Metal Detecting with Japan Treasure Hunters - Imai Castle - Duration: 6:17.

Welcome to Japan treasure hunters. I'm Jonathan Lucas

and today we are in Ome City, which is on the outskirts of where we live over by Fussa.

We're at Imai castle as you can see here. This castle was built in 1522 by the Imai clan,

however,

a few years later

it was taken over by Hojo and

then it was reinforced and and more fortification was made in order to stop Uesugi who was coming down from

Yamanashi area.

This castle was really small

and at first, they thought it was a homestead that was just fortifide out of like a town councilman, whatever

but

come to find out that that wasn't the case. It was actually a castle and it's actually

kind of in the middle of a main road that the samurai

Used to travel and a river so it's kind of the lookout on both points.

So the trenches the balieys and the whole honmaru area should be really ripe to go digging in and so

I'm ready to get started

This is gonna be probably one of the last few videos of the season.

But that's alright because we're coming back next season for more so stay tuned and let's roll.

Alright so we just got up here to the honmaru area as you can see, it's not that big so I'm gonna assume that

the house or the the castle that was in here was not that big,

however,

you're gonna see what some of the shots the the trenches that it was pretty well

fortified in in they really wanted to protect it question is what are they protecting up from and

Really would the location of the place? I can't really see what it's around here to protect

it might be some farm lands, but I'm gonna we're gonna get started now. So checking this out

I don't think it's anything but trash but,

never know.

Absolutely, actually if you come on over here, it's a coin.

Let's see right there. It's a coin

and it looks like a Meiji coin maybe

Meiji coin no. Nope, totally wrong. It's a hundred yen.

Alright, so I says I've made a good tone here.

Kind of bounce around in the pull tab area, but that's alright

it's not a day less you find a full tab.

This looks like a really old weird one. Actually, I don't seen one like that before.

That's cool.

You know what but if you're a kid just be an awesome place to come play yeah,

I'd be up here every day.

So, I don't know if we're gonna end up doing what we did on the last hole

but you can see how I've already been digging a little bit off. Okay. It's not so far down.

That's cool.

This is it, I'm not sure

exactly what it is. Okay, it looks like a pulley but then again, it's got a triangle imprint on the back,

It could be something for a candle to hold a candle or a dish or something. That's pretty cool.

Awesome

So found a ring and found one of these before at a Takiyama Castle. Mm-hmm

Yeah, look at that, yeah looks just like the one from Takiyama Castle so could be the same thing.

Alright, so today we're done we just got done here at Imai Castle, it wasn't as

exciting as you might hope but it could have been but we did pretty well.

I mean found a six hundred and ten yen, which was odd to find something like that up to air, but I'm not gonna complain.

As you can see we found a lot of trash but the most interesting trash and this little story behind it

is this tin can does tin can is you've seen in the earlier video was down about I don't know a good 18 inches

it was face up

and one of the things that the Japanese like to do is before tax season comes around as they'll go out and they'll bury money

so this is just you know, and a guess that somebody went out there. They

they buried it came back after tax season went down god. It just took the cash out and left a can there.

It's a good theory. It sounds fun. So who really knows what happened?

You know what that can but overall was a great day. The weather was good

It wasn't too hot wasn't too cold was just right. So I think I think we're good for today. So catch you later.

日本Costco跟台灣價錢差多少?? | Shopping At Costco Japan | A Day In My Life - Duration: 13:52.

Put on a pot of coffee before bed...

so I can have coffee by just pressing this button here tomorrow morning

Anddd have a sip of this collagen here

and placenta...

After I'm done with all this,

I'll be ready for bed!

This is pretty much how my day starts

Brush my teeth and put on some makeup in the morning,

grab some coffee and yogurt,

pick up my cat Maru and sit down in front of the computer.

I usually watch sitcoms or comedies while having breakfast lol

Okay so that's pretty much my morning

I usually get up at around 5 or 6 am on weekdays because I have class

But on weekends I usually wake up at around 9 to 10 am

and leave the house after 12pm lol

I usually go to Costco about once every two weeks

Costco's a bit far, so I always drive there

As you can imagine, automated parking in Japan is way cheaper than single level parking

so I use automated parking

It's kinda a hassle, I always have to

input some kinda code...

