I'm feeling a little speechless at the moment.
I've been on skyscrapers around the world, but I've never seen a city as massive as this.
I keep looking down and thinking There's 38 million stories down there all around me.
Yeah, Tokyo is a tapestry of neighborhoods.
Each one seems tohave its own identity.
You've got skyscrapers, six or eight lane highways, and then you've got these skinny little alleyways with lanterns.
So my mission is to taste these different little microcosms that make up this massive, massive metropolis.
The first neighborhood I'm exploring is called Yonica local states.
The neighborhood that time forgot.
This is the old Tokyo, the Tokyo that many people think doesn't exist anymore.
Yonica has very nostalgic atmosphere.
So this is our little time capsule back to old Tokyo.
Yeah, exactly.
We started off a Yonica adventure in Yonica Ginza, the main shopping street through the neighborhood.
Lots of Mom and Dad stores selling everything from potato crickets through to Japanese slippers, cat statues everywhere and a really low key village vibe.
Our next stop was Nezu Shrine.
What I really loved about it with the Torii Gate on the more get you walk through the happier you supposed to become.
E can't think of a more perfect way to end our tour of the neighborhood than in this beautiful tea room.
Yes, Sometimes you forgot Tanika is a part of the Tokyo is the little oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city.
Yes, exactly.
I've been hanging out with Yoshimi Exploring an old part of Tokyo not more than a mile away from here is a very different type of Tokyo.
A place called Akihabara.
Mhm.
Now what is Akihabara?
It's official electric town of Tokyo.
And it's all things nerdy culture.
Anything you want that you have a passion for.
You can find it here, Ethicist Wonderland.
Pretty much so.
This place is a robot shot.
This is amazing.
I've only seen stuff like this on television.
Can I shake your hand?
It's cute, but freaking me out at the same time.
Yeah, they're still working out the kinks from takeover by our over.
Well, don't freak me out.
Our next stop was mandate RK, which was an eight story department store dedicated to collectibles.
I've never seen anything like that.
When you first bought your real time.
When you're a kid kind of brings that that old feeling like it's not just nostalgia.
You appreciate the craftsmanship and what went into creating these pieces.
So while Yannick, it feels more like some gorgeous, quite little village you've got, aka Habre, which feels like Tokyo on steroids, it's absolutely insane.
This is a city where the old and the new are in constant contrast, obviously, both neighborhoods a very different creatures, and yet both offer a kind of escapism just goes to show you just how much variety there is.
And it's just so visually rich and texture.
There's nothing like this on Earth.
