Watch your waist lines guys, all that food might catch up with you both 😂. Great vlog, thank you for the share

What I like about tokyo is to just keep walking and explore the entire city by foot. Absorbing the surroundings area and landmarks. Usually use googlemap when I felt I’ve wandered way too far from my hotel base starting point 😂

I am Japanese. The tablet game on the table at Kura Sushi, a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, doesn't do anything special, just a hit or miss game. If you win, a gachapon will come out from above. You need to play the game about 5 times to get a hit. Also, the one that this YouTuber took from the lane without any sushi on it is a plate that introduces sushi, and it says ``This sushi comes from here'', so please don't take it. . The only sushi flowing in the lane are plates in capsules. Also, people overseas only eat convenience store ramen because it's cheap, but Japan has a huge variety of dishes. too good to waste. Each prefecture has its own specialty dishes and sweets, so I'd like you to try a variety of them. There are also cheap restaurants. In Japan, there are many different types of noodles such as Japanese soba, udon, somen, kishimen, and hiyashi chuka, and there are many interesting ways to eat noodles depending on the location. Other common Japanese foods include pork cutlet, tempura, gyudon, meat and potatoes, chicken nanban, eel bowl, oyakodon, yakitori, yakiniku, and grilled pork, and Western foods such as Neapolitan, omelet rice, and hamburger steak, but there are many others that are not well known. There are many Japanese dishes that are not. Please try Google Translate or ask if they have an English menu.

Original rendering of Shinjuku, Shibuya. Don't stress Japanese words, especially place names.
Japan - UK cost comparison "Japan is so expensive (compared with UK)"
Rule of thumb: Japan is 40% the cost of Japan for many items. However, the exchange rate is a major factor.
Be advised: City is more expensive than suburban/rural areas.
Examples:
-Houses (suburban/rural), only 10-20% of UK prices
-Rented accommodation
-Passenger cars, new and used
-Auto insurance
-Motor fuel (petrol and especially diesel)
-Eating out
-Stationery items (100 yen shop)
-Alcoholic beverage
-Public transport
-Clothes/shoes
-Hotel accommodation
I may well be adding to this list.

I live now 6 months in Japan it’s so awesome. Best decision I made in my life

Prime Minister Sunak also visited a yakitori restaurant in Shibuya.
It seems that the stay was twenty minutes.
I will go to that yakitori restaurant too.

Great video. What was the average you spend on meals for a family of two for 5 days in Japan who take taxis vs public transport?

[shinebraver]

Do you guys have any tips on getting around safely? I dream of traveling solo but am super afraid of getting lost, especially in a giant metropolis like Tokyo where I don’t understand the language, or know anyone. How do you guys walk around so effortlessly and in the know? Would be so awesome if you guys could do a video on safety tips and getting around in foreign countries.

In Japan, supermarkets are cheaper than convenience stores. Bread, lunch boxes, and drinks too. In the evening, there will be a discount sticker, making it even cheaper. Drinks are also less than 100 yen.😊

Thanks for such an informative video! Quick question: when you use Apple Pay to pay for the subway, does it work with your "regular" credit card or did you have to add the Suica card to your apple pay? Do you think the Suica card is necessary?
