How We Spent The PERFECT 24 HOURS in TOKYO🇯🇵

Thanks to Magic for sponsoring today's video!

Today we have a two-night layover in one of the world's most exciting cities: Tokyo, Japan😍🇯🇵 We got to spend a full day exploring and experiencing this city that we've been to before, but that we haven't really explored past the surface.

What's more? The day was planned for us by an AI🤖😮

We’re Oskar🧔🏻 and Dan👱🏻‍♂️, and we believe that anyone regardless of who they are deserves to live their dreams! For the past nine years, we’ve continued pushing boundaries by traveling and living all across the world, including places like Uganda, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia. In 2022, we reached a huge milestone by visiting 100 countries and we’re now on a mission to keep sharing our journey and hopefully making the world a little more open, compassionate, and peaceful along the way❤️

Thank you for being a part of the journey!

Japan was country 38🌍 (First visited in 2018)

In this video, we start the day at our hotel in Ginza. We walk over to the Hamarikyu Gardens where we enjoy a matcha tea ceremony on the lake with traditional Japanese confectionery. From there, we continue through Little Italy and the countless convenience stores to a traditional ramen restaurant called Tokyo Ramen Tower. We then explore the Zojo-ji Temple before catching the metro to Shimo-Kitazawa, where we go shopping for vintage clothing. To cap off the day, we head to Shinjuku station and walk from there through Harajuku down to the world-famous Shibuya crossing. Such a fabulous day!

Thank you for watching!🙏😍

I've been to Japan 12 times (3 times this year) and I still think about it every day. You can never get bored of Japan!

[stj]

I've only visited once, but I think Japan is the most interesting country on earth.

I only got back yesterday from a month in Japan. Everything about the place is amazing. Don't forget to do some of the smaller cities/towns as each one has something to offer.
I'm glad you figured out there are multiple train companies in Tokyo, something which confuses most people!

I enjoyed this video.
Natto is first stirred well, then the sauce or soy sauce in the box is added and stirred further before eating. The beans themselves have no flavour, but the combination with the sauce, soy sauce or mustard makes them tasty. It is sad that many people don't know the correct way to eat them and dislike them. I love natto.

[SaschaReinhard]

The way I like natto is by adding the hot mustard that's provided in the packet. It makes the weirdness go away or numbs it but at least natto is healthy!

In spring, go to Tokyo for cherry blossoms.
In the summer, go to Okinawa, where you can see coral reefs.
In autumn, go to Kyoto and Nara for the autumn leaves and temples.
In winter, head to the ski resorts of Niseko and Hakuba.

I thoroughly enjoyed your whirlwind tour of Tokyo. All the food you had looked so delicious it made me want some ramen. Looking forward to your next destination.

Just two more weeks until I finally get to return to Japan myself 😁 I cannot wait! Visiting Hokkaido, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka and the lakes around Mt Fuji over a 10 day period 😎

so that "tofu" pudding you found at family mart, it's called Annin tofu but it's not really tofu at all. there's no soy beans, but it's a chinese dessert also known as Amond jelly, so if you go to a chinese restaurant (even in the US, not sure about Sweden) you can probably find it. if you go to a chinese restaurant in japan it's almost always available as a dessert item. if you got to a big supermarket in japan you also would be able to find it.

[alexsakon]

from a japanese person, let me teach you the proper way to eat natto because you two are doing it all wrong. you have to get the sauce and mustard that should've come with it. the sauce is sometimes plain soy sauce or it could be soy sauce with dashi. you first have to mix it pretty well until it has a constant consistency, THEN you add your mustard and the sauce and further mix it. then you put some over rice and eat it. it wouldn't taste right at all the way you two ate it, without mixing, without sauce/mustard, and nobody eats natto on it's own, it's something that needs to be eaten with with rice.

The Tokyo subway is supposed to drive me crazy, but the desserts there are supposed to make me happy!
Thank you for taking me on a trip to such a strange country, super great job! 👍🥰🙏

Hey Boys! Your content has always been first class, but, as a long time subscriber, I have to say the new vibe is just perfect & though all your pro-Japan vids have helped make it look extremely appealing, including this most recent one. I am finally arranging a trip for next year, with a friend of mine who is a photographer, ; I'm fascinated by ancient history & anomalies - something that this country which seems so futuristic, is actually full of - so he's going to make a film & I will share the narration/presentation with his son.
It's such a pleasure to see the two of you looking so well, relaxed & enjoying each others company, long may it last. As ever, very best wishes to you&yours💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤️💯🙏👋⭐️'s💯✌️

May you have a fantastic day and many more to come❤🥰

[ayapinkbug]

Thank you for your great video and visiting Japan. I’ve been working in Tokyo more than 10 years and my office is right across from Hamarikyu Garden that I have never been to…😂 I will stop by there for a break next time when I go to the office.

[BlairRichardson-ub]

What a wonderful 24 hours in Tokyo, loved the video guys. Most favourite moment has to be the convenience stores 👌😂 thank you 🙏

[andreacarboni]

You can't go wrong with Japan-related content!

[DENTYUcord]

As a Japanese, I was relieved and happy to see a video of a foreign YouTuber enjoying Japan in a normal way, but I am puzzled by such a self.
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed.

[lily]

Welcome to Japan! You should stir natto before eating and it will taste better ;) The tofu pudding is originally from China FYI. Anyways, nice to see you guys were happy 😃

[patriciafuchs]

Tokyo looks amazing. Magic is doing a good job finding things you like to do…. Like eating Ramen! When it rains, it rains! Umbrellas to the rescue!
Totally enjoyed this!
