Good morning everybody
It's very busy here so I'm not going to keep you too long
I just wanted to introduce the day
Right now I'm in Shinjuku and I'm going to go to Isetan then go visit a shrine
And then later in the day I'm finally going to go to Shibuya
Right in front of me should be the Isetan exit
And then I forgot the name of the shrine but as usual I'll include it and write it down
This is all around Shinjuku area so let's go to Isetan right now
I think it's this really fancy department store. I've seen Taylor R the youtuber go to it so
Maybe I'll see her there. Just kidding. So yeah I'll go check it out right now.
I don't want to bang my head on one of the low signs. As you can see the ceiling is pretty low
The name of the shrine I'm going to is Hanazono Shrine
I believe that today there is a flea market so if I find that it will be really interesting
And right now I'm looking for exit E2. I should be paying more attention
Otherwise I'm going to get lost
Oh, that way. I'm good
Ok, I'm back sorry.
This is a better place to vlog, the ceiling is higher, there are less people. Better choice
So I was saying about Isetan: super fancy. First I went to the ground floor
and it was all the beauty stuff like skin care and it was way way too fancy. I felt like a sore thumb
sticking out so I was like 'ok escape, I'm leaving Isetan' and then I noticed
The second ground floor like B1 there was a lot of food so I got food basically
I had a look around and you can order a Christmas cake already
There was a Christmas cake display available for pre order
There were a lot of traditional sweets which was what I was looking for
to cross off my list
And then... what else?
And then I went to check out the cosmetics real fast
And they were all you know, luxury brands like Channel...
So you kind of get the vibe that was over there. I didn't go up to the 7th floor
I went to the second ground floor which had the skin care
B1 for the food - I'm out breath
And then first floor for the cosmetics and then I came out and that was it for Isetan
Recommend. At least for the food
There was a lot more but I just bought two little sweets and then I got out of there because I saw
Sushi boxes and bento boxes and all these things which looked so so amazing
And another thing while I'm here
Check your exits when you're going to anywhere in Tokyo
Because as you can see I've been walking for a while now
And if I didn't know where the exit was I would've just been lost and never found the shrine
and would've got irritated so I know that Harazono Shrine
Is on exit E2. Coming up right in front of me
See you in a mo. Again.
So.. you can't even see behind me. Ok
It's raining so look well, look fast
This is Hanazono Shrine
And there's a flea market today
Sorry for the angle.. I want to keep this (dry). Maybe if I do it like that?
I'm trying to keep myself and my camera protected at the same time so sorry.
I just walked to... what was the name?
Shinjuku Gyoen
It's a garden basically
It's raining so I'm not sure it's the greatest of ideas... yet another garden
after yesterday's one. Yesterday's was really cool though I don't regret it
There you go: Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
How much is it?
Admissions fee... oh it's ok it's 200 yen
Yeah that's it right behind me
Since yesterday's garden was such a success I thought I'd try this one
But with the weather, I'm afraid I'll just get ruined
After this I'll probably go to Shibuya anyway so..
Let's do this
I want to see... let me see what type of thing..
Cuz I expect that since it's autumn going on to winter
things like chrysanthemum beds
Will there be any chrysanthemums available?
English landscape garden.. hm I think I know what that looks like
Traditional Japanese garden, I will go there
There's a Japanese tea house.. a bunch of Japanese tea houses
Rest areas
Ponds.. ike is a bond I think. I-K-E, ike
Yes I think so
Let's go... ok so I need to go...
I need to take a left and then the second right.
I'm getting good at reading maps guys. Sorry my face is so close to you
There you go. You're protected but I'm not
This is what I'm going to have to cross
I really don't want to have wet shoes for the rest of the day
But I want to get on that bridge. And I paid my entry so...
Oh no...
And swing
Ok this time maybe that way
Made it
Yas!
At least you can get this view
And you can walk with me on this bridge
Ok let's just do it like this again. Won't even focus -oh there we go.
And I'm already heading out because I do want to go to Shibuya today
it was the main goal. It's just that I noticed that I hadn't gone to this garden yet
in Shinjuku and I just...
I wanted to do it. I wanted to go to the Temple (Shrine!) and this garden
And to Isetan turns out
And the main focus for today is Shin -I am in Shinjuku!
