Sharing another favourite area of mine in Tokyo for this series! It's a very laid back area that I love to go on my days off, so hope you guys enjoy exploring this area with me!! 😀 Other Tokyo hidden spot series: kzfaq.info/sun/PLyBS-iUqzY5ZmJw3erBlkdv0ybcOBG9iN

Me and my girlfriend stayed in Nakano, Suginami after watching this video. Absolutely loved our time staying there while in Tokyo, especially around the Koenji area. So many great bars, cafes, and restaurants. And you're only a couple of minutes on the train into Shinjuku or Shibuya. Thank you so much for suggesting Midorizushi! Had one of the best meals of my life there! The owners were so friendly and spent much of the night talking with the locals and drinking saki. We've promised to go back there for the rugby world cup so looks like we will definitely be returning.

If you’re looking for where to live in Tokyo, strongly I recommend to settle in Suginami town such as Koenji, Asagaya. I’ve lived in more than 10 places in Tokyo including Asakusa, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro...but Koenji is the best for me so far! Of course every town has unique interesting spots or shops, but Koenji, this town brings me fruitful culture experiences. And apartments nearby are reasonable I think.

This neighborhood looks adorbs! 😃 What a serene, peaceful park〜

I LOVE all the Tokyo hidden gems!! More please! You are such a wonderful ambassador for Japan.

I wish your videos where longer! ❤️ I love that you go to off beat areas. This is how I want to visit japan

when i was in japan i just went to any station, took any train to any direction, left the train at any station...and walked in any direction for a few hours...without my smartphone or anything like that (i left it at home in germany). so...if you ever come to japan...try to do it the same way. you will be suprised about your discovery.

Ahhh the quality of your content, your editing creativity, and your level of comfort in front of the camera/microphone have grown sooo much over the past year. And your channel is so unique in that we've been able to see your sincere happiness of exploring Japan evolve and grow stronger in every video. I follow many channels focused on exploring Japan, but yours is the only one that makes me want to talk to every shop owner right here where I live, even though I live so far away from Japan, and just be a better human being in general.

Thanks to you I have so many more authentic and local places on my Tokyo bucket list! It's a dream of mine to go Japan and experience the country as authentically as possible and you're helping me make that a reality, thank you!

I really appreciate these Hidden Spots videos you're making. Japanese culture is so intriguing already, but you add so much more to my "if/when I go to Japan" list. :{D

I was there today :) sadly Midori Sushi was closed but the Hattifnatt was super cute! Around Koenji Station the area has a bit of a Shiwa-Kitazawa vibe to it because there are many vintage and second-hand stores there but overall it feels less crowded! Thanks for all your osusume :P

I am in love with this place. Its so Artsy everywhere. I am so glad you made this video. I WANNA GO TO JAPAN NOW.

Hey Angela, I'm from Christchurch NZ 😊 I just wanted to say I've been watching your videos for a while and love them! They fuel my love for Japan. My brother lives in Tokyo, I've visited once and can't wait to return!!!

I will win the bubble competition next time!!!!! Like the bgm~~~~

You're making me want to already come back to Japan with your videos ! I have the feeling that Suginami has the same atmosphere as Shimokitazawa, but more laid back :) Love the concept of the hotel !

Hi, Angela. I'm a medial doctor in Kure, Hiroshima. Your English is clear, easy and understandable for me. And you are very cute. So I enjoy your video everyday. Thank you.

Love all your videos! It makes planning a trip to Japan so much easier!

Oh, the closed captions are hillarious!!! "like asking bacon I..." Nailed it. This was a really cute video showing the outskirts. Arigato gozaimasu!

Thanks for the video. I lived in Suginamiku for 7 years. Been to Koenji many times especially for Awaodori but I learn some new things from your video. Now I take tours to Japan from India and your tips are very useful to me. Keep the good work going.

Me and my husband are going to Japan on December and I have been watching your videos....they have been very helpfullllll....we want to visit Hokkaido....we are waiting for your video!!! We are from Guatemala....so glad I found your channel!!!! We are definitely taking your advice in many things!! Keep posting!!!

that neighborhood looks so cute, thanks for sharing this! i'm really into art and vintage things so i think i'll definitely check it out once i'm in tokyo!

Love how you put everything together for each video, and showing the pure Japan with us! Keep up the good works :D

woah, I always wanted to go to Japan, those peaceful places you've visited speak to my soul, thank you for making these videos and sharing a piece of the world with those who don't have the means to see it by themselves ^^

Tokyo was so large and I was afraid to miss the iconic scenes, but this channel is helping me get to know Tokyo a little deeper. so ill be ready for next time!

