  • Its a great city to travel around, but not recommended for foreigners to stay for a living...

  • @bluesnow83 Why is that ?

  • Honestly, the subways look worse than they are. Ive lived in Tokyo for 6 months, and it only really happens if you go to Shibuya, Shinjuku etc. And even if the trains are so full, it feels less cramped than it looks

  • so squishy in da subway.

    How can you fit. Kinda wierd

  • It's like being in a can of sardines! That has to suck

  • too short, i wanted more....

  • omg, the subways!? must freakin' suck for those who are claustrophobic !!! o__o

  • poor japanese. their sumo owned by MONGOLIANS :D

  • OMG Rei from evangelion at 2:36

  • What a busy city. The workers at cities usually live at the outskirts of the city. They look so tired in the train.

  • tokyo looks like a sad place...

  • those japs are eating the whole oceans :(

  • @NecrotiKmax well Japan is a group of islands, what do you want them to eat, and P.S. don't call them Japs

  • @wingwaabuddha its short for japanese bro

  • @themanisheab180237ce its also a racist slur

  • @wingwaabuddha nah man its not, ask any japanese they won't care

  • Comment removed

  • @themanisheab180237ce

    It is a derogatory term from World War II. Do NOT use the term "Jap". It IS offensive.

  • It's videos like this that remind me of how much I miss the sites and sounds of Tokyo.

  • i´m so happy to fly in 1 month to japan... :D

  • @liberty1211 How was Tokyo?

  • @DaanSan90 live changing! i never really was into Japan, until I´ve get an invatation from someone to visit Japan. And now I´m planning my next trip to Tokyo!Hopefully you get one day the chance to visit Japan :)

  • @liberty1211 Yeah, sounds really cool. Everyone who been to Japan says it was amazing, and i know i will go to Japan in one of the next years. Did you learned Japanese?

  • Hey nice video of Tokyo -- would love to get the soundtrack (Sunya's Freedom). Is it available somewhere?

  • It's good to be lonely Tokyo moods because I love that scenery which look like very peace and relaxation. When you take photo yourself there, the pictures will be like very japanese background and soulful in mind. Peace . The reason that you need Peace that why , so that you won't get any headache. Believe it . peace

  • sick

  • @miyo0no0tenshi go for it!

  • it's a lonely planet. so safe.

  • ↑ private room hostel for you. cheap!

  • i live in tokyo :D

  • I was so close to going to Tokyo until I got fired from my job. Now my Tokyo money is going to rent. Fuck you Walmart!

  • Comment removed

  • @Zombiebushi Well you know walmart...they only made a gajillion fucking dollars selling Chinese crap this year.......................so no job for you.

  • you better grow up and once try to get out of your small neighborhood or your mother's room.

    the world is not so simple that you can generalize in such a naive way without seeing them by yourself.

  • I love tokyo I love Japan

    regards from mexico

  • AYA HIRANO

  • 0:27 What are those? They look almost like small seals..

  • Tuna, frozen.

  • That fishes  look TUNA.

  • Asian's are beautiful people and I hope they share their culture and technology with the world.

  • Are you sure about that? Well I'm Asian and my people want to be just like you

  • @Jaiyeson Fuck the west, America and middle east. No one deserves our culture or technology, you barbarians will only use it to kill innocent people.

  • try to visit asia... and see for yourself

  • Wassup ugly pinky?

  • @ReturnOfJackDawson Are you serious? why are you so ignorant, there are billions of peope in the world, and "Asians" are not ugly, thats just stupid, why do you act like this? were you not breast fed?

  • @wingwaabuddha that was me one year ago. Today: Asians are very beautiful people with a gracious culture and amazing history. I am happy they are part of this world.

  • If you're flying from North America, you are going to be jetlagged so you will wake up around 3 AM the first morning.

    I advise you to get up anyway visit the fish market, which was the first thing shown in this vid (with all the haggling). It's a ridiculous experience and a very unofficial tourist destination.

  • i'm in tokyo that pretty much sums it up. crazzzy city

  • I was selected from People to People, mabey I should make a video from my trip to Japan!!! P.S. 100 yen is about a dollar here!!!!

  • tokyo and Shibuya known as little tokyo!!! Is awesome Ive been there four times and never get tired of japan!! Im going to move there next year can't wait!

  • This is the third video i've watched of the LonelyPlanet channel! Already, I'm so inspired!! It's like you guys are living my dream! keep up the amazing work!

  • love how there's no inane commentary over this

    travelling to exotic places is meant to take you away from all of that...to discover something beyond tv etc

    great movie, can't wait to discover it for myself

  • amazing!

  • amazing. im slowly going insane by not going.

  • Right? I have been wanting to go for soooo long. The airfare alone will put me on the streets. I still wanna go!

  • hahaha yeah.. ive said many times before.. i'll just eat some rice and sleep on a park bench! XD

  • I have been and its beautiful, the people are respectful, they have an old culture and society that makes japan a wonderful place to go. My heart is there.