I mean Shibuya, Harajuku
Since I went to a really nice garden yesterday, I did a short tour of this one today
So that was Uobei Sushi in the road right right behind me in Shibuya
And it was really fun to order and to see things slide by
The sushi is standard quality as it's not hand rolled
It was still good, quite tasty
So now I'm going to stop here because I'm going to have to walk into a crowd of people again
Because this is Shibuya obviously
Right behind this wonderful... you can't see what I mean but
These girls, whoever they are
Now I'm going to go to Shibuya 109
I'm going to go to Purikura No Mecca
And then... oh I still have to show you the crossing, I haven't properly seen it up close and Hachiko
It's what I'm going to do now
Just went to Shibuya 109. That's it behind me
I was just going to have a look and then I found Etude House which is a Korean brand
And you know I've really started to enjoy Korean brands so I had a look in there and a little shop
Bought a little something even though I said I wouldn't shop anymore
But more interestingly I got to experience and check out Japanese fashion
I expect that fashion here is more on the young side because what I've seen so far in other shops were more
subtle and a little more dressy and these are more like more ruffles and colours
and fur, I saw a lot of faux fur in there
So it's really interesting
I'm going to stop rambling. You guys are going to be like 'stop talking and do things'
I'm sorry. It's raining, it's hard to film with all these people
It's not that interesting for you guys at the moment so I can only update you about my own experience and what I'm seeing
And right now I'm seeing a lot of buildings, a lot of people, a lot of rain
And a lot of stores
Wow. So far Shinjuku and Shibuya have been most busy
Also it is Sunday so that could be the reason
I haven't been to Harajuku yet that would be next. Very soon. I still need to check out a few things here in Shibuya
Ok let's go
Hachiko and me
I'm in, yay
Ok, next location. Gah!
It's my second time crossing. The first time I just followed the crowd with all the umbrellas
I closed my umbrella, it's not even raining that much, it's barely raining
I'm at the front of the crowd
I'm going to try and find a spot though I think all the cafes around here which have a view will be filled
probably full up so...
I don't know guys
But we're crossing soon so...
This is your chance to experience this with me
Are you ready?
Here we gooo
This is it guys, I'm in the middle
Here's your shot
I'm looking like an absolute moron
But I did it, I went in the very middle of the Shibuya crossing
Yay
Forget it guys, there isn't any room to get a spot with a view
There are way too many people and it's raining out so it's full up
usually there's the Starbucks view and the l'Occitane Cafe view
And probably some other though these are the two I know of
I had a quick look from the outside and it looked full and then I went a bit closer and there's a huge queue so..
Let's forget about that and move on to our next location. I don't even know what it is but I think I'm leaving Shibuya
I think I'm going to Harajuku
It's almost 5 pm and if I want to go to shrines there'll be closed, if I want to go to gardens
I'll have the same thing as yesterday where they'll be just closing or closed
I'll figure something out
Guess what guys, what did I tell you
That it was going to close like the same thing as yesterday
Expect that I've just arrived and they're closing the gates right in front me so
Not even a few minutes left, they are literally closing the gates
I'm going to have to research what my next stop is because I wanted to go here
and then to Yoyogi Park which is kind of part of it
But that is a no go
I actually only have two days left in Tokyo
So I'm going to have to round up all the things I still want to do
And try to do them in about 2 days
I haven't even gone in the Tokyo area, the actual Tokyo area
I guess it's the Center? The Nihombashi area. I haven't even done that
Tsukiji... ok everyone is looking at me. I'm done.
I think this is the Omotesando area
And I'm going to go down this street. Don't know what it is but it was recommended on the map so I'm going to have a look in there
I'm going to explore this cute little road right now and then after that I'll probably head back to
Shinjuku where I stored my backpack in a locker
And then I'm going to head back to my hostel, check back in and then
I might even go to an onsen tonight
Feeling brave
I'm about to have my takoyaki!
There we go and it's raining so...going to eat these fast
and then move on
Let's see
Can you see them? They're dancing
Are these called bonito flakes?
It's probably really hot. Yeah can you see that?
if my battery dies, I'll have to let you know some other way that it was delicious because it probably is
It's super hot
But super good
The reason I'm holding my camera this way is because the street is tiny
So if I'm doing this and someone pases
It's inconvenient
Anyway I'm going to enjoy these
And I'll put you away for now because it's really starting to rain
And my takoyaki, myself and my camera are getting soaked
