1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,823
Hey guys! Today, we are in south part
of Shinjuku Station.

2
00:00:03,823 --> 00:00:05,903
It's a little bit cloudy today.

3
00:00:05,903 --> 00:00:08,854
And the weather, suddenly, 
it gets much cooler.

4
00:00:08,854 --> 00:00:11,078
Today, it's 6th of November.

5
00:00:11,078 --> 00:00:15,019
Temperature, the highest is 17°C, 
lowest is 11°C.

6
00:00:15,019 --> 00:00:16,910
Right now, it's 16°C.

7
00:00:16,910 --> 00:00:20,184
Wind is 5 m/s, 72% humidity.

8
00:00:20,184 --> 00:00:21,590
It might be raining.

9
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:23,768
We are at the Penguin Square.

10
00:00:23,768 --> 00:00:27,194
South part of Shinjuku, compared 
to north part Shinjuku,

11
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:29,062
it's really quiet.

12
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:31,940
We can enjoy the beautiful 
train view as well.

13
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:36,150
So, we will start the tour from here,
and we will come back later.

14
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:37,945
Probably, it will get darker.

15
00:00:37,945 --> 00:00:41,719
In nighttime, this place becomes 
more beautiful.

16
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:42,898
So, in this video,

17
00:00:42,898 --> 00:00:46,401
I will introduce good and cheap 
Japanese chain restaurants,

18
00:00:46,401 --> 00:00:49,108
which you can eat less than $5 USD.

19
00:00:49,108 --> 00:00:50,794
Yes, less than $5.

20
00:00:50,794 --> 00:00:53,285
However, the taste is pretty good, too.

21
00:00:53,285 --> 00:00:55,740
Also, I will introduce the 
Shinjuku town, too.

22
00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:58,470
So, hope this video will help
for your next Japan trip.

23
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:59,303
Oh, by the way...

24
00:00:59,303 --> 00:01:01,010
Hey guys! 
Welcome back to Rion's TV!

25
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:03,394
I'm Rion. Seeno... Gao!!

26
00:01:03,394 --> 00:01:05,306
Please check my Instagram, too.

27
00:01:05,306 --> 00:01:09,135
All right, so let's keep walking. 
Let's go!

28
00:01:09,135 --> 00:01:13,747
So, the first restaurant located
in east part of Shinjuku.

29
00:01:13,747 --> 00:01:15,685
Let's keep walking.

30
00:01:15,685 --> 00:01:16,569
By the way...

31
00:01:16,569 --> 00:01:20,381
If you're using the express bus
or airport express bus,

32
00:01:20,381 --> 00:01:23,667
Busta Shinjuku locates over here.

33
00:01:23,667 --> 00:01:26,317
So, just remember the south exit.

34
00:01:26,613 --> 00:01:31,048
Express first terminal locates
beside the department store.

35
00:01:31,048 --> 00:01:33,974
So, pretty much you can buy everything.

36
00:01:33,974 --> 00:01:38,302
Souvenir, bento... 
Or even the sweets as well.

37
00:01:38,697 --> 00:01:41,788
And this is the Takashimaya Times Square.

38
00:01:41,788 --> 00:01:45,793
Takashimaya is really popular 
department store in Japan.

39
00:01:45,793 --> 00:01:49,469
They have one of the cleanest
restroom in Shinjuku.

40
00:01:49,469 --> 00:01:51,116
This is the second floor.

41
00:01:51,116 --> 00:01:53,498
We gotta go down to the first floor.

42
00:01:53,498 --> 00:01:57,280
Since it's windy today,
feels much cooler.

43
00:01:57,596 --> 00:02:02,499
As you guys know, this year's
Japan's weather is totally weird.

44
00:02:02,499 --> 00:02:05,727
Yes, it's much hotter compared
to the usual year.

45
00:02:05,727 --> 00:02:08,284
My original plan was visiting Nikko today

46
00:02:08,284 --> 00:02:11,642
for watching the beautiful 
autumn leaves at Nikko.

47
00:02:11,642 --> 00:02:14,790
However, when I checked the 
official website of them,

48
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:18,625
still, it's not fully changed
the color yet,

49
00:02:18,625 --> 00:02:20,304
which is totally weird.

50
00:02:20,304 --> 00:02:23,524
Because in the regular season,
already, they changed the color.

51
00:02:23,524 --> 00:02:25,536
So that's why I changed my plan.

52
00:02:25,536 --> 00:02:30,528
And probably, we'll visit there next 
week or two weeks from now.

53
00:02:30,528 --> 00:02:34,471
Some part of Nikko, already, 
tree color has changed.

54
00:02:34,471 --> 00:02:37,172
But not in the main color.

55
00:02:37,172 --> 00:02:39,517
So, I think we'd better wait.

56
00:02:39,517 --> 00:02:45,008
Now, we are heading to Shinjuku 
National Garden areas.

57
00:02:45,008 --> 00:02:48,341
We turn right over here and keep straight.

58
00:02:48,341 --> 00:02:50,496
It becomes the backstreet.

59
00:02:50,496 --> 00:02:52,154
There is McDonald's.

60
00:02:52,154 --> 00:02:55,668
And also, capsule hotel, too.

61
00:02:55,668 --> 00:02:59,684
Compared to the east part of Shinjuku,
it's not that convenient.

62
00:02:59,684 --> 00:03:02,531
However, I believe price is cheaper.

63
00:03:02,531 --> 00:03:07,695
Haven't tried here, but seems like 
the price is pretty good.

64
00:03:07,695 --> 00:03:10,862
Ten hours, 4,000 Japanese yen.

65
00:03:10,862 --> 00:03:13,521
There is a free morning curry.

66
00:03:13,521 --> 00:03:15,523
And also, the dinner as well.

67
00:03:15,523 --> 00:03:19,476
After 5:00 p.m. really?
It's all-you-can-drink alcohol.

68
00:03:19,476 --> 00:03:23,434
Seems like there is a nice 
artificial hot spring inside.

69
00:03:23,434 --> 00:03:26,048
And also, the capsule floor.

70
00:03:26,048 --> 00:03:27,618
Oh, interesting.

71
00:03:27,618 --> 00:03:31,506
But unfortunately, it's only
for men only though.

72
00:03:31,506 --> 00:03:35,973
Maybe if you want to save money,
you can try here.

73
00:03:35,973 --> 00:03:40,042
For the backpackers, I think it would 
be a good option, I believe.

74
00:03:40,042 --> 00:03:42,413
So, the first good and cheap restaurant,

75
00:03:42,413 --> 00:03:45,527
located just over there at the corner,

76
00:03:45,527 --> 00:03:48,415
which is really famous one in the world.

77
00:03:48,415 --> 00:03:51,310
All right, here we go.
We can see from here.

78
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:53,784
Yes, it's Yoshinoya.

79
00:03:53,784 --> 00:03:56,381
Yoshinoya, needless to explain,

80
00:03:56,381 --> 00:03:58,822
it's a good and cheap
beef bowl restaurant.

81
00:03:58,822 --> 00:04:04,298
In Yoshinoya, you can eat the beef bowl 
with only 500 Japanese yen.

82
00:04:04,298 --> 00:04:09,674
Thinking about $1 US dollar is about
153 Japanese yen right now...

