00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.823
Hey guys! Today, we are in south part
of Shinjuku Station.

00:00:03.823 --> 00:00:05.903
It's a little bit cloudy today.

00:00:05.903 --> 00:00:08.854
And the weather, suddenly, 
it gets much cooler.

00:00:08.854 --> 00:00:11.078
Today, it's 6th of November.

00:00:11.078 --> 00:00:15.019
Temperature, the highest is 17°C, 
lowest is 11°C.

00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:16.910
Right now, it's 16°C.

00:00:16.910 --> 00:00:20.184
Wind is 5 m/s, 72% humidity.

00:00:20.184 --> 00:00:21.590
It might be raining.

00:00:21.590 --> 00:00:23.768
We are at the Penguin Square.

00:00:23.768 --> 00:00:27.194
South part of Shinjuku, compared 
to north part Shinjuku,

00:00:27.194 --> 00:00:29.062
it's really quiet.

00:00:29.062 --> 00:00:31.940
We can enjoy the beautiful 
train view as well.

00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:36.150
So, we will start the tour from here,
and we will come back later.

00:00:36.150 --> 00:00:37.945
Probably, it will get darker.

00:00:37.945 --> 00:00:41.719
In nighttime, this place becomes 
more beautiful.

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:42.898
So, in this video,

00:00:42.898 --> 00:00:46.401
I will introduce good and cheap 
Japanese chain restaurants,

00:00:46.401 --> 00:00:49.108
which you can eat less than $5 USD.

00:00:49.108 --> 00:00:50.794
Yes, less than $5.

00:00:50.794 --> 00:00:53.285
However, the taste is pretty good, too.

00:00:53.285 --> 00:00:55.740
Also, I will introduce the 
Shinjuku town, too.

00:00:55.740 --> 00:00:58.470
So, hope this video will help
for your next Japan trip.

00:00:58.470 --> 00:00:59.303
Oh, by the way...

00:00:59.303 --> 00:01:01.010
Hey guys! 
Welcome back to Rion's TV!

00:01:01.010 --> 00:01:03.394
I'm Rion. Seeno... Gao!!

00:01:03.394 --> 00:01:05.306
Please check my Instagram, too.

00:01:05.306 --> 00:01:09.135
All right, so let's keep walking. 
Let's go!

00:01:09.135 --> 00:01:13.747
So, the first restaurant located
in east part of Shinjuku.

00:01:13.747 --> 00:01:15.685
Let's keep walking.

00:01:15.685 --> 00:01:16.569
By the way...

00:01:16.569 --> 00:01:20.381
If you're using the express bus
or airport express bus,

00:01:20.381 --> 00:01:23.667
Busta Shinjuku locates over here.

00:01:23.667 --> 00:01:26.317
So, just remember the south exit.

00:01:26.613 --> 00:01:31.048
Express first terminal locates
beside the department store.

00:01:31.048 --> 00:01:33.974
So, pretty much you can buy everything.

00:01:33.974 --> 00:01:38.302
Souvenir, bento... 
Or even the sweets as well.

00:01:38.697 --> 00:01:41.788
And this is the Takashimaya Times Square.

00:01:41.788 --> 00:01:45.793
Takashimaya is really popular 
department store in Japan.

00:01:45.793 --> 00:01:49.469
They have one of the cleanest
restroom in Shinjuku.

00:01:49.469 --> 00:01:51.116
This is the second floor.

00:01:51.116 --> 00:01:53.498
We gotta go down to the first floor.

00:01:53.498 --> 00:01:57.280
Since it's windy today,
feels much cooler.

00:01:57.596 --> 00:02:02.499
As you guys know, this year's
Japan's weather is totally weird.

00:02:02.499 --> 00:02:05.727
Yes, it's much hotter compared
to the usual year.

00:02:05.727 --> 00:02:08.284
My original plan was visiting Nikko today

00:02:08.284 --> 00:02:11.642
for watching the beautiful 
autumn leaves at Nikko.

00:02:11.642 --> 00:02:14.790
However, when I checked the 
official website of them,

00:02:14.790 --> 00:02:18.625
still, it's not fully changed
the color yet,

00:02:18.625 --> 00:02:20.304
which is totally weird.

00:02:20.304 --> 00:02:23.524
Because in the regular season,
already, they changed the color.

00:02:23.524 --> 00:02:25.536
So that's why I changed my plan.

00:02:25.536 --> 00:02:30.528
And probably, we'll visit there next 
week or two weeks from now.

00:02:30.528 --> 00:02:34.471
Some part of Nikko, already, 
tree color has changed.

00:02:34.471 --> 00:02:37.172
But not in the main color.

00:02:37.172 --> 00:02:39.517
So, I think we'd better wait.

00:02:39.517 --> 00:02:45.008
Now, we are heading to Shinjuku 
National Garden areas.

00:02:45.008 --> 00:02:48.341
We turn right over here and keep straight.

00:02:48.341 --> 00:02:50.496
It becomes the backstreet.

00:02:50.496 --> 00:02:52.154
There is McDonald's.

00:02:52.154 --> 00:02:55.668
And also, capsule hotel, too.

00:02:55.668 --> 00:02:59.684
Compared to the east part of Shinjuku,
it's not that convenient.

00:02:59.684 --> 00:03:02.531
However, I believe price is cheaper.

00:03:02.531 --> 00:03:07.695
Haven't tried here, but seems like 
the price is pretty good.

00:03:07.695 --> 00:03:10.862
Ten hours, 4,000 Japanese yen.

00:03:10.862 --> 00:03:13.521
There is a free morning curry.

00:03:13.521 --> 00:03:15.523
And also, the dinner as well.

00:03:15.523 --> 00:03:19.476
After 5:00 p.m. really?
It's all-you-can-drink alcohol.

00:03:19.476 --> 00:03:23.434
Seems like there is a nice 
artificial hot spring inside.

00:03:23.434 --> 00:03:26.048
And also, the capsule floor.

00:03:26.048 --> 00:03:27.618
Oh, interesting.

00:03:27.618 --> 00:03:31.506
But unfortunately, it's only
for men only though.

00:03:31.506 --> 00:03:35.973
Maybe if you want to save money,
you can try here.

00:03:35.973 --> 00:03:40.042
For the backpackers, I think it would 
be a good option, I believe.

00:03:40.042 --> 00:03:42.413
So, the first good and cheap restaurant,

00:03:42.413 --> 00:03:45.527
located just over there at the corner,

00:03:45.527 --> 00:03:48.415
which is really famous one in the world.

00:03:48.415 --> 00:03:51.310
All right, here we go.
We can see from here.

00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:53.784
Yes, it's Yoshinoya.

00:03:53.784 --> 00:03:56.381
Yoshinoya, needless to explain,

00:03:56.381 --> 00:03:58.822
it's a good and cheap
beef bowl restaurant.

00:03:58.822 --> 00:04:04.298
In Yoshinoya, you can eat the beef bowl 
with only 500 Japanese yen.