I was there when you had 1000 sub and now you have more than 100000 congratulations. bud

I have been to Japan with my wife who is Japanese. She was the best tour guide, but I remember watching the TV show, Tsuiseki. It was English-friendly and very educational about Japan. It is a good idea to learn as much as possible about Japan before you travel there. Good video. Domo. I love Japan and your video reminded me why.

Koenji is such an amazing place! The people there were very welcoming and accommodating.

Loving the series. The only problem, every time I watch, I cry a little because I am not there.

A wonderful video Angela! In 12 years here in Tokyo...never have I been this area...lol Thank you for sharing this!

That was fun! We will be back in Japan next year, meanwhile still uploading footage from our recent trip 😘

Angela, another great video of another grear area to explore! I would love the antique and junk shop, my type of store to browse and buy. The food looks amazing!

アンジェラさん！ビデオ本当に楽しかった、東京からかいたばっかりです、またすぐ日本に行きたい。 Please keep making these awesome videos, love watching them! Mahalo from Hawaii

Is it only me but your friend looks like Haruka Ayase. (Beautiful Japanese actress)

Nice video.. beautiful country.. very peaceful environment.. very clean..Japan is the best ..2018 i was in Japan for few days.. Japanese people are very polite and helpful..love this beautiful country...always pray to visit there again and again... Thank you for uploading this beautiful video..

this WHOLE video is going to be in my japan wishlist😭😭💟💕💘

Oh, I went to that Hattifnatt cafe once, soo cute!! Love random Tokyo neighborhoods videos, great job! :)

I stayed in minami asagaya in july and I fall in love with the koenji/asagaya area Theres a sweets shop in pearl center where they sell a yellow box that says asagaya no namiki. The dorayaki inside is to die for.

Was talking to my friend about your video, thought I would copy/paste what I wrote to him: Short, cute girls, shows plenty of clips of them doing stuff, not just stretching their arm and filming, plenty of color, plenty of different good looking clips, she has music playing in the background when interviewing people so it kinda helps me forgot the not amazing audio. Again, the fucking COLOR is popping in this! Again, the shots are so great as well. Looks very well, clean, polished, not so shakey, she changes the angle each time they do a new action. You could say she gets cheat points cause she is pretty cute, but you can tell she worked really hard getting and setting up all those shots as well as all the editing she did for the whole video as well. Either way, really well made video. My only gripe is that it had the same jingle/song playing the time, but it's so small, easily can be overlooked. Anyways, THAT'S why she has 100,000+ subs lol. She makes high quality videos that are easy and fun to digest.

I discovered your channel after seeing you wander around Tokyo in a "Life where I'm from video", was pleasantly surprised that you dozens of other videos showing hidden spots in Japan! Keep up the good work!

Oh my GOSH!!!! that animation museum and ART HOTEL look AMAZING!!!!!! I really, really wanna go there!!!

It's nice to see part of a city filled with arts. I'd love to visit those places.

What a colorful world this would be if we had more BnA type hotels!

Oh wow! My boyfriend and I are going to Japan this October and I have booked all the hotels except for our last night, as we are hoping to find a special hotel. I think I'll go with the hotel you showed! It looks amazing!! Thank you!

I really loved the last part of the trip, where you can go make your own traditional Japanese sweet. It looks so delicious with a cup of tea with it. Does the teacher have it in English or is it only in Japanese for the lessons?

I really like hidden spots videos. Great video. Friendly down to earth style. Getting cozy watching videos like that. Thanks.

Really impressed with the video presentation and camera work! Really indulged me to go visit Japan@!

BnA hotel is like an art major's fantasy!!! 😍😍😍

All the places you visited were really interesting and beautiful! The cafe seems like a place I would really like to visit :D

Thankyou very much for sharing these hidden spots :3 Please keep making videos like this, it's satisfying. P.S: Your videos are great!

また面白そうな店を紹介したビデオをアップしていただいて有り難う。杉並区に行ったことがあるけどあの店はまだ。

I love your Tokyo off the beaten tracks videos!

The hidden gems are my favorite! Again, thanks for sharing out the bits and pieces of Japan!

Love your videos! The shrine does look peaceful, seems like the shrine you went to had hardly any tourists which is less hectic.

That cafe looks so cute and cozy! I hope i can visit one day

外国人による日本紹介動画はたくさんあるケド、日本人の英語の動画って初めて見た 旅行者ではなく、住んでるヒトの目線での紹介は新鮮。

This is the kind of video of tokyo that we need.

You should go again to Asagaya now, they've just started the Tanabata Matsuri. :) Also, if you like japanese sweets I HIGHLY recommend checking "Usagiya" shop, they have the best dorayaki I've ever eaten. I've been living in Suginami-ku for 6 years now (first Koenji, then Asagaya) and I love this area.

Love you and your videos! Thank you SO much for sharing! Can’t wait for more!