83
00:04:09,674 --> 00:04:15,437
Even you can eat this omurice curry 
with beef, including tax,

84
00:04:15,437 --> 00:04:19,028
it costs a little bit over $5 USD.

85
00:04:19,028 --> 00:04:23,010
But thinking about the quality,
it's pretty good.

86
00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:25,725
If you spend $6 USD,

87
00:04:25,725 --> 00:04:30,028
even you can have this 
sukiyaki set menu items.

88
00:04:30,848 --> 00:04:35,562
Probably, it never happens in 
most of the countries.

89
00:04:35,562 --> 00:04:38,804
The next restaurant we can see from here.

90
00:04:38,804 --> 00:04:42,340
Yes, it locates just over there, Sukiya.

91
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:47,250
Sukiya is also a beef bowl restaurant.

92
00:04:47,250 --> 00:04:50,150
It is not as popular as Yoshinoya.

93
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:52,910
However, it's pretty popular in Japan.

94
00:04:52,910 --> 00:04:55,188
Opens 24/7 as well.

95
00:04:55,188 --> 00:04:59,047
If you come over here
during the lunchtime,

96
00:04:59,047 --> 00:05:02,334
you can eat this beef bowl set menu items

97
00:05:02,334 --> 00:05:06,804
as cheap as 580 Japanese yen,
which is less than $5 USD.

98
00:05:06,804 --> 00:05:10,432
Sukiya also has the sukiyaki 
set menu items.

99
00:05:10,432 --> 00:05:14,960
If you spend $6 USD, 
which is 890 Japanese yen,

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,247
you can eat sukiyaki set menu items.

101
00:05:18,247 --> 00:05:21,556
My recommendation is their cheese gyudon,

102
00:05:21,556 --> 00:05:23,846
which is the beef bowl with cheese.

103
00:05:23,846 --> 00:05:25,275
It comes with Tabasco.

104
00:05:25,275 --> 00:05:29,397
So, if you like something spicy, 
you can always eat with Tabasco.

105
00:05:29,397 --> 00:05:34,048
Tastes like, you know, pizza 
mixed with beef bowl.

106
00:05:34,048 --> 00:05:37,736
If you like the pizza taste,
probably, you will like it.

107
00:05:37,736 --> 00:05:40,501
Price is only 620 Japanese yen.

108
00:05:40,501 --> 00:05:45,440
If you order it, ask them for tsuyudaku, 
which is the extra soup.

109
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,119
You can order it for free as well.

110
00:05:48,119 --> 00:05:49,059
Yes!

111
00:05:50,616 --> 00:05:55,928
Usually, those beef bowl restaurant, 
you can add extra soup for free.

112
00:05:55,928 --> 00:05:58,293
You can ask them, "Tsuyudaku de."

113
00:05:58,293 --> 00:06:01,686
Yes, it is a magical word.

114
00:06:01,686 --> 00:06:03,268
Let's keep walking.

115
00:06:03,268 --> 00:06:06,364
Well, it is not the restaurant.

116
00:06:06,364 --> 00:06:11,480
But also, IKEA... I recommend
their food as well.

117
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,090
This is not the regular IKEA.

118
00:06:14,090 --> 00:06:18,064
In the big city, they have 
a smaller version.

119
00:06:18,064 --> 00:06:22,682
Still, we have dining inside,
but it's much smaller.

120
00:06:22,987 --> 00:06:24,363
Oh, wait.

121
00:06:24,363 --> 00:06:27,775
They usually sells the soft serve.

122
00:06:27,775 --> 00:06:30,552
But I think it becomes winter.

123
00:06:30,552 --> 00:06:32,840
So, I'm not sure. Let me see.

124
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:35,558
Oh, yeah. Still, they are
selling the soft serve

125
00:06:35,558 --> 00:06:38,277
with only 50 Japanese yen.

126
00:06:38,277 --> 00:06:42,816
Yes, even you don't buy any
furniture, you can still buy it.

127
00:06:42,816 --> 00:06:47,256
And also, hot dog is only 
100 Japanese yen.

128
00:06:47,256 --> 00:06:48,110
Plus...

129
00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:52,214
And also, the drink bar is 
only 190 Japanese yen.

130
00:06:52,214 --> 00:06:54,987
Place to eat, it's kind of small.

131
00:06:54,987 --> 00:06:57,724
But it's pretty cheap as well.

132
00:06:57,724 --> 00:07:00,819
They already start selling
the Christmas tree.

133
00:07:00,819 --> 00:07:03,576
Yep, the Christmas season is coming!

134
00:07:03,576 --> 00:07:04,950
Ho, ho, ho!

135
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,409
Yes! So, let's keep walking!

136
00:07:08,679 --> 00:07:14,159
After passing IKEA, Shinjuku 
Gyoen is just over there.

137
00:07:14,159 --> 00:07:19,779
Shinjuku Gyoen is a huge park 
located in center of Shinjuku.

138
00:07:19,779 --> 00:07:21,177
It's a paid park.

139
00:07:21,177 --> 00:07:25,395
So, compared to other regular 
parks, it's a bit different.

140
00:07:25,395 --> 00:07:28,476
It costs 500 Japanese yen to enter.

141
00:07:28,476 --> 00:07:33,928
However, if you are 15 years old 
and under, it will be free.

142
00:07:33,928 --> 00:07:40,394
And if you have 60 years old and over, 
it only costs 250 Japanese yen.

143
00:07:40,394 --> 00:07:42,288
So is the student.

144
00:07:42,288 --> 00:07:46,002
There are many people waiting
in front of the ticket counter.

145
00:07:46,002 --> 00:07:48,671
However, if you have a train IC card,

146
00:07:48,671 --> 00:07:52,777
you can use the train IC card, so that 
you don't have to be in line.

147
00:07:52,777 --> 00:07:58,378
I have an annual passport,
so it becomes free.

148
00:07:58,378 --> 00:08:02,128
They're selling the annual pass
for 2,000 Japanese yen.

149
00:08:02,128 --> 00:08:05,808
So, if you come more than 
4x here in a year,

150
00:08:05,808 --> 00:08:08,483
I recommend you to get the annual pass.

151
00:08:08,483 --> 00:08:10,769
One thing you have to be careful...

152
00:08:10,769 --> 00:08:12,762
Most of the park in Japan,

153
00:08:12,762 --> 00:08:16,370
it's a public place, so 
you can drink alcohol.

154
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:20,839
But this kind of paid park, 
you can't drink alcohol.

155
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,589
During autumn season,
this place changed the color.

156
00:08:24,589 --> 00:08:26,513
And it becomes beautiful.

157
00:08:26,513 --> 00:08:29,356
However, since this year, it was hot,

158
00:08:29,356 --> 00:08:32,058
so, still, they hasn't changed
the color yet.

159
00:08:32,058 --> 00:08:37,881
Some trees are changing color 
a little bit, but not that much.

160
00:08:37,881 --> 00:08:41,199
So, we can come back in the future.

161
00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:44,190
Let's go to the next spot.

162
00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:48,235
We came back to the corner of IKEA.

163
00:08:48,235 --> 00:08:51,343
We are heading to north part of Shinjuku.

