My FIRST TIME Exploring TOKYO 🇯🇵 JAPAN (20,000 steps in 4K)

Today I will take us to the heart of Tokyo, Japan, exploring some of the city’s most iconic spots, all while clocking in over 20,000 steps! Our journey starts at the modern and sleek Hotel Toranomon Hills before we head to the upscale shopping district of Ginza. From there, we make our way to the peaceful Imperial Palace grounds, where Japan’s rich history is beautifully preserved amid the bustling city.

Next, we visit the tranquil Meiji Jingu shrine, a sacred escape tucked away in the urban jungle. After that, it’s time to experience the energy of Tokyo at the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where we join thousands of others navigating one of the busiest intersections in the world. We’ll also stop for some mouthwatering sushi at Sushiro in Shinjuku before encountering the massive Godzilla Head looming over Kabukicho.

Our exploration doesn’t end there! As evening sets in, we wander through the atmospheric Shinjuku Golden-Gai, a collection of narrow alleys lined with tiny bars, and the nostalgic Omoide Yokocho, filled with local food stalls and the scents of grilled yakitori. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a Tokyo enthusiast, this video will take you on an immersive journey through the soul of this incredible city!

I love how this video turned out and your messages during it. As a photographer myself I applaud you that you didn't pull out your camera when you had a special experience. I love Japan and thanks for showing us more cool places.

Tokyo (and Japan) is such a SPECIAL place. I finally went this year - wow, just wow, incredible memories and I can't wait to go back

Usually Paddy will butcher a name for a couple of times before getting close to the acual name after that. This time the pronunciation of Shibuya was a shambles from beginning to end. Hilarious!

For myself as a cyclist, the vending machines were awesome while in Japan. Loved it that they were just everywhere. Up in the mountains, in the middle of endless fields, just random vending machines on the side of the road everywhere. They were clutch.

I love Japan. I’ve been there nine times . The last time I was there was in January 2023 for six weeks.

[JohannaVanWinkle]

So glad you are visiting Japan! I lived in Japan for 3 years. This time of year the weather is perfect. Looking forward to hearing about your explorations!

[ezzyt.v.]

Loving your videos mate, keep up the awesome work. You should visit New Zealand sometime

[AmbientWalking]

Wow! You are in TOKYO! Enjoy! Take care, Paddy!

I remember going to Tokyo 24 years ago and seeing coffee in a can for the first time !!! And to top it off it was in a vending machine !i was so amazed that i wrote about it in a postcard home :)

Unfortunately it appears that you didn’t really capture Japan with negative words such as “A touch dangerous, sketchy, dodgy, lonely, sad”… Japan is by far one of the most amazing countries on the planet, being extremely clean, friendly and incredibly SAFE…. I have never felt so safe in my entire life. I dropped my wallet and immediately it was in my hands, my wife her glasses… same thing. Transportation second to none, beauty is astounding. Sorry you didn’t have a great time . 😞

[markwilson]

Been looking forward to these vids Paddy. Was great to meet you briefly at the toon events

[mariettathornton]

We cannot wait to head over there Paddy! Flights and hotel already booked; but this won’t be taking place until March 😂 after our 3 months in Thailand 🇹🇭 Thank you for posting this video 😊

@paddydoyle you seemed to have no clue about the famous statue of the dog (Hachiko) in this video. You’re always so good at the facts around these types of local things.
Later today we watch a video of yours from a year ago in Chiang Mai in the “Tokyo” style area and you gave great interesting details about the statue of the same dog there.
Just thought it was funny as I was all thrown when you knew nothing of the famous story in this video. 😂

Love the videos. This just made me chuckle.

Tip- if u use the subway 3+ times in a day- which is highly likely for tourists get a all day subway pass (for both lines combined) - basically everything tourist typically want to see can be reached by subway.

I always loved how things make you travel or visit places... Whether it's a football match, concerts or a few star wars locations lol... It's a great random route to see new things man! Glad you had a good time man!

[goranmirkovic]

Paddy, great video and it's very easy! C'mon! Sushi ro! 😂

[cynthiahounsome]

I've been looking forward to this series. Looks like an amazing place!

[OMGs-Life]

the great thing with the vending machines is that you can buy "warm" coffee :D
loved it but yeah in general its nothing special at all.

[vrcommodore]

That’s a very informative video about Tokyo. You’ve done a pretty good job in making this video and making it easy to understand for a first time visitor to Tokyo. I’m visiting Japan around February and it’ll be my first time too