00:04:04.298 --> 00:04:09.674
Thinking about $1 US dollar is about
153 Japanese yen right now...

00:04:09.674 --> 00:04:15.437
Even you can eat this omurice curry 
with beef, including tax,

00:04:15.437 --> 00:04:19.028
it costs a little bit over $5 USD.

00:04:19.028 --> 00:04:23.010
But thinking about the quality,
it's pretty good.

00:04:23.010 --> 00:04:25.725
If you spend $6 USD,

00:04:25.725 --> 00:04:30.028
even you can have this 
sukiyaki set menu items.

00:04:30.848 --> 00:04:35.562
Probably, it never happens in 
most of the countries.

00:04:35.562 --> 00:04:38.804
The next restaurant we can see from here.

00:04:38.804 --> 00:04:42.340
Yes, it locates just over there, Sukiya.

00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:47.250
Sukiya is also a beef bowl restaurant.

00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:50.150
It is not as popular as Yoshinoya.

00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:52.910
However, it's pretty popular in Japan.

00:04:52.910 --> 00:04:55.188
Opens 24/7 as well.

00:04:55.188 --> 00:04:59.047
If you come over here
during the lunchtime,

00:04:59.047 --> 00:05:02.334
you can eat this beef bowl set menu items

00:05:02.334 --> 00:05:06.804
as cheap as 580 Japanese yen,
which is less than $5 USD.

00:05:06.804 --> 00:05:10.432
Sukiya also has the sukiyaki 
set menu items.

00:05:10.432 --> 00:05:14.960
If you spend $6 USD, 
which is 890 Japanese yen,

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:18.247
you can eat sukiyaki set menu items.

00:05:18.247 --> 00:05:21.556
My recommendation is their cheese gyudon,

00:05:21.556 --> 00:05:23.846
which is the beef bowl with cheese.

00:05:23.846 --> 00:05:25.275
It comes with Tabasco.

00:05:25.275 --> 00:05:29.397
So, if you like something spicy, 
you can always eat with Tabasco.

00:05:29.397 --> 00:05:34.048
Tastes like, you know, pizza 
mixed with beef bowl.

00:05:34.048 --> 00:05:37.736
If you like the pizza taste,
probably, you will like it.

00:05:37.736 --> 00:05:40.501
Price is only 620 Japanese yen.

00:05:40.501 --> 00:05:45.440
If you order it, ask them for tsuyudaku, 
which is the extra soup.

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:48.119
You can order it for free as well.

00:05:48.119 --> 00:05:49.059
Yes!

00:05:50.616 --> 00:05:55.928
Usually, those beef bowl restaurant, 
you can add extra soup for free.

00:05:55.928 --> 00:05:58.293
You can ask them, "Tsuyudaku de."

00:05:58.293 --> 00:06:01.686
Yes, it is a magical word.

00:06:01.686 --> 00:06:03.268
Let's keep walking.

00:06:03.268 --> 00:06:06.364
Well, it is not the restaurant.

00:06:06.364 --> 00:06:11.480
But also, IKEA... I recommend
their food as well.

00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.090
This is not the regular IKEA.

00:06:14.090 --> 00:06:18.064
In the big city, they have 
a smaller version.

00:06:18.064 --> 00:06:22.682
Still, we have dining inside,
but it's much smaller.

00:06:22.987 --> 00:06:24.363
Oh, wait.

00:06:24.363 --> 00:06:27.775
They usually sells the soft serve.

00:06:27.775 --> 00:06:30.552
But I think it becomes winter.

00:06:30.552 --> 00:06:32.840
So, I'm not sure. Let me see.

00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:35.558
Oh, yeah. Still, they are
selling the soft serve

00:06:35.558 --> 00:06:38.277
with only 50 Japanese yen.

00:06:38.277 --> 00:06:42.816
Yes, even you don't buy any
furniture, you can still buy it.

00:06:42.816 --> 00:06:47.256
And also, hot dog is only 
100 Japanese yen.

00:06:47.256 --> 00:06:48.110
Plus...

00:06:48.110 --> 00:06:52.214
And also, the drink bar is 
only 190 Japanese yen.

00:06:52.214 --> 00:06:54.987
Place to eat, it's kind of small.

00:06:54.987 --> 00:06:57.724
But it's pretty cheap as well.

00:06:57.724 --> 00:07:00.819
They already start selling
the Christmas tree.

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:03.576
Yep, the Christmas season is coming!

00:07:03.576 --> 00:07:04.950
Ho, ho, ho!

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.409
Yes! So, let's keep walking!

00:07:08.679 --> 00:07:14.159
After passing IKEA, Shinjuku 
Gyoen is just over there.

00:07:14.159 --> 00:07:19.779
Shinjuku Gyoen is a huge park 
located in center of Shinjuku.

00:07:19.779 --> 00:07:21.177
It's a paid park.

00:07:21.177 --> 00:07:25.395
So, compared to other regular 
parks, it's a bit different.

00:07:25.395 --> 00:07:28.476
It costs 500 Japanese yen to enter.

00:07:28.476 --> 00:07:33.928
However, if you are 15 years old 
and under, it will be free.

00:07:33.928 --> 00:07:40.394
And if you have 60 years old and over, 
it only costs 250 Japanese yen.

00:07:40.394 --> 00:07:42.288
So is the student.

00:07:42.288 --> 00:07:46.002
There are many people waiting
in front of the ticket counter.

00:07:46.002 --> 00:07:48.671
However, if you have a train IC card,

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.

00:07:52.777 --> 00:07:58.378
I have an annual passport,
so it becomes free.

00:07:58.378 --> 00:08:02.128
They're selling the annual pass
for 2,000 Japanese yen.

00:08:02.128 --> 00:08:05.808
So, if you come more than 
4x here in a year,

00:08:05.808 --> 00:08:08.483
I recommend you to get the annual pass.

00:08:08.483 --> 00:08:10.769
One thing you have to be careful...

00:08:10.769 --> 00:08:12.762
Most of the park in Japan,

00:08:12.762 --> 00:08:16.370
it's a public place, so 
you can drink alcohol.

00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:20.839
But this kind of paid park, 
you can't drink alcohol.

00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.589
During autumn season,
this place changed the color.

00:08:24.589 --> 00:08:26.513
And it becomes beautiful.

00:08:26.513 --> 00:08:29.356
However, since this year, it was hot,

00:08:29.356 --> 00:08:32.058
so, still, they hasn't changed
the color yet.

00:08:32.058 --> 00:08:37.881
Some trees are changing color 
a little bit, but not that much.

00:08:37.881 --> 00:08:41.199
So, we can come back in the future.

00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:44.190
Let's go to the next spot.

00:08:45.530 --> 00:08:48.235
We came back to the corner of IKEA.

00:08:48.235 --> 00:08:51.343
We are heading to north part of Shinjuku.

00:08:51.343 --> 00:08:54.354
We are at Shinjuku-Sanchome Station.

00:08:54.354 --> 00:09:00.721
Beside this station, Suehiro Dori/
Suehiro Street will start.

