Tour of Tokyo Station 東京駅 [4K] | JAPAN WALKING TOURS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- This is a walking tour inside of Tokyo Station, the main railway terminal in Tokyo. It's the busiest station in Japan with over 4,000 trains passing through it every day. It's about the 5th busiest, in terms of people, with about 500,000 passing through it daily. This is in comparison to Shinjuku Station, which is the busiest train station in the world, with 3.5 million people daily.
I wanted to share what the inside of this station looks like: all the corridors, eating areas, shopping areas, as well as the underground Tokyo Character Street, Tokyo Ramen Street, and more.
The station is so large that it connects to several other stations within 2km via underground passages. You can easily get lost inside and there are just so many things to look at and explore so I hope this video can help give you a sense of the scale of the station itself along with what is inside.
For more detailed information about the station, the lines, the history, etc. please check out this link: www.tokyostatio...

Thank you for watching, everyone! I hope you found this video a little informative. And if not, at least entertaining. What was the most interesting thing you saw? What is the biggest train station you've ever been in? Leave a comment below! ❤️❤️❤️
it's another time of my hour and 13 minutes of virtual touring and feeling pain from nostalgia and just feeling jealously to Cory lolll thanks always for the informative narratives and crazy non-shaking camera walking quality (very rare surprisingly. lot of walking youtubers shake so badly when they walk) :D!!!!
I love all the different hallways with different restaurants hidden in them.
Thanks for ur videos. This is my 3rd one to watch of urs.
2 supermarkets before this.
I cant wait to visit whenever a chance comes up. Love how classy things are their.
Love fr Dubai.
Thank you Cory for another great video! Tokyo station is really huge, but you managed to squeeze in a lot of very useful information. Thank you for taking us along, with all those wonderful and interesting shots! I didn't know that there is a Don Quijote there now! Plus there are so many new shops too! The section with the three-layered digital clock signage (sorry, don't really know how to describe it) and lanterns is a place I would really love to explore when I am back there. And that escalator that levels up is cute! And the fruit sandwiches - you made me make a mango sandwich instantly! :) Thanks again Cory! Looking forward to more and more videos from you! I wish it would be Monday soon so that we can already enjoy your livestream! :)
You're welcome! I tried to include the basic information about the station before getting lost inside. hehehe I'm sorry I didn't include more detailed information, though.
I think you can call that clock a three-paneled clock, or maybe a triptych clock? hehe
It looked new to me. I hope your mango sandwich was good. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This was so cool! I clapped when I saw the Pokemon Store and the Pokemon bags and stuff that you saw lol. Thank you for showing all of us! If you ever wanna know more about Pokemon for whatever reason, I could seriously go on for hours about the history and lore and answer any questions you have. It was cool seeing the Godzilla stuff too! The train platforms are so neat and tidy and just generally pleasing to the eye. Tokyo Station is HUGE and I really hope I can visit it one day! It kind of reminds me of an odd mix of an airport, a farmers market, a mall, and a convention center.
Hi Cory! One of your best walks😎 like walking around a big shopping centre, you forget your actually inside a train station, amazing, Japan know how to build great things.
Thanks for the tour 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Thanks, Terry! Yeah, it is definitely like a shopping mall that happens to also have trains passing through it. hehehe
Glad you enjoyed the tour and I appreciate you leaving a comment! Cheers!
YAY!!! What a great video! The quality is excellent too! I loved EVERYTHING in this video! The building is beautiful, the stores are amazing, interesting. And I have a "thing" for train stations and trains 😂 So... Thank you, Cory 🙏💖
We have a big train station in Budapest too, designed by Gustave Eiffel, it's pretty amazing.
Thank you, Zsuzsanna, I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! I wish I could have shown you more things and provided better detail and information for you. I'd love to see the station in Budapest! Thanks for watching and commenting. See you in Discord!
