This is what you want, a real experience of Japan, mixing with the locals, taking in the sites and sampling tastes of authentic Japanese food what more can you ask for. Truly awesome.
Just like to say your videos are great and have been really helpful in planning for my trip next year. Nice to see videos focused on places rather than the people making them. Really informative and your personality still shines through!
Oh, I enjoyed exploring Yanesen with my family. Thanks for letting us re-live this wonderful experience. University of Tokyo is very near Nezu Shrine and people will enjoy the new statue of a happy Hachiko reunited with his master. We miss Tokyo everyday.
I was in Japan 40 years ago. I was an 18 year old US GI. You have stimulated my memory of good times. I spent 1.5 years there. I would love to come back on vacation.
Hi I recently started watching lots of your vids after the UA-cam spotlight thing and I wanted to say I love them!! I want to travel to Japan one day but for now I just watch your videos ;)
I agree completely with everything you said! Yanaka, Shitamachi, and other old neighborhoods are my favorite in Tokyo and all over Japan. The fruit tree you pointed to is loquat, or biwa. Totemo oishii desuyo. (Also medicinal.) Thanks for your great videos, perceptions, and the way you show things.
You have quickly become one of my top resources for planning my upcoming trip to the area. Thank you for highlighting local, non tourist, areas! Keep up the good work!
I died at the kid yelling "Ahh!! Maketa~!" at 7:03!! hahaha!!! Oh Japan, your young ones are awesome!! Angela, message for you: you never dull a moment with your wonderful videos!!~~ Arigatou!
Wow! Those areas are truly such hidden treasures. The street food looks amazing also. I am so glad you ate the donut that fell, I would have also :) I really loved this video.
thanks for sharing, me and my flatmate from Christchurch are spending two weeks in Japan starting the end of july. I'm so excited to escape winter and explore some of the places you've suggested!
Since I am going to visit Japan next month I am very thankful for this video, because most of the other clips I found where centered around the common locations. Your video definitely gave me some more options to get to know the "real Nihon". :)
Another great video. I like how the regular life in Japan has narrow streets, but still kind of peaceful for some reason. 6:06 You said "most oldest shrine". Lol!
Thank you! Yeah, it has such a nice regular side to it where there's much more culture beaneath it! That side gets losts on UA-cam though :( And yeah LOL my English sucks after coming here.. Please ignore it XD
I've been watching a lot of your videos. I am traveling to Japan next friday for a month and I've learned A LOT from your videos!!! Thank you very much :)
This area you showed is all in 10 minutes walking from the dormitories that I will be moving into on march 25th! You made me even more excited to go!! New subscriber here :)
internationally ME, just wanted to thank you on your recommendation for seeing Yanaka Ginza Street and the neighbourhood. I went there during my visit of Tokyo this past June and enjoyed it very much. I had the best ever cream puff in a bakery on Yanaka Ginza. The whole neighbourhood looks very nice. Thanks!
Hey Angela! I'm a fellow kiwi in Tokyo and I absolutely love your videos. They always give me travel inspiration when planning excursions within Tokyo and beyond. I particularly enjoy your 'Hidden Spots' series and am enchanted by the area of Nezu. Do you have any recommendations for places with a similar local vibe? I really want to make the most of my Summer vacation and see as much of Tokyo as possible!
Thank you so much for this. I've added a few places form this video to my list for my trip in August. Thank you for highlighting Japan for me. Because of you and a couple of other UA-camrs, I can say I have a decent list of places to go for food and culture when I arrive. Can't wait to start actually shooting my own content!
Yeah, Yanaka Ginza sure is a great (and much overlooked/ignored) place my most tourists. I liked your intro pointing out the contrasts. Great video as usual madame! Have a good weekend... ^^ Thomas
Thank you for your video. It's very interesting! So surprising to see a lot of Tokyo's corners where it's possible to see and make experience of every day life of japanese!
I love this video. We are planning our trip for this Fall and this is exactly what I was looking for. A look at how the locals live not just all the tourist spots. Thank you for this great video.
One tip. Go where you really want to go and plan it which will come first. 3 days in saporro and 4 days in tokyo.. oh and also we went to disney land for the whole day. It is also packed with people had to wait in line an hour for the rides and for the snacks Just so you know so really 3 days in tokyo. We want to go to places for pics in tokyo and didnt had that much time for shopping and are always in a hurry. Our mistake was not having a good plan by going from one side of yamanote line then going to the opposite of the circle of yamanote line. And all stores in harajuku closes at nine in the evening. Maybe our next trip to japan we will stick to tokyo for 7 days with a plan. I really didnt quite enjoy japan to the fullest for the first time but i still had a fun time. Cant wait to go back there