Oh yeah I forgot to put in the key first

Safety check

Vocal check

Password

It says that it takes 3 minutes and 16 seconds for my car to come up

There are I think around 2 to 3 Costcos around Tokyo?

They're located in Chiba and Saitama prefecture

And I usually go to the one in Kawasaki

Unfortunately there is no Ikea beside the Costco in Kawasaki,

but usually there is one in the other Costcos

So I actually prefer the other Costcos, makes my trip more fun

But the one in Kawasaki is closer to my place, if I don't take the highway its around 40 minutes

and if I take the highway it'll be around 30 minutes

It's not much of a difference,

but if I take the highway I'll have to spend around two to three thousand yen on tolls

and it's not that much faster, so I don't really use the highway that much

I usually go to Costco once every two weeks to stock up on big packs of meat

The first thing you gotta do when you get to Costco is to go to the food court!

I love the clam chowder at Costco, and this beef thing

called Bulkogi (?) bake, its kinda like a beef burrito with onions?

Anyways so lets go get some food then go shopping!

So we got a bowl of clam chowder,

and a slice of pepperoni pizza

and a Bulkogi bake

a soft drink and a smoothie,

and that adds up to JPY 1,220, or around three to four hundred NTD

I don't think that's too expensive for Japan!

And plus the portion is huge!

It's always super crowded here, especially on Sunday afternoons

Damn that was loud, there are so many trucks here in Kawasaki

So anyways

it's always super crowded inside on Sunday afternoons

so we're going to eat outside today

I always get this, the 1.5 liter Sangriaaaa

Maru chan waiting for me at home...Oh I'm sorry I poked you!

What did you do while I was out?

Were you a good cat?

So I got a bottle of Sangria, and some snacks for Maru

A whole chicken for my herbal soup

And this beef here will last me a whole month

Andddd six avocados

which is around JPY 600

A pineapple around JPY 300

My favorite salamiii

and this bag of frozen fruits,

so I can make smoothies faster in the morning

This is JPY 10,809 in total

or around NTD 3,000?

These will last me around a month I think

The soup I can make with this chicken will last me like a week

and I'll separate this beef into little packs

with saran wraps or ziplock bags

that'll make things easier for me later on

Okay so I just put away my groceries, prepared some rice,

and while we wait for the rice to cook, I'll have to study a bit

I'm doing my MBA now

and we have two classes a day,

each class being 3 hours long

You have to prepare for every class,

so you'll have to read a thesis every day just like this one

You'll have to prepare in order to discuss and comment on the case in class

and that's a must, because discussion points are 50% of our total grade!

A thesis this long takes me around 1-2 hours to read and prepare

so what I usually do is to go over it one time the night before,

and I'll go over it one more time the next morning around 7 or 8 am

It's around 5 pm right now, and after I study and have dinner

it'll be around 7 or 8 pm

just in time for my shower!

The rice is ready!

I usually make Taiwanese food, so basically whatever my mom used to make

It's winter now,

So I made, well,

technically not today, I made a pot of soup last week

and now I have one bowl yet so I'm heating that up right now

The rice is ready now, and I'm going to have that with Ru Rou Fan (braised pork rice)

Japanese kitchens are usually smaller

I have two stoves here

which is actually bigger than some apartments

because some single apartments only have one stove.

But my sink here is smaller...

Sometimes when I'm making a big pot of soup, it's kinda hard to make something else on the other stove

due to lack of space

So I've got some pork here today, well, technically this wasn't made today either lol

I usually like to make a whole pot of food and eat that for like a week

and bring it to school for lunch and stuff.

So today for dinner...

