Just west of Tokyo, you’ll find a charming city known as Chofu-known for its lush botanical gardens, serene temples and shrines, sports stadiums, tasty soba noodles, and home of the popular manga ‘GeGeGe no Kitaro’.
Shizuka travels to Chofu and explores the streets of this peaceful city. She begins her adventure at Tenjin-dori Shotengai, an iconic shopping street lined with manga statues. Strolling down the street, she stumbles upon a retro toy shop then makes a stop at Azukiya Ando for some red bean paste sweets! After sampling some of the shop's specialties, she ventures on to Jindai-ji Temple to take in the tranquil surroundings.
Next up it’s time for lunch at Matsuba Chaya. Shizuka scans the menu before settling on a spread of soba-based dishes! Apart from soba, Chofu is known for being a mecca for manga lovers, as it’s the home of Mizuki Shigeru-creator of the famous manga ‘GeGeGe no Kitaro’. The final stop of the trip is Kitaro Chaya, a teahouse and cafe dedicated to GeGeGe no Kitaro. Our cheerful host steps into this retro wooden building where satisfies her sweet tooth before heading upstairs to soak up the history of the celebrated manga.

How has this amazing channel not have more than a million subscribers by now? Shizuka is an amazing host. She's got Gojira levels of charisma.
Hopefully we will get there!
Facts
Japanese yokai are so interesting! Kitaro Chaya has a good Instagram as well. That soba looked delicious!
We wanna know more about the Yokai culture! It is so fascinating!

Wow, the footage is so crisp with that cinematic colour 🔥
Thanks a lot!
Another amazing video overall. I didn't even know about this place, It's so beautiful, I found the little yokais very cute. I really enjoy this type of informative content and not gonna lie you're a perfect host
Thank you so much! 🥺🙏🏼
Such high quality content. Loved every minute
We are so pleased!
What a lovely video! So much fun, and very interesting too. The Soba segment got me wondering if you might do a video on the history and proper ways to eat Soba? I think this would be wonderful! ❤
Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely add it to the list!
My favorite TV show when I was growing up in Japan. That was really awesome!!!!! Thank you.
Yay! We love Kitaro too!
The ume soba looked REALLY interesting. That was the stand out for me. It's great how much the anime/old Japanese culture integrate so well. Watching these videos just endlessly grows the list of places I wanna visit in Japan. Thank you!
We hope we will add more amazing spots to your list!
Protect yo shirikodama!! Definitely adding Kitaro Chaya to my bucket list lol
Love green and red bean desserts and soba. Plus eyeball man! Love trees and monsters and the agar.
Definitely one of my favorite channels
This makes me so happy! Thank you!! 🥺
Huge fan of Kitaro and Yokai here! Thanks for showing all the awesome sights. Hopefully I can see it in person one day. 😊
Gosh I love Shizuka, these videos are so great. We're watching them for our upcoming trip and she's given us so many great ideas!
We are glad you get inspired! We will keep on going!
2:30 "It just tastes a little bit... greener" Aww... long day, Shizuka?! 😄 Cracking jeans...
Her smile, her laughter, the way she interacts with us viewers its like she pulls you into the video, thats why i love watching Japan by food with Shizuka (my love)❤😘🌹
Cool content something different finally 👍🎉
Watching these videos makes me miss Japan so bad! Thank you Shizuka for brightening my day!
Please come back soon!
One of the YoKai Watch movies brought these characters in for cameos, I guess it was a homage because they used and expanded on all of this guy’s work.
Again nice video 😊
yay! thank you!
Thank you for another interesting episode.
Thank you for watching!
The last place was just plain fun!
Yeah, I chuckled about the soy sauce earlier.🤷♂
I continue to love your show!
0:12 - Cozy Corner! Delicious!
Thank you for showing us around! Now I wanna go there since I’m already in Tokyo 🤚
interesting locations.... would love to go there someday
Shizuka is not really conscious what she look like on camera whenever she eats food or acting goofy. You can tell she's really enjoying her job more than anything.
We hope she is having fun!
Japan in 4k looks like your there. lol. I love Japan by Food. Thanks again. lol
Thank you! We are glad you can enjoy the 4K quality! Takes forever to render :D
@@JapanbyFood haha I bet.
I like how you discribe the food.
Makes us hungry :P
Shizuka is Japan and Japan is Shizuka.
Another great video by Japan by food.
Hahahaa I’m honored! Thank you! 😆❤️
Absolutely wonderful 👍❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Shizuka as always makes it entertaining and informative
Always!
I'm sure there's so many funny behind the scenes moments caught on camera. Would be cool to see a blooper reel video
Very Cool!
Thank you!
Another weekly dose of Shizzy!
Yay yay yay!