164
00:08:51,343 --> 00:08:54,354
We are at Shinjuku-Sanchome Station.

165
00:08:54,354 --> 00:09:00,721
Beside this station, Suehiro Dori/
Suehiro Street will start.

166
00:09:00,721 --> 00:09:04,658
In this Suehiro Street, 
it becomes the backstreet.

167
00:09:05,078 --> 00:09:08,879
There are so many local 
drinking restaurants.

168
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:12,766
It's not like the less than 
$5 USD restaurants.

169
00:09:12,766 --> 00:09:15,966
However, compared to the 
other drinking place,

170
00:09:15,966 --> 00:09:18,097
usually, it's cheaper.

171
00:09:18,097 --> 00:09:22,738
During the nighttime, there will be so
many locals drinking around here.

172
00:09:22,738 --> 00:09:26,247
So, it will be an interesting street 
for travelers, too.

173
00:09:26,247 --> 00:09:29,611
There is a rakugo house in the backstreet.

174
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:34,207
Rakugo is a traditional 
entertainment in Japan.

175
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,508
It's a bit different.

176
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:39,930
But it's like, you know, standup
comedy in other country.

177
00:09:39,930 --> 00:09:41,683
We sit down though.

178
00:09:41,683 --> 00:09:44,499
Entrance fee costs 3,000 Japanese yen.

179
00:09:44,499 --> 00:09:49,149
But if you don't understand Japanese,
it is a verbal entertainment.

180
00:09:49,149 --> 00:09:53,265
So probably, you cannot enjoy it.

181
00:09:53,265 --> 00:09:56,632
You can enjoy the traditional
atmosphere though.

182
00:09:56,632 --> 00:09:58,505
But maybe from the outside,

183
00:09:58,505 --> 00:10:01,197
I think it's enough if you don't 
understand Japanese.

184
00:10:01,197 --> 00:10:05,627
And drinking restaurants continues.

185
00:10:05,627 --> 00:10:08,482
It's just too early time for this street.

186
00:10:08,482 --> 00:10:11,803
So, many store is closing.

187
00:10:11,803 --> 00:10:14,476
Let's go back to the main street.

188
00:10:14,476 --> 00:10:17,692
And another good and cheap
restaurant over here.

189
00:10:17,692 --> 00:10:20,746
It's a small restaurant,
but a really popular one.

190
00:10:20,746 --> 00:10:24,306
Fuji Soba opens 24 hours as well.

191
00:10:24,306 --> 00:10:28,813
Seems like they are having collab
with Ryu Ga Gotoku now.

192
00:10:28,813 --> 00:10:33,316
You can eat the cutlet curry 
with 680 Japanese yen,

193
00:10:33,316 --> 00:10:35,511
which is less than $5 USD.

194
00:10:35,511 --> 00:10:41,372
Also, the ramen, 530 Japanese yen
and 580 Japanese yen.

195
00:10:41,372 --> 00:10:45,290
Those of them even cheaper than $4 USD.

196
00:10:45,595 --> 00:10:49,497
Whenever I want to have a 
quick meal with cheaper price,

197
00:10:49,497 --> 00:10:53,788
I usually come over to 
Fuji Soba and eating soba.

198
00:10:53,788 --> 00:10:57,055
To be honest, the food quality
is not that high.

199
00:10:57,055 --> 00:11:00,047
But there are two big positive things.

200
00:11:00,047 --> 00:11:01,872
One, price is really cheap.

201
00:11:01,872 --> 00:11:05,079
And two, they serve it really quick.

202
00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:10,089
If you order soba, you know, they can
serve less than a minute.

203
00:11:10,089 --> 00:11:12,968
So, if you want to have a quick meal,

204
00:11:12,968 --> 00:11:16,494
definitely, this place is recommended.

205
00:11:16,494 --> 00:11:21,628
You can eat plain soba with 
only 420 Japanese yen.

206
00:11:21,628 --> 00:11:23,608
So, let's go to the next spot.

207
00:11:23,608 --> 00:11:24,891
By the way...

208
00:11:24,891 --> 00:11:26,948
There is another Fuji Soba.

209
00:11:26,948 --> 00:11:29,986
Yes, there are so many Fuji Soba in Tokyo.

210
00:11:29,986 --> 00:11:34,127
Now, we are at one of the
main street of Shinjuku.

211
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:39,382
If we keep straight, we enter 
to the Kabukicho.

212
00:11:39,382 --> 00:11:44,491
Beside this street, there is a shrine, 
Hanazono Jinja.

213
00:11:44,961 --> 00:11:47,731
It's located in Shinjuku.

214
00:11:47,731 --> 00:11:53,875
Right next to the Shinjuku-Sanchome 
Golden Gai/Golden Street.

215
00:11:53,875 --> 00:11:58,215
Golden Street is very interesting
spot to visit.

216
00:11:58,215 --> 00:12:02,813
But also, this Hanazono Shrine, 
during the festival time,

217
00:12:02,813 --> 00:12:05,834
it becomes really interesting as well.

218
00:12:05,834 --> 00:12:08,818
So, don't forget to visit here, too.

219
00:12:08,818 --> 00:12:11,868
All right, so let's go back
to the main street.

220
00:12:13,768 --> 00:12:15,954
Next to the shine,

221
00:12:15,954 --> 00:12:19,772
there is one of my favorite 
restaurants, Bikkuri Donkey,

222
00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:22,276
which is a hamburg steak 
chain restaurant.

223
00:12:22,276 --> 00:12:26,418
Compared to less than $5 USD
restaurants, it's a bit expensive.

224
00:12:26,418 --> 00:12:28,819
However, if you like hamburg steak,

225
00:12:28,819 --> 00:12:33,284
and also, ready to spend money
a little bit more,

226
00:12:33,284 --> 00:12:38,212
definitely, this Bikkuri Donkey 
restaurant, I recommend.

227
00:12:38,212 --> 00:12:42,795
When you see this corner,
you can just turn right.

228
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:45,927
The Golden Street entrance is
just over there.

229
00:12:45,927 --> 00:12:49,883
In this street, there are many 
tiny drinking restaurants.

230
00:12:49,883 --> 00:12:54,321
So, for travelers, it is very,
very interesting spot.

231
00:12:54,321 --> 00:12:55,980
Now, it's very quiet.

232
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:58,809
However, when it becomes nighttime,

233
00:12:58,809 --> 00:13:02,274
this place becomes so many people.

234
00:13:02,274 --> 00:13:05,491
Maybe not visiting here with kids.

235
00:13:05,491 --> 00:13:10,405
But one of the interesting spot
in Shinjuku like Kabukicho.

236
00:13:10,405 --> 00:13:13,655
That street called Golden Gai.

237
00:13:13,655 --> 00:13:20,587
"Gai" means usually "town." But in 
that case, it means "street."

238
00:13:21,337 --> 00:13:26,968
And here, another less than 
$5 restaurant, Saizeriya.

239
00:13:27,178 --> 00:13:30,180
It's a Japanese Italian restaurant.

240
00:13:30,180 --> 00:13:34,675
Their doria with meat sauce,
only 300 Japanese yen.

241
00:13:34,675 --> 00:13:39,445
And the small regular pizza,
it's 400 Japanese yen.

