@onlyinjapanGO Hi John. I'm glad you found something delicious to share with your family. I'm looking forward to the day when you and I can share a hot meal together. Preferably Unagi. That's my all time favorite.

Hi John, this streaming took me back to september last year when I stayed at robot hotel asakusabashi! 'Feels like home' watching the route! Arigatou!!

I walked this route almost every day when I was in Tokyo back last year, looking forward to my stay there again and running into John again. Btw, @49:12, there's a pet-friendly hotel (ICI) in the shot that's pretty decent, even if you aren't travelling with pets. Folks who are interested in staying at Asakusabashi can give it a try.

People run to catch you, John! I really like the arches with the train on top. As much as I love trains, I would love to stay along the tracks. Thank you for the walk. I especially love walking through the streets with you being our guide. ❤ OMG! I can't believe you tried the fiber squash.

Akihabara is exactly what a geek wants to see in Japan! That is my #1 spot for just window shopping, checking for retro or brand-new things :) . There is a used electronics store on the first level in one of those historical buildings where you can find quite rare Walkmans on a display, not for sale :) .

I think Ikebukuro has upped its geek game and Nakano is more authentic but for international visitors right off the boat, Akihabara won’t disappoint 😂 no place else like it although it’s gone to the touristy side the last 6-7 years, which is why it’s still alive.
@petersziraki7672Ай бұрын
@@onlyinjapanGO I agree, but other cities also have a similar district where geeks can get lost for a day :) , like Den-Den Town in Osaka. I love that place as well! I wish I could find something like that in Europe, but this is exclusive to Japan as far as I know :) .

It’s a really cool walk, esp from 5-8pm for dinner. Loads of great options or head north to Asakusa, 20 min away.

I actually stayed in asakusabashi last summer because it was significantly cheaper and still very close to akihabara. It took us like 20-25 mins to reach akihabara by foot.

Yeah, it’s not as popular now. Might be the sweetener (corn syrup?) or it’s just not good cost performance or they stopped innovating when so many other sweets shops have been excelling. Japan is a trendy place.
