for the best deals in japan for electronic goods

To check out a few stores because the prices vary depending on the time period

-
guys
-
right behind me is my favorite ramen shop in all of shinjuku
-
it's called fuji it has both ramen and scheming and today i'm gonna show you both let's get in line because
-
There's kind of a way all right let's go
-
look at that line it's like this all day
-
Every day this is a very popular little place i'm at the back of the line this place opens from 11 to 3 o'clock
-
during its lunch on which we're here right now but there's still a huge huge wave
-
When you get inside you need to buy a ramen ticket it's cool that the ticket machine has an english translation as well big plus
-
for travelers when you're seated staff will ask you if you want nummy meaning regular or
-
promoting meaning large tell them what you want and then you're good to go i ordered a large but actually couldn't finish at all
-
so we've been waiting, now for like almost 30 minutes of like it's gonna be the way i know it
-
So this is scheming
-
alright let's try this game and i'm so excited for this cold al dante noodles served with a separate bowl of hot
-
creamy fish balls and chicken bite on soup wow look how thick that is you can see the ramen soup just like
-
Linked to the noodle
-
but i'm talking about
-
he's a little bit of the fish powder if you tasted negative
-
But definitely it's a lot saltier than if you're not a little ramen it's so good let's try to meet
-
So tender now this is ramen look at this rich white soup mm-hmm
-
different flavor than the spam in for the soup i thought lighter
-
it's not as big but i want to tell you which one is the best left i like both
-
number three godzilla
-
look right behind me is godzilla let's go upstairs and check them out
-
godzilla is at the top of toho cinemas next to hotel grocery
-
If you're not saying at this hotel you're gonna have to use a cafe inside, to see my man godzilla up close
-
We're all the way to the top you can see?
-
Godzilla's head it's amazing and there's an awesome view from up here
-
This place is so cool if you come close enough you'll notice he has the only team also what's cool is
-
Every hour on the hour from 2 up to 6 they actually have a show mikey won't check it out
-
number four
-
tokyo metropolitan building you can actually go up both the south and north towers in this video i'll show you the south
-
wing
-
So right behind me is the tokyo
-
metropolitan government building it has an awesome observation deck i'm going
-
To show you guys what it's like to be up there then instead of down here and it's?
-
Free man i'm so excited for this one
-
this is the south tower observation deck and if you want you can shop for souvenirs and chill at the cafe
-
So we made it all the way, to the 45th
-
floor you can see all of tokyo from up here it has like this
-
panoramic view from all the different windows so you can see north-south east-west it's
-
Amazing and if you come here on a clear day you'll be able to see everything
-
just, like today like i said earlier the best thing about this it's free
-
number five shinjuku gyoen park
-
we've just arrived at shinjuku
-
Gyoen, now there are several parks in all of shinjuku but this one is my favorite park so let me show you what's inside
-
So one thing to know before you get here it costs 200 yen to get into the park that's not such a bad thing
-
cuz it's not a lot of money plus it keeps the riffraff out
-
right behind me is a traditional japanese
-
teahouse called a good day you can actually go inside and get traditional matcha and
-
Traditional sweets all for 700 yen but don't worry it's really easy to find in the japanese garden
-
if you're in shinjuku and you're just like tired of all the buildings and all the people this is the perfect spot because you can
-
just
-
like relax and chill i love this way i really really love it and this is just a little section of the park it's so
-
Big but there's just, so much free open space for you just, to like hang out and there's a super awesome chinese garden right here
-
and
-
There's this cool greenhouse all the way in the park there's no it's a charge to get into this beautiful greenhouse
-
It even has this cool waterfall inside
-
number six kabuki joe so this is
-
Kabukicho known as a red light district in shinjuku but it also has some cool stores and restaurants
-
like this 500 yen ramen shop or this 24-hour grilled seafood place is 24-hour sushi joint and right next to it japanese barbecue
-
but, to get a real feel for this place let's check it out at night
-
So this is one of tokyo's red-light districts there's a lot of bars
-
There's a lot of girls and there's a lot of nightlife going on if you know what i'm saying in addition to the nightlife there's
-
actually a lot of restaurants here it's actually worth checking out if you kind of tire to the japanese food is really good chinese and
-
korean restaurant but a lot of people come here for the host and hostess clubs
-
These guys must have had to work really hard to break the top ten
-
months of gestation month of amin's satisfaction in japanese oh
-
We were there earlier at kabukicho we've actually moved maybe two to three street's down this is?
