.

You are my special
Did you make reservations for the Robot cafe or just walked in?
We just walked in, not sure if it's possible to make a reservation but if it is, it might be a good idea especially on the weekend
@ChangingLocations ok great thank you! Seems like you both are having a great time!
It’s way different from time square. Shibuya is CLEAN AnD doesn’t smell bad. No homeless!
Absolutely Shinjuku is known for the 1 and ONLY World Famous Kabukicho
Shibuya SKY おすすめ！
I live in Tokyo. I went from an area of around 130k. Shibuya is just too much. I acrually like Shinjuku a lot though. I think its because Shinjuku is more spread out.
お二人ともTOKYO を楽しんでいただいているようで日本人としてとても嬉しいです。but 東京で日本で見かけるAsian が全部Japanese ではないので“caution！”
他のアジアからのtourist がたくさんですから誤解が生じることがないことを願っています。
Thank you! No problem at all, we found Japanese people to be very respectful and we had no issues with foreigners either
A more upscale place is Ginza.
Totally agree. We went there in our first impression of Tokyo video. We loved it ❤️
Welcome to Japan. I just went to Japan in December 2023.
Thanks
Welcome to Singapore
LOL
英語が出来ないので日本語でごめんなさい。
動画楽しかったです！
夏の日本は本当に暑いです🥵日本人の私も夏は苦手です。10月〜11月は昼間も過ごしやすい気候なので、いつかまた遊びきてもらえる時は秋か春をおすすめします☺️☺️
明るい幸せな雰囲気に惹かれて、チャンネル登録しました。
私は、英語が分からないので、言ってる事が分かりませんので、間違いなどが有ったら御免なさい。
この串焼き屋は、多分美味しくない😊。私は日本の色々な店の料理を食べたので、見ための味の記憶で、味を想像しました。
東京は、仕事と個人で度々行きましたが、日本人の私も知らない雰囲気の日本です、新鮮な気分に成りました。
串焼きの味を、見ためと私の記憶で想像、美味しく無い。焼鳥の場合は、銘柄鶏専門店の塩焼きの方が、専門店なので美味しい。銘柄鶏専門店なので、挽肉の串焼きの[つくね]は、醤油で味付けしてる焼き鳥でも美味しいかも知れない。私は、挽肉の[つくね]以外は、塩焼きを食べてました。
私は、素材が美味しい料理が好きなので。
鶏肉よりも、赤身の中に細い線の脂が幾つか見える銘柄和牛を切り身にした[霜降り肉]の和牛ステーキが、日本の美味しい食べ物だと思う。和牛か不明だが他のUA-camrの動画で見ました、もしかしたら、和牛ステーキでも、肉と脂身を技術で固形にした和牛ステーキも多分存在してるかも知れない。
私は、大きい道路の側の店などの入り易い雰囲気の店と、雑誌で紹介してるような店以外を知らない。
笑顔をありがとう。幸せな明るい雰囲気に、私は明るくて元気な気分に成りました。
多分、UA-camのお勧めに表示されてたら、その動画を、私は見てみます。
Me and my wife prefer ginza. Shinjuku is too loud for us now. 6 years ago when im still in late 20s, shinjuku loudness feels great. But now its too much 😅
신주쿠에 음식이 맛있다 다 뻥임...
hmmm,... Shibuya and Shinjuku are utterly artificial I think. When movie directors want to show " real Tokyo ", they film in Yanaka Ginza ...
It was on our list to visit but we will have to do it next time because we didn't have time to do everything
@@ChangingLocations My relatives always drag me back to Shinjuku (like this month) ... I utterly hate this ... but Yanaka Ginza and Monzen Nakacho have some kind of charm that captures my heart ...
U filming ur self way too much. Abit narcissistic