242
00:13:39,445 --> 00:13:44,397
To be honest, if you just only order
this doria, it's not enough.

243
00:13:44,397 --> 00:13:49,938
But if you order even this doria and 
pizza, 700 Japanese yen.

244
00:13:49,938 --> 00:13:52,865
So, it's almost $5 USD.

245
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:55,402
They have pasta, too.

246
00:13:55,402 --> 00:14:01,341
This shrimp with spicy cod roe 
sauce, 540 Japanese yen.

247
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:06,656
And mushroom with spinach cream
sauce, 600 Japanese yen.

248
00:14:06,656 --> 00:14:11,038
They also have hamburg steak,
only 400 Japanese yen.

249
00:14:11,038 --> 00:14:15,218
Of course, compared to the Bikkuri 
Donkey quality, it's different.

250
00:14:15,218 --> 00:14:18,294
However, the price is 
totally different, too.

251
00:14:18,294 --> 00:14:20,954
One thing you have to be careful,

252
00:14:20,954 --> 00:14:23,525
since it's pretty good and cheap,

253
00:14:23,525 --> 00:14:26,628
so always crowded and noisy,

254
00:14:26,628 --> 00:14:30,314
especially in this Shinjuku
Station's place.

255
00:14:30,314 --> 00:14:33,306
So, if you want to eat quietly,

256
00:14:33,306 --> 00:14:36,021
definitely, this is not the place 
to come though.

257
00:14:36,021 --> 00:14:38,273
But it's the chain restaurant.

258
00:14:38,273 --> 00:14:40,435
If you visit in the quiet town,

259
00:14:40,435 --> 00:14:44,816
some Saizeriya much fewer people, 
and also, quiet as well.

260
00:14:44,816 --> 00:14:47,630
So, in that place, I recommend.

261
00:14:48,028 --> 00:14:51,304
But maybe not in the 
crowded place though.

262
00:14:51,304 --> 00:14:56,452
Now, we are getting closer to the
entrance of Kabukicho Godzilla Street.

263
00:14:56,452 --> 00:14:59,911
So, there are more and more 
people on the street.

264
00:14:59,911 --> 00:15:02,263
Don Quijote is over here.

265
00:15:02,263 --> 00:15:06,337
After turn right on this corner,
there's Kabukicho.

266
00:15:06,936 --> 00:15:07,973
Here we go.

267
00:15:07,973 --> 00:15:11,490
We are at Godzilla Central Street.

268
00:15:11,871 --> 00:15:15,865
There is a good and cheap
restaurant in Kabukicho, too.

269
00:15:15,865 --> 00:15:17,997
Let me introduce.

270
00:15:18,397 --> 00:15:19,371
Oh, wait.

271
00:15:19,371 --> 00:15:21,710
This Don Quijote...

272
00:15:21,710 --> 00:15:25,098
They now have the new claw machines, huh.

273
00:15:25,098 --> 00:15:27,077
I didn't know that.

274
00:15:27,077 --> 00:15:29,849
Oh my goodness, that's so cute!

275
00:15:29,849 --> 00:15:32,334
So many Donpen mascot!

276
00:15:32,618 --> 00:15:36,355
It's the character of Don Quijote.

277
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:38,793
Oh, look at this one!

278
00:15:38,793 --> 00:15:41,032
We can place the eye drops.

279
00:15:41,032 --> 00:15:45,040
You know, since I always mistakenly
wash my eye drops

280
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,525
at the washing machine.

281
00:15:46,525 --> 00:15:48,672
So, let's try it.

282
00:15:48,672 --> 00:15:51,931
Seems like that blue one, we can get it.

283
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,934
Price is 100 Japanese yen for one time.

284
00:15:55,934 --> 00:15:57,396
Let's do it!

285
00:15:57,676 --> 00:16:00,370
Yep, seems like it's an easy job.

286
00:16:00,370 --> 00:16:03,684
All right... 3, 2, 1, let's go!

287
00:16:03,684 --> 00:16:05,984
[GASPS] I think it's perfect!

288
00:16:05,984 --> 00:16:06,702
Can we?

289
00:16:06,702 --> 00:16:09,163
Nooooo...

290
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:12,165
I need to break the coin.

291
00:16:12,165 --> 00:16:14,220
Well, I tried to break the coin.

292
00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:16,676
But there is no coin breaking machine.

293
00:16:16,676 --> 00:16:19,857
And there is a long line 
in front of the cashier.

294
00:16:19,857 --> 00:16:22,635
So, maybe next time we can try.

295
00:16:22,635 --> 00:16:25,437
It's okay. Let's keep walking.

296
00:16:25,437 --> 00:16:29,845
Oh, wait. Seems like the 
Godzilla show just started.

297
00:16:29,845 --> 00:16:31,928
[CHUCKLES]

298
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:35,856
Yep, there is a Godzilla show 
once in a while.

299
00:16:35,856 --> 00:16:39,716
It's fun to watch, however, 
it's a small show.

300
00:16:39,716 --> 00:16:43,583
So, maybe, you know, you don't 
have to wait that long.

301
00:16:43,583 --> 00:16:49,410
If you find that show is on,
you can enjoy it.

302
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,290
But not like the super 
entertaining show though.

303
00:16:53,290 --> 00:16:56,882
So, the next spot is Ringer Hut.

304
00:16:56,882 --> 00:17:01,983
It's a Nagasaki champon, 
noodle with so many veggies.

305
00:17:01,983 --> 00:17:06,868
Price is 800 Japanese yen,
so it's a bit more than $5 USD.

306
00:17:06,868 --> 00:17:10,037
But it's my favorite restaurant, too.

307
00:17:10,037 --> 00:17:13,233
I especially like this sara udon.

308
00:17:13,233 --> 00:17:17,153
There is crispy noodle and
so many veggies on top.

309
00:17:17,153 --> 00:17:19,336
Price is 850 Japanese yen.

310
00:17:19,336 --> 00:17:20,957
It's the chain restaurant.

311
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:23,391
You can find in many places.

312
00:17:23,391 --> 00:17:25,530
Yep, one of my favorite restaurant.

313
00:17:25,530 --> 00:17:28,753
Next to Ringer Hut, there is Gindako.

314
00:17:28,753 --> 00:17:33,176
The regular takoyaki is 580 Japanese yen.

315
00:17:33,176 --> 00:17:34,835
It's pretty good, too.

316
00:17:34,835 --> 00:17:38,394
Compared to Osaka takoyaki, 
it's a little bit crispy.

317
00:17:38,394 --> 00:17:42,390
A bit different, but it 
tastes pretty good, too.

318
00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:45,721
Now, we are at Toyoko.

319
00:17:45,721 --> 00:17:49,802
Kabukicho Tower is just over there.

320
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:53,075
This place used to be 
a very chaotic place.

321
00:17:53,075 --> 00:17:55,686
But now, it becomes much cleaner.

322
00:17:55,866 --> 00:17:58,820
Let's walk to the Kabukicho Tower.

323
00:17:59,379 --> 00:18:01,106
Since it's a weekday,

324
00:18:01,106 --> 00:18:03,959
and there are not that many
people on the street,

325
00:18:03,959 --> 00:18:09,014
so probably, Kabukicho Tower,
really few people inside, I believe.

