Some Oh, nice. M. Oh, and this sounds and I saw this this on maybe 
YouTube. Yeah, I see that’s the one. Oh. Oh, they small like maybe before maybe 
before and after two. They’re getting ready. And these are kind of be out 
like I I didn’t see that. Oh, it’s uh like using the gun run gun here and 
shoot that one. Yeah. And you can get if you sometime sometime like it’s a festival 
things. Yes. So you usually it’s a this one is a kind of special thing like 
it’s stay here. Okay. But usually it’s on the festival. That’s why they 
they kind of trick like put some stone or it can be like really heavy even do not 
move. It’s time. You often play this game at ah very old own elementary school like 
there’s a summer festival in the local area like local shrine each local shrine and some 
it can be scary like like guy like like cook and noodles and higher than usual price 
and like that kind of entertainment. So after I grow up, I I it’s it’s really 
fun, but also uh I I think about the cost and game. I’m I’m so too too mature. Cannot enjoy 
reality. I see. But it’s it’s really fun. Yeah, it’s fun. It’s fun. Festival like festival 
is like something not not daily life. This amber And the imp impression of is 
like this. Mhm. And and the comedian and and also this kind of theater like and Asakusaa was kind of the entertainment 
city like the like theater, comedy and movie theater. Oh, okay. But uh they are so proud of 
themselves. So they reject the the big train line like we don’t need that. That’s why 
the Shibuya is now bigger than here. Oh, okay. The Yamanote line. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Mhm. So, there was plan to come the Yamanote 
line here. I I thought I’m not 100% but this is a Monja. It’s a there’s one. The Monja 
is something really difficult to wow it’s a small okay and this big one is osaka style 
kind or okay west style and west style and east style the culture will be different okay 
okay and I think it’s especially on Tokyo. Oh, and on Hiroshima there’s a noodle inside or 
like the there’s cultural difference similar things. Oh, okay. In this one too. Uh it’s 
it’s a I think it’s a Tokyo one and Osaka. Oh, Osaka without noodle thing. 
I I saw that I I thought okay and these are is a how can you say a pub or   restaurant of alcohol and so 
many comedian drink here and And this kind of the it’s really early. So 
anyone doing here but they bring the like chair and desk and just come maybe 
around here. Maybe that’s the line. Oh, I think this one is a traditional. Yeah, 
the one with the wood broke to the table. I can see the cracked car the blue one. 
I think that’s the amazing Y. Uh so uh more than 7 70 or 80 years 
that it’s a long time. Yeah. At least there’s a like uh same company of 
the fish trading. Yes. It says that so that I think that’s why cheap price and better food. 
Yeah. And that’s why they keep their store keep staying here. Yeah. Perhaps. Yes. Yes. I think 
now here the price of the rent is really high. Maybe because of the tourism need. Yeah. 
Mhm. But staying here long will be some uh some good food or drink some maybe 
atmosphere that many people come here for the old Yeah. culture. Yes. Yes. It can be it’s 
also nice like really new and fashionable. Yeah. But that this crowd is small and really 
dirty is also tasty. Yeah, I understand. That’s very nice. Yeah. And this road 
is not organized because the the own era or like before that they are not like 
the like they did not make the story for the car. That’s why really really awkward. 
Yeah. Like that. Yeah. Okay. So I I really enjoy that kind of Uh awkward street. 
Yeah, maybe because of the culture. Which way you want to go? It can be maybe. Yeah. Oh, and this says the some uh the food like 
uh not actual food but the stage four stage food the theater theater. So they sell the for 
the and also this is especially for the theater and these kind of things small things. Okay. 
Okay. Yeah. Maybe something like that. Yeah. And sometimes they say second hand 
like cheaper kimono. Oh yeah. Oh. Oh, and this is also kimono. The Oh, the 
traditional. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wow. And I think it’s a maybe from cheap to expensive. Yeah. 
Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. This one is extensive. And I think the really expensive one is made 
with ste. So really really expensive. Uh cheap one is like the like chemical kind of thing. 
Yeah. Yeah. So I think these are cheaper. Yeah. Oh, and this one is a uh like old 
harute like American Harut. Oh, there’s a the hand of the star. Yeah. Maybe 
they imitated this. Okay. Wow. Mhm. Yeah. And this is also co is a kind of public theater. 
Oh, okay. So maybe only actors or celebrity. Oh, maybe comedian. Comedian. Oh, 
and comedian and theater. Oh, I think I think I I I have impression. Mhm. 
Maybe some music kind of things maybe. But I have impression some comedian doing some 
uh thing on here. Oh, and this maybe the theater kind of thing. I have impression of that 
kind of theater things and also that comedian. That looks funny. Okay. And the traditional uh singer uh like