Ru Rou Fan

braised pork, with some tofu,

and some eggs

THIS here is my dinner for today

a bowl of chicken soup

and a bowl of

ru rou fan (braised pork rice)

I HAVE to watch something while eating dinner

sometimes I'll go on Youtube

but I usually go for Friends lol

actually I've been watching friends over and over since high school

I've watched every episode and every season around...20 or 30 times now I think?

and sometimes

I just leave it on as background music while I eat

exercise, clean the house and etc

So I HAVE to watch Friends while I eat

but really I've watched this so many times,

so if you guys have any shows you recommend on Netflix,

please let me know!

Took a nice long bath, I'm kinda hot right now but it feels really nice

its around 10 pm right now

I studied and took a shower,

prepared lunch tomorrow

and now its time for my night routine!

I usually use SKII,

because I really care about my freckles and stuff

First step is this Facial Treatment Essence from SKII, you've all probably heard of this before

Apparently the correct way

is to use cotton pads and leave it on your face

but I always just massage it into my face with my hands

After the essence,

I use this Genoptics Spot Essence, a lot of girls probably know about this product as well

I think people call this the "lightbulb"?

This is for your freckles and spots

So I'll use a little bit of this...do you guys have freckles?

Mine usually pop up on my nose and cheeks

I really wanna get rid of my freckles...alright so the next step

Next, is this RNA Power thing

I'm not sure what this is called in Chinese though

Ah okay here it is

Usually its in a much larger bottle,

a big red one that kinda looks like lanterns during Chinese New Years

but I buy so much of their products that I usually get free samples whenever I go

but only in Taiwan though, Japan isn't that keen on giving out free samples

I have around 4 of these RNA power samples now,

so I need to use these first.

I really love this cream, its SO good

But apart from these skin care products,

which I've been using since a young age (well I'm still young now lol)

what I mean is that I've been using skin care products for a very long time now

so I think my skin condition is not too bad

But recently I've been trying to find some other ways

to take care of my skin

So I've been taking collagen recently

I believe a lot of people come to Japan to buy collagen powder or drinks right?

I've been drinking this swanky looking collagen recently

The brand is called 82x

and its from Oita prefecture, in Kyushu

So this is a collagen drink,

and it comes with a little plastic cup

so you take 25cc every night before bed (but only if your skin is really dry, I don't drink this every single day)

Apart from the collagen,

I also take this placenta drink, also from 82x

not sure what this is called in Chinese lol

This drink is pretty good,

and its made from 82 different extracts

like plants and other things,

so its really worth the price.

You're supposed to take 15cc per day

Oh I nearly used the wrong cup lol

The taste is a bit stronger than the collagen

and it tastes better refrigerated

Alright so that's pretty much my day

it's around 11pm right now

I usually try to go to bed before 11:30 pm

because tomorrow's a school day

so I'll have to get up at around 5 or 6 am to get ready for school

So the same routine everyday, I put on a pot of coffee

after my skin care routine,

so I can make coffee the moment I get up tomorrow

and put on my makeup and so on.

I hope you guys like this video,

today's been a pretty uneventful day,

just did some shopping, ate, studied, and now I'm going to bed lol

If you like this video, don't forget to like,

comment, and let me know what YOU usually do on the weekends!

Okay anyways, I'm going to bed now

Conan's Japanese Etiquette Lesson - Duration: 8:51.

There are many great reasons to visit Japan.

I had three trillion of them.

In Japan, the first thing that comes up if you Google

"Conan," is an anime character named Detective Conan.

He's a man who's trapped in a child's body.

Hello, Conan!

And this really blew my mind.

They have a city called Conan Town.

Clearly, someone's been making a ton of money

off the Asian version of me for 24 years.

So the other night, I reasonably asked Japan

to pay me three trillion yen.

Next week, I am flying to Japan

and coming to Conan Town to collect my money!

I'll be there!

I landed in Tokyo and almost immediately felt out of place.

Luckily, I found someone who would help me fit in.

I'm here at a company called Japanese Lunch.

They teach etiquette, language, culture.

This is Miss-- Hirayama.

You are going to help teach me.

Yes.

How to be very polite and proper while I'm in Japan, yes?

Okay. Konnichiwa.

Konnichiwa. Konnichiwa.

Yes, yeah, yeah. I just met you.

Yes, what's the matter, what did I do?

You push me. I pushed you?