326
00:18:09,014 --> 00:18:12,717
There's a Starbucks in front 
of Kabukicho Tower.

327
00:18:12,717 --> 00:18:16,534
Usually, many people sitting 
down over here

328
00:18:16,534 --> 00:18:18,252
and drinking Starbucks.

329
00:18:18,252 --> 00:18:23,080
But today, not that many people 
over here though.

330
00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:26,965
It getting cold, so maybe 
that's the reason why.

331
00:18:26,965 --> 00:18:32,882
In the warm day, it was a perfect spot 
to take a rest though.

332
00:18:33,252 --> 00:18:37,625
They usually have many different 
kinds of event on the weekend.

333
00:18:37,625 --> 00:18:40,910
But today, since it's a weekday,

334
00:18:40,910 --> 00:18:44,095
probably, no event is going on.

335
00:18:44,095 --> 00:18:48,447
Oh, actually, there are more 
people than I thought.

336
00:18:48,447 --> 00:18:51,763
When I come over here during September,

337
00:18:51,763 --> 00:18:53,483
there were really fewer people.

338
00:18:53,483 --> 00:18:57,263
But seems like today, still,
there are travelers over here.

339
00:18:57,263 --> 00:18:58,907
Even on the weekday.

340
00:18:58,907 --> 00:19:01,897
How about in the second floor?

341
00:19:03,563 --> 00:19:09,806
In the second floor, there is 
a nice game center.

342
00:19:09,806 --> 00:19:13,110
So many claw machines with games.

343
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:16,152
Since we don't have a casino in Japan,

344
00:19:16,152 --> 00:19:21,586
so this game center is like the, you
know, casino entertainment spot.

345
00:19:22,276 --> 00:19:25,402
Oh, wait. Now, it becomes Pokémon.

346
00:19:25,402 --> 00:19:28,898
And also, Dragon Ball Shenron.

347
00:19:29,088 --> 00:19:30,354
Really?

348
00:19:30,354 --> 00:19:35,957
And also, price gets cheaper,
180 Japanese yen for a play.

349
00:19:35,957 --> 00:19:40,308
We can play it with train IC card.

350
00:19:40,308 --> 00:19:41,778
Let's do it!

351
00:19:45,248 --> 00:19:46,384
So there is a button.

352
00:19:46,384 --> 00:19:49,732
I just need to hold, and 
there's the scissors.

353
00:19:49,732 --> 00:19:53,096
If I cut the line over there, I win.

354
00:19:53,096 --> 00:19:54,225
So, let's do it!

355
00:19:54,225 --> 00:19:57,129
Hope I can do better this time.

356
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:57,715
Hai!

357
00:19:57,935 --> 00:19:59,216
How about it?

358
00:19:59,442 --> 00:20:01,958
Nooooo...

359
00:20:03,453 --> 00:20:04,964
[LAUGHS]

360
00:20:06,464 --> 00:20:08,153
My Shenron!

361
00:20:08,322 --> 00:20:11,731
Well, claw machine, sometimes
I win when I'm lucky.

362
00:20:11,731 --> 00:20:16,045
But this line cut machine,
I can never win.

363
00:20:16,045 --> 00:20:17,182
So...

364
00:20:17,862 --> 00:20:20,781
Maybe next time, and one day, 
maybe I can win.

365
00:20:20,781 --> 00:20:22,530
Oh, Nika is here.

366
00:20:22,530 --> 00:20:25,615
But this kind of claw machine
is so hard to win.

367
00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:27,799
So... Maybe next time.

368
00:20:28,109 --> 00:20:30,464
Ooh, the Joker here.

369
00:20:30,464 --> 00:20:33,061
Time for the Joker dance.

370
00:20:33,061 --> 00:20:39,349
There is a VR Godzilla ride, but seems 
like it's not that busy today.

371
00:20:40,869 --> 00:20:45,094
There is drinking bar at the corner.

372
00:20:45,514 --> 00:20:49,554
Now, we have more Taiko no
Tatsujin over here.

373
00:20:49,554 --> 00:20:52,812
And also, the new machine.

374
00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:56,440
I believe that's a shooting game.

375
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,640
And chair will move.

376
00:21:00,770 --> 00:21:03,527
Haha, that must be a fun game.

377
00:21:03,527 --> 00:21:08,133
And so many different kinds 
of racing game over here.

378
00:21:09,373 --> 00:21:10,173
Nice.

379
00:21:10,541 --> 00:21:13,230
Let's go to the next spot.

380
00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:18,181
So the next spot, it's right in 
front of Kabukicho Tower.

381
00:21:18,421 --> 00:21:20,340
It's Hidakaya.

382
00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:23,500
Oh, their motsu yasai ramen is back.

383
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:27,992
It's a little bit spicy ramen.
It's intestine inside.

384
00:21:27,992 --> 00:21:32,245
Price is 673 Japanese yen. Almost $5 USD.

385
00:21:32,245 --> 00:21:36,322
If you order the fried rice,
it's only 464.

386
00:21:36,562 --> 00:21:40,490
And tenshinhan (crab omelette
rice), 528 Japanese yen.

387
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:43,815
Motsu yasai ramen... It's a limited one.

388
00:21:43,815 --> 00:21:46,787
Why not? Let's try.

389
00:21:47,857 --> 00:21:50,110
So, let's sit down in the corner.

390
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:53,045
We can order by the panel.

391
00:21:53,230 --> 00:21:54,050
One...

392
00:21:57,435 --> 00:21:59,780
And ramen.

393
00:21:59,780 --> 00:22:01,860
Motsu yasai ramen...

394
00:22:02,379 --> 00:22:04,158
"Ki kan gen tei." Limited.

395
00:22:04,158 --> 00:22:06,127
Oh, yeah. Here we go.

396
00:22:06,127 --> 00:22:09,079
Motsu yasai ramen, 740 Japanese yen.

397
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:11,300
With gyoza, 990.

398
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,530
And han chahan (half fried rice), 990.

399
00:22:14,530 --> 00:22:17,080
Yeah, let's eat with chahan.

400
00:22:18,050 --> 00:22:19,495
Futsu-mori. 
(Regular portion.)

401
00:22:25,090 --> 00:22:26,357
Perfect.

402
00:22:26,687 --> 00:22:28,993
On the table, there are many seasonings,

403
00:22:28,993 --> 00:22:31,715
so you can always change the taste, too.

404
00:22:31,715 --> 00:22:34,334
Beer is only 350 Japanese yen, too.

405
00:22:34,334 --> 00:22:37,468
Why not? Let's kanpai!

406
00:22:39,274 --> 00:22:41,356
Here we go! It arrives.

407
00:22:41,356 --> 00:22:44,420
So, this is a spicy intestine ramen.

408
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:48,340
And also, fried rice, chahan.

409
00:22:48,340 --> 00:22:52,239
All right, here we go. 
The beer has arrived, too, so...

410
00:22:52,239 --> 00:22:53,346
Let's eat!

411
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:55,760
And also...

412
00:23:03,522 --> 00:23:06,748
It [tastes] much spicer than 
how it looks like.

413
00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:09,954
That's something what I remember.

414
00:23:09,954 --> 00:23:12,117
The noodle itself is okay.