00:09:00.721 --> 00:09:04.658
In this Suehiro Street, 
it becomes the backstreet.

00:09:05.078 --> 00:09:08.879
There are so many local 
drinking restaurants.

00:09:09.269 --> 00:09:12.766
It's not like the less than 
$5 USD restaurants.

00:09:12.766 --> 00:09:15.966
However, compared to the 
other drinking place,

00:09:15.966 --> 00:09:18.097
usually, it's cheaper.

00:09:18.097 --> 00:09:22.738
During the nighttime, there will be so
many locals drinking around here.

00:09:22.738 --> 00:09:26.247
So, it will be an interesting street 
for travelers, too.

00:09:26.247 --> 00:09:29.611
There is a rakugo house in the backstreet.

00:09:29.611 --> 00:09:34.207
Rakugo is a traditional 
entertainment in Japan.

00:09:34.207 --> 00:09:35.508
It's a bit different.

00:09:35.508 --> 00:09:39.930
But it's like, you know, standup
comedy in other country.

00:09:39.930 --> 00:09:41.683
We sit down though.

00:09:41.683 --> 00:09:44.499
Entrance fee costs 3,000 Japanese yen.

00:09:44.499 --> 00:09:49.149
But if you don't understand Japanese,
it is a verbal entertainment.

00:09:49.149 --> 00:09:53.265
So probably, you cannot enjoy it.

00:09:53.265 --> 00:09:56.632
You can enjoy the traditional
atmosphere though.

00:09:56.632 --> 00:09:58.505
But maybe from the outside,

00:09:58.505 --> 00:10:01.197
I think it's enough if you don't 
understand Japanese.

00:10:01.197 --> 00:10:05.627
And drinking restaurants continues.

00:10:05.627 --> 00:10:08.482
It's just too early time for this street.

00:10:08.482 --> 00:10:11.803
So, many store is closing.

00:10:11.803 --> 00:10:14.476
Let's go back to the main street.

00:10:14.476 --> 00:10:17.692
And another good and cheap
restaurant over here.

00:10:17.692 --> 00:10:20.746
It's a small restaurant,
but a really popular one.

00:10:20.746 --> 00:10:24.306
Fuji Soba opens 24 hours as well.

00:10:24.306 --> 00:10:28.813
Seems like they are having collab
with Ryu Ga Gotoku now.

00:10:28.813 --> 00:10:33.316
You can eat the cutlet curry 
with 680 Japanese yen,

00:10:33.316 --> 00:10:35.511
which is less than $5 USD.

00:10:35.511 --> 00:10:41.372
Also, the ramen, 530 Japanese yen
and 580 Japanese yen.

00:10:41.372 --> 00:10:45.290
Those of them even cheaper than $4 USD.

00:10:45.595 --> 00:10:49.497
Whenever I want to have a 
quick meal with cheaper price,

00:10:49.497 --> 00:10:53.788
I usually come over to 
Fuji Soba and eating soba.

00:10:53.788 --> 00:10:57.055
To be honest, the food quality
is not that high.

00:10:57.055 --> 00:11:00.047
But there are two big positive things.

00:11:00.047 --> 00:11:01.872
One, price is really cheap.

00:11:01.872 --> 00:11:05.079
And two, they serve it really quick.

00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:10.089
If you order soba, you know, they can
serve less than a minute.

00:11:10.089 --> 00:11:12.968
So, if you want to have a quick meal,

00:11:12.968 --> 00:11:16.494
definitely, this place is recommended.

00:11:16.494 --> 00:11:21.628
You can eat plain soba with 
only 420 Japanese yen.

00:11:21.628 --> 00:11:23.608
So, let's go to the next spot.

00:11:23.608 --> 00:11:24.891
By the way...

00:11:24.891 --> 00:11:26.948
There is another Fuji Soba.

00:11:26.948 --> 00:11:29.986
Yes, there are so many Fuji Soba in Tokyo.

00:11:29.986 --> 00:11:34.127
Now, we are at one of the
main street of Shinjuku.

00:11:34.127 --> 00:11:39.382
If we keep straight, we enter 
to the Kabukicho.

00:11:39.382 --> 00:11:44.491
Beside this street, there is a shrine, 
Hanazono Jinja.

00:11:44.961 --> 00:11:47.731
It's located in Shinjuku.

00:11:47.731 --> 00:11:53.875
Right next to the Shinjuku-Sanchome 
Golden Gai/Golden Street.

00:11:53.875 --> 00:11:58.215
Golden Street is very interesting
spot to visit.

00:11:58.215 --> 00:12:02.813
But also, this Hanazono Shrine, 
during the festival time,

00:12:02.813 --> 00:12:05.834
it becomes really interesting as well.

00:12:05.834 --> 00:12:08.818
So, don't forget to visit here, too.

00:12:08.818 --> 00:12:11.868
All right, so let's go back
to the main street.

00:12:13.768 --> 00:12:15.954
Next to the shine,

00:12:15.954 --> 00:12:19.772
there is one of my favorite 
restaurants, Bikkuri Donkey,

00:12:19.772 --> 00:12:22.276
which is a hamburg steak 
chain restaurant.

00:12:22.276 --> 00:12:26.418
Compared to less than $5 USD
restaurants, it's a bit expensive.

00:12:26.418 --> 00:12:28.819
However, if you like hamburg steak,

00:12:28.819 --> 00:12:33.284
and also, ready to spend money
a little bit more,

00:12:33.284 --> 00:12:38.212
definitely, this Bikkuri Donkey 
restaurant, I recommend.

00:12:38.212 --> 00:12:42.795
When you see this corner,
you can just turn right.

00:12:42.795 --> 00:12:45.927
The Golden Street entrance is
just over there.

00:12:45.927 --> 00:12:49.883
In this street, there are many 
tiny drinking restaurants.

00:12:49.883 --> 00:12:54.321
So, for travelers, it is very,
very interesting spot.

00:12:54.321 --> 00:12:55.980
Now, it's very quiet.

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:58.809
However, when it becomes nighttime,

00:12:58.809 --> 00:13:02.274
this place becomes so many people.

00:13:02.274 --> 00:13:05.491
Maybe not visiting here with kids.

00:13:05.491 --> 00:13:10.405
But one of the interesting spot
in Shinjuku like Kabukicho.

00:13:10.405 --> 00:13:13.655
That street called Golden Gai.

00:13:13.655 --> 00:13:20.587
"Gai" means usually "town." But in 
that case, it means "street."

00:13:21.337 --> 00:13:26.968
And here, another less than 
$5 restaurant, Saizeriya.

00:13:27.178 --> 00:13:30.180
It's a Japanese Italian restaurant.

00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:34.675
Their doria with meat sauce,
only 300 Japanese yen.

00:13:34.675 --> 00:13:39.445
And the small regular pizza,
it's 400 Japanese yen.

00:13:39.445 --> 00:13:44.397
To be honest, if you just only order
this doria, it's not enough.

00:13:44.397 --> 00:13:49.938
But if you order even this doria and 
pizza, 700 Japanese yen.