I didn't push you.

Was I too close to you? Yes, yes.

Japanese people just bow. Bow and no touch.

Then-- No shake hands.

Yeah, this distance is very comfortable.

I am a hugger, I like to hug, is that bad in--

No. I'm a hugger.

No, I am not your girlfriend.

You're not my girlfriend.

Mhm. Okay.

No. No?

I hug, I mean, we can talk about that later.

Yeah, you are not my type.

Why am I not your type, what's wrong?

Face.

Face?

What's wrong with my face?

I like...

Beard. Just anyone else?

Anyone else is what you're saying?

Anyone else here. Keep the distance.

So you keep your distance.

Alright, so not too close. Mhm.

Bow from the waist. Then--

Have a different face completely.

Clearly an ugly nonstarter.

You have a business card?

Well, you show me yours.

Ah. Not ah.

What, did I just ah?

I just went ah, meaning, "Yeah, ah, I see."

What, what's wrong with ah?

Rude, sounds rude, ah. Okay, alright.

You have a name card?

I have card, yes. Yes.

Do you want to see my card? Yes.

There it is, that gets the attention.

What's wrong with that, you like that?

Your eyes, your eyes, I don't like your eyes.

You don't like my eyes? Yes.

In America, you don't tell people your face is ugly,

and I don't like your eyes.

I don't say ugly. You said not my type.

Not my type, yes. Yeah, okay.

But you keep saying that, you've said it many times.

Just, ah, too close, too close, respect my space.

Do I need to bring a gift when I enter a home?

Do I bring a gift? Yes, yes, yes.

Is it rude to give money?

Cheap. Cheap, so not money.

Not money. Not money.

No, thank you.

Did you want the belt, do you want the belt?

No.

Watch, could I give you my watch?

Yes!

It's a nice watch. Yes, yes, yes, please.

Yes, yeah, okay.

Unbelievable.

Oh, now you hug, right?

Thank you. Okay.

I'm getting that back once we're done shooting.

What kind of Japanese do you know now?

Now? Mhm.

I know there's different kinds of sushi.

Just a moment please.

Weida-San, she's my assistant.

Oh. Weida-San.

Where was she, you were just hiding in the corner?

Yes. Oh.

Did you hear everything that she said about my face?

Yes.

Do you agree with her about my face?

No, very handsome, I think.

Oh, well, hello.

If a man sees an attractive woman in Japan,

can I go?

Do you like that?

This is my first to see a human being make those kind of--

You haven't seen a human being make those noises before?

So you want to know ordering food--

Yes. Or greetings?

Excuse me, where did Weida go?

Hm? Where's Weida?

Where did she go, Weida?

What are you doing, why do you keep going?

What are you, you're like a person in a cuckoo clock.

Oh please, you may go back.

Yeah, back to your corner please.

When you need me. Yes.

I, yes.

You'll just magically appear.

So she's right there, but we can't see her,

but she's around the corner.

If you need, please call her.

Yeah, well, she'll probably get here pretty quickly

because she's right behind that wall.

I see her, I can see your hands.

Yeah.

Would you like gum? No, no, very rude.

What's rude about gum, what's the problem with gum?

No.

Weida-San.

Chewing gum, yes, is really--

Rude.

What's the problem with it?

It's disrespectful.

See, you are impolite, and you don't respect others.

Please, stop.

How many piece of gum? Yes.

I eat a lot of gum.

Please. Hm?

You want me to swallow this?

I would die if I swallowed this.

Where do I put?

Where do I?

Is it okay if I put this under the table?

No, you don't do that here?

Do you think I will be accepted here in Japan?

Why can't you just, why are you like this?

She does not think I will be accepted

by many people in Japan. Ooh.

Now, do you think I will be popular

with the Japanese women? Yes, yes.

Am I considered attractive, do you think,

to Japanese, why are you laughing at my question?

Why are you saying no?

That's terrible, let her answer.

If you keep the distance, then--

If you don't shout.

But I am a very expressive person, I move.

I jump, this is who I am, and you're asking me

to deny who I am as a person and not be myself.