Thank you so much for your support!
Favorite anime/manga with such great history so i was fan boying this entire video. I love gegege no kiatro and i wish i could visit it for myself. mizuki-san is one of my favorite authors not only in yokai research but as a entertainment creator and honestly he's inspired me alot. So thank you for doing the video and making my nekomata heart happier the Nezumi otoko when he's cash......in short thanks
OMG..i was literally salivating..❤ to cameraman for an amazing job.
He is a real pro!
What a cool, funny and creepy video about yokai Shizuka! Thank you! But sorry you got soy sause on your hair.😢 Yabai!
Haha thank you!! I was just so lucky it didn’t drip on my white shirt 🤣😅
Glad to see Jindaji is getting some well deserved attention, such a hidden gem!
Every video better than the last.
We are trying ^^
I am a SUPER BIGGEST fan of Gegege no Kitaro! ^^
Scariest but lovely and delicious food
Very true!
Kowaiiii!!! 👻
:P
When I visit japan, i am going to steal one of your backpacks Shizuka. Don't worry i am not a creeper but i am a master thief tho. You hve been warned 😂😂😂😂😂
I have been a fan of Kitaro since 2014. I was glad some of the manga was translated into English. But I really wish the Kitaro anime series and movies were on North American Bluray! I'm just finishing the 2018 series.
Nice pood ..❤❤❤❤❤👍👍🙏
Not gonna lie, I was waiting for her to describe one of the foods as "nutty". Lol. I feel she hasn't said it as much, or if at all, since she became aware of it. =/. What happens when starts eating foods that actually garner the description of "nutty"??? Will she describe it as "legume inspired"? Well this went down a rabbit hole. Lol. Fun video idea, a compilation of Shizuka describing foods as legume inspired! Haha. I kid, I kid (sort of). Enjoy your videos as always. Hoping to cross out Japan off my bucket list soon! Cheers!
I guess we have to wait and see :P
Lol! I only use nutty when foods taste nutty! None of them were nutty this time 🤣🤣
Do some haunted places in Japan pls.
❤️❤️❤️
Deep fried soba manju seems yummy never tried that yet!!!
It was a very nice treat! We have never tried anything like that before!
@@JapanbyFood experiences!!!👍🏻
This Anime is so underrated but still is great
We think so too!
😮😮👌👌👌🎉
❤❤❤❤
I would like to order a soy-sauce flavored Shizuya!
Chill neighborhood, would love to visit Kitaro Chaya someday. As a GeGeGe no Kitaro fan, glad to finally have some new horror/thiller anime this season (Zom 100 and Dark Gathering)
Glad to see Kitaro fans here! You would love wandering around Chofu!
Shizukaaaaaaa
Ate too much red bean stuff since childhood. Green bean stuff feels more sophisticated.
Green bean stuff is a whole new level!
0:37 dat one cute Onidere type girl you're crushing on lol, aren't you supposed to dip the Soba and not your hair in the tsuyu? heheh, I have not heard of GeGeGe no Kitaro but I'm going to check it out now, love the character designs
Gegege no Kitaro is a classic! Let us know how you like it!
しずかさん、ビデオをありがとうございます！
日本文化や日本の民話や歴史に関する動画をもっと作ってください。
ところで、私と妻はあなたのファンです。
がんばってください！
The green bean paste reminds me of British mushy peas.... lol
Very similar texture!
Her ears fit her so well. And even when is 80 they wont be saggy 🤣
I've never quite grasped the appeal of Japanese manga; there are a few exceptions, but it's not really my cup of tea... Anyway, I recently attempted to make a salad with rice glass noodles, but unfortunately, it didn't turn out as expected. I would prefer to eat that bowl of Plum Soba it looks delicious! 😋😋
Have you tried Anime as an alternative? Not that I've read any Manga but I did enjoy Marvel comics as a child.
@@nathanielmills4678 Yeah me too I read many Marvel comics as a child specially the X-Men! 😄
Not into the creepy ghouly stuff...but the food looks good for themed restaurant.
is the picture taking of food and everything behind the scenes or is the entire staff master level at discipline and professionalism
We try our best! ^^
Although I am unfamiliar with the manga, the food stops look delicious so I'm interested!
Give it a read! It is really interesting and you can learn a lot about Japanese mythology. And yes, the food was great!
Ge ge ge ge ge no ge...
“It doesn’t taste like anything” 😂
:P
Yokai monster was an end boss in Seikendetsu (Secret of mana) on SNES
We had no idea! :O
My God how did she do that disappearing act at the end? It was so fast.
Ninja!
Are there any spots in Japan that do wood carvings?
in Toyama prefecture!
@JapanbyFood please 🙏 go. I wanna see what it's like the art form and just the time that goes into it, and I'll buy food 😆 🤣 and it won't be no peas
Regarding the paste how does something "taste greener"? 😉
I’m hoping it some green (bean-like) flavors come to mind that’ll help you imagine! 😂
@@ShizukaAnderson 👈 LOL, OK I get it...
you are such a beautiful man
OMG, I did not know they have Gegege no Kitaro street and cafe in Tokyo! I thought that they only have that in Tottori. Thank you for this! Subscribed!
Never trust anyone who eats peas 🫛 as a sweet 😆 🤣
Don’t knock it til you try it!! 😆😆
I want to know about Japanese halal food...
Thank you for the suggestion!
Damnnn.. she’s 🥵 🔥
no thanks i’m a scaredy cat 👻👻👻👻👻👻
The yokes here are mostly cute :P
soy sauce hair!
:P
Does your crew also eat the food you sample?
We do :D
First!
You are!
