Oh yeah, that's the wa version of starbucks.

- HEY!!! - We already started filming?!!?!?

And today we're going to walk around Kawagoe which is a popular spot for people to visit

Yes Japan is struggling too with the current situation.

In order to cheer everyone up, we will show you around while we can.

On that note we're gonna go explore, Kawagoe today, and you'll see how it looks at this time right now.

There are a couple of cool cafés and nice spots and a lot of things you can look at without

having to look inside as well so let's walk around Kawagoe.

What's special about this area is that everything is still kept in the "old Japan"

we have old houses old store houses and also above us there are no electric lines which

is rare because you see electric lines everywhere but here none at all.

Kawagoe was known for storage places in old houses and you can still see them here and

it look like loads of loads of little stores in similar.

That's for the little wipes... be careful director the truck is behind us!!!

OK well there are a couple people here who don't seem to mind. There a couple tourists

having a good time. Hopping onto rickshaws.

I do like that some ladies are still dressing up in Yucata kimonos here.

I think it makes the whole place much more colorful.

Our goal for today is the Hikawa shrine. A big shrine.

I hope there we can pray that the situation gets better and there will be more peace in Japan.

That's a good idea I'd like to go there too.

Humans are dropping stuff around here flut-flut

I will clean the street for you flut flut

this place here it's a zoo but it looks like a café and has a bird of

Oh yeah that's the WA version of Starbucks this one was open just recently and everything

is kept with the Japanese colors inside so I actually have been in there it's a has

a normal menu but the whole design is made like a Japanese style place also they have

a Japanese garden on the other side so if you come around.

If you still wanna get your Starbucks kick.

I'm sorry I can't restrict myself I love tortoises and they make tortoises ones.

OK they allowed us to film inside after we asked them. Always ask before you do that.

And oh man they're so cute they have different flavors of the...

these dorayaki. Usually dorayaki are just round but these ones are in a shape of tortoises.

The most popular one is sweet bean paste they have red bean paste as well

flavors but one is just without a flavor and to be honest I want to try it just as it is

because she says it's very confident with the taste even without the flavor so let's try this one.

I love the characters everywhere I look at the little tortoises that are everywhere on

The name of the store is Kameya. That's turtle/tortoise in there.

Are you eating it right away? - I will. - Thank you.

This one has the potato to indicate it has sweet potatoes inside it but this one without the

filling just has the shell of a tortoise on it.

I think I wanna keep that sticker and put it into my diary it's so cute I love tortoises

and turtles so much so this is like the most adorable thing.

That's really good dorayaki. It doesn't need a filling

I'm not a big fan of the bean paste. I mean...

sometimes I can eat it but sometimes it's too sweet for me right in the morning I can't

eat it so it's just like morning pancakes it has a bit of a pancake feel to it.

Oh they're closed till the end of March and that's also because of the virus so

can't really visit today and there goes me saying they're almost open every time.

It's Japanese onomatopoeia. What's your favourite Onomatopoeia?

There are so many. Like Puni Puni... Mochi Mochi...  I like soft things.

It's like squishy things that are cute and squishy and then mochi mochi is bouncy but

pretty puny is lik cheeks somebody's cheeks like cute chubby cheeks they are puny puny.

Oh here that's the place I found it that's the one.

So they sell it to go but if you ask you can go into the second floor and they serve it with tea.

Coming up the stairs taken off the shoes and here we are.

This is like a real secret spot so I'm sharing this with you guys.

Not many people know about this it's like a real hidden little paradise and I'm really

You are aiming for that instagramable look there. It looks so cute!!!

Does that come with the tea - Yes it comes with Sencha!

I think I will go for the instagramable one.

That was good that was good I need that little break.

If you guys come please please the staff is really really nice they were really really

friendly and they talked with us about the struggles are having right now during the

in the current situation director could you summarize it.
