      A livestream is better for that type of content. Raw unfiltered/unedited live footage of the cities, villages and people. This type of content also doesn't challenge Chris as a content creator hovering around educational and entertainment type videos. Just walking around the touristy cities...?

    I'm so jealous of how walkable Tokyo is. If you tried this in Texas you'd bump into an uncrossable highway, or find a bridge that had no pedestrian access, or just notice the utter lack of sidewalks in so many places.

    This video is basically a walking journey of the stops I take during the week. My jobs office is right in front of the tallest the tallest building in Japan ( in the Roppongi Azabu-dai area ).
    Nice that the video ends in Hobgoblin, where many people end up in Shibuya.

    This is probably one of my favorite videos of you, for sure!
    It was funny, interesting, and even your sour humour was really nice balance to this video! Your guest is also super fun! I'm gonna watch the other videos with him too!
    It reminded me of when my cousins from other cities would come by São Paulo and we'd walk all over town! I know you said that it's a big walk, but it also reminded me that some parts could def be those walk around streams, very chill, but probably tiring to make yes?
    I hope I get more money this month bc I'm curious to get the full version from patreon now!

    It feels weird watching your channel after having lived in Japan for a few months as an exchange student. Before, when I watched your channel everything was like a detached feeling of splendor and wonder, but now, I have context. I've been in these places, I understand them, I know where they are and how to get there via train or subway or walking, what the vibes are, and what it's like to really be there. So, if watching your videos before gave me a sense of unknown wonder, now it's like a warm sense of familiarity. Not sure what I want to say with this comment, but thanks for your videos Chris, they're always a treat!

      Same here. It has been 8 months and I will leave in May but I've walked and travelled all across Japan and have seen a whole lot in Tokyo. Especially the area east of Asakusa around Sumidagawa. Haven't watched the video yet but I doubt they walked along the river there. If anyone is visiting Tokyo, go down to the riverside walkway at around Kuramae and walk your way up to Asakusa in the evening. Not only is it incredibly relaxing to walk along the river in evening, you also get beautiful views of it and Tokyo Skytree before eventually walking back up to Sensoji, which is always nicer to experience when the crowds are gone.

    Pete brings a certain fun and innocence, to these videos. Maybe it's his constant upbeat attitude that seems in such contrast to Chris, who plays the serious man, but the combination cannot be denied - it's great fun!

    This was a lot of fun, I'd love to meet Pete. I'm definitely gonna check out his twice channel as well. He's a chill guy. Also, he's American, so SUPPIRT OUR BRO!!
    It's funny how much of the journey reminds me of how it looks here in New York, how Shibuya looks like Times Square, how the walk through Roppongi looks like the alleyways in Brooklyn and the Tokyo Station looks like a location in Manhattan on 14th street or the Midtown station where you get the Amtrack train. I've always wanted to go to Japan, and after seeing all this, I NEED to go there now.

    Hey Chris, nice video and thanks for the great impressions of Tokyo. can you do walk across Kyoto next? I will visit Japan in November and that would be badass if you would show us more from Kyoto

    Do a version with the night and day parts reversed, so maybe walk it backwards? Also, would love to see a loop, maybe over a week. Also maybe an interesting architecture one by broad era: Traditional, modern, etc. Or Juxtapose super busy spot next to meditative quiet spot next door.

    Reminds me of my first day visiting Tokyo in 2019. Walked 25k steps. Was quite tired at the end of the day 😅

    I absolutely loved this video. I lived in Tokyo for a year back in 2009-2010 and loved it so much. Just seeing you walking the streets was so nostalgic. And I'm glad to see Ameyoko! I feel like it's often overlooked but was always one of my favorite places to visit.

    its pretty amazing how they travelled 20 kms and visited absolute beautiful and unique places and the best you can do here in America (walking/driving the same distance) is visit the next McDonald's!

    I kinda wish it was longer and more like a livestream. Making it a livestream is obviously dangerous but I would really like to just see you guys just walking around amazing cities and exploring it like a video game.

    I really like how Tokyo is super walkable! When I was there I was averaging 40k steps per day and was able to explore the majority of the city within a week. Sure some stretches between cities (like the straight road between Shibuya and Roppongi) aren't the most exciting, but you can make it more interesting by adding a few detours to shrines or parks along the way.

    I was in Japan in October, and realized one of my dreams - I walked the entire route of the Yamanote line, Shimbashi to Shimbashi. Took all day, not much time for sight-seeing, but why not?

  • T Snap

    We were there this weekend too. Will be back next weekend.
    I suggest, for retro games, go to Mandrake not Super Potato - it's half the price.
    Also, it would be totally awesome if you did a video like this in Kamakura, by where I live! It's an ancient town where the ruling seat used to be - great food and temples. Also they have a Shiba Inu and cat cafe..

    I've just gotten into walking around my own city, we just moved somewhere that shops are actually walking distance, so this is perfect timing! You should totally keep this up as a series

    Honestly, this would have been a great time to put out a 16h uncut video of you just walking through Tokyo. It might seem boring to you, but all the mundane sights and ambient sounds are the most immersive feelings about traveling, but no one posts them because they seem boring. Everyone wants to travel right now, but not everyone can afford it. Playing a walk through Tokyo in the background while I wfh or do my taxes would be relaxing.

    Fellow boar here, we pay in full! Awesome video, really cool just seeing what's around. Sharing it with American Pete is a bonus. I agree with Pete on the walking over cars, here we don't even have sidewalks we have to drive everywhere.

    Love to see some stories about the underwater coasts of Japan sea life if you ever could figure out how to film that well. Underwater technology is ever evolving and it's getting much easier to film some great stuff under the surface

    I'm only 30 seconds in and I already have to comment on how fucking great you look. Whatever you're doing, it's working perfectly and I'm immensely impressed. Not that I wasn't impressed by your stellar content and ability to entertain me for what feels like 10 years now (in a good way) already but I'm specifically impressed with your physical transformation and I hope with all of my heart that you feel as good as you look. Let your sense of self-worth be permanently boosted by all that success. Now, excuse me while I have 30 minutes of Pog content to watch :D

    This brings be back to both Tokyo and Taiwan with the fried chicken. Tokyo is definitely the most walkable city I've been to, I walked at least 10km per day when I was there.

    I think it would have been a much nicer route if after Akiba you had walked through Jimbocho, the old castle area, then towards Roppongi Hills and then either straight to Shibuya or make a short detour via Ebisu. It would have been shorter and I think there would have been more to see.