  • a new look on the one of the most famous cities on earth

    great!

  • YUM! WHALE! lol!

  • I'm pretty sure those were tuna.  Yes they get that big.

  • intersting, great vid.

  • omg i remember about pushing in the train when i was touring japan! i just see my friend pushing and pushing and im like 0.0 and she is like 'PUSSHHHH!'

  • Lived there for almost 5 years. This is a film that for me describes well the feeling of serenity one often gets in one of the greatest and safest cities in the world.

  • man this vid didnt tell me anything just some sleep time music and people going about there daily grind

  • wow, tokyo is so great

  • Wow so crowded, yet interesting look.

  • Brilliant.

  • i've sent more than a few ahi that way

  • great vid !! lovely shot !

  • lol! you're quite right! we could actually feel it nowadays. ah, why did they spam you? ah, i guess some people misunderstood your intentions. be patient. such things happen whenever one cares to spread the Word of GOD.

    take care and GOD bless!

    ;D

  • Comment removed

  • i freaking complain about nyc's crowded subways,but im so thankful im not smashed up against someone like sardine on a daily basis like those commuters.

  • great video. it really encapsulated authentic tokyo life. just the sounds of tokyo brought back a lot of memories.

  • Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

  • True art. A vast and busy city, yet it zooms down to individuals. Many going places, by themselves, to who knows where.

  • wow. definitely a bleak and interesting look into tokyo.

  • Ive been to Tokyo ....its just too hectick always on the go. I dont like thier pace its too much!

  • Do you wonder why sumo wrestlers toss salt in the sumo ring?

    With all your offerings you shall offer salt." (Leviticus 2:13

  • what u been smoking, coz i want some !!

    so u saying the jap adopted 80 of jewish culture but yet turn out to be mostly buddist ?

    how the fuck u recon the jap go influenced by the jews ?? since u guys were isolated on that little island and if what u say is true, shouldnt areas such as japan and korea be just as fucked up like japan ??

    are u in a cult ?????????

    so if people toss salt in a restaurant hahahhahaa is not for good lucky but coz its some jewish religious believes i guess.

  • Excellent video. Good composition of the images, good pacing, good editing. I don't know what the deal is with the weird comments for this. This is a really well-made video. - LHS

  • I wanna go visit Japan :)

  • you're full of shit!!! shut up!!!!!!!!!!

  • well put together video.

    I enjoyed it, thanks :)

  • ?? wtf

  • are you high ?

  • You idiot.

    Have you tried searching? I bet not!

    Here it is:

    watch?v=n-8y96LVlsc

  • of course not, why would i wanna serach for someting which is totally pathetic, is like i ask u to serach for mermaids.

    u JpaJew

  • mermaids are not jewish.

  • but can you refute that video for as much knowledge it has? Then why does katakana have many similar drawing with same similar pronouncation? You can't call that random convergence at all.

    So youre reply shows no educational rational thought.

  • yes, everything came from isreal, even the S.A.R, HIV, wars and all the stupidies too

  • Lol, man, what r talkin'bout?

  • 80% of your brain was lost to meth.

  • a crowded and modern city.. people there must be very stressful..

  • thats why we go drinking everyday after work! W

  • Thank you! i almost went to Tokyo 3weeks ago (my friend's shooting was canceled so we got to kep the plane tickets, which were unfortunatly not transferable to another person.. *who cares about my life?*) since than, i keep on watching vids and documen,taries about this place.. it's fascinating, and exactly the extreme opposite of other places i've been to so far.

  • great vid well put together..really puts you there :)

  • love Tokyo

  • nice video

  • 2.02 that building looks like a cell phone or some electronic gadget for ur nitetable 3.34 that road sign is insane XD. At the end the railway sound with the city view feels like a heart and avenues look like artries. Cool video!!!

  • You captured the feeling pretty well. There is a few clip that should have been included though. The virtually closed packed downtown streets on weekends, elementary school students, and a scene of it's beautiful ponds to show it's non-industrial side.

  • cool portrayal of a lonely life in tokyo. amazing city..

  • I can feel the lonely mood of the citizen of Tokyo

  • Nadie se habla, ni se mira a la cara, al menos en el video... que bonito video!

    Sera por eso que son los mas trabajadores en el mundo!

  • Nice Vid.

  • LOL 1:05 but its relly cool city

  • Now i see why the the japanese like their space because they don't get enough of it. that's why they rather shake hands and bow. acourse for respect and grace but i love this city i really do.

  • going there in a few weeks! can't wait

  • great movie and great soundtrack

    as good as the one on california

    keep up the good work!

  • *****

  • Love it. Was there earlier this year and cannot wait until I get the chance to go back. An amazing city.

  • God I hope the U.S. never becomes that crowded.

  • *pray

  • this movie is awesome, nobody is speaking, images speaks for themselves

  • very good vid

  • mad, but yet beautiful place

  • Nice work - bonne souvenir

  • <33 tokyo