@@krayzieegg7294 a recommendation: Tokyo Sky Tree! My parents went there in 2019, and now it’s a mandatory spot whenever we go to Japan (it’s that amazing)
Hi, I glad there someone who like this kind of place rather than the waaaay crowded usual tourist site, like I watch well known restaurants in the alley variety shows, somehow it have more appealing view than in the main street shop, love it. Oh have u ever travel around in the alley, any alley, the view & the feeling just to watch it there are just so great, so i hope sometime u can make another
Thank you so much for this video! I am going to visit Japan for the first time next week and stay in the hotel in this area. I didn't know it is so amazing!
Excelent video! I agree that when you travel ia an awesome idea to have some time with the locals, in local and common places and activities. Thank you for showing us that places. I loved the candy animals shop!
50 days to go before I and my wife leave for Japan to enjoy food, parks and shrines. For me it will be after August 1969 when I first visited Tokyo and Osaka. The perspective has changed so much in the last (almost 50 years).
great videos.being from New Zealand aswell its always good to have information about areas in Japan before hand.(Tena koe) greetings to you in my language and keep the videos rolling.
Hi! The fruit you asked for is very common here in Brazil, almost every yard has one of these trees. It is called nêspera (in portuguese), or Medlar in english. They are very sweet and are of the same family of the plums. I love your vídeos! I'm planning to visit Japan soon.
すごい！東京にもこんな町並みがあるんですね〜✨ ゆったりとしてる感じがとてもいいですね！ Your movies very instructive! I always look forward to :) It was more than 1000people Also subscribers! Congratulations!!
When I'll visit Nihon, I will be out in the wilderness and the rural places as much as possible. I want to experience the inspiration that the old Japanese had, and want to uncover at least a little bit of the essence of their spirit, that came from that environment. I will have to be there in autumn and in spring.
Glad I stumbled into your video! :) Planning to travel there soon and as someone who's not exactly a fan of modern metropolises this one is a good alternative route!
I wish I had this guide when I went last year. I was in Tokyo for 9 days and mostly stuck to Akihabara and Tsukiji. Definitely good to know for my next venture there.
I'm commenting a rather old video, but I found your channel today and fell in love with it! Btw, those fruits are called "níspero" in Spanish and are delicious!
I watch anime and japanese films not for the stories but for those little bits where we are shown the houses, the meals, the every day life. Big fan of costumbrism: life in small neghbourghoods, people doing daily shopping, small streets, old little shops run by very old peolpe who have been there for ever and are part of the urban landscape..., yes more every day life, please! :)
Yanesen was absolutely my favourite place for a peaceful walk in Tokyo, especially Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine :) I saw many of the famous stray cats of Yanaka as well!
Thanks for your videos. I will be travelling on October to Japan, it will be my second visit to such a great country and your suggestions are being very useful. Seeming that i will be staying in Kawasaki, Zou no hana park is a must !!!! Again, thank you for your videos, i will be checking the rest of them in the forthcoming days.
Great video! I found your channel through the video you did with Only in Japan so I subscribed and looking forward to checking out more of your past videos and future ones as well!
Thank you so much for making these videos. I will be moving to Nishi-Nippori in a couple weeks, so this definitely helped me figure out what places to visit that are nearby! ;)
How interesting! my first time going to Japan by myself i stayed at a place i found for Cheap on Airbnb with a Host. She lives RIGHT by Yanaka Ginza. I didn't know what the place was. I just know i LOVE it! I really Enjoy staying there and even got a Kimono from the kimono shop that i stumbled upon for only $30! Wow! I guess i got really lucky to be able to experience my first solo Japan trip in such a wonderful place!
This video was great, I'm going to tokyo in a couple of days and I'm definitely gonna visit Yanaka Ginza! Third video in a row that I've watched from you, subbed!
I went there today! The place where you got the potatoe was nice to you. The one guy yelled at me for wanting to take a photo of their food😅☹. Thank you for recommending the candy shop. It was a magical experience watching our candy get made!
Great video, love seeing the local shops and settings. Plan on moving to Tokyo at the end of this year =). This was the first video of yours i watched, subscribed, and plan to watch more in the coming months. All the best
omg i rly love your video. and its the other view of japan. keep going ! when i rly can go to Japan someday, i'll defenitely watch ur video again for some inspiration.😉
I love this video and also others too... if you would be able to show or draw in detail where you went, the routes you walked. Would be great..thank you
This is what you want, a real experience of Japan, mixing with the locals, taking in the sites and sampling tastes of authentic Japanese food what more can you ask for. Truly awesome.

