Touring Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Golden Gai Nightlife Area and Godzilla Hotel
Рет қаралды 9,066
Күн бұрынToday is our first of 2 days Touring Tokyo and we start in the Shinjuku area. We explore several areas of Tokyo including restaurants and shopping before ending in the Shinjuku area where the Hotel Gracery, or the Godzilla Hotel is located. We tour the Godzilla Hotel then spend an evening in the Golden Gai bar area. This area has hundreds of very small bars, some that only seat a couple of people at a time. We had a great time touring Tokyo, the Shinjuku and Golden Gai Areas.
Here’s a link to the “Godzilla Hotel”, The Hotel Gracery Shinjuku: gracery.com/sh...

I love those tiny bars! How fun! In 1980-81 I was stationed, as a Marine Corps active duty person, in Iwakuni Japan for a year. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. Great video!

I love Japan. I've been watching Japan videos from the start of my youtube history. It was watching a princess cruise sailing out of Yokohama that got me addicted to cruising youtube videos. I ran out of english speaking videos of people living or visiting Japan - so I watched that 1st cruise video. I've been addicted to cruise videos ever since. Cruise videos allow me to experience all kind of new countries. It's kind of nice that it's come full circle. My cruise videos brought me back to Japan.

I am loving all these Pro Tips on Japan! Thank you so much. I experienced a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Maryland at my house in 2011! Didn't know what was happening. My house is a Colonial type house and it seemed like the top floor was going one way and the main floor was going another way. My husband was at work in DC, but my son was upstairs. He was home from college. He came running down and said "That was an earthquake!" He had done a class in California in the summer in high school at LMU and experienced an earthquake when he was there. No damage was done to my house, thank goodness, but I will never forget the experience. This was the same earthquake that damaged the Washington Monument in DC.

I’m really enjoying your visit to Japan. I grew up on Okinawa and visited Tokyo as a little girl 60 years ago! If you visit the San Francisco Bay Area there’s an earthquake simulator at the Cal Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park.

Question: How do couples feel about living in tight quarters together for an extended period of time? You obviously have the whole ship to explore, but personally, I need a little quiet time alone each day to recharge. Just curious how your fellow world travellers are feeling. Thanks again for bringing us along with you!! 💕
@livingphase2 2 ай бұрын
For the most part everyone's doing great, we all have agreements with our spouse if we need quiet time we just let him know. This is Mike and sometimes we'll go to the pub with the guys and play some darts while the answer to the spouses relax or she may go do some cross stitch and I'll go do something else. So it allows us a little bit of recharge time as you said

Kind of like the “Tokyo” airports. The Haneda Airport (HND) is right in the Tokyo Prefecture, but the Narita Airport (NRT) is over an hour outside of Tokyo. In regards of transportations, an alternative to buying tickets, for iPhone users, you can actually create a virtual IC Card in Wallet to be used. For Android phones that support NFC that has Google Pay, you can do the same thing.

I was in Japan in January & compared to the rest of Tokyo, to me Shinjuku looks like Times Square - dirty party district. You’re still safe there though, especially compared to most major metropolitan areas of the world.

I've been meaning to ask you, how has the air quality been in Asia? At least between Korea, China and Japan? I've often heard its awful and that's why so many locals wear masks. Also, I was surprised to see the signs that say No smoking on the street! Is smoking discouraged there?
@livingphase2 2 ай бұрын
In many of the Asian countries the air quality was very very poor, lots of smog still using a lot of coal powered and oil-powered generators. Japan was much better but China and the other countries it was quite bad beard as far as the no smoking signs I think they're trying to discourage smoking but there's still much much of it everywhere

I'm so curious if you see any homeless people/encampments like we have in most all big cities here in the USA?? If not, I wonder why we can't learn from countries like Japan and figure out how to improve the situation here for all involved...
@livingphase2 2 ай бұрын
Not so much in japan, but we did see immense poverty in many other locations. Much of the reason they haven't had as much homelessness there is there has been for their whole history a deep culture of work is honor. If you don't work, you dishonor your family, and that has a huge part in how Japanese society is run overall. It is a very monolithic culture