like maintain the quality or like the it can be the refrigerator for that for like these kind of 
things everything is for the rob. Uh it can be uh like it can be the fish not good for the raw 
fish. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that’s why the the raw fish culture is there. I think that that 
can be the reason Japanese is cheaper. Maybe like the like cooked fish is like lots of fish is 
for cooked fish. Oh, I think it can be the some reason. Yeah, I guess. I have no evidence, but I

pan because of the sugar thing. Yeah, perhaps. But it’s going to go a little recently Japanese generally is more 
hacky. Oh. M and this is kind of the thing like coffee and I feel the impression 
like French bread is like hard. Yeah. Is that the truth or Yeah. like it’s very 
it’s kind of crispy but it’s long and um like bucket. Yeah, like that. Yeah,   exactly. And uh like cutting and with cheese 
and with wine. That’s great with cheese. It’s like I feel like I’m going to We use it for a 
lot of things. So to put butter on it, butter and jam perhaps to um when you finish your dish, you 
know. Mhm. We love sauce and we Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah. Yeah. In Japanese saying 
that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. What’s the favorite bread? French bread in uh 
what’s your what’s your favorite bread? The baguette. Yeah, the simple one. I like it. 
Um and it’s kind of difficult to uh have um a good bakery. Yeah. Yeah. Bread. Yeah. sometimes 
uh it’s it’s not quite good because the baker uh buy it uh fresh and just uh bake. Yeah. They 
don’t bake themselves like on factory making huge amount and like deliver. Exactly. And they 
just uh put in the to cook just to cook but they don’t make it. And yeah, sometimes um it’s um you 
have bakery but uh they do some dessert. Dessert. Yeah. M and sometimes they’re good for dessert 
but not quite good for bakery you know. Yeah. Yeah. So it’s fancy dessert and people come but 
the bread is so so Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I because um the the job is you learn the same but 
you can be good at one but not for the two kind of things. Oh, it’s complicated. Yeah. Yeah. 
Yeah. Yeah. And I has a bakery is really like they need to wake up early to make the bread. 
Oh yes. Yeah. Yeah. So I saw the hour. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Morning. And every day. So yeah, I 
I can understand they like bring they buy from factory. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And for but 
uh some really good baker like is actually doing like wake up wake up at 3:00 a.m. Yeah. Yeah. I 
have the I have seen that kind of documentary in Japan too. Yeah. It’s a small bakery like in like 
small uh small house in the parking really tiny one but a person that he is really passionate 
and wake up in the dark and yes yeah yeah mhm I have the impression and I understand that each 
bakery a different case. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Totally right. and sometimes this small bakery they are 
very good very good because they um have the technical the experience and uh sometimes you can 
see very beautiful uh new and very very beautiful but it’s it’s not that you The taste random 
it’s not like 30 years on the local and they they are master of the so like the company can 
build a building but they cannot uh like uh like they cannot force to work the baker. car like 
the local profession. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But in France, it’s more and more difficult to 
have a local as a professional. It’s very very expensive. Oh, really? Yeah. Are the the 
round or Yeah. the round because you can have your shop but it’s not yours. It’s a rent 
shoe in and it’s very very expensive. Yeah. So like startup is really difficult. Yeah. 
A lot of company and bakery or whatever uh close because of the price of the price. 
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I saw the news like this ago like years ago like like on France like 
maybe the Champs-Élysées street like the local bakery is closed and Yeah. Yeah. I heard that 
kind. Yeah. Maybe similar things happening on Tokyo too. Yeah. Yeah. And it can be some ramen 
shop or it can be bakery or sushi restaurant or battery is really I think it’s really tough 
like they need to like they cannot talk and also They need to sell on the day. Yeah. 
Yeah. So really need to systemize but for individual and maybe starting up 
and 20 years old or 30 years old you can choose to sell uh for 
the day and the day after but not the day after after it’s two days. 
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s right. Is it fast me? I like it. You like it a lot. And it’s no me 
inside, but the shape or the the cut. Yeah. Uh uh I’m not sure it’s me or but it’s it’s say 
me for long. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe uh 40 or 50 or 60 maybe 50 or 60 years 
old maybe. Okay. Uh not traditional but not new like in between. Oh yeah. 
Yeah. Yeah. 60 60 years ago. Maybe like 19 uh 60 or 70 maybe. Oh, it’s not 
it’s not far away. I think the there’s a the Hamburg steak and omelet rice shop. 
Yeah. Yeah. I think the same era. Oh, I I feel that kind of impression. Okay. Yeah, it’s sunny and start to get hot. Oh, yes. Now it’s difficult to walk like that. Oh, and I have the typical image of Asakusa 
is like this like many people call it and on morning it was totally different because it’s 
not like this. Yeah. Yeah, I have this image. Now it’s all like honey and I’m just supposed to be there. Yeah. And these are shoot. Yes. And is is showing me guardian is 
here. So bad one did not come that’s why two things are huge. So demon did 
not come because there’s huge guardian Oh, and now it’s totally behind the world. And in Japan that kind of umbrella the 
sang umbrella doing that and I I don’t think that in other countries. Not in France. I will say it’s not that hot uh in France, 
but this summer it was Oh, really? Yeah. It was very difficult. Yeah. Uh because we have 
high temperature. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And don’t uh they still hot uh day and 
night without any wind. Oh yeah. here in Japan too like uh uh like 
getting hotter and fer year by year and maybe in 10 years is really totally 
different. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and especially in Tokyo maybe the the asphalt the 
ground is like less nature than other prefecture Yeah. Uh the the uh it’s Tokyo is 
hot. Okay. Because uh like less in nature than other prefecture. So the rate is   uh higher and higher like the the south 
is cold. Okay. And usually it’s opposite. So, it’s something insane. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and there’s some new brand new snack. Yeah.   Yeah. Maybe. Uh I’m not sure.

