Another day of exploring in Tokyo, Japan, in which I eat some interesting and tasty Japanese food, walk around the Ginza shopping area, get confused trying to navigate the subway and then take a subway train to Akihabara.

You Talking about the honking and unexpectedly someone is horning that was funny
I've watched a lot of travel vloggers, Gabriel is by far my favorite. There s something serene about his vlogs, like no other. I truly see the world through his eyes.
Loved your reactions to the food… soo good, gave me a good belly-laugh!
Hi Gabriel, I heard that the new DJI Osmo action 3 has a soft focus issue. I actually bought it this month and decided to return it. It is a hardware issue and I don't think a software update can fix it. You might need to wait a bit so DJI can fix this issue.
Hi Gabriel I was in Japan on training in automobile manufacturing. I was in Tokyo for 3 weeks. I bought a new Nikon camera from a camera store in Akihabara. Very disciplined, law-abiding people and one of the most technologically advanced country.
While in Japan I travelled in bullet trains known as the Shinkansen. If you are going to north of Japan I suggest you go by a Shinkansen train. I was in Japan for 3 months. Greetings from USA. Nice vlogs, Keep it up.
The first restaurant is not a good place to eat. They usually don't serve vinegared seaweed to foreigners!
If you are Japanese, you would say, "I don't like this, please exchange it for another dish…" Sorry 🥲
They didn't even have a plate of soy sauce for the sashimi! Impossible!
And you ordered stewed pork offal 💦
Your trip is like a local, in a good way, not like a foreign tourist. Fun!
There are 18 railroad companies in Tokyo, with 85 lines. If you add monorails and other services, there are over 700 stations.
It may be a miracle to get to your destination without getting lost🎵
But even those troubles are tasteful when it's your trip!
But still, Akihabara doesn't suit you😊
Gabriel is alone to be mask less outside I guess.
Great video, would love to see more nature and natural scenes of the nature in japan,.. what that is like, seeing the local farmers etc…. forests,… hills, trees,…xxx
Don't they have plain just McDonald's food to eat?
Mmm I wanna go to Japan 😊❤
Your videos from Tokyo brings me back to the original Blade Runner movie. Cheers from Barcelona 🇪🇸♥️
10:13 is the road closed off? People walking and standing on the road, and if so why?
12:30 Your video quality already great, so why fix it when it ain't broken?
Hi! I like your video! So,when you move around Tokyo,Osaka, you should buy a Suica or PASMO is prepaid transportation cards!
They will save time and money!
Mixing mustard in soybean sauce then dip sashimi in the sauce to eat Mr Gabriel!
the closed road is for "social distancing"?
Loving your Japan videos. It’s so nice to see your reactions to the food. (Positive or not so much!) 😅 I hope you keep including that; it’s a nice touch. Been watching your videos for over three years and really enjoy them. Continued safe and happy travels, Gabriel! 💕
If you're staying in Japan even just a few days and need to move around Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Sapporo or pretty much any major city in the country, purchasing a Suica card is a must. Not only makes it trivial to use public transport (tag the card when you get in, tag when you get out) but it also works for drinks vending machines, it works in arcades, it works in a lot of unexpected places. Definitely a better option than having to buy single tickets every time, plus you can keep it to use it next time to visit Japan
my best bro you are good looking awesome thank you for your huge respect against cpec countries lot of love from your best bro viki 💙
Like the Japan series
Sad to see those people wearing absolutely useless masks.
Thanks for these Japanese videos Gabe. I'm really enjoying them.
04:40 — I think the yellow flower is also edible. Looks like a marigold, doesn't it? Or, maybe a zinnia. Who knows?
>>> GOOD for you, eating raw fish. I cannot touch the stuff fearing parasites, but … I reckon that if I did eat raw fish then, Japan would be the place I would eat it in, no doubt. After all, that country invented eating raw fish, I think.
The green horseradish you eat sashimi (raw fish) with, is called wasabi. And, it is BURN YO' ASS HOT!!!
You should have been given a nice soy sauce dipping sauce for the sashimi, or ponzu sauce, but … oh well.
Sashimi should use to be taken with Soy sources to eat.
And Syumai should be with a bit of mustered and a little bit of soy sources.
Please ask restraunt staffs how to eat.
They must help you to eat on comfortable conditions.
The soop must be what there are some "Built-in" or "innards".
I Japanese dislike it.
We used not to eat such a innards on Japan history officially after DC.675 year on Heian era when Emperor Temmu 天武天皇 made imperial decree.
4:45
There is no taste unless you use the soy sauce on the table😢
I was in Tokyo in 2016 and were told they close some roads for cars, one day a week
Sometimes he has no idea what he is eating
Japan has a law that cars must get a new engine after 50,000 miles so that probably helps the car noise. Japanese cars are already quiet. Theres also different types of asphalt that is quieter when driven on so maybe they have that too.
Gabe-san, if you're planning to buy camera equipment some stores offer tax-free incentives to foreigners.
If you show your passport the tax is waived. At least that's how it was with the bigger stores like
Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera several years ago, I'm not sure if those programs are still in place.
And BTW if you venture away from the main boulevards by just a little bit, you can find great restaurants
at reasonable prices even in Ginza.
Really enjoying your Japan series….お疲れ様.
Sashimi is soy sauce😐
SOBA NOODLE SHOP !!
Consider using Google lens to live translate when in foreign country. Seems like it would be useful when reading tickets etc.
The mozuku and vinegar that you ate first was sour, wasn't it? I like it, but it's a dish that people who eat it for the first time have different tastes. I love sweet potato shochu and drink it often, It might be a drawback to drink too much because it's delicious.
I love how Japanese dress up especially when it is cold.
The reason why it is quiet in Japan because it is considered rude to speak loud.
Tokyo is my favorite city. It's so different from what I'm used to culturally. I love the vibe there and I feel safe there.
All you ordered was Korean and Chinese food in Japan, but now you've finally had some Japanese sashimi!
But I think sashimi should be dipped in soy sauce…
That was intestine (motsu) you had for dinner my friend
刺身は醤油つけたらもっとおいしいです。
You should buy a PASMO or Suica prepaid card. It's convenient because you don't need a ticket. Please ask at the station.
ive not heard a single honk from a car……ohhh bugger it!
A blessed good day sir Gabe thank u so much again for your nice Walk around tour Specially there in Shopping district of Ginza Japan
Stay safe Godbless u sir Gabe,
From your solid fan supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍👏👏👏👏👍🙏🙂
お刺身は醤油をつけて食べるんですよ😮別にお皿と醤油なかった？日本を楽しんでくださいね😊
enjoy your time in Japan. please try putting the wasabi( not too much) and soya sauce together in a small plate and then dip your sashimi. enjoy
