TOKYO Japan's 5 Busiest Tourist Traps to WATCH OUT for

preview_player
Показать описание
These are the busiest streets in Tokyo also known as Tourist Traps in Tokyo. We take a camera walking tour of Tokyo's busiest streets and I show you some local tip and tricks on how to beat the crowds while also showing you how busy Tokyo Tourists Traps can actually get. Now if you like walking around, in Tokyo's busiest streets, then by all means visit during the crowded times with all the tourists, but if you want to avoid being packed in like sardines on the street then definitely this video will have some useful tips for you. Tsukiji Fish Markets is probably the number one destination for most Japan Travelers as it is an amazing place to catch Japanese culture and Japanese street food, but you really need to be careful as it does get a bit busy on Saturdays as you can see from this video. This is also similar to Ameya Yokocho or in short Ameyoko. Ameyoko though is especially busy on weekend afternoons. Asakusa is the number one tourist trap in all of Tokyo and even on the winter it is crazy busy. I suggest visiting Asakusa at night to get a peaceful look at this magical area. Harajuku is a young persons destination with some tasty sweets, but watch out for the school kid rush. Finally, Shin Okubo also known as Tokyo's Korea Town is an amazing street food destination but it sometimes gets so busy that the train station exits close. Definitely be careful with this tourist trap location. The weekends are the most crowded times but weekdays can also be a mess, but hopefully it help you navigate through the busy streets of Tokyo.

1. Tsukiji Outer Market: Get there early (6-6:30 AM) and go on weekdays. And also avoid the tourist trap shops (*cough* Tamagoyaki)

2. Ameyoko - Arrive either 9 AM or 5-6 PM ish on Weekday

3. Nakamise - Asakusa - Avoid at all cost if you only have weekend. Go to the Shrine at 7PM ish

4. Harajuku - just go once, and never come back. Total tourist trap, especially with all the folks selling caps and stuff

5. Shin Okubo - DON’T EVER THINK OF COMING HERE ON WEEKEND

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video on what to do on the weekends in Tokyo! It seems like in all of your video's you say to go to a place during the week for fewer crowds, but then what should my friends and I do on the weekend's when we go (hopefully sometime in the next year)?

Thanks for the videos!! You rule. Came into Tokyo with my family for a long weekend from Los Angeles.. stayed in Asakusa at the Richmond... Really loved the temple early in the morning before everyone was even up . And all the backstreets were great for street food and was sent easy to walk around even on the weekend...so many of your videos were great... Went to a ramen place to mentioned in Shibuya. I'm still watching your videos and learning so much... And the best thing is everyone in the family loved them all ages... thanks!!

When I went back to Japan last year, my Airbnb was just down the street from Shin-Okubo station. So yeah, I can absolutely attest to it being insanely packed!

Last time I visited Japan was totally not thinking and ended up in Harajuku on a Saturday afternoon...not the best experience. But on the bright side, going down the varioua sidestreets and alleys I found a great Yakitori place.

That 360 camera made a BIG impact! You can really get a feel for the amount of people and layout of the streets with that footage. Thanks for all of these helpful videos! I'm planning a trip for a few weeks from now and I'm trying to get as much info as I can to make it run smoothly.

I haaattteeed Shin Okubo when I went (during the golden week) not because the area suck but because it was so busy. All the shop were so packed, I couldn't even shop because it took almost half an hour to get from one side of the store to the other. Plus the queue for paying and food were long, it wasn't worth it. It's definitely one of those area you need to visit on weird hours.
Takeshita-dori street was definitely manageable using Paolo's tip. The day I went, it was so busy that everyone was shoulder to shoulder and the mass just pull you along. I ended up going into the back street and cut across whenever the store I need was coming up.
