Jason in Tokyo - Vlog #7 - Motorcycle Street in Ueno

This area near Ueno JR station is called Korin-cho Motorcycle Neighborhood.
You can get to it in two minutes from the Iriyaguchi exit.

It's on the opposite side of the station from Ueno Park.

This vlog is the start of my Saturday of sightseeing. I'll finish off the day with a walk thru the Ameya-yokocho arcade shopping district with Hikosaemon and other YouTubers. This famous bustling enclave of small shops is located just opposite the south entrance to Ueno eki.

More soon!

I want a bike!

BTW, Sensoji is a temple, not shrine (the "ji" means temple). There's a cute little shrine off to the side of it though, so that counts. :P

Oh and "Sunkus" is pronounced "sunks"...it's a failed Japanese attempt to say "Thanks". (not joking)

Oh, and I want a bike~!!!

[myargonauts]

cool - thanks for the info.

yeah - I knew it was a temple - I just forget all the time and say the wrong thing... I'm already having "senior" moments and I'm not even 40 yet! :P

Sankus is supposed to be the Japanese pronouncation of "Thanks" . Anyway Hopefully you can put up a vid of Akihabara and Shinjuku.

[myargonauts]

ahh naru hodo.. that makes sense...

Japan, being mountains sticking out the ocean, is ideal for motorcycles, from what I've heard. Those lovely road in your videos only help confirm this.

Awesome news, I finally get to go to Japan this summer. Spending a month in Nagoya, then a whirlwind jaunt across Honshu.

[myargonauts]

very cool - it'll be hot but I'm sure you'll have a great time

ME to damnit!!! Ill either take a V-rod a gold wing or hayabusa. OR maybe a little convenient gas sipping scooter such as the nice silver wing.

Well, wherever I went they called the Conbini "san-kasu", but I've only been in the northeastern parts of Japan.

Akihabara! I am totally jealous! If I get to go to Japan, I have determined that I am going to buy a scooter! ^_^

[stefmax]

Some of the bikes are so stylish and retro!

I cannot wait to own one!

Thanks for the rockin' video!

[emergencyincas]

Yeah. It's a shame I'll be a month too early for the Nagoya sumo tournament.  Woulda been great to see a bit of it.

Hello Jason! Thanks for sharing your video. Lots of scooters and motorcycles in Tokyo, huh? Have you seen any car accidents? Do you think the people there are better drivers than they are here in America? We just had a fatal crash here 2 nights ago, around the corner... someone my husband knows slammed into a pecan tree. Of course, he was speeding though! Seems like out here in the country people think they've got the RIGHT to speed because we are rural. It's a shame!!

I thought a couple of those bikes were pimp looking. That all white one was pretty cool looking. I wouldn't ride it, but some people might. That's pretty cool neighborhood.