415
00:23:12,117 --> 00:23:15,145
However, with this noodle soup,

416
00:23:15,145 --> 00:23:19,608
mixed with this chahan, 
fried rice, it's perfect.

417
00:23:19,608 --> 00:23:21,603
That's something what I love.

418
00:23:21,603 --> 00:23:23,223
So, if you order this,

419
00:23:23,223 --> 00:23:26,109
I recommend you to order 
with the fried rice though.

420
00:23:31,041 --> 00:23:32,321
[WHISPERS] It's spicy!

421
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,114
Well, compared to Ichiran, the 
quality is, of course, different.

422
00:23:44,114 --> 00:23:47,571
However, thinking about the price, yeah...

423
00:23:47,770 --> 00:23:48,755
I like it.

424
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:54,952
Spicy.

425
00:23:55,186 --> 00:23:57,907
This spicy noodle is okay.

426
00:23:57,907 --> 00:23:59,285
But, yeah...

427
00:23:59,285 --> 00:24:03,922
One thing that I love is 
mix this soup...

428
00:24:07,042 --> 00:24:10,469
...eat the fried rice with intestine.

429
00:24:31,554 --> 00:24:32,434
Spicy.

430
00:24:39,159 --> 00:24:40,676
Speaking of the intestine...

431
00:24:40,676 --> 00:24:43,113
Usually, intestine has an organ smell.

432
00:24:43,113 --> 00:24:47,076
However, inside this noodle, 
it doesn't taste smelly at all.

433
00:24:47,076 --> 00:24:51,026
So, the intestine with the organ smell,
I don't really like it.

434
00:24:51,026 --> 00:24:55,792
But without organ smell, 
this chewy intestine, lovin' it.

435
00:24:56,952 --> 00:24:59,405
Especially, perfect with beer.

436
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:04,727
Price was 1,340 Japanese yen.

437
00:25:04,727 --> 00:25:08,643
To be honest, if you just ate the 
chahan, which is the fried rice,

438
00:25:08,643 --> 00:25:10,999
or dumpling, gyoza,

439
00:25:10,999 --> 00:25:15,599
I recommend you to try Osho, 
which is a different chain restaurant.

440
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:20,239
However, that spicy intestine
ramen with fried rice,

441
00:25:20,239 --> 00:25:23,597
definitely, I recommend. 
It's spicy though.

442
00:25:23,597 --> 00:25:26,108
If you love intestine, which is motsu,

443
00:25:26,108 --> 00:25:27,914
definitely, you can try.

444
00:25:27,914 --> 00:25:31,715
By the way, "intestine" in Japanese
called "motsu."

445
00:25:31,715 --> 00:25:33,305
Yes, you got it.

446
00:25:33,305 --> 00:25:36,778
So, now, let's go to the next spot.

447
00:25:36,778 --> 00:25:39,417
We are in front of Yunika Vision.

448
00:25:39,417 --> 00:25:43,030
This is one of the signature spot
in Shinjuku.

449
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:47,520
We are heading to the 
underground in Subnade.

450
00:25:50,257 --> 00:25:52,916
You can just going downstairs.

451
00:25:52,916 --> 00:25:58,492
By the way, this is the place in front 
of Kabukicho Ichibangai's entrance.

452
00:25:58,492 --> 00:26:02,541
Oh my goodness... 
It's so crowded as always.

453
00:26:02,541 --> 00:26:04,763
It's one of the picture spot.

454
00:26:04,763 --> 00:26:09,973
But also, it's a small street,
so that's why.

455
00:26:09,973 --> 00:26:14,570
So, let's going down to 
the underground town.

456
00:26:16,509 --> 00:26:19,570
In the underground, it is the Subnade.

457
00:26:19,570 --> 00:26:22,852
There are several restaurants
that I recommend.

458
00:26:22,985 --> 00:26:29,198
The first one, it's Tonkatsu Wako.
Deep fried pork cutlet.

459
00:26:29,198 --> 00:26:33,518
Speaking of the price,
it's more than $5 USD.

460
00:26:33,518 --> 00:26:37,757
However, thinking about the quality, 
definitely, it's worth it.

461
00:26:37,757 --> 00:26:43,858
For example, this dish comes with menchi 
katsu, deep fried shrimp, eggplant...

462
00:26:43,858 --> 00:26:46,329
And also, the pork cutlet.

463
00:26:46,329 --> 00:26:49,684
Chawanmushi, which is a 
Japanese style pudding.

464
00:26:49,684 --> 00:26:54,562
Pickled veggie, sweets, rice,
and miso soup.

465
00:26:54,562 --> 00:26:58,761
Rice, and miso soup, and cabbage—
all you can eat.

466
00:26:58,761 --> 00:27:02,033
Price is only 1,680 Japanese yen.

467
00:27:02,033 --> 00:27:09,809
This big pork cutlet with radish, daikon 
oroshi, 1,980 Japanese yen, too.

468
00:27:09,809 --> 00:27:13,254
Compared to the fast food restaurant,
food quality is different.

469
00:27:13,254 --> 00:27:18,693
So, thinking about the price and quality, 
I definitely recommend this restaurant.

470
00:27:18,693 --> 00:27:22,700
Also, behind that restaurant...

471
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:26,570
There is Negishi, which is a 
beef tongue restaurant.

472
00:27:26,570 --> 00:27:30,885
Set menu items is about 
1,500 to 2,000 Japanese yen.

473
00:27:30,885 --> 00:27:34,482
However, the quality is pretty good, too.

474
00:27:34,722 --> 00:27:36,745
The rice is a bit different.

475
00:27:36,745 --> 00:27:40,094
It's mugi meshi, barley rice.

476
00:27:40,094 --> 00:27:44,520
Comes with yam, so you can 
mix this yam with this rice.

477
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,940
Tastes pretty good.

478
00:27:45,940 --> 00:27:47,293
It's healthy, too.

479
00:27:47,293 --> 00:27:51,329
So, if you like beef tongue, I recommend
this restaurant as well.

480
00:27:51,329 --> 00:27:53,955
Let's go to the upstairs.

481
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:59,919
Already, outside gets pretty dark.

482
00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:03,341
We are heading to west part
of Shinjuku now.

483
00:28:03,341 --> 00:28:04,350
Haha...

484
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:09,910
Yup, this spot, also, so 
iconic spot of Shinjuku.

485
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,090
After cross this train track,
next spot is over there.

486
00:28:14,090 --> 00:28:17,965
So, the next restaurant is Matsuya.

487
00:28:17,965 --> 00:28:22,922
It's also one of the really popular 
beef bowl restaurants.

488
00:28:22,922 --> 00:28:25,931
Beef bowl is only 430 Japanese yen.

489
00:28:25,931 --> 00:28:29,130
If you eat inside, it comes 
with miso soup.

490
00:28:29,130 --> 00:28:33,205
But my recommendation is curry.

491
00:28:33,205 --> 00:28:38,242
Thinking about it's beef bowl restaurant, 
their curry tastes pretty good.

492
00:28:38,462 --> 00:28:40,928
And so is the hamburger steak.

493
00:28:40,928 --> 00:28:44,385
So, this hamburger steak curry,
I recommend.

494
00:28:44,385 --> 00:28:47,712
Recently, they serve the
beef bowl with cheese.

