You can get anything from a vending machine.

Rent a grandpa for $7 an hour and take him to a J Pop concert.

Tokyo is the chosen destination of almost every traveler.

It's fun, it's beautif, it's rich in history.

And anywhere you go in Japan, you are surrounded by masters of their craft.

It's a real honor to witness this kind of excellence.

There's always been something unsettling about this place.

A kind of hidden heartbreak beneath all the neon.

And maybe in typical lost LeBlanc fashion, I'm about to bite off more than I can chew.

I didn't come here to tell this side of the story.

But in my quest to find the weird and the strange of Tokyo, I also found something much deeper that I thought deserved to be shared.

So strap in and let's dive beneath the bright lights and into the dark truths of Tokyo.

I've been to Tokyo about four times now, and

every time I come, I am just as excited as the first time.

And today I get to play tour guide, showing around my girlfriend, Ruby for the first time.

Tokyo is known for a lot of strangeness, and their coffee shops are no exception.

Give this ticket to the bear and it will exchange it for a special.

You can also have your morning coffee with a pig.

He jumped in my lap within just a second of being here.

that one is nowhere near as weird as the famous maid cafes of Japan.

These cafes sell food that look like they were thrown up by a unicorn.

And you're served by adults singing and dancing like cartoon characters.

It's colorful, wildly energetic, and honestly, super uncomfortable.

Many travelers like myself, will come here for the novelty.

But the thing that will surprise you is that many people at the cafe are actually locals.

Okay, I gotta show you one more because just a few blocks away is a cafe where your servers aren't even living.

But we're gonna check on that one a little bit later.

Tokyo is one of the largest cities on earth with just under 15 million people.

It can be super overwhelming even when you're coming back for the fourth time.

But it's also why there's something new to find every.

Cafes are just a warm up because we're about to tour the city to find the strangest vending machines.

But first, we had to make a stop at the world's busiest station.

This is Shibuya Station, where every single day, 3 million commuters come through this station.

If it wasn't for the fact that today is a national holiday, there would be people hired to push people into the train.

That's the face of someone experiencing Tokyo for the first time.

If you're still not convinced that Tokyo is strange, well, then I think you should see what they're putting inside of vending machines.

For the next seven days, we're going to be living exclusively off of vending machine food.

Japan is known as a vending machine capital of the world.

There's actually 30 vending machines per person in Japan.

It's 30 to 40 vending machines per person.

This, a nice, freshly squeezed orange juice on a beautiful hot day.

There's one vending machine for every 23 people.