@@CoryMay81 It was a very good video, detailed enough. I was amazed! As for Budapest and Hungary... We have an over 1500 years of history, in 2010 Budapest was the Cultural Capital of Europe and in 2019 it was voted the safest and most beautiful capital in Europe by a traveler's magazine. I used to be a tourist guide, whenever you feel like traveling here you will be my guest. You may never know. 😊

One of my bucketlist place that I have to visit while in Tokyo indeed, Thanks Cory-san for showing this one
Awesome! You're welcome. I hope you get to come here sooner than later!!
Great video! I love Tokyo Station, it’s so diverse and unique the atmosphere down there. Cool liminal space vibe to the max. I was hoping you would go inside the Capybara san store in Character Street but I understand all can’t be done in one video.
Hugs from Mexico, super good news you are getting vaccinated soon :)
So happy that you have filmed this video Cory, that station is huuuuge wow totally more like an airport like you said! I dont think i’ve ever seen/been to such a large station! Loved the characters street, so much cool stuff thank you soooo much for sharing this with us it was such a great detailed and fun video to watch! ☺️✌️
Yeah! Very big! I'm glad you got to see what this station is like. It's a good place to visit and explore in. Thanks for watching, Laura!
Pretty Cure is a guilty pleasure of mine and you complimented their character design at 48:58 🎉
Oh nice! I have no idea what it is, but the design seemed cool. I like looking at different anime character styles. hehe
I love the chicken restaurant Donburiko there 🤩 I always got lost in station somehow without a map 🤣thanks for the memories, I miss Japan so much :(
Aaaaah the excite! Gonna watch it right away
I hope you enjoy this one! Lots of interesting things inside of this HUGE station!!! hehehe
Great tour , thanks so much
Thank you again Cory great video
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!! ^^
50:57 OMG!!! That is a highly rare retro Moomin plush in that blue glass case holding the ink pen! Of the 80s-90s plushes made for Finnish market, which usually have shorter arms, but there is this one model I believe they made for a one-time boxing event of some sort here in Finland (which somehow Moomin were a collaborators on - go figure; it was the height of the Moomin boom then); those plushes needed longer arms so they could wear these tiny boxing gloves they came clothed with - that looks like one of them!!
I'm a lifelong collector of these specific 'button eyed' 80s-90s Moomin plushes of my youth - and I've only ever come across this particular one twice before - once on an online auction, and once irl, by a miraculously random chance in a local charity store. And now here!
I'd LOVE to hear the story of that particular plush - how it ended up there - in the bowels of Tokyo Station? If these long armed Moomins were made use of for other events too? So curious! I've never seen these kinds of standing Moomin plushes, which were the standard in Finland, in Japan! (Only the colorful sitting ones, which originated from the Japanese market).
Thank you! For these videos in general, too - I've never been to the country, but Japan has always evoked certain home-y closeness - a sibling nation to ours - and these videos give that feel of nostalgia in abundance - excellently atmospheric company ^^ Did NOT expect this Moomin surprise, though - so lucky I was watching at the screen right then; could've so easily missed it :o
Wow, you are really into collecting Moomin plushies. That's awesome! I have no idea about Moomin, the history of it, how that rare plushy got to be in the underground area of Tokyo Station, etc. I'm sorry I can't answer your questions or give more info.
Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment! ^^
Evening Cory
Wow just wow! 😮
That station is insane!
You could have a whole day out with the kids there 😂
I've seen some big places on your stream's but that station is totally nuts!
I'd definitely get lost!
Hope you are having a nice week!
Thank you for sharing and taking the time to share with us
😊💕
Great tour Cory, thanks so much😀😁😎🤓
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I think I mentioned this before once, but also the Taipei Presidential Palace was built by the same architect as Tokyo Station too. Check it out! And thanks for the tour, it's been a while since I been there and I feel like the interior has changed a bit since a few years ago the last time I went through there.
Ah yeah, you did mention that! I've walked right by that palace before. It was humid as shit! Glad you enjoyed the tour and could see the changes man. Thanks for watching!
Hey man just found your stuff. Love the videos. I've been in Japan 8 years. I used to live in Fukushima but now live in Matsudo. I saw one of your videos in Matsudo. Are you still in the area?
