As usual, Kensho Quest is the best for information on Japan. Very informative, concise and authentic. Thanks Kensho Quest.
This is a wonderful video! We'll be spending 5 days in Tokyo in July and this is the perfect video for us. We'll be going also to DisneySea and Disneyland because we are huge Disney fans 😅 looking forward to seeing other videos like this, maybe about Kyoto next 😊
This is so awesome. How can we thank you for sharing this video. Thank you so much to you and your family. This is a big help for us. We will be in Tokyo for 9 days this coming May and this itinerary is just perfect. We’re only staying in Tokyo and one day in Mt. Fuji so this video is perfect for our family. Thanks again. God bless.
thank you for the map
Very useful info, I'll report to you later when we meet about my trip plan from Yokohama –> Toyko –> Nagoya –> Kyoto –> Osaka from 25/4 to 30/4 😀😀😀
This is so helpful! Thanks!
Thank you for another awesome video guide of Tokyo 🤩
amazing review to each ward! I took so many notes and learned a lot from your videos ❤
I love your content and your videos are excellent for helping with my upcoming Japan trip!
However, I’d really like to see YouTubers stop recommending and listing APA hotels, their views and ideology are very extreme and dangerous.
Arigato for you videos..
My legs sore just watching and imagining walking around Tokyo..definitely need some foot massage there.
btw, is that mt Fuji from Sky Tree at 11:27?
once again, Arigato much for your awesome videos.
Thank you. Perfect timing as I am busy with my Tokyo itinerary for my trip in May 😀
Where's can I find your Google map pins 😢
Great information! I have 3 days similar to your itineraries! Time to execute the itineraries in about a week!
Wish we had this itinerary when we were here 2 weeks ago. Will save it for next time. Thank you😊
Do you ever visit places like Chiba City?
I'm visiting Tokyo again this late summer/early fall. Thank you for the recommendations!!
Great stuff! I loved Teamlab Borderless (there's that projector room just wow!!) and you've shown lots of places I haven't visited yet which I will check out on my next trip in May…
For my Tokyo trip this year, I'll be visiting the Snoopy Museum, the Railway Museum, the Toei Animation Museum, and Azabudai Hills (including TeamLab Borderless), plus some mandatory shopping in Nakano, Odaiba, Tokyo Station, and Akihabara. I'll also be visiting one or two capybara cafes as well.
Another great video…one question for you…if you could only pick 1 observation deck to look out from, which one would it be and why?
I love your content. I couldn't help but notice the amount of gluten free spots that are visited, which makes your content even more interesting to me. Would you guys happen to have a Google Maps List of GF restaurants in Japan or select prefectures?
Amazing video and thank you for sharing so many gluten free places. I feel more confident knowing some of your recommendations!
Great video! Many valuable tips on how to explore Tokyo. Thank you also for recommending places with gluten-free food; priceless knowledge for someone with celiac disease.
My wife and myself will be in Tokyo in six weeks. We will be staying in Shinjuku. Looking forward to going to Asakusa, Akihabara, ueno park. So excited about the trip. Thank you so much for this seven day itinerary. We will be in Tokyo for 14 days.
Incredible. Thank you for this. Really helped me with developing my 4.5 day itinerary.
Thank you so much for your very comprehensive Tokyo video…with even more videos to check on your channel! Definitely bookmarking this one 👍
I would love a GF video for Japan. That was the most difficult during our first visit, some great spots mentioned in this video.
I think it's despicable that you promise to recommend the best places to stay in Tokyo but that's nothing but an add campaign. No one wants a company to tell them where they thought would be convenient to spend their money
Another great video! Thanks. Regarding Rakuten in Hakone, they don't have a staff on site and you can't leave the luggage there or do early check in / late checkout. Is there a luggage locker nearby or even at Gora station? Thanks!
You have really helped me so much booking my trip at the end of July into August for me and my 11 year old daughter. Thank you so much 🙏
Your vlogs are some of the best. You have really helped me plan my days when we are in Tokyo July/August. I love that you walked everywhere. I was planning on using the metro, but it seems it’s sometimes more exciting to stay above ground and walk and explore. Thank you, keep up the good work
Its very informative. Thank u. Cant wait to go . A little bit apprehensive being first time
omg thank you for this going tokyo soon
Traveling with my wife and daughter in a few days, this has been very helpful
Currently in japan and I really just want to thank you guys so much. Your videos truly help me plan my honeymoon and we have absolutely loved every minute of being here. Your tips have made it easier to travel through japan so far. So thank you so so much.
For the day trip you mentioned for the Mt Fuji trip, are the walks "uphil" steep or long? I'm traveling with my elderly father and wondering if he would be able to do the walking around there. And I'm assuming there are places to eat and rest? Thank you.
Thank you for this guide! It's crazy because I'm planning my first Japan trip and after watching hundreds of Japan videos my 7 day itinerary almost perfectly matches this. My main fear was not knowing how much time to spend in each of these sub-cities/neighbourhoods, but after watching this I'm a lot more confident the 7 days will be a good pace that preserves discovery while hitting the most important places.
My itinerary looks like this:
Sunday: Arrival, half day in Asakusa
Monday: Shinjuku
Tuesday: Ueno and Akihabara
Weds: Meiji Jingu, Harajuku and Shibuya
Thursday: Tsukuji Market, Ginza and Odaiba(Teamlab)
Friday: Sanrio Puroland, Shibuya, Roppongi
Saturday: Mt. Fuji
Do you think I'm missing anything? I'm trying to fit a couple hours at Tokyo Station as well
@KenshoQuest Can you PLEASE do a 2-week Gluten Free holiday in Tokyo? Concentrating on proper Gluten free…not "can do or may contain gluten"… Nobody seems to have done that video yet and this is something I am desperate for advice for. With my 8 year old daughter a Celiac disease sufferer that is what is keeping us from visiting Japan as a non-Japanese native speaker. We are from the UK so good for UK or say America but really hard to go abroad due language barrier and local expertise. Japan is my all time favourate place to visit but diet and where to eat for Celiac disease suffers is holding us back. Your videos have been great touching on Gluten free so far but would appreciate a proper in depth Celiac disease Toyko/Japan wider video to help with where to go reliably when we are there. Thank you.
We had an absolutely fabulous trip. We owe it all to the two of you. Thank you so much!
Your channel deserves more subscribers🎉
Hello, I'm going to Japan next week. The hotel I booked was Hotel Metropolitan Kawasaki. Please let me know if this is a convenient location? Thanks
I have a question. what options are there to take you to your hotel from the airport and back?
