You never know what you’ll see on the streets of Tokyo! Today we start at the Hotel Gracery (the Godzilla Hotel), and walk through Kabukicho in the daytime to Shinjuku Park. On the way we stop off at one of my favourite Japanese bakeries (Little Bakery at 3-Chome) for breakfast treats, for a picnic in the park. You can see early sakura in Shinjuku Park (aka Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden) in early March. We take a walk through the Japanese garden and say hello to the koi carp. After that, we walk to Bic Camera in Shinjuku to see the amazing choice of items. With tips for your Japan trip along the way!

  1. Hey! I'm visiting japan from the US in a handful of weeks and was starting to get slightly cold feet but seeing the cherry blossoms bloom has been a dream of mine and this video just made my anxieties all go away. Thank you so much 🙂

  2. I was in Tokyo about a week ago for the sumo tournament, and stayed at the Hotel Gracery for a couple days. I did not get a chance to visit Shinjuku Park, but will be on my list for my next visit. I had to catch the Chuo-Sobu Line to the arena, and let me just say, Shinjuku Station is bonkers!

    Great video as always. Thank you!

  3. I've been to that bakery before! There is a cute shrine right by there, Hanazono Shrine that is decent sized. I also saw a Akiba Shrine by the park that was so tiny. was like crammed between two huge buildings.

  4. I zoomed in on the Vending machine and you can Tap to pay with your Credit card too to get your points from your local bank

  5. Love love love your vids, been to Japan twice already and these vids have helped me so much with my planning! Forever grateful Amy & Phil, sending you both big hugs from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🤗🤗

  6. I loved this Tokyo street walking tour to Shinjuku to see these beautiful cherry blossoms which is on my to do list when I visit Japan hopefully soon!! 🌸🌸❤❤

  7. Me, my wife and our youngest daughter visited Shinjuku park a few weeks later than you. It was green and some of the Sakura trees was starting to bloom ever so slightly. We left late in March but no Sakura blossoms for us. The early ones was almost gone. The park is quite nice. We walked from Kabukicho in Shinjuku to Shinjuku park, then to Harajuku, and finally to Shibuya. It's a long walk, but a nice one if you have good shoes and time to spare.

  8. I really like the walk around videos. It's cool to see places where we've been, brings back memories. I can't wait to go to Japan in May, we're visiting Tokyo first, then Kyoto, Kobe and Osaka.

  9. The Bic Camera close to Shinjuku station is rediculously huge. And they have absolutely everything. I had forgotten the socket conversion from Japanese outlet to Euroean outlet. They had them in any color you like. I bought a few and got my phone and laptop charged before I ran out of power 🙂

  10. Justice for Plum Blossoms!

    (Came back from Tokyo less than 24h ago, and watching this felt like torture)

  11. What a pity that, this video has no audio track in Portuguese Br… We're one of the biggest people who watch YouTube the most on TV, and the automatic audio track is too good.

  12. 12:04 The reason there are trash cans there is because it's in a paid area. The concept is the same as trash cans on train station platforms, like you are a paying customer/user until you leave the station by go through ticket gates.
    In side train stations and paid parks may appear to be public places at first glance because tons of strangers there, but in the eyes of their operators, the people there, including you, are in a sense customers.
    It's exactly the same as having trash cans inside Tokyo Disneyland.

    > 12:30 "And benches! Also quite rare in Japan."
    Again, it's exactly the same as having benches on train station platforms 🙂

  13. Wait, I am planning on visiting Japan for cherry & sakura blossoms in March. Are they blooming now, so early ?
