TINY Japanese APARTMENT TOUR Near Ueno Station | Tokyo, Japan

Показать описание
In January of 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to spend twelve days exploring and filming the Asian island nation of Japan. It’s something I’d always wanted to do and I’m so glad I finally got the chance, because everything about this country blew my mind and I can’t wait to share it all with you!

In-between going on street food tours, I decided to give you guys a tour of the Tokyo Airbnb where I spent two days after staying at the Hyatt Regency. It’s in the Ueno neighborhood in central Tokyo and really close to Ueno Station, one of the largest train stations in the city. I teamed back up with my buddy Shinichi from TabiEats, who helped me film! Come along with us as we tour my apartment and go on a mini-adventure afterward!

My studio apartment was at the top of a long and steep flight of stairs. Just enter the code on the lock, insert the key, and you’re in! It’s important to take off your shoes when you enter an apartment in Japan, so my host supplied some slippers near the door.

My bathroom was tight but futuristic, with a luxurious toilet with a bidet and various settings and a small shower. The studio also had a kitchenette where you can cook some meals, along with some cabinets, shelves, a hot plate, and a dishwasher. The shelves had some cups and pans to cook with.

The main room had two twin beds, a TV, a small couch that was very low to the floor, a closet with some extra pillows, and a coat rack. On a small table, there was a rice cooker, a water boiler, and a microwave. My windows looked out at a neighboring building.

All in all, the apartment is small, but efficient. It had everything I needed and was close to Ueno station, a nearby park and zoo, Asakusa, the Akihabara area, and more. I really liked it, even though it was kind of hard to find, even with the directions provided by my Airbnb host. According to Shinichi, Tokyo has no street names, so it makes getting around a challenge sometimes.

After the tour, Shinichi and I decided to head to a convenience store and get some sake! We found a FamilyMart and targeted the alcohol section, where we found a variety of beers, a Japanese alcoholic drink called chūhai, whiskeys, and more. But I was here for sake, so we bought a bottle and then headed to Tokyo Metropolitan Ueno Park.

It turns out there’s a lot to do in the park! In addition to containing a zoo, there are also several museums, including the National Museum and the Museum of Natural History, as well as a Shinto shrine called Hanazono Inari and a pond with row boats.

After walking through the park and under some torii gates, we found some seats near the pond and opened our sake! It was only Shinichi’s fourth time having it, while I’d probably had some a few hundred times in my life! It was really nice and super dry, and not fruity at all. It was super smooth and pretty strong, but since we were sharing it, it was nothing.

I hope you enjoyed watching my Japanese apartment tour! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. And please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. I will see you in the next travel food adventure!

Thank you so much for this video - we have booked this very apartment for our first trip to Japan in a few weeks! Nice to know all the little things (tricky to find, awkward stairs, etc) so we are more prepared as we'll be super jet lagged! Nice to see Shinichi in the video too - love TabiEats! All the best to you both x

You forgot to mention one important feature about the toilet. The seat is heated. A must for Japan's winter.
