What’s going on everybody this is Island Hopper TV and today we’re talking about things to know when visiting Tokyo Japan let’s do [Applause] It First thing is let’s talk about Transportation so they have the Tokyo Metro which is a subway system connected with buses you can get a Tokyo pass called passo that’s what I recommend you get when you arrive here you can actually use it uh at all machines Tokyo
Is one of the largest cities in the world world but if you just include the city of Tokyo that’s around 10 million we’re talking Tokyo Metro over 37 million now when it comes to places to stay while in Tokyo these are the places I’m going to recommend take a look at
Shinjuku if you like nightlife if you’re a young person you like nlife if you like the luxury lifestyle take a look at ginsa that’s where I’m at right now also if you want shopping and just kind of in between go to rongi Hills if you want
Just all around Tokyo Vibes then go to shabuya and if you want museums and culture stay in weno UE n o now here we are at the shabuya Crossing also known as the shabuya scramble let’s go explore here I think it’s one of the busiest Crossings in the world definitely the
Busiest crossing here in Tokyo and Tokyo is the largest city in the world to go figure so where I’m going now is toward W haruku but I’m going to be going to the mezi temple here some good ramen now let’s talk about currency and transactions here in Japan so 149 Yen equals
$1 okay so when you pull out 30,000 yen that’s about $210 credit cards are widely accepted Visa American Express I haven’t really had a problem with that not in taxis or anything like that so that’s good news right and getting the pasmo card you can sometimes use that so really easy to
Transact here in Japan also the ATMs work really good all right so here we are going through the mag Forest to the shrine looks like wood but it’s not it looks like a steel column yeah who walks in the middle on the Pebbles like that me wow it’s amazing how this Forest
Literally exists inside of Tokyo all around here is the city and then right in here it’s like this Lush Japanese Forest so over here you have barrels of Saki and then over here you have wine in barrels cool so the other Arch was not wood but this one is believe that’s real wood
Yeah it’s quite the little hike to get in here here you have a purification Fountain to wash your hands and your mouth going there so once you’ve purified your hands and your mouths you can go inside I don’t think it’s mandatory but it’s considered respectful to
Do all right we’ve made it to the shrine and now here we are in Harajuku at takash Street let’s go for a little cruise down here and see what’s going on capsule toy shop what is that lots of crepes It’s like a costume shop or what Spee coca pearls coming up to C SOI Shrine but this here is like a market area that’s a restaurants I believe this is called Kamina aramon c aramon yeah this is Kamina aroman Cina Ramon gate hey for how much you can really say right now other than it is crowded it’s okay and
You can see a group so I know what is going on over here And right here we have a bridge that goes across the river taking you from the shrine s soji Shrine all the way to the sky tree and right here you have this boat Up and Down the River here get some views so let me show you the average
Room here in Tokyo for about $150 a night this is the OPA hotels I’ve stayed at two of these different hotels chains you can see it is fairly small I actually had to check in early so I did an advanced registration and they charged me 2,000 Yen extra that’s around
1,000 yen per hour because I checked in at 1 check out time at the other Hotel was 10:00 a.m. you can see the bed is nice but it’s very small in here you actually turn on and off the lights with this kind of switch you like these switches by your bed
So and then you get like a robe and everything but very small very compact it works but it’s expensive and the rules are very strict about check out at 10: a.m. which is fairly early in my opinion as well as a uh check-in time that has to
Be 3:00 or later look at the bathtub is very small all right here we are at the Shinjuku gyon Garden area gon I believe is G Garden it’s a national park here actually so it’s 500 yen for adults not too bad it’s a good price we’re in another very peaceful place inside
Tokyo people are just picnicking enjoying the fall weather here we are in Shinjuku right here here in front of Don kot going to go inside here I think it’s a souvenir Market multilevel anime video games Pikachu Pokemon Mario Brothers salot Alleyways and intricate Pathways around here oh
Sorry I would also say that if there was ever an area of Tokyo you have to watch out for scamming this is it quite a bit of scams going on around here it’s usually if someone’s soliciting something from you most of the time the businesses you they don’t
Need to solicit but the people who are coming up to you asking you if need something that’s who you need to watch out for just tell them no guess they like scamming everyone it’s not just tourist people in the comments can tell you what the scam is here but there’s a
Few different ones e cyber Cafe okay so this is the golden guy hello just a bunch of hole in the wall bars oh my goodness the alad in the back app you going to you to Oh jumbo waser those jumbo oers are really hard to eat sorry sorry sorry now here we are at the main deck there’s actually a place that’s higher than this like double the height still pretty high up here it only cost $9 to come up here to
The main deck if you want to go to the main deck and the top deck I think that costs around 28 for 3,000 yen this was 1,200 yen so you go down the stairs there’s another level Observatory so all right walking up to the zoo G Temple looks like they’re burning something
Right there smells almost like a wood maple and here we are at the Tokyo Imperial Palace and here we are at the palace but you can’t go up in there yet I don’t know how you can go in there beautifully manicured though Palace is actually right up there you can kind of see
It you know there’s so many different buildings here we don’t really know which one’s the Imperial Palace but it’s somewhere tucked away and all the gates so far that I’ve seen are closed I me it’s cool to see the old Palace and take pictures but if you
Can’t really go inside I don’t know it’s worth it so you may want to book a a tour when you get here oh Palace Hotel that’s a prime time location they got this just a prime time Hotel got this moat here we are at the National Art Center of

Runy would you ever pay $5,000 for a handbag or $400 for a shirt or $1,000 for shoes I guess if I had that much money it wouldn’t matter so we’re in search of some nighlife here in rungi that’s what they say online that this is one of the nightlife hotpots along with Shinjuku
Shabuya Ginza I don’t see any pubs or anything so not going to say that’s what’s going on around here but maybe there is because why would they say it’s happening if it wasn’t so I’ll keep walking and exploring okay so here we are in Ginza considered the ritziest area of Tokyo spe
