Exploring Tokyo, Japan [Ginza, Tokyo, Akihabara, Asakusa] |Day 101 - Tokyo | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Ginza (銀座) is Tokyo's most famous upmarket shopping, dining and entertainment district, featuring numerous department stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, night clubs and cafes. From 1612 to 1800, today's Ginza district was the site of a silver coin mint (Ginza means "silver mint" in Japanese), after which the district was eventually named. The Ginza evolved as an upmarket shopping district following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. Located between the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station, Marunouchi (丸の内) is one of Japan's most prestigious business districts. During the Edo Period, Marunouchi (literally "within the enclosure") was located within the outer moats of Edo Castle and contained the residences of some of Japan's most powerful feudal lords. Together with neighboring Otemachi, Marunouchi is now home to the headquarters of many of Japan's most powerful companies, particularly from the financial sector. Over the last decade, Marunouchi has been receiving a major facelift, led by the Mitsubishi Estate company, which owns a lot of the land in the district. Many older office buildings were replaced by new skyscrapers with offices on their upper floors and a variety of shops and restaurants on their lower floors. These newly opened shopping and dining complexes have revitalized the formerly unexciting business district and are drawing an increasing number of non business visitors in recent years. Akihabara (秋葉原), also called Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo that is famous for its many electronics shops. In more recent years, Akihabara has gained recognition as the center of Japan's otaku (diehard fan) culture, and many shops and establishments devoted to anime and manga are now dispersed among the electronic stores in the district. Asakusa (浅草) is the center of Tokyo's shitamachi (literally "low city"), one of Tokyo's districts, where an atmosphere of the Tokyo of past decades survives. Asakusa's main attraction is Sensoji, a very popular Buddhist temple, built in the 7th century. The temple is approached via the Nakamise, a shopping street that has been providing temple visitors with a variety of traditional, local snacks and tourist souvenirs for centuries.

Millie is so cute! Unagi looks super tasty

Just like Rodeo Drive in California.
-
6:54 isn't the original version of that music from RADWIMPS? I love that band.
-
8:50 Ahaha recorded a video at the exact same place when I was in Akihabara !
-
Millie is not his gf?
-
I laughed so hard when you were talking about the one piece figures.
-
If you ever around shibuya, make a video with me and my gf!!! Sick videos, keep it up!
Btw, which camera you using (amazing video quality) -
It wasnt bayonetta @ 10:44 , it was Smoker from one piece when he gets body switched :)
-
good video but crap music
-
woo that made me happy seeing Love Live Sunshine being advertised and all the figures for it lol it's so trippy seeing how diverse Japan is. one day you're out exploring gorgeous nature and wildlife, then an hour later you're in the heart of a crowded but beautiful city. not much different from America actually but the scale of it in Japan is just amazing.
also i'm pretty sure that scantily dressed lady figure was from the One Piece anime haha -
my skin age is probably old, living in the desert heart is brutal on your skin
-
HI ! I BECAME A FAN OF YOURS TODAY ! GOD BLESS YOU ! JESUS LOVES YOU ! BYE !
-
Man you're the best ! Cheers from Argentina !!
-
wow in those arcades there was alot of lovd live stuff.
-
It's a bit awkward someone filming themselves talking to the camera so often.. Focus on the surroundings and people you are with a bit more, and less of that? Just my two cents, not slamming your work.
-
Ginza= Large sign saying Grand Seiko= my new favourite place in the world.
-
Tch...that clown, Kakarot... >:|
Damn that looked so awesome. I would need to win the lottery so I could see everything and buy tons of stuff including those DBZ, One Piece and Fate Stay Night figures lol Wish there was more to see of the Palace tho. The shrine was amazing too.
Milliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!!! I would have been giving that woman the death stare for implying that Millie's skin isnt perfect with her scam machine >:( hahaha -
That unagi looks delicious!!! Much more full than the unagi-don I get locally. Thanks for all the description for the different sections of Tokyo, there are so many totally distinct parts!

10:45 lol not Bayonetta, it's Tashigi from One Piece. She's dressed as Smoker from One Piece. :^ p