00:13:49.938 --> 00:13:52.865
So, it's almost $5 USD.

00:13:52.865 --> 00:13:55.402
They have pasta, too.

00:13:55.402 --> 00:14:01.341
This shrimp with spicy cod roe 
sauce, 540 Japanese yen.

00:14:01.341 --> 00:14:06.656
And mushroom with spinach cream
sauce, 600 Japanese yen.

00:14:06.656 --> 00:14:11.038
They also have hamburg steak,
only 400 Japanese yen.

00:14:11.038 --> 00:14:15.218
Of course, compared to the Bikkuri 
Donkey quality, it's different.

00:14:15.218 --> 00:14:18.294
However, the price is 
totally different, too.

00:14:18.294 --> 00:14:20.954
One thing you have to be careful,

00:14:20.954 --> 00:14:23.525
since it's pretty good and cheap,

00:14:23.525 --> 00:14:26.628
so always crowded and noisy,

00:14:26.628 --> 00:14:30.314
especially in this Shinjuku
Station's place.

00:14:30.314 --> 00:14:33.306
So, if you want to eat quietly,

00:14:33.306 --> 00:14:36.021
definitely, this is not the place 
to come though.

00:14:36.021 --> 00:14:38.273
But it's the chain restaurant.

00:14:38.273 --> 00:14:40.435
If you visit in the quiet town,

00:14:40.435 --> 00:14:44.816
some Saizeriya much fewer people, 
and also, quiet as well.

00:14:44.816 --> 00:14:47.630
So, in that place, I recommend.

00:14:48.028 --> 00:14:51.304
But maybe not in the 
crowded place though.

00:14:51.304 --> 00:14:56.452
Now, we are getting closer to the
entrance of Kabukicho Godzilla Street.

00:14:56.452 --> 00:14:59.911
So, there are more and more 
people on the street.

00:14:59.911 --> 00:15:02.263
Don Quijote is over here.

00:15:02.263 --> 00:15:06.337
After turn right on this corner,
there's Kabukicho.

00:15:06.936 --> 00:15:07.973
Here we go.

00:15:07.973 --> 00:15:11.490
We are at Godzilla Central Street.

00:15:11.871 --> 00:15:15.865
There is a good and cheap
restaurant in Kabukicho, too.

00:15:15.865 --> 00:15:17.997
Let me introduce.

00:15:18.397 --> 00:15:19.371
Oh, wait.

00:15:19.371 --> 00:15:21.710
This Don Quijote...

00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:25.098
They now have the new claw machines, huh.

00:15:25.098 --> 00:15:27.077
I didn't know that.

00:15:27.077 --> 00:15:29.849
Oh my goodness, that's so cute!

00:15:29.849 --> 00:15:32.334
So many Donpen mascot!

00:15:32.618 --> 00:15:36.355
It's the character of Don Quijote.

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:38.793
Oh, look at this one!

00:15:38.793 --> 00:15:41.032
We can place the eye drops.

00:15:41.032 --> 00:15:45.040
You know, since I always mistakenly
wash my eye drops

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:46.525
at the washing machine.

00:15:46.525 --> 00:15:48.672
So, let's try it.

00:15:48.672 --> 00:15:51.931
Seems like that blue one, we can get it.

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.934
Price is 100 Japanese yen for one time.

00:15:55.934 --> 00:15:57.396
Let's do it!

00:15:57.676 --> 00:16:00.370
Yep, seems like it's an easy job.

00:16:00.370 --> 00:16:03.684
All right... 3, 2, 1, let's go!

00:16:03.684 --> 00:16:05.984
[GASPS] I think it's perfect!

00:16:05.984 --> 00:16:06.702
Can we?

00:16:06.702 --> 00:16:09.163
Nooooo...

00:16:10.390 --> 00:16:12.165
I need to break the coin.

00:16:12.165 --> 00:16:14.220
Well, I tried to break the coin.

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:16.676
But there is no coin breaking machine.

00:16:16.676 --> 00:16:19.857
And there is a long line 
in front of the cashier.

00:16:19.857 --> 00:16:22.635
So, maybe next time we can try.

00:16:22.635 --> 00:16:25.437
It's okay. Let's keep walking.

00:16:25.437 --> 00:16:29.845
Oh, wait. Seems like the 
Godzilla show just started.

00:16:29.845 --> 00:16:31.928
[CHUCKLES]

00:16:32.491 --> 00:16:35.856
Yep, there is a Godzilla show 
once in a while.

00:16:35.856 --> 00:16:39.716
It's fun to watch, however, 
it's a small show.

00:16:39.716 --> 00:16:43.583
So, maybe, you know, you don't 
have to wait that long.

00:16:43.583 --> 00:16:49.410
If you find that show is on,
you can enjoy it.

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:53.290
But not like the super 
entertaining show though.

00:16:53.290 --> 00:16:56.882
So, the next spot is Ringer Hut.

00:16:56.882 --> 00:17:01.983
It's a Nagasaki champon, 
noodle with so many veggies.

00:17:01.983 --> 00:17:06.868
Price is 800 Japanese yen,
so it's a bit more than $5 USD.

00:17:06.868 --> 00:17:10.037
But it's my favorite restaurant, too.

00:17:10.037 --> 00:17:13.233
I especially like this sara udon.

00:17:13.233 --> 00:17:17.153
There is crispy noodle and
so many veggies on top.

00:17:17.153 --> 00:17:19.336
Price is 850 Japanese yen.

00:17:19.336 --> 00:17:20.957
It's the chain restaurant.

00:17:20.957 --> 00:17:23.391
You can find in many places.

00:17:23.391 --> 00:17:25.530
Yep, one of my favorite restaurant.

00:17:25.530 --> 00:17:28.753
Next to Ringer Hut, there is Gindako.

00:17:28.753 --> 00:17:33.176
The regular takoyaki is 580 Japanese yen.

00:17:33.176 --> 00:17:34.835
It's pretty good, too.

00:17:34.835 --> 00:17:38.394
Compared to Osaka takoyaki, 
it's a little bit crispy.

00:17:38.394 --> 00:17:42.390
A bit different, but it 
tastes pretty good, too.

00:17:42.390 --> 00:17:45.721
Now, we are at Toyoko.

00:17:45.721 --> 00:17:49.802
Kabukicho Tower is just over there.

00:17:49.802 --> 00:17:53.075
This place used to be 
a very chaotic place.

00:17:53.075 --> 00:17:55.686
But now, it becomes much cleaner.

00:17:55.866 --> 00:17:58.820
Let's walk to the Kabukicho Tower.

00:17:59.379 --> 00:18:01.106
Since it's a weekday,

00:18:01.106 --> 00:18:03.959
and there are not that many
people on the street,

00:18:03.959 --> 00:18:09.014
so probably, Kabukicho Tower,
really few people inside, I believe.

00:18:09.014 --> 00:18:12.717
There's a Starbucks in front 
of Kabukicho Tower.

