Tokyo, Japan travel vlog — why does everyone love this city? I brought my skeptical dad to find out.
Greg doesn’t use Instagram, has never been to Asia, doesn’t watch anime, and doesn’t even like big cities. So he’s exactly the right person to answer the question everyone’s asking: why is everyone so obsessed with Tokyo? Over one trip during Golden Week (the busiest week of the year) we eat and drink our way across the city to see if Japan lives up to the hype.
In this Tokyo travel vlog we cover:
– World-class cocktails at SG Club, one of the best bars in Asia
– Izakaya Street Food
– Ueno Park’s art and history — my dad’s favorite thing in Tokyo
– Riding the Yamanote line, the one subway line that connects nearly every tourist spot
– The Ameyoko street market and Golden Week crowds
– Omoide Yokocho (“Piss Alley”) and tiny omakase counters where you can talk to your chef
– The $18 mango, the all-you-can-drink darts bar, and the famous Japanese hospitality (shokunin)
If you’re planning a first trip to Japan or building a Tokyo itinerary, consider this your honest, unscripted guide to why people fall in love with this city: approved by the one guy who didn’t even want to go.
