This is what a hundred dollars gets in Japan.

So six years later, we made it back to Japan.

It's crazy to think that when I first kick-started this YouTube channel,

I went on a solo trip for four months here to Asia, with spending one of those months here in Tokyo.

So I'm so excited to be back and explore this city and show you guys what $100 can get you here in Tokyo.

So we are starting off this video here at the famous Shibuya Crossing.

And my gosh, I haven't been here in over six years, but this place is still as chaotic as I remember.

If you ever want to put in perspective how tiny we are on this planet, come here to Shibuya because it just makes you feel like an ant.

And for this video, we have a very special guest.

Peace is a local here in Japan and has been helping me out with the channel for the past two years.

Animal cafes are definitely popping in Japan, and definitely Harajuku one is the most popping one.

So for $10, you get to come here to this Hedgehog Cafe where you get a free coffee as well as get to play with hedgehogs.

In New York, for $10, you barely just get a coffee and there's no free hedgehogs to hang out with, so I consider this a steal.

Y'all are lucky that this is what you get to hang out with as you have your coffee.

It's very prickly, but actually kind of sweet at the same time.

I have to admit, they do have very cute faces.

I'm going to call her Sonic because she's moving too fast.

So these are actually also up for adoption.

So if you come here and fall in love with a hedgehog, you can actually take one home.

I feel like in New York, it would be like $70 instead of $10.

Then in true Japanese fashion, you get your coffee from a vending machine.

So as far as transportation here in Tokyo, it can be a little overwhelming when you do look at the subway map.

But Peace is going to give us a little tip, which is the Suica card.

So Suica card, it's a metro card in Japan, and you can literally use it anywhere.

You can use it on a train, vending machine, convenience store.

If you have Suica, traveling around Japan will be much easier.

You can even use it around Japan as well, not literally in Tokyo.

If you're using it for the first time, the ticket machine, it can be very confusing.

So I highly recommend you guys to go to the information booth if you guys want the Suica tickets.

So now we just made it to my personal favorite district here in Tokyo called Akihabara.

I spent one month in this district, and it was incredible.

If you love Japanese subculture, which is anime, games, and all sorts of stuff,

You can buy any games that you imagine, probably.

Even that car right there, it has an anime on it.

Yeah, I remember six years ago when I made it here to Japan and got to Akihabara, I was so blown away that this place just felt like a different planet.

Where this one we're about to go in is literally nine floors of video games.

I feel like we have officially entered a different planet.

In America, we have Dance Dance Revolution, but here in Japan, they have it kind of similar with their hands.

I let those guys win, but at least I beat Chris.

So that was a five-minute game for 80 cents.

I feel like I could get stuck in one of these arcades all day and just play because that was so much fun and only cost less than a dollar.

What's the longest in one day that you've spent in an arcade?

Now for lunch, it's only going to cost us another 80 cents because we're going to win it with a crane game and get a cup of noodles.

That's the most Japanese thing that you can ever do in Japan.

We didn't win our lunch of the ramen with the claw game, but now we are about to do something that is a part of the Japanese culture, which is a thing called pachinko.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's almost like an arcade game, but it's gambling where you can actually win money.