-
Actually where all the host and hostess clubs are now it's quite expensive so i don't know if you actually want to go inside
-
But if you want to like sit down have some drinks talk, to some very attractive females or males
-
Then this is the place to go i've actually never been
-
but you guys might want to check it out and just one street over
-
There so planned which is a completely different how do you say
-
Form of entertainment where you can actually go and paper girls but you have to be careful because
-
some of them don't actually accept any corners one special note if you do try to mention here i really recommend you go with a
-
japanese person or a local person because you can get ripped off very very easily in one of these places they do have
-
separate venues for foreigners in some of these places and they'll charge you a
-
Freaking lot of money so just be careful if you really do want to try to venture out, into one of these places
-
So this is a robot restaurant it's pretty cool right so it actually costs 8,000 yen per person
-
That's kind of expensive i mean that's like the price of?
-
disneyland tickets are even actually a little bit more you can actually probably just go to design either instead so
-
what i'm recommending
-
is that we skip this place and let me show you a place in fact a little bit more interactive up to you this show
-
is still pretty cool if you really want to go
-
Number seven: Zaho
-
So this is Zaho - you actually get to catch your own dinner, this is gonna be awesome, let's do it
-
One thing to know
-
fishing is optional: if you're lazy
-
you
-
can just order it straight from the menu but it costs a little bit more than catching your own fish
-
You, took the bait - but no hook
-
Harder than it looks
-
yeah, we did it, we caught one
-
So what's cool is you can actually ask them how you want it prepared
-
This time we actually have two so one is going, to be butter Yuki and the other one is going
-
to be Sashimi - I can't wait i'm so excited
-
this is the sea bream we caught - also known as Tai in japan it is the but butter Yaki which means grilled butter
-
I'm so excited it asis works so hard to catch this
-
just, tastes like really good fish let's move on to the sashimi
-
You, can see through the sashimi this means it's super fresh i also got this cocky fried look how big that thing is so awesome
-
Put some lemon on it you know dip it into some sauce
-
that's amazing how that just melts in your mouth i love this this is actually one of my favorites here
-
number eight: Omoide Yokocho
-
love the smell of yakitori in the air feel like i'm transported back in time walking through these tiny japanese streets
-
this is alloyed a
-
Yokocho if it hope with small parts gathered together so everything is served in small dishes you get yucky tony
-
robin you have so but probably not gonna get it filled up here it's mainly a drinking place there's a
-
stereotype that mainly all these salary men go here but it's actually becoming a very more trendy thing in japan
-
And you'll find that your own younger people come and now if you look inside
-
there's actually a lot of turns bike up here so
-
You shouldn't feel short comfortable by coming into this place so this is actually a lot better than the older guys older there's a lot
-
more tourists rappy what doesn't rip you off which is a good thing
-
golden guy there are more than 200 bars and these small streets since most parts only fit about six to ten people
-
there is an unwritten rule that a person staying the longest needs to give up their seat to new customers most of the bars have
-
Cover charges so make sure to ask if it's not written at the entrance to be honest i personally
-
try
-
To avoid places with cover charges so this is shinjuku's
-
golden guy it's pretty cool they have bars on the first floor in some of the cases actually have bars that go up to the
-
Second floor it's really really steep stairs so you have to be careful you don't have to even go inside you can just like walk
-
around which is pretty cool really really feels like japan okay it might be a little expensive but worth checking out
-
oh, and michael got ripped off together
-
that's pretty cool i just got interviewed by japanese television
-
number nine vr zone
-
This is pr so in tokyo now if you don't want to go to the bars or you with kids if you just want to
-
have a good time at night this is a place to go a whole building is just a virtual
-
reality place there's like so many things to do you can actually literally spend the whole day there and just hang out well yeah