00:18:12.717 --> 00:18:16.534
Usually, many people sitting 
down over here

00:18:16.534 --> 00:18:18.252
and drinking Starbucks.

00:18:18.252 --> 00:18:23.080
But today, not that many people 
over here though.

00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:26.965
It getting cold, so maybe 
that's the reason why.

00:18:26.965 --> 00:18:32.882
In the warm day, it was a perfect spot 
to take a rest though.

00:18:33.252 --> 00:18:37.625
They usually have many different 
kinds of event on the weekend.

00:18:37.625 --> 00:18:40.910
But today, since it's a weekday,

00:18:40.910 --> 00:18:44.095
probably, no event is going on.

00:18:44.095 --> 00:18:48.447
Oh, actually, there are more 
people than I thought.

00:18:48.447 --> 00:18:51.763
When I come over here during September,

00:18:51.763 --> 00:18:53.483
there were really fewer people.

00:18:53.483 --> 00:18:57.263
But seems like today, still,
there are travelers over here.

00:18:57.263 --> 00:18:58.907
Even on the weekday.

00:18:58.907 --> 00:19:01.897
How about in the second floor?

00:19:03.563 --> 00:19:09.806
In the second floor, there is 
a nice game center.

00:19:09.806 --> 00:19:13.110
So many claw machines with games.

00:19:13.110 --> 00:19:16.152
Since we don't have a casino in Japan,

00:19:16.152 --> 00:19:21.586
so this game center is like the, you
know, casino entertainment spot.

00:19:22.276 --> 00:19:25.402
Oh, wait. Now, it becomes Pokémon.

00:19:25.402 --> 00:19:28.898
And also, Dragon Ball Shenron.

00:19:29.088 --> 00:19:30.354
Really?

00:19:30.354 --> 00:19:35.957
And also, price gets cheaper,
180 Japanese yen for a play.

00:19:35.957 --> 00:19:40.308
We can play it with train IC card.

00:19:40.308 --> 00:19:41.778
Let's do it!

00:19:45.248 --> 00:19:46.384
So there is a button.

00:19:46.384 --> 00:19:49.732
I just need to hold, and 
there's the scissors.

00:19:49.732 --> 00:19:53.096
If I cut the line over there, I win.

00:19:53.096 --> 00:19:54.225
So, let's do it!

00:19:54.225 --> 00:19:57.129
Hope I can do better this time.

00:19:57.129 --> 00:19:57.715
Hai!

00:19:57.935 --> 00:19:59.216
How about it?

00:19:59.442 --> 00:20:01.958
Nooooo...

00:20:03.453 --> 00:20:04.964
[LAUGHS]

00:20:06.464 --> 00:20:08.153
My Shenron!

00:20:08.322 --> 00:20:11.731
Well, claw machine, sometimes
I win when I'm lucky.

00:20:11.731 --> 00:20:16.045
But this line cut machine,
I can never win.

00:20:16.045 --> 00:20:17.182
So...

00:20:17.862 --> 00:20:20.781
Maybe next time, and one day, 
maybe I can win.

00:20:20.781 --> 00:20:22.530
Oh, Nika is here.

00:20:22.530 --> 00:20:25.615
But this kind of claw machine
is so hard to win.

00:20:25.615 --> 00:20:27.799
So... Maybe next time.

00:20:28.109 --> 00:20:30.464
Ooh, the Joker here.

00:20:30.464 --> 00:20:33.061
Time for the Joker dance.

00:20:33.061 --> 00:20:39.349
There is a VR Godzilla ride, but seems 
like it's not that busy today.

00:20:40.869 --> 00:20:45.094
There is drinking bar at the corner.

00:20:45.514 --> 00:20:49.554
Now, we have more Taiko no
Tatsujin over here.

00:20:49.554 --> 00:20:52.812
And also, the new machine.

00:20:54.053 --> 00:20:56.440
I believe that's a shooting game.

00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.640
And chair will move.

00:21:00.770 --> 00:21:03.527
Haha, that must be a fun game.

00:21:03.527 --> 00:21:08.133
And so many different kinds 
of racing game over here.

00:21:09.373 --> 00:21:10.173
Nice.

00:21:10.541 --> 00:21:13.230
Let's go to the next spot.

00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:18.181
So the next spot, it's right in 
front of Kabukicho Tower.

00:21:18.421 --> 00:21:20.340
It's Hidakaya.

00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:23.500
Oh, their motsu yasai ramen is back.

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:27.992
It's a little bit spicy ramen.
It's intestine inside.

00:21:27.992 --> 00:21:32.245
Price is 673 Japanese yen. Almost $5 USD.

00:21:32.245 --> 00:21:36.322
If you order the fried rice,
it's only 464.

00:21:36.562 --> 00:21:40.490
And tenshinhan (crab omelette
rice), 528 Japanese yen.

00:21:40.710 --> 00:21:43.815
Motsu yasai ramen... It's a limited one.

00:21:43.815 --> 00:21:46.787
Why not? Let's try.

00:21:47.857 --> 00:21:50.110
So, let's sit down in the corner.

00:21:50.110 --> 00:21:53.045
We can order by the panel.

00:21:53.230 --> 00:21:54.050
One...

00:21:57.435 --> 00:21:59.780
And ramen.

00:21:59.780 --> 00:22:01.860
Motsu yasai ramen...

00:22:02.379 --> 00:22:04.158
"Ki kan gen tei." Limited.

00:22:04.158 --> 00:22:06.127
Oh, yeah. Here we go.

00:22:06.127 --> 00:22:09.079
Motsu yasai ramen, 740 Japanese yen.

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.300
With gyoza, 990.

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:14.530
And han chahan (half fried rice), 990.

00:22:14.530 --> 00:22:17.080
Yeah, let's eat with chahan.

00:22:18.050 --> 00:22:19.495
Futsu-mori. 
(Regular portion.)

00:22:25.090 --> 00:22:26.357
Perfect.

00:22:26.687 --> 00:22:28.993
On the table, there are many seasonings,

00:22:28.993 --> 00:22:31.715
so you can always change the taste, too.

00:22:31.715 --> 00:22:34.334
Beer is only 350 Japanese yen, too.

00:22:34.334 --> 00:22:37.468
Why not? Let's kanpai!

00:22:39.274 --> 00:22:41.356
Here we go! It arrives.

00:22:41.356 --> 00:22:44.420
So, this is a spicy intestine ramen.

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:48.340
And also, fried rice, chahan.

00:22:48.340 --> 00:22:52.239
All right, here we go. 
The beer has arrived, too, so...

00:22:52.239 --> 00:22:53.346
Let's eat!

00:22:54.206 --> 00:22:55.760
And also...

00:23:03.522 --> 00:23:06.748
It [tastes] much spicer than 
how it looks like.

00:23:06.748 --> 00:23:09.954
That's something what I remember.

00:23:09.954 --> 00:23:12.117
The noodle itself is okay.

00:23:12.117 --> 00:23:15.145
However, with this noodle soup,

00:23:15.145 --> 00:23:19.608
mixed with this chahan, 
fried rice, it's perfect.

