Tokyo by Bike

4 жыл бұрынHow about a bike around Tokyo... all of it. I go on a 120km trip from the Eastern banks of the Edogawa river to the Western banks of the Tamagawa river. It was a fun cycling trip through the city of Tokyo! Maybe next time I'll go to different cities in Japan.

The fun part about biking in Japan is that sometimes it's just wholesome enjoyment and immersive experience. When I went on my voyage, I just bought one of mama-chari (just like in video). That cost me 10'000 JPY. After two months I just sold it second-hand and got 7'000 back. Tourists sometimes pay thousands of yen per day just to get lost in stations and ride underground most of the day. Oh - and many hotels in Tokyo provide free bike rental service. So be mindful of that, if this is your desire for Tokyo visit.

Greg... I just don't know what to tell you. First of all I must commend you on the superhuman efforts you put not only into riding over 120km in a day by bike across the biggest city on Earth but also the insane quality level of the content you bring to your channel. You put so much effort and LOVE above all into everything that you do and it shows. It really does. You're a champion and you're in a league of your own. I even started getting emotional in some parts because I felt like I was right there with you seeing this with my own eyes, and no words can describe how much I wish that were true. I felt like a close friend was guiding me and showing me his favorite things in a city that he really loves. It felt really personal. Thank you for this. I can only thank you. Your channel is amazing and you deserve the world!

@LifeWhereImFrom 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! For the most part, parks are open all day and night. There are some major parks, like Shinjuku Gyoen which do close. But besides the popular central parks, I don't think they have any closing times. This is why they're really handy for going to the bathroom or getting water. _Parks in B.C. in Canada do close at dusk, and if they don't have gates preventing entry, the bathroom facilities do usually close, so that's why I find it so convenient travelling around Japan by foot or bike.

I live and work in Tokyo in the tech industry, and honestly, it feels ridiculously affordable compared to the last two places I lived and worked in the U.S. (Fairfax, Virginia and Torrance, California). Hell, my rent in Tokyo is almost half of what it was in Torrance (I'm paying roughly the equivalent of $900/mo and living in the heart of Kichijoji), though granted it's a MUCH smaller apartment. And last year, I lived in suburban Ibaraki prefecture, and it was DIRT cheap. My apartment was huge, I had ready access to public transportation, the location was beautiful, and my rent was the equivalent of $450/mo, which is ludicrously affordable. I was on a teacher's salary at the time, too -- and not even JET, but an independent and not especially reputable teaching program -- and I still saved a ton of money over the course of the year.

I really loved this video, thank you for making it! I live in the Netherlands, we have more bikes than people and the entire infrastructure is made with bike paths either on roads, separate paths along side roads or just bike paths on their own. Cars are used to driving next to bikes and everyone on a bike has basically grown up on it, maybe a little less so in the bigger cities, but even in big cities bikes are aplenty. You'll see people with a kid on the front, a kid on the back, shopping bags on the side, riding like it's no trouble at all. I have two bikes, and a dog-cart so it's easier to bring my dog around, and since we currently don't have a car I could use it to haul stuff if needed, but bike-bags (attached to the sides on the back) and a basket up front go a long way.

Ahh.. This was such a relaxing video and I really appreciate the amount of work you've put on this! I love how bike-friendly Tokyo is and when you guys cycled to Diver City I was amazed and to be frank, kind of jealous that you can do that! More power to you, Greg and thank you for this video!

I was so exited during watching this Video. On my vacations, I love to spotted around in areas i have never been to and enjoy the vibes around it. And this is exactly what this Video feels like to me. This Video has inspired me once more to discover to not so touristic areas in Tokyo and other Citys at my next trip to Japan. Thanks a lot for taking us on this incredible bike tour!

Your content is awesome! And I love your narration! The overall atmosphere of Japanese towns, cities etc had always intrigued me. The narrow back alley ways, the symmetrical buildings, just so many interesting things that you don’t see anywhere else (at least not here in the US). Also the fact that you can leave your bike with all its stuff and not experience any theft just blows my mind! Thank you for your content! 🙏🏼 😊

Greg, I was inspired by this video when I first watched it a few years ago. In April this year, I was in Tokyo and joined a folding bike tour. It was surprisingly pleasant to bike around central Tokyo! Thank you for the preview and the inspiration. (Scott; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA).

This was so relaxing to watch, seeing all the beautiful sights along your chosen route was a pleasure. Your face mask is great, I like how it extends down to cover the beck too, I'd love one of those myself :)

Have been totally enjoying your top-quality videos during this stay-at-home period in Southern California. My favs: a former bike ride around Tokyo, family reunion glamping in Canada, tour of kitchens around the world, touring the hot springs. You’re quite a goodwill ambassador for Japan. Bravo! Continued blessings to you and your lovely family.

What a great video. I visit Tokyo often, so it was really nice to see many streets I'm very familiar with, as well as those I haven't seen yet. It never ceases to amaze me how such a big metropolitan area can be so calm just one lane away from a major road. I think many people have a misconception that Tokyo is an extremely crowded and chaotic city. I find it quite the opposite.

You deserve a gold medal this video is incredible, you took more than 12 hrs and all the effort to make a video to show us this beautiful city, thanks so much I appreciate what you did because I don’t think I could ever travel to Tokyo but I felt like I was there, God bless you

Thank you so much for making this video to allow me (who is staying at home for 3+ months now) to explore my favorite country! Hopefully I can go back to Japan soon!

looks like such a bike friendly city for the most part - especially when you consider that it's the most densely populated (or at least one of the most) in the world. Thx for sharing!
@pyesd7316 3 жыл бұрын
Perfect video! The filming, the editing, the voiceover and the content are absolutely excellent. I really feel like I am living that cycle through your eyes (and legs). The things you decide to elaborate on in more depth are always so interesting - I can really relate because I go on lots of these cycles around London. Also having watched the majority of famous youtube channels on Japan - your videos overall are the best made, thought through, entertaining and informative.. Keep up the good work masta!!

Gracias, el recorrido fue muy ameno. Me impresiona que puedas dejar las cosas en la bicicleta con total tranquilidad, también que hayas circulado en todos los horarios siendo seguro. Me gusto mucho ver las sendas al lado de los ríos con sombra y tantas personas usando bicicleta. Buena energía para vos y los tuyos, me gustan mucho sus vídeos.

Greg, your videos are excellent for allowing people who have never been to Japan to get a good idea of what life is like there. The way you present your views or just information is clear and keeps the focus on the topic rather than on you, which is what too many vloggers would do. Thank you for outstanding content.