Hello! I am a student who took a teacher's class in elementary school. It's been a while since I thought of you, so I looked you up and you were doing great. I'm leaving a comment because I'm so happy to see you. Do you remember Shinbanghak Elementary School?
Hurray you found Gluten free ramen! That place is HUGE! I cant believe how many shops are in there. Was that a map on the floor where the giant bell was? 36minutes 38seconds on the timeline.
Nice station. Looks historical.
Yep yep. Definitely iconic. Thanks for watching, Paul!
This upload made me wished I am in japan now. Thanks Cory
hehehe I hope you can visit one day after all of the pandemic is over with. Thanks for watching!
I could spend a day in that station wow.
Grand Central Station in New York city is the largest train station I've been in.Those light columns remind me of ice cubes! Thank you for the tour, informative and interesting!
Ooooooh.... that's on my bucket list of train stations I want to see and explore before I die! Thank you for watching and commenting, Maryland!
The big stations of that time are just incredible! Those big "brick and iron" train cathedrals
@@steemlenn8797 Indeed, very impressive!
@@CoryMay81 Forgot to let you know Large Meg sent me!
Haaaaaa. I miss this place. I miss the smell of breads and foods! I miss getting lost inside. Lol Thank you sooo much for uploading!!
12:10 What is RPA Robo-Pat? Also that character looks really familiar, is it a known manga/anime character or does it remind of a familiar one?
Thanks for your videos, Cory.
Also - What's the situation like for Vegan people in Japan? How easy is it to find vegan food in places like train and bus stations and city restaurants?
🙏🇯🇵🙏 - From - (Tiny 🇩🇰 Denmark) Thx,- For Streaming This Beatutiful Landmark of Japan/Nippon…
Looks amazing and super clean of course 😻
Yeah, definitely kept clean and nice all the time. Thanks for watching!
This is so cool !! Reminds me of the PATH in toronto ! Downtown attached to some of our subway stations is called the path, theres a bunch of stores and stuff and its all underneath buildings and the streets and stuff. It also connects a bunch of tall buildings!
Remember my memories in this station 3 years ago in the summertime...Love it so much. Then we walked to Tokyo tower and going to a small serenity shrine behind it. Unforgettable memories in Tokyo where I could find such a green and serenity place located in the heart of Tokyo :) Amazing.
That sounds like a great memory. Thanks for sharing it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The outside of this building kind of reminds me of Grand Central Station - just the size of it really and it’s centralized location of the area around it.
Yeah yeah yeah... definitely! It's got that iconic "This is this city's main station" vibe to it. Thanks for watching!!!
I'd get so lost wow you sure know your way around
I got pretty lost in the underground part, but once I spotted the Character Street, I could find my bearings again. hehehe
Informative.
Wow! That place is huge. I love all the little shops, thanks for showing us their merch. I've never been on a train (I don't think the train at the zoo counts)😆 but I've always wanted to take a train ride. Maybe someday. Take care Cory and stay safe.😊
Ooooh, I think you'd enjoy train rides. They're fun and the views are almost always awesome. Thanks for watching!!!
I go places threw u so thanks 👍
Tokyo Station looks absolutely amazing Corey once this whole covid thing dies down here around south east Asia I really do plan on going around Japan and Tokyo Station wow very cool this is the biggest train station I've ever seen a Japanese store version of Spencer's lol
Yeah, Tokyo is definitely a bucket list destination for anyone, I'd say. But you should also look into other cities, like Kyoto and Osaka as well, if you visit Japan. Thanks for watching!
@@CoryMay81 oh for sure Corey I would love to see as much of Japan as I can when I go there for a visit
Arigatoo. Was iinfornative✌️
The biggest train station ive been to is Central Sydney, quite tiny in comparison to tokyo station. The studio ghibli store, and the standing sushi restaurant with people sitting, i found most interesting.😸
Ooooh, I'll have to Google image search that station. I'm curious what it looks like.
hahaha The standing sushi place with people sitting is hilarious. Glad you enjoyed those things. Thanks for watching!