00:23:19.608 --> 00:23:21.603
That's something what I love.

00:23:21.603 --> 00:23:23.223
So, if you order this,

00:23:23.223 --> 00:23:26.109
I recommend you to order 
with the fried rice though.

00:23:31.041 --> 00:23:32.321
[WHISPERS] It's spicy!

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:44.114
Well, compared to Ichiran, the 
quality is, of course, different.

00:23:44.114 --> 00:23:47.571
However, thinking about the price, yeah...

00:23:47.770 --> 00:23:48.755
I like it.

00:23:54.020 --> 00:23:54.952
Spicy.

00:23:55.186 --> 00:23:57.907
This spicy noodle is okay.

00:23:57.907 --> 00:23:59.285
But, yeah...

00:23:59.285 --> 00:24:03.922
One thing that I love is 
mix this soup...

00:24:07.042 --> 00:24:10.469
...eat the fried rice with intestine.

00:24:31.554 --> 00:24:32.434
Spicy.

00:24:39.159 --> 00:24:40.676
Speaking of the intestine...

00:24:40.676 --> 00:24:43.113
Usually, intestine has an organ smell.

00:24:43.113 --> 00:24:47.076
However, inside this noodle, 
it doesn't taste smelly at all.

00:24:47.076 --> 00:24:51.026
So, the intestine with the organ smell,
I don't really like it.

00:24:51.026 --> 00:24:55.792
But without organ smell, 
this chewy intestine, lovin' it.

00:24:56.952 --> 00:24:59.405
Especially, perfect with beer.

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.727
Price was 1,340 Japanese yen.

00:25:04.727 --> 00:25:08.643
To be honest, if you just ate the 
chahan, which is the fried rice,

00:25:08.643 --> 00:25:10.999
or dumpling, gyoza,

00:25:10.999 --> 00:25:15.599
I recommend you to try Osho, 
which is a different chain restaurant.

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:20.239
However, that spicy intestine
ramen with fried rice,

00:25:20.239 --> 00:25:23.597
definitely, I recommend. 
It's spicy though.

00:25:23.597 --> 00:25:26.108
If you love intestine, which is motsu,

00:25:26.108 --> 00:25:27.914
definitely, you can try.

00:25:27.914 --> 00:25:31.715
By the way, "intestine" in Japanese
called "motsu."

00:25:31.715 --> 00:25:33.305
Yes, you got it.

00:25:33.305 --> 00:25:36.778
So, now, let's go to the next spot.

00:25:36.778 --> 00:25:39.417
We are in front of Yunika Vision.

00:25:39.417 --> 00:25:43.030
This is one of the signature spot
in Shinjuku.

00:25:43.367 --> 00:25:47.520
We are heading to the 
underground in Subnade.

00:25:50.257 --> 00:25:52.916
You can just going downstairs.

00:25:52.916 --> 00:25:58.492
By the way, this is the place in front 
of Kabukicho Ichibangai's entrance.

00:25:58.492 --> 00:26:02.541
Oh my goodness... 
It's so crowded as always.

00:26:02.541 --> 00:26:04.763
It's one of the picture spot.

00:26:04.763 --> 00:26:09.973
But also, it's a small street,
so that's why.

00:26:09.973 --> 00:26:14.570
So, let's going down to 
the underground town.

00:26:16.509 --> 00:26:19.570
In the underground, it is the Subnade.

00:26:19.570 --> 00:26:22.852
There are several restaurants
that I recommend.

00:26:22.985 --> 00:26:29.198
The first one, it's Tonkatsu Wako.
Deep fried pork cutlet.

00:26:29.198 --> 00:26:33.518
Speaking of the price,
it's more than $5 USD.

00:26:33.518 --> 00:26:37.757
However, thinking about the quality, 
definitely, it's worth it.

00:26:37.757 --> 00:26:43.858
For example, this dish comes with menchi 
katsu, deep fried shrimp, eggplant...

00:26:43.858 --> 00:26:46.329
And also, the pork cutlet.

00:26:46.329 --> 00:26:49.684
Chawanmushi, which is a 
Japanese style pudding.

00:26:49.684 --> 00:26:54.562
Pickled veggie, sweets, rice,
and miso soup.

00:26:54.562 --> 00:26:58.761
Rice, and miso soup, and cabbage—
all you can eat.

00:26:58.761 --> 00:27:02.033
Price is only 1,680 Japanese yen.

00:27:02.033 --> 00:27:09.809
This big pork cutlet with radish, daikon 
oroshi, 1,980 Japanese yen, too.

00:27:09.809 --> 00:27:13.254
Compared to the fast food restaurant,
food quality is different.

00:27:13.254 --> 00:27:18.693
So, thinking about the price and quality, 
I definitely recommend this restaurant.

00:27:18.693 --> 00:27:22.700
Also, behind that restaurant...

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:26.570
There is Negishi, which is a 
beef tongue restaurant.

00:27:26.570 --> 00:27:30.885
Set menu items is about 
1,500 to 2,000 Japanese yen.

00:27:30.885 --> 00:27:34.482
However, the quality is pretty good, too.

00:27:34.722 --> 00:27:36.745
The rice is a bit different.

00:27:36.745 --> 00:27:40.094
It's mugi meshi, barley rice.

00:27:40.094 --> 00:27:44.520
Comes with yam, so you can 
mix this yam with this rice.

00:27:44.520 --> 00:27:45.940
Tastes pretty good.

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:47.293
It's healthy, too.

00:27:47.293 --> 00:27:51.329
So, if you like beef tongue, I recommend
this restaurant as well.

00:27:51.329 --> 00:27:53.955
Let's go to the upstairs.

00:27:56.174 --> 00:27:59.919
Already, outside gets pretty dark.

00:27:59.919 --> 00:28:03.341
We are heading to west part
of Shinjuku now.

00:28:03.341 --> 00:28:04.350
Haha...

00:28:04.350 --> 00:28:09.910
Yup, this spot, also, so 
iconic spot of Shinjuku.

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:14.090
After cross this train track,
next spot is over there.

00:28:14.090 --> 00:28:17.965
So, the next restaurant is Matsuya.

00:28:17.965 --> 00:28:22.922
It's also one of the really popular 
beef bowl restaurants.

00:28:22.922 --> 00:28:25.931
Beef bowl is only 430 Japanese yen.

00:28:25.931 --> 00:28:29.130
If you eat inside, it comes 
with miso soup.

00:28:29.130 --> 00:28:33.205
But my recommendation is curry.

00:28:33.205 --> 00:28:38.242
Thinking about it's beef bowl restaurant, 
their curry tastes pretty good.

00:28:38.462 --> 00:28:40.928
And so is the hamburger steak.

00:28:40.928 --> 00:28:44.385
So, this hamburger steak curry,
I recommend.

00:28:44.385 --> 00:28:47.712
Recently, they serve the
beef bowl with cheese.

00:28:47.712 --> 00:28:52.371
However, I think Sukiya is better.