These are the things I do.

I move, and I'm someone who--

Long legs. What's that?

Long. Do you like that?

Yeah.

You like that I have long legs?

Ooh!

Nice!

I like tall person. So this

is the part you like? Yes.

But this part, rest go away?

I've been here just a few hours,

and you're the first person I've met in Japan.

Hug.

Okay, you interested, you want a little of this over here?

Huh? Yeah, you need exercise.

What did you say to me, say it again, what'd you just say?

You need exercise.

I exercise all the time!

What do you mean I need exercise?

What?

What do you think?

Very fluffy.

But I think

I'm thought of as very lean in America.

In America, I'm lean.

Please, sit, sit here, yeah.

And you know where I'm gonna go?

I'm gonna go here. Hide!

Right here, fatty's gonna be back here.

The Great Nara Money Experiment | History of Japan 28 - Duration: 6:46.

Nowadays we all take for granted that you can pay for stuff with bills and coins, but

you know someone had to start that whole system up, right?

And there's no guarantee that things would work out.

In the Nara Period, Japan started making coins for money.

It was a great plan, it was gonna be stable, it was gonna make the government strong,

it was--it,

it failed.

Psst...hey guys, to see more videos like this and help the channel grow, click subscribe

and the bell, it only takes 0.9 seconds.

Thanks.

The next time you're at a cash-only Asian restaurant, frantically digging into your

wallet while muttering something about dirty tax dodgers, remember that paper and coin

money was an outstanding, TREMENDOUS idea back in the day, even though it's a pain

in the ass now.

Also remember that this is how we Asians take over America.

You white people may as well give up now.

You had a good run, let us take over and we'll do math and stuff.

Around the Nara time period, people were mainly using rice and fabrics as currency.

They used other things too, but rice and fabric were the most popular.

Those had problems though.

Rice took up a lot of space.

It could mold, rodents liked to eat it, and you couldn't store it for long, so you had

to spend your rice quickly.

Saving piles of rice for retirement wasn't an option.

Now fabric was...pretty good actually, but it could rip, and get stained, and get eaten

by bugs.

But the main reasons the Japanese Imperial court decided to mint coins was not because

of those issues.

The nobles in court wanted to conserve valuable goods instead of having people use them for

currency, and also they wanted

money money money.

Now if you think it's easy to get people to adopt a coinage system, think again.

In 708, the court released silver and copper coins to the public...

and immediately hit a wall of problems.

The silver coins were a bust.

In the early 700s, silver was rare.

The value of the silver in the coins was likely worth more than the face value of the coins.

But the face value was already too high for normal everyday usage.

Not only that, people immediately made counterfeit coins by mixing in cheaper metals, and the

fake coins began driving the good coins out of circulation.

The government soon admitted defeat and stopped the whole silver coin business.

Copper coins had a much longer run.

This was when the court was moving the capital from Fujiwara to Nara.

Copper coins funded the massive project.

The government put them into circulation by paying the construction workers with copper coins.

They also started paying in coin to government officials and workers on other projects.

Now when you launch a new currency, you want it to circulate.

People hoarding coins kept them out of circulation.

It turned out hoarders were a big problem, because we found a government order condemning

people who hoarded coins, demanding that they return the coins to the government.

To help with this problem, the court allowed people to exchange coins for court ranks,

basically buying government positions.

So things haven't really changed.

Inflation became a huge headache.

At first, it seemed like the copper coins were a major success.

They were worth much more than they took to make, netting huge profits for the Japanese

court.

People at the top were rolling in cash.

It didn't last.

Nature took its course and people started making counterfeit coins.

Think about how hard it was to catch a counterfeiter back in those days.

There were no serial numbers.

If you could replicate a coin, you could introduce it into the economy and it would have been

impossible to trace it back to you.

It would have been hard to even differentiate a real coin from a fake one.

A government document in 760 claimed that half, HALF, of all copper coins were fake.

The fake coins led to inflation.

The government saw this and thought, "Hey, let's make it worse," and made even more coins

faster.

It was too profitable not to.