The customised candy is so cool. Such a great idea! That would be great for little gifts for loved ones :-D
Yeah! It was really cute and so many designs to choose from. Thanks for watching :D
This area you showed is all in 10 minutes walking from the dormitories that I will be moving into on march 25th! You made me even more excited to go!! New subscriber here :)
this is a good insight, Angela. A great way to tour that is less crowdy and a different feel of the usual tokyo
Yes, that is why I have created this series "hidden spots" :) Hope to show more of the less crowded amazing places!

That candy making sequence was amazing! People are so talented haha!
It's rare to have that talent in Japan nowadays! Thanks for watching Ryan :)
My wife and I had a wonderful time eating and shopping on Yanaka Ginza, and in the Nippori area. Thank you for the great video.
Thanks a lot! This channel has officially become my Tokio travel guide
Thank you so much for this. I've added a few places form this video to my list for my trip in August.
Thank you for highlighting Japan for me. Because of you and a couple of other UA-camrs, I can say I have a decent list of places to go for food and culture when I arrive. Can't wait to start actually shooting my own content!
Aloha and this was a great video to show others that there is so much more to see in Tokyo and the bento looks really GOOD!!!
Yeah, Yanaka Ginza sure is a great (and much overlooked/ignored) place my most tourists. I liked your intro pointing out the contrasts. Great video as usual madame!
Have a good weekend... ^^

Congratulations!!
人混みが苦手なので、こういうゆったりした町が好きです！
Thank you so much for your support! 最初の方から応援してくれて本当にありがとうございます！！I appreciate it :)

I love your videos! The one about seeing everyday life in Tokyo was especially interesting. Keep up the great work!
Great series! Thanks a bunch and keep walking!
Just did another one of these :)
You love your potatoesss!!!
I think Id go for the donut though〜〜
I used to grow those fruit in my house when I was younger
Indeed very nice place I had a good souvenir from there👌🏼 very informative your feeds
Found your channel through "

Thank you! I think it would be nice to visit a more down to earth part of Tokyo. Thanks for showing us around.
Than you for this bit of common life in Tokio. More videos like this please!
Glad you liked it! You mean you want to see more of everyday normal life in Tokyo? :)
I watch anime and japanese films not for the stories but for those little bits where we are shown the houses, the meals, the every day life. Big fan of costumbrism: life in small neghbourghoods, people doing daily shopping, small streets, old little shops run by very old peolpe who have been there for ever and are part of the urban landscape..., yes more every day life, please! :)
Sorry I looked it up and it's 'Costumbrismo' or 'custom and manners' and not 'costumbrism'
5:39 we have that fruit in Mexico (at least the part where I am from), we call it níspero and it's super sweet and delicious!
I love your videos ☺️
Isis Mg : are you interested??
Yanesen was absolutely my favourite place for a peaceful walk in Tokyo, especially Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine :) I saw many of the famous stray cats of Yanaka as well!

Yea, Last scene, right? I notice too!

I hope you do more Videos like this. The hidden spots are the best places to travel IMO
Awesome ! I will visit in September-October and I will definitively go to explore Nezu
Hope you enjoy it there! It's a lovely area!!
Pls show us more of this kind of tokyo, so we’ll know where to explore aside from the usual touristy places.
Great stuff - my wife and I are arriving in Tokyo on Sunday. You videos are very helpful!
the candy making right in front of you seems so fun :D it's too cute to be eaten ;~;
many thanks, the hidden tokyo!! :) helps me to plan my hollidays

Going trough all your videos! Going to Japan in May and I want to try to visit a lot of places with different atmosphere
Yes! Travel to places the tourists don't go and you will see so much more cooler things! (in my opinion :P)
0:49 cat's angry face ! hahaha . Why is she so angry? I am so excited visiting Japan next month. I will get the rabbit candy. I love your videos.
Thank you Aiko! :D
We have that fruit in Australia too! I used to pick it off trees on my way home from school. Natsukashii!!!
Great episode!