Join me for a unique and unscripted day in Asakusa, Tokyo! This 2-hour and 30-minute video begins with my solo morning journey on the Ginza line, arriving at an almost-empty Asakusa Station. I start by experiencing the morning calm of the iconic *Kaminarimon Gate* , Nakamise Street, and the majestic *Sensō-ji Temple* before the crowds arrive. My day takes an unexpected turn with a bad fortune slip from the temple’s Omikuji—a funny start to a memorable day!

The adventure truly begins when I meet a French traveler at the temple. Our spontaneous conversation evolves into a shared tour, as I offer a local’s perspective while she shares her first impressions of Japan. We walk through the now-bustling Sensō-ji grounds, where she gets her own *Goshuin* stamp as a souvenir.

We then venture into Asakusa’s quieter side streets, discovering the authentic local life that many tourists miss. We see an energetic Jinrikisha guide in action, passionately explaining the town to his tourists and helping them take photos. Our mid-morning hunt for a snack leads us back to Nakamise Street, where we finally get some fresh *Ningyō-yaki* and a warm *Melon Pan* to enjoy during a well-deserved break.

The video concludes with a spectacular view from the top of the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center. We get a stunning panoramic shot of the *Tokyo Sky Tree* and an incredible high-angle view of our entire route, from Kaminarimon all the way to Sensō-ji.

This video is about more than just landmarks; it’s a shared experience of two people from different worlds connecting through a shared passion for travel and culture.
