Kabukicho is my home away from home. Lots of great places to eat such as Menya Kokoro, Go! Go! Curry, and Pepper Lunch.

Omg we've stayed in shinjuku this week and feel like we've missed alot of these things would recommend staying in the godzilla hotel though it's been an enjoyable experience 😀

Afuri is great. Although keep in mind not every branch does the vegan broth.

[sharonpinilla]

Great channel I stumbled upon….will be staying in Shinjuku so this was so relevant…where exactly is the food hall you mentioned in Kabuchiko?

[AinaandLouise]

Awesome tips as ever! May I ask where do you get your backround music? What are they called?

[aeternusREN]

Really helpful. Thanks guys. Unrelated to Shinjuku stuff but what is the name/brand of Aimee's brown jacket? It looks cool :D

[eglenceli_videolar]

[kerri-annkumar]

Hello, where do we find this wonderful map you spoke of?

[stefanlinne]

Thank you for your very informative videos. They help me a lot with my travel planning for 2025.

Many shops and sights in Tokyo open at 10 am and close at 7 pm. Do you have any ideas or recommendations on what to do in Tokyo from 8am to 10am and from 7pm to 10pm in summer with children (9, 13)?

I missed the fast food chain chikara meshi😢