00:28:52.371 --> 00:28:56.821
So, if you want to eat the beef bowl
with cheese, just go to Sukiya.

00:28:56.821 --> 00:28:58.343
It's just different.

00:28:58.343 --> 00:29:05.291
Next to Matsuya, there is Omoide Street, 
which is a really popular touristic spot.

00:29:05.291 --> 00:29:08.324
Nice retro street continues.

00:29:08.324 --> 00:29:10.932
But compared to the backstreet,

00:29:10.932 --> 00:29:16.295
this Omoide Yokocho is more like, 
you know, spot for travelers.

00:29:16.295 --> 00:29:18.992
So, the atmosphere is a 
bit different though.

00:29:18.992 --> 00:29:24.291
Next to Omoide Yokocho, there are
many discounted ticket store.

00:29:24.291 --> 00:29:27.895
I had the question, 
where to change the currency?

00:29:27.895 --> 00:29:30.067
Well, definitely, it's not the airport.

00:29:30.067 --> 00:29:33.095
Because, usually, their commission fee
is more expensive.

00:29:33.095 --> 00:29:37.787
Usually, those discounted ticket store
has the better exchange rate.

00:29:37.787 --> 00:29:42.314
So, if you find those discounted 
ticket store, you can change.

00:29:42.314 --> 00:29:45.574
They usually accept most
of the major currency.

00:29:45.574 --> 00:29:48.441
So, maybe you can try to check their rate.

00:29:48.441 --> 00:29:53.380
Most of the place have better rate 
compared to the airport.

00:29:53.380 --> 00:29:57.280
It gets darker, so more and 
more people on the street.

00:29:57.280 --> 00:30:00.824
Now, we at west part of Shinjuku.

00:30:00.824 --> 00:30:04.202
They are renewing the 
west part of Shinjuku.

00:30:04.202 --> 00:30:07.365
Now, still, the street is super packed.

00:30:07.365 --> 00:30:10.273
But after renewed it,
it will be much better.

00:30:10.273 --> 00:30:13.516
They are building the new street on top.

00:30:13.516 --> 00:30:18.354
And now, we can see the complete
street over here, too.

00:30:18.354 --> 00:30:22.799
That street continues to 
the Shinjuku Station.

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.176
After they finish the construction,

00:30:25.176 --> 00:30:30.671
this west side of Shinjuku will be really
spacy spot for the pedestrians.

00:30:31.078 --> 00:30:36.480
It will be totally different,
so I really look forward to it.

00:30:37.870 --> 00:30:38.885
Sweet.

00:30:39.625 --> 00:30:42.498
I have two more restaurants 
that I want to introduce

00:30:42.498 --> 00:30:45.286
in west part of Shinjuku.

00:30:45.286 --> 00:30:50.536
Compared to north part of Shinjuku, 
west part of Shinjuku, more quiet.

00:30:50.536 --> 00:30:54.448
In west part of Shinjuku, 
there is a Yodobashi Camera,

00:30:54.448 --> 00:30:58.757
which is the really popular electric 
appliance store in Japan.

00:30:58.757 --> 00:31:04.778
In front of Yodobashi Camera, there are
so many gachapon machines.

00:31:05.308 --> 00:31:10.511
If you love gachapon, yes, this is 
a place that you can come.

00:31:10.511 --> 00:31:13.785
So, the restaurant is behind this street.

00:31:13.785 --> 00:31:17.587
It's the street on Gigo Game Center.

00:31:18.367 --> 00:31:22.781
There are so many salarymen works
in Shinjuku west side.

00:31:22.781 --> 00:31:26.730
So, there are so many drinking place
as well in this street.

00:31:26.730 --> 00:31:30.494
Wait, supposed to be around here.

00:31:31.414 --> 00:31:32.526
Let me see.

00:31:32.526 --> 00:31:35.518
Oh, sorry, it's the next street.

00:31:35.518 --> 00:31:38.815
Oh, yeah, supposed to be
the street next to it.

00:31:38.815 --> 00:31:41.804
So, we need to turn right on that corner.

00:31:41.804 --> 00:31:44.002
Oh, there's another Hidakaya.

00:31:44.002 --> 00:31:46.399
And yeah, must be here.

00:31:47.379 --> 00:31:49.600
All right, here we go. This is the place.

00:31:49.600 --> 00:31:52.389
So, this place called Shinpachi Shokudo.

00:31:52.389 --> 00:31:55.948
They have nice Japanese food with fish.

00:31:55.948 --> 00:31:59.285
All the fish comes with rice 
and miso soup.

00:31:59.285 --> 00:32:03.110
Thinking about the quality and price,
one of the best.

00:32:03.110 --> 00:32:04.299
And the best point:

00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:10.323
If you order teishoku, you can order 
the beer with 150 Japanese yen.

00:32:10.323 --> 00:32:13.751
For the second one,
also 150 Japanese yen, too.

00:32:13.751 --> 00:32:20.552
My recommendation is salmon hara teishoku,
salmon belly teishoku.

00:32:20.552 --> 00:32:22.836
Comes with rice and miso soup.

00:32:22.836 --> 00:32:24.851
Order with beer.

00:32:24.851 --> 00:32:30.954
Yep. That would be the perfect menu 
if you want to eat the lunch by yourself.

00:32:30.954 --> 00:32:32.805
Speaking of Shinpachi Shokudo,

00:32:32.805 --> 00:32:34.571
recently, it gets really popular.

00:32:34.571 --> 00:32:37.855
And we have so many Shinpachi 
Shokudo in many places.

00:32:37.855 --> 00:32:39.914
Even in Shinjuku, too.

00:32:39.914 --> 00:32:41.578
In other stations as well.

00:32:41.578 --> 00:32:47.529
So, if you like the grilled fish 
teishoku, definitely, I recommend.

00:32:47.529 --> 00:32:49.726
Especially, if you drink beer.

00:32:49.726 --> 00:32:55.527
Thinking about the price, eventually, 
it become cheaper, so... Good place.

00:32:55.527 --> 00:32:58.386
And the next spot is just over there.

00:32:58.386 --> 00:33:00.622
Yes! It's right over there.

00:33:00.622 --> 00:33:03.770
It's the tonkatsu restaurant, Katsuya.

00:33:03.770 --> 00:33:07.206
Their cutlet bowl is only 
590 Japanese yen.

00:33:07.206 --> 00:33:12.543
However, I recommend the katsu curry, 
which is the curry with pork cutlet.

00:33:12.543 --> 00:33:15.701
It only costs 730 Japanese yen.

00:33:15.701 --> 00:33:20.197
Compared to Wako, which is that 
expensive pork cutlet restaurant,

00:33:20.197 --> 00:33:21.944
Of course, the quality is different.

00:33:21.944 --> 00:33:25.952
However, thinking about the price,
definitely, I recommend.

00:33:25.952 --> 00:33:30.955
For me, whenever I want eat quietly 
with my friend in the restaurant,

00:33:30.955 --> 00:33:32.594
I always use Wako.