I have been to this station many times but never knew about the different themed streets, pretty amazing. Also, I have no idea how half of those shops stay afloat, especially given how much rent they would be paying!
Do you get something from monetization? I generally have ads blocked because they are too annoying, but for a few channels I switch them on (if I remember lol)
Yes, absolutely. I don't get a lot of money from ads, but every dollar goes forward to future videos by paying for my train tickets, any drinks or snacks I need, etc.
An additional way to show support is to check out the different tiers from the MoistFam membership (➤ bit.ly/3wmvGTT) on my channel.
There's even a small "Vending Machine Tomodachi" level which is just $2 a month to help me keep doing what I do here on UA-cam. Of course, the higher levels get more perks, like early access videos, wallpapers, etc.
Thanks for watching!!!
My first time to japan was a 4 hr layover, i took a speed train from narita to tokyo station, had 2 hrs to look around, that's when i fell in love and knew i had to come back. In hindsight there was nothing to keep me from staying longer and simply missing my flight, i should've done that.
Oh wow, that's cool you decided to just go to Tokyo Station with such a short layover. I'd be so worried about getting back to the airport on time and not missing my flight. hehehe
Thanks for watching!!
The largest station I have been in was the Main Shanghai Station in China. They also have a metro station called People's Square that is really huge as well.
Oooh, I bet that station is huge! Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
LARGE MARGE sent me! :)
Yay!!! Thanks for coming over from IG. hehehehe
How do you not get lost. This place is huuuge!,
I mean, I def got lost in the underground part. hahaha But once I see something I recognize, then I remember exactly where I'm at. I didn't even fully explore the station, I only showed what I could in just an hour! hehehe Thanks for watching!
It's so overwhelming.
True... so true. hehehe
Geez it's another city under the station 🤣 These floor stores are bigger than our biggest department store 🥲
17:18 that goes to Disney Resorts! its a long walk, they should have a train for that 😄
one of the reasons why I like Tokyo station is because there's a bus station there going to Narita and it only costs 1000¥
also for some reason, I have a hard time looking for a cheap hostel/airbnb near that station, so I always end up at Asakusa
Yeah! It goes to Kasai Rinkai Park and Disney. It also connects to the Narita Airport Express, I believe.
Ah yeah, staying in cheap places around that specific area is hard. Much better finding a cheap place near Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, or over there near Ueno/Asakusa.
Thanks for watching!!!
I would like to see a Daiso like shops or something like their walmart/target type store.
I have a Daiso tour, it's in the same playlist as the supermarket tours I made.
Japan doesn't really have a store similar to Walmart/Target, like a huge chain everywhere to get everything at all hours of the day. hehehe
But they do have some DIY home centers that have a similar vibe. It's more like Home Depot and Target combined, with heavy focus on DIY home repair and gardening and stuff. No clothes or electronics section with games and DVDs.
Stay tuned, though. I've got more store tours and similar videos coming soon!
@@CoryMay81 thank u ☺
Wow, the station is worse than an iceberg!
Large Marge sent me
hahahaha Thanks for coming over from IG!
I can just imagine you saying that and then an entire diner of people gasp in horror.
what kind of camera r u using now
DJI Osmo Pocket 2
We haven't seen you for 2 weeks! I hope you are alright, Cory! Can we help you in any way?
hehehehe I'm sorry. A lot of people don't know this but I have a Community Tab on my channel, where I post updates and other things.
I'll make an announcement soon to catch everyone up, but make sure to check there for the latest stuff. Also click the Notification bell to make sure you get updated with my posts!
You could live at the train station lol
I mean, yes, technically you could if you stayed in the hotel. You'd just have to go downstairs for food and shopping and daily life things like getting a hair cut or something. hahaha I think there's even a clinic somewhere in there.
10:01 is that yagoo??? (hololive)
Keep me away from the Studio Ghibli shop. They'd be closing and pushing me out with my ¥10000 purchases...
That fake restaurant food is meticulously hand painted to make it look real. There's resin to replicate things that are clear.