495
00:28:47,712 --> 00:28:52,371
However, I think Sukiya is better.

496
00:28:52,371 --> 00:28:56,821
So, if you want to eat the beef bowl
with cheese, just go to Sukiya.

497
00:28:56,821 --> 00:28:58,343
It's just different.

498
00:28:58,343 --> 00:29:05,291
Next to Matsuya, there is Omoide Street, 
which is a really popular touristic spot.

499
00:29:05,291 --> 00:29:08,324
Nice retro street continues.

500
00:29:08,324 --> 00:29:10,932
But compared to the backstreet,

501
00:29:10,932 --> 00:29:16,295
this Omoide Yokocho is more like, 
you know, spot for travelers.

502
00:29:16,295 --> 00:29:18,992
So, the atmosphere is a 
bit different though.

503
00:29:18,992 --> 00:29:24,291
Next to Omoide Yokocho, there are
many discounted ticket store.

504
00:29:24,291 --> 00:29:27,895
I had the question, 
where to change the currency?

505
00:29:27,895 --> 00:29:30,067
Well, definitely, it's not the airport.

506
00:29:30,067 --> 00:29:33,095
Because, usually, their commission fee
is more expensive.

507
00:29:33,095 --> 00:29:37,787
Usually, those discounted ticket store
has the better exchange rate.

508
00:29:37,787 --> 00:29:42,314
So, if you find those discounted 
ticket store, you can change.

509
00:29:42,314 --> 00:29:45,574
They usually accept most
of the major currency.

510
00:29:45,574 --> 00:29:48,441
So, maybe you can try to check their rate.

511
00:29:48,441 --> 00:29:53,380
Most of the place have better rate 
compared to the airport.

512
00:29:53,380 --> 00:29:57,280
It gets darker, so more and 
more people on the street.

513
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,824
Now, we at west part of Shinjuku.

514
00:30:00,824 --> 00:30:04,202
They are renewing the 
west part of Shinjuku.

515
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:07,365
Now, still, the street is super packed.

516
00:30:07,365 --> 00:30:10,273
But after renewed it,
it will be much better.

517
00:30:10,273 --> 00:30:13,516
They are building the new street on top.

518
00:30:13,516 --> 00:30:18,354
And now, we can see the complete
street over here, too.

519
00:30:18,354 --> 00:30:22,799
That street continues to 
the Shinjuku Station.

520
00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:25,176
After they finish the construction,

521
00:30:25,176 --> 00:30:30,671
this west side of Shinjuku will be really
spacy spot for the pedestrians.

522
00:30:31,078 --> 00:30:36,480
It will be totally different,
so I really look forward to it.

523
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:38,885
Sweet.

524
00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:42,498
I have two more restaurants 
that I want to introduce

525
00:30:42,498 --> 00:30:45,286
in west part of Shinjuku.

526
00:30:45,286 --> 00:30:50,536
Compared to north part of Shinjuku, 
west part of Shinjuku, more quiet.

527
00:30:50,536 --> 00:30:54,448
In west part of Shinjuku, 
there is a Yodobashi Camera,

528
00:30:54,448 --> 00:30:58,757
which is the really popular electric 
appliance store in Japan.

529
00:30:58,757 --> 00:31:04,778
In front of Yodobashi Camera, there are
so many gachapon machines.

530
00:31:05,308 --> 00:31:10,511
If you love gachapon, yes, this is 
a place that you can come.

531
00:31:10,511 --> 00:31:13,785
So, the restaurant is behind this street.

532
00:31:13,785 --> 00:31:17,587
It's the street on Gigo Game Center.

533
00:31:18,367 --> 00:31:22,781
There are so many salarymen works
in Shinjuku west side.

534
00:31:22,781 --> 00:31:26,730
So, there are so many drinking place
as well in this street.

535
00:31:26,730 --> 00:31:30,494
Wait, supposed to be around here.

536
00:31:31,414 --> 00:31:32,526
Let me see.

537
00:31:32,526 --> 00:31:35,518
Oh, sorry, it's the next street.

538
00:31:35,518 --> 00:31:38,815
Oh, yeah, supposed to be
the street next to it.

539
00:31:38,815 --> 00:31:41,804
So, we need to turn right on that corner.

540
00:31:41,804 --> 00:31:44,002
Oh, there's another Hidakaya.

541
00:31:44,002 --> 00:31:46,399
And yeah, must be here.

542
00:31:47,379 --> 00:31:49,600
All right, here we go. This is the place.

543
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,389
So, this place called Shinpachi Shokudo.

544
00:31:52,389 --> 00:31:55,948
They have nice Japanese food with fish.

545
00:31:55,948 --> 00:31:59,285
All the fish comes with rice 
and miso soup.

546
00:31:59,285 --> 00:32:03,110
Thinking about the quality and price,
one of the best.

547
00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:04,299
And the best point:

548
00:32:04,299 --> 00:32:10,323
If you order teishoku, you can order 
the beer with 150 Japanese yen.

549
00:32:10,323 --> 00:32:13,751
For the second one,
also 150 Japanese yen, too.

550
00:32:13,751 --> 00:32:20,552
My recommendation is salmon hara teishoku,
salmon belly teishoku.

551
00:32:20,552 --> 00:32:22,836
Comes with rice and miso soup.

552
00:32:22,836 --> 00:32:24,851
Order with beer.

553
00:32:24,851 --> 00:32:30,954
Yep. That would be the perfect menu 
if you want to eat the lunch by yourself.

554
00:32:30,954 --> 00:32:32,805
Speaking of Shinpachi Shokudo,

555
00:32:32,805 --> 00:32:34,571
recently, it gets really popular.

556
00:32:34,571 --> 00:32:37,855
And we have so many Shinpachi 
Shokudo in many places.

557
00:32:37,855 --> 00:32:39,914
Even in Shinjuku, too.

558
00:32:39,914 --> 00:32:41,578
In other stations as well.

559
00:32:41,578 --> 00:32:47,529
So, if you like the grilled fish 
teishoku, definitely, I recommend.

560
00:32:47,529 --> 00:32:49,726
Especially, if you drink beer.

561
00:32:49,726 --> 00:32:55,527
Thinking about the price, eventually, 
it become cheaper, so... Good place.

562
00:32:55,527 --> 00:32:58,386
And the next spot is just over there.

563
00:32:58,386 --> 00:33:00,622
Yes! It's right over there.

564
00:33:00,622 --> 00:33:03,770
It's the tonkatsu restaurant, Katsuya.

565
00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:07,206
Their cutlet bowl is only 
590 Japanese yen.

566
00:33:07,206 --> 00:33:12,543
However, I recommend the katsu curry, 
which is the curry with pork cutlet.

567
00:33:12,543 --> 00:33:15,701
It only costs 730 Japanese yen.

568
00:33:15,701 --> 00:33:20,197
Compared to Wako, which is that 
expensive pork cutlet restaurant,

569
00:33:20,197 --> 00:33:21,944
Of course, the quality is different.

570
00:33:21,944 --> 00:33:25,952
However, thinking about the price,
definitely, I recommend.

571
00:33:25,952 --> 00:33:30,955
For me, whenever I want eat quietly 
with my friend in the restaurant,

572
00:33:30,955 --> 00:33:32,594
I always use Wako.