And then, if that wasn't bad enough, something happened out of nowhere that no one anticipated.

Trump won the election,

no.

Between 735 and 737, a smallpox epidemic hit Japan, killing one-fourth to one-third of

the population.

Such a deadly plague deserves more discussion, but since we're just talking economics at

the moment, we'll just ignore all the death, destruction, and suffering.

The sudden drop in workers caused havoc in the supply chain and resulted in temporary

shortages of food and goods, driving up prices and inflation.

That was only temporary though.

In the wake of the smallpox epidemic, after the initial shortages, things were pretty

good.

Economically.

A bunch of people were still dead.

Which was a good thing.

Economically.

You see, being dead meant you didn't need to buy things.

And there were a lot of dead people who didn't buy things.

It drove down the demand for goods, allowing the high inflation to subside.

But then the court ran into another problem.

Having so many taxpayers die really hurt tax revenue.

They tried to counter this in a few ways.

They started offering government loans, which helped, but wasn't enough.

Then in 760, they minted another copper coin at a higher value.

Unfortunately, in an attempt to reap the prolific profits of the past, they made this coin 10

times the value of the previous one.

Inflation again skyrocketed, and didn't stop.

Over the next two centuries, they kept minting different coins at higher and higher values.

The coins kept getting smaller and contained lesser amounts of copper.

It was a mess.

In the 900s, the court finally said, "We give up,"

and stopped the coinage effort.

The government began paying in commodities again, like rice.

There were other factors that led to this, of course, but the mess they had with coins

was a big factor.

And so, the great Nara money experiment failed.

Japan didn't use coins again until much later.

Now just because they had to stop making coins doesn't mean the whole endeavor was a waste.

In fact, it was extremely profitable for the aristocracy in the Nara Period.

It swelled the Imperial court's wealth and funded many government projects,

including the Nara capital itself.

So if you look at it from the perspective of the people at the top, the whole thing

turned out pretty well.

here in Tokyo.

This is the center of something called 'kawaii' style.

It means cute style.

Think Hello Kitty.

And I'm here with Sebastian,

This is the style. Yes, yes.

Just kawaii style.

Everyday yeah.

Oh, I think you both look amazing.

But, feel like I just ate six pounds of Skittles

and then took acid.

Someone will translate that for you later on.

Okay.

And it still won't make sense.

Maybe it's like this for him.

Oh, like this? Little bit simple.

Oh you, that means. Good.

This is bondage.

Yes, yes.

You know.

Oh yes, I know bondage.

This might be too much.

Gonna be honest with you.

I don't think this is gonna work for me.

You know what I just realized we should do.

We should all go rob a cute bank.

What color do you call that?

For your hair?

What color is that?

Turquoise blue.

Turquoise blue?

strike earth sometime in the next day or two,

and that'll be the end of civilization as we know it.

Tell him I'm sorry I made him cry.

Well, I've been dressing this way for a long time.

And it's time for me to become kawaii,

Harajuku Tour of Takeshita Street + Kawaii Monster Cafe in Tokyo, Japan - Duration: 10:43.

Alright guys so we are back in Harajuku (原宿) and you're probably wondering why didn't we visit

it on our first day.

And yes we did but it was a weekend and it was so crowded that we could barely walk down

Takashita street.

It was just like a mass of people and we couldn't even go into the shops.

So we wanted to come back in the middle of the week with a bit more time so we can browse

the shops, go into the cafes, pick up a few souvenirs.

So yeah we're going to be giving you guys a little tour of Harajuku (原宿) showing you what

you can buy here, what you can see, what you can eat.

So let's get started.

So I'm already seeing some really cute souvenirs they have these wooden sandals.

They also have cute anime cartoon socks so I think I may pick up a pair for my sisters

and yeah just lots of cutesy stuff really.

But I mean we've only just entered so let's browse a bit more before we actually pick

up something.

Sam has a very interesting taste in t-shirts.

Do you want to show us what you got so far?

I love it man.

Look at that.

It is a Hello Kitty collection.

Matching shirts?

No.

For the bros.

I don't know.

I think we're going to leave Sam alone on that one.