00:33:32.594 --> 00:33:36.736
But whenever I make the 
to-go food for the pork cutlet,

00:33:36.736 --> 00:33:40.432
I use Katsuya, especially
for the cutlet curry.

00:33:40.432 --> 00:33:43.568
If you want to save money and 
you want to make it to-go,

00:33:43.568 --> 00:33:46.917
maybe you want to bring back to 
the hotel because you are tired,

00:33:46.917 --> 00:33:49.391
maybe you can use this Katsuya to-go.

00:33:49.391 --> 00:33:52.035
Yes, definitely, I recommend.

00:33:52.035 --> 00:33:56.427
So, we are almost at south exit 
of Shinjuku Station.

00:33:56.427 --> 00:33:58.640
It's almost the rush hour time,

00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:04.733
so this Shinjuku Station is 
getting crowded as always.

00:34:04.733 --> 00:34:08.697
Usually, in the street, there are 
many street performers.

00:34:08.697 --> 00:34:12.828
But seems like, still,
no one has started yet.

00:34:12.828 --> 00:34:15.883
This is the South Gate
of Shinjuku Station.

00:34:15.883 --> 00:34:20.355
We were at the New South Gate 
of Shinjuku Station.

00:34:20.355 --> 00:34:23.046
It is different, so just be careful.

00:34:23.046 --> 00:34:24.973
South Gate is over there .

00:34:24.973 --> 00:34:29.146
But New South Gate is over there.

00:34:31.166 --> 00:34:34.758
The Penguin Square is just
behind this building.

00:34:34.758 --> 00:34:37.341
We came back to this square.

00:34:37.341 --> 00:34:40.970
This is the place we started filming.

00:34:40.970 --> 00:34:46.993
And this is the Shinjuku Station 
Shin-Minamiguchi, New South Gate.

00:34:46.993 --> 00:34:51.526
Yes, New South Gate and the 
South Gate is a different place.

00:34:51.526 --> 00:34:54.834
It's a bit confusing,
but please be careful

00:34:54.834 --> 00:34:59.543
if you are visiting this Penguin Square.

00:35:00.513 --> 00:35:03.545
Outside gets pretty dark now.

00:35:03.545 --> 00:35:08.532
We can see the beautiful spot 
of Shinjuku town from here.

00:35:08.532 --> 00:35:11.061
Compared to north part of Shinjuku,

00:35:11.061 --> 00:35:14.957
the south part of Shinjuku, more quiet.

00:35:14.957 --> 00:35:17.573
So, I like here.

00:35:18.233 --> 00:35:22.640
Also, the night scenery is beautiful, too.

00:35:24.229 --> 00:35:25.617
As you may realize,

00:35:25.617 --> 00:35:30.806
there are so many foods that you can 
eat less than 500 Japanese yen, too.

00:35:30.806 --> 00:35:33.077
Speaking of Japanese yen situation,

00:35:33.077 --> 00:35:38.688
as of 6th of November, I think it's 
because of the election of United States,

00:35:38.688 --> 00:35:42.814
right now, it's about $1 USD is 
154 Japanese yen.

00:35:42.814 --> 00:35:46.229
Yes, Japanese yen gets cheaper,
and I'm happy.

00:35:46.229 --> 00:35:49.024
But of course, there are really depends.

00:35:49.024 --> 00:35:54.341
Some industry will have the negative 
impact if Japanese yen is cheaper.

00:35:54.341 --> 00:36:00.322
But as you may realize, Japanese food 
and stuff right now, it's really cheap.

00:36:00.322 --> 00:36:04.187
Well, some travelers says 
it's ridiculously cheap.

00:36:04.187 --> 00:36:05.357
It's a good thing.

00:36:05.357 --> 00:36:09.224
But at the same time,
we have to think about it...

00:36:09.224 --> 00:36:14.994
if the food is cheap, that means there 
are so many people working for it

00:36:14.994 --> 00:36:17.422
with very thin profit.

00:36:17.422 --> 00:36:22.861
Because of the cultural thing in Japan, 
the inflation didn't come to Japan.

00:36:22.861 --> 00:36:26.770
So many other countries' price 
gets increased.

00:36:26.770 --> 00:36:29.257
But in Japan, just tiny.

00:36:29.257 --> 00:36:31.159
Well, it can be a good thing.

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:33.753
But one serious problem is that

00:36:33.753 --> 00:36:38.526
our average salary is not 
increasing neither.

00:36:38.526 --> 00:36:41.011
Well, you know, because the food 
doesn't increase,

00:36:41.011 --> 00:36:43.297
so the salary doesn't increase neither.

00:36:43.297 --> 00:36:45.998
But after Japanese yen get cheaper,

00:36:45.998 --> 00:36:50.339
finally, there are some inflations 
coming to Japan.

00:36:50.339 --> 00:36:52.981
Well, so I'm not sure if 
you remember or not.

00:36:52.981 --> 00:36:56.995
But whenever I talk about 
the inflation in Japan,

00:36:56.995 --> 00:36:59.359
I was a little bit happy to hear that.

00:36:59.359 --> 00:37:03.919
Of course, you know, if I can eat the
food with cheap price, it's good.

00:37:03.919 --> 00:37:06.369
But thinking about Japanese economy

00:37:06.369 --> 00:37:10.204
and the behind the people 
working for the thin profit,

00:37:10.204 --> 00:37:13.216
definitely, it's not that good.

00:37:13.216 --> 00:37:16.425
For these 20 years, compared 
to the other country,

00:37:16.425 --> 00:37:20.182
Japanese people's salary 
doesn't increase at all.

00:37:20.182 --> 00:37:24.610
Like, you know, the U.S. people's average 
salary is just climbing up.

00:37:24.610 --> 00:37:28.284
But Japanese economy is like this.

00:37:28.284 --> 00:37:32.340
So, I believe and I hope 
this inflation thing,

00:37:32.340 --> 00:37:34.311
it's good for Japanese people.

00:37:34.311 --> 00:37:38.430
That's also the reason why
I'm super happy that

00:37:38.430 --> 00:37:40.284
Japanese yen gets cheaper.

00:37:40.284 --> 00:37:43.637
Also, definitely, we can have 
more travelers.

00:37:43.637 --> 00:37:46.443
And travelers can enjoy Japan, too.

00:37:46.443 --> 00:37:48.006
That's also the reason.

00:37:48.006 --> 00:37:49.920
Well, it became a little bit longer.

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:53.260
But that's how I feel about 
Japanese yen situation.

00:37:53.260 --> 00:37:54.630
It's 6th of November.

00:37:54.630 --> 00:37:59.000
However, in the States, it's 
not 6th of November yet.

00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.640
So, still, there is a president
election is going on.

00:38:02.640 --> 00:38:05.185
I'm not sure which candidate will win.

00:38:05.185 --> 00:38:08.577
But hopefully, we can have 
a peaceful world.

00:38:08.577 --> 00:38:11.283
So that we can travel and 
enjoy the life more.

00:38:11.283 --> 00:38:13.071
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the video.