573
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:36,736
But whenever I make the 
to-go food for the pork cutlet,

574
00:33:36,736 --> 00:33:40,432
I use Katsuya, especially
for the cutlet curry.

575
00:33:40,432 --> 00:33:43,568
If you want to save money and 
you want to make it to-go,

576
00:33:43,568 --> 00:33:46,917
maybe you want to bring back to 
the hotel because you are tired,

577
00:33:46,917 --> 00:33:49,391
maybe you can use this Katsuya to-go.

578
00:33:49,391 --> 00:33:52,035
Yes, definitely, I recommend.

579
00:33:52,035 --> 00:33:56,427
So, we are almost at south exit 
of Shinjuku Station.

580
00:33:56,427 --> 00:33:58,640
It's almost the rush hour time,

581
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,733
so this Shinjuku Station is 
getting crowded as always.

582
00:34:04,733 --> 00:34:08,697
Usually, in the street, there are 
many street performers.

583
00:34:08,697 --> 00:34:12,828
But seems like, still,
no one has started yet.

584
00:34:12,828 --> 00:34:15,883
This is the South Gate
of Shinjuku Station.

585
00:34:15,883 --> 00:34:20,355
We were at the New South Gate 
of Shinjuku Station.

586
00:34:20,355 --> 00:34:23,046
It is different, so just be careful.

587
00:34:23,046 --> 00:34:24,973
South Gate is over there .

588
00:34:24,973 --> 00:34:29,146
But New South Gate is over there.

589
00:34:31,166 --> 00:34:34,758
The Penguin Square is just
behind this building.

590
00:34:34,758 --> 00:34:37,341
We came back to this square.

591
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:40,970
This is the place we started filming.

592
00:34:40,970 --> 00:34:46,993
And this is the Shinjuku Station 
Shin-Minamiguchi, New South Gate.

593
00:34:46,993 --> 00:34:51,526
Yes, New South Gate and the 
South Gate is a different place.

594
00:34:51,526 --> 00:34:54,834
It's a bit confusing,
but please be careful

595
00:34:54,834 --> 00:34:59,543
if you are visiting this Penguin Square.

596
00:35:00,513 --> 00:35:03,545
Outside gets pretty dark now.

597
00:35:03,545 --> 00:35:08,532
We can see the beautiful spot 
of Shinjuku town from here.

598
00:35:08,532 --> 00:35:11,061
Compared to north part of Shinjuku,

599
00:35:11,061 --> 00:35:14,957
the south part of Shinjuku, more quiet.

600
00:35:14,957 --> 00:35:17,573
So, I like here.

601
00:35:18,233 --> 00:35:22,640
Also, the night scenery is beautiful, too.

602
00:35:24,229 --> 00:35:25,617
As you may realize,

603
00:35:25,617 --> 00:35:30,806
there are so many foods that you can 
eat less than 500 Japanese yen, too.

604
00:35:30,806 --> 00:35:33,077
Speaking of Japanese yen situation,

605
00:35:33,077 --> 00:35:38,688
as of 6th of November, I think it's 
because of the election of United States,

606
00:35:38,688 --> 00:35:42,814
right now, it's about $1 USD is 
154 Japanese yen.

607
00:35:42,814 --> 00:35:46,229
Yes, Japanese yen gets cheaper,
and I'm happy.

608
00:35:46,229 --> 00:35:49,024
But of course, there are really depends.

609
00:35:49,024 --> 00:35:54,341
Some industry will have the negative 
impact if Japanese yen is cheaper.

610
00:35:54,341 --> 00:36:00,322
But as you may realize, Japanese food 
and stuff right now, it's really cheap.

611
00:36:00,322 --> 00:36:04,187
Well, some travelers says 
it's ridiculously cheap.

612
00:36:04,187 --> 00:36:05,357
It's a good thing.

613
00:36:05,357 --> 00:36:09,224
But at the same time,
we have to think about it...

614
00:36:09,224 --> 00:36:14,994
if the food is cheap, that means there 
are so many people working for it

615
00:36:14,994 --> 00:36:17,422
with very thin profit.

616
00:36:17,422 --> 00:36:22,861
Because of the cultural thing in Japan, 
the inflation didn't come to Japan.

617
00:36:22,861 --> 00:36:26,770
So many other countries' price 
gets increased.

618
00:36:26,770 --> 00:36:29,257
But in Japan, just tiny.

619
00:36:29,257 --> 00:36:31,159
Well, it can be a good thing.

620
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:33,753
But one serious problem is that

621
00:36:33,753 --> 00:36:38,526
our average salary is not 
increasing neither.

622
00:36:38,526 --> 00:36:41,011
Well, you know, because the food 
doesn't increase,

623
00:36:41,011 --> 00:36:43,297
so the salary doesn't increase neither.

624
00:36:43,297 --> 00:36:45,998
But after Japanese yen get cheaper,

625
00:36:45,998 --> 00:36:50,339
finally, there are some inflations 
coming to Japan.

626
00:36:50,339 --> 00:36:52,981
Well, so I'm not sure if 
you remember or not.

627
00:36:52,981 --> 00:36:56,995
But whenever I talk about 
the inflation in Japan,

628
00:36:56,995 --> 00:36:59,359
I was a little bit happy to hear that.

629
00:36:59,359 --> 00:37:03,919
Of course, you know, if I can eat the
food with cheap price, it's good.

630
00:37:03,919 --> 00:37:06,369
But thinking about Japanese economy

631
00:37:06,369 --> 00:37:10,204
and the behind the people 
working for the thin profit,

632
00:37:10,204 --> 00:37:13,216
definitely, it's not that good.

633
00:37:13,216 --> 00:37:16,425
For these 20 years, compared 
to the other country,

634
00:37:16,425 --> 00:37:20,182
Japanese people's salary 
doesn't increase at all.

635
00:37:20,182 --> 00:37:24,610
Like, you know, the U.S. people's average 
salary is just climbing up.

636
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:28,284
But Japanese economy is like this.

637
00:37:28,284 --> 00:37:32,340
So, I believe and I hope 
this inflation thing,

638
00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:34,311
it's good for Japanese people.

639
00:37:34,311 --> 00:37:38,430
That's also the reason why
I'm super happy that

640
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:40,284
Japanese yen gets cheaper.

641
00:37:40,284 --> 00:37:43,637
Also, definitely, we can have 
more travelers.

642
00:37:43,637 --> 00:37:46,443
And travelers can enjoy Japan, too.

643
00:37:46,443 --> 00:37:48,006
That's also the reason.

644
00:37:48,006 --> 00:37:49,920
Well, it became a little bit longer.

645
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,260
But that's how I feel about 
Japanese yen situation.

646
00:37:53,260 --> 00:37:54,630
It's 6th of November.

647
00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:59,000
However, in the States, it's 
not 6th of November yet.

648
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,640
So, still, there is a president
election is going on.

649
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,185
I'm not sure which candidate will win.

650
00:38:05,185 --> 00:38:08,577
But hopefully, we can have 
a peaceful world.

651
00:38:08,577 --> 00:38:11,283
So that we can travel and 
enjoy the life more.

652
00:38:11,283 --> 00:38:13,071
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the video.