This is Sam's spirit animal.

Guys we have already found another cat cafe.

This is the Mocha Cat Cafe that we also visited in Ikebukuro so they have a few locations

across the city including one here in Harajuku (原宿).

Kawaii socks.

I think I'm looking for something a bit more cartoon-y.

Three for 10 bucks.

Okay another interesting thing about Harajuku (原宿) is that they are all about the sweets.

All about the sugar you can get all sorts of treats including these crepes covered in

chocolate and fruit.

Oh my.

Except for the one savory one which does not look appetizing at all.

Yuck.

So we were feeling pretty hungry so we decided we're going to go to the Kawaii Monster Cafe

first and then do a little more browsing and shopping around Harajuku (原宿) later.

And this cafe I've seen photos of it online.

It kind of looks like this fantasy world.

It is super colorful and cartoon-y.

So we're going to see if we can find it and we'll take you in.

Show you what the food is like.

So this is the building you have to look for (YM Square Harajuku) and the cafe is on the

4th floor.

So this is what the interior of the restaurant looks like.

Different rooms to choose from.

We're being let in.

Oh my gosh.

Woah.

We are the first people here by the way.

Alright guys we have made it in.

We are the first ones here.

This cafe opens at 11:30 in the morning.

And I mean we were the first ones in line.

This is crazy.

The lights.

The colors.

This is like Japan Kawaii.

Let's go to our table.

We're eating at the disco mushroom.

So they just brought us the menu to the table.

We have it here.

Very colorful as you'd expect.

And the way it works at the Kawaii Monster Cafe is that you have to pay 500 Yen to get

in and then once you are inside you need to buy a drink and you need to buy a meal so

it is not going to be a cheap experience because I mean most of the drinks are at like the

8 or 9 dollar mark and most of the meals are like 10 dollars plus.

So yeah not cheap but I mean this is a super unique experience to have here in Tokyo.

Here in Japan.

So I think it'll be fun.

Arigatou gozaimasu.

Recommended first off.

Drinks menu here.

Okay.

Okay.

So these are the drinks you can get all kinds of shakes in bright colors.

Cocktails that looks like milk tea.

Very different fruity drinks.

Yeah this kind of looks like a lab.

They call it the cocktail experiment.

And then when it comes to food you've got some salad, some fries with like rainbow colored

sauces.

Rainbow pasta.

Um, some steak and chicken.

So a little bit of everything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So the food is here.

I got the fries.

The monster fries or something like that with a rainbow dip.

So yeah basically we got some french fries with a little bit of dried parsley sprinkled

over top.

The red sauce is ketchup, the yellow is mustard, the green is wasabi mayo, the orange is cheddar

cheese and the blue is sour cream and onion.

And I mean it is alright.

It is just fries with some dip.

Definitely overpriced but I think you come here more for the atmosphere and like exactly

the wacky wow factor.

Yep.

What is this cat food?

Basically this is like pieces of cereal.

Sugary cereal.

They've got cotton candy on the very top if you take a look down here.

There is cotton candy.

We also have little Oreo bits and what appears to be some different cereal and ice cream

at the very bottom.

Woah.

So let's try that.

Interesting.

Try a bit of everything.

Let's dig in.

Let's see how that tastes.

It looks very sugary that is for sure.

Oh man.

Lots of sugar to start the day.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Now that we've left the cafe and paid the bill which was around $40 US dollars by the

way I can honestly say it is not an experience you need to have here in Tokyo.

It is overpriced, it is a little bit gimmicky.

You'll get some cool photos out of it but I mean there is nothing really to the food,

so yeah I think it is a pass for us in retrospect.

We could have done something else with our time and our money.

Okay I feel like I have to go into this shop just because it has my name.

So the style here in Harajuku (原宿) is kind of interesting.

Like you have super girly dresses.

Like really frilly but you also have goth stuff and like sporty stuff.

So yeah you can really find something whatever your style is.

So I wouldn't call my style girly.

I don't know what do you think Sam?

What is my style.

In this particular neighborhood no you are not girly.

No.

No.

Here it is like girly is extra girly.

