  • Tokyo Monorail is one of the best ways to get to And from Haneda airport, which is the best airport in Tokyo. The other airport is Narita, which is much further out.
    On this video, we take a ride on the monorail and take a look at the airport during covid times.

    As somebody who lives in the suburbs and rarely visits a major city, this is quite fascinating. I don't like cities but for some reason, Tokyo intrigues me. Maybe it's the architecture. It has that something.

    It's really sad to see the airport so empty with so many of the shops closed. I live on Oahu and the same thing here for any tourist heavy location. Waikiki is so empty and so many of the shops are closed. :(
    Since I'm lucky to have a job along with my GF we have been eating out a lot whenever we have time to support our local shops. I'm glad to see you grabbing a couple of drinks.

      @JMarieCAlove 3 роки тому +5

      Killa Pickle Pirate Panda Why? Have you been to every state in America to actually see how life is lived in each state? If you like Japan a lot more, start a new life there. Not being rude, just saying that you must think the U.S. has nothing to offer, no beautiful sceneries, no beautiful nature, no good people, no cleanliness, like all of the U.S. every state, in your mind, must be just terrible. But why do so many people want to leave their own country and move to the states? Especially California or New York. Do you think our streets are filthy? People are rude? Just all kinds of bad in the states? I sure wouldn’t want the states to be like any other country. Every country isn’t perfect, you’re just seeing videos for a short moment and not seeing how life really is in Japan. I know the Japanese people are polite, well mannered, good people. Just like we do have around here in the states, we do have perfectly beautiful places to see, we have trains too! I have traveled a lot around the U.S. and been to several stares and I’m in awe of the gorgeous surroundings and the most kindest people I’ve met, the hospitality and even inviting me back for a longer visit. We do take pride in our neighborhoods and cities. It’s sad when I have seen a few of these videos of Japan or any other country and an American says, “I wish my country looked like your country”! And yet those Americans have never set foot out of there own city or state! If you’re ashamed of the U.S., start a new life and be happy where you rather be at. I’m sure the states will miss you, though! 😉

I eagerly wait for a safe time until we can revisit Japan - We would have flown to Narita starting next week for a long trip to Japan.

    I rode the monorail for the first time when I went to Tokyo for a few days back in December 2019. I expected something a little different from the trains but was pleasantly surprised it's how it is. Crowded, but not to the point that you wouldn't be able to sit somewhere during most times of the day (before the pandemic). So absurdly useful for anyone staying at the Royal Park Hotel in Haneda airport or just looking to kill time between flights. For people like me that can't handle long flights very well and need rest often, that hotel is a lifesaver. Haneda airport itself is with all the shops and restaurants too. Wish it was so empty when I was there, but it's also sad to see all those places closed as a result. Rather they be open and thriving. :(

    Is all of Haneda that quiet, or just the time you visited? I watch a live stream of arrivals/departures on Sundays. Planes leaving fairly regularly (Domestic). Guessing more people then?

It is only done in Japan so i can’t do it but it sounds interesting. Maybe you can get sponsored by The tour company. Anyways, love your videos!