Extra frilly.

But I do would you like to be extra girly?

No.

No.

I'm a bit too old for that.

Hahaha.

But I do see a lot of things I like.

I actually have too.

I've seen a lot of t-shirts that I'm interested in.

There is an Astro Boy one.

There is a Batman one.

There is like some other ones like I may end up getting a t-shirt.

Yeah.

Before it is all said and done.

Do you see anything you like Audrey?

Um well I could use a few shirts I think.

Like something breezy for summer because I thought I packed a lot of shirts and I've

been wearing the same thing a lot so I don't think I did.

And here you can be anyone you like.

Check out these wigs.

Can you picture me with purple hair.

Well what did you think?

Yeah, it was interesting.

I've never been in a shop like that so yeah there is a lot going on.

You can get everything from wigs to dresses to fashion accessories.

It is a pretty funky looking sunglasses too.

Not a whole lot for men.

No.

This was mostly for girls cozplay shop.

Indeed.

So I am back looking at socks again.

I'm thinking princess socks for my sisters.

The only thing is these don't feel very comfortable.

Like they're kind of itchy and scratchy but they are cute.

Well well guys we hope you enjoyed our tour of Harajuku (原宿) mainly focussing on Takoshika

Takeshita street (竹下通り).

Yeah.

What did you think?

It was intense.

Like what a fascinating street.

My goodness.

It really picks up as the day goes by.

For sure.

Like it keeps getting more crowded.

More bustling and there is just so much to see and do you have to be looking up you have

to be looking down.

Your head needs to be on a swivel basically.

So that is it for now.

And we'll see you guys in the next video.

Ciao.

Ciao.

Tokyo Japan Travel Guide | Asia - Duration: 3:33.

The Japanese remake of the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower offers two observation points.

Travelers suggest coming here at night to watch the city twinkle, as well as listen

to music at the sky-high Club 333.

The Tokyo National Museum houses about 116,000 pieces of art and artifacts that cover the

longest recorded history of Japan, including samurai armor and swords.

You'll may see women in traditional Japanese dress walking about town, especially around

religious sites including the Meiji Shrine, where weddings are often held.

Sensoji Temple is one of the most popular religious sites to visit in Tokyo.

Unless you want to jostle with crowds, travelers recommend coming early morning or at night.

This high-tech museum features exciting interactive exhibits that showcase engineering feats,

such as robotics and space exploration.

Cherry blossom season in Japan lasts for about a week in late March or early April.

A time honored tradition among the Japanese is to have a picnic under one of the cherry

blossom trees.

Popular spots for this include the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace or the Shinjuku Gyoen

National Garden.

Tokyo Skytree towers over Tokyo's skyline, bypassing other popular vantage points including

Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

The Skytree allows visitors but be prepared for long lines.

The best place to experience the urban chaos of Tokyo is the Shibuya Crossing, located

right outside the Shibuya metro station.

When one street light turns red at the crossing, all of them do as to accommodate the area's

many pedestrians.

From Odaiba, you'll have tremendous views of Tokyo Bay.

Believe it or not, karaoke was invented in Japan.

So while out, make sure you stop by a karaoke bar.

You can find a handful of them in Shibuya.

If you want to snag cool electronics, comics or anime there's no better place to shop than

Akihabara.

On the weekends, the streets are vehicle-free to accommodate pedestrians.

Don't expect California rolls when you arrive in Tokyo.

Here, sushi is very different from what's offered in the U.S.

While some is wrapped in seaweed, a lot of it is cuts of fish placed on top of rice.

That's it.

The Imperial Palace is where Japan's emperor and the royal family reside.

Getting admitted is tough, but still stop by to visit the verdant East Gardens.

For high-end shopping and some of Tokyo's highly acclaimed restaurants, head to Ginza.

While at the Meiji Shrine, travelers recommend contributing to the prayer wall.

All you have to do is write down a wish and tie it onto this wall.

You'll find this bizarre statue along with many others at animator Miyazaki Hayao's (creator

of "Spirited Away") Ghibli Museum.

Thank you for watching.
