hey guys! today we are in south part of Shinjuku Station.
it's a little bit cloudy today.
and the weather suddenly, it gets much cooler.
today it's 6th of November.
temperature, the highest is 17°C, lowest is 11°C.
Right now, it's 16°C.
Wind is 5 m/s, 72% humidity.
it might be raining.
We are at the penguin Square.
South part of Shinjuku, compared to north part Shinjuku,
it's really quiet.
we can enjoy the beautiful train view as well.
so we will start the tour from here, and we will come back later.
probably, it will get darker.
in nighttime, this place becomes more beautiful.
so in this video,
I will introduce good and cheap Japanese chain restaurant,
which you can eat less than $5 USD.
Yes, less than 5.
however the taste is pretty good too.
also I will introduce the Shinjuku town too.
so hope this video will help for your next Japan trip.
Oh, by the way...
Hey guys! Welcome back to Rion's TV!
I'm Rion. Seeno... Gao!!
please check my Instagram too.
all right, so let's keep walking. let's go!
so the first restaurant located in east part of Shinjuku.
let's keep walking.
by the way...
if you're using the express bus or airport express bus,
Busta Shinjuku locates over here.
so just remember the South exit.
Express first terminal locates beside the department store.
so pretty much you can buy everything.
souvenir, Bento... Or even the sweets as well.
and this is the takashimaya Times Square.
the takashimaya is really popular department store in Japan.
they have one of the cleanest restroom in Shinjuku.
this is the second floor.
we gotta going down to the first floor.
since it's windy today feels much cooler.
as you guys know this year's Japan weather is totally weird.
yes it's much hotter compared to the usual Year.
my original plan was visting Nikko today
for watching the beautiful autumn leaves at the niiko.
however when I check the official website of them,
still it's not fully change the color yet,
which is totally weird.
because in the regular season, already, they change the color.
so that's why I Chang my plan.
and probably we'll visit there next week or two weeks from now.
some part of Nikko already tree color has changed
but not in the main color.
so I think we'd better wait.
now we are heading to Shinjuku National garden areas
we turn right over here and keep straight.
it becomes the backstreet.
there is McDonald's.
and also capsule hotel too.
compared to the East part of Shinjuku, it's not that convenient.
however, I believe price is cheaper.
haven't tried here, but seems like the price is pretty good.
Ten hours 4,000 Japanese yen.
there is a free morning Curry.
and also the dinner as well.
after 5:00 p.m. really? it's all-you-can-drink alcohol.
seems like there is a nice artificial hot spring inside.
and also the capsule floor.
oh interesting.
but unfortunately it's only for men only though.
maybe if you want to save money you can try here.
for the backpackers, I think it would be a good option I believe.
so the first good and cheap restaurant,
located just over there at the corner,
which is really famous one in the world.
All right, here we go. We can see from here.
yes it's Yoshinoya.
Yoshinoya, needless to explain,
it's a good and cheap beef bowl restaurant.
in Yoshinoya, you can eat the beef bowl with only 500 Japanese Yen.
Thinking about 1 US dollar is about 153 Japanese yen right now...
even you can eat this omurice curry with beef, including tax,
it costs a little bit over $5 USD.
but thinking about the quality, it's pretty good.
if you spend $6 USD,
even you can have this sukiyaki set menu items.
probably it never happens in most of the countries.
the next restaurant we can see from here.
yes it locates just over there, Sukiya.
Sukiya is also a beef bowl restaurant.
it is not as popular as Yoshinoya
however it's pretty popular in Japan.
opens 24/7 as well.
if you come over here during the lunchtime,
you can this beef bowl set menu items
as cheap as 580 Japanese yen, which is less than $5 USD.
Sukiya also has the sukiyaki set menu items.
if you spend $6 USD, which is 890 Japanese Yen,
you can eat sukiyaki set menu items.
my recommendation is their cheese gyudon,
which is the beef bowl with cheese.
it comes with Tabasco.
so if you like something spicy, you can always eat with Tabasco.
Tastes like, you know, pizza mixed with beef bowl.
If you like the pizza taste probably you will like it.
price is only 620 Japanese Yen.
if you order it, ask them for tsuyudaku, which is the extra soup.
you can order it for free as well.
yes!
usually, those beef bowl restaurant, you can add extra soup for free.
you can ask them, "Tsuyudaku de."
yes it is a magical word.
let's keep walking.
well it is not the restaurant.
but also, IKEA... I recommend their food as well.
this is not the regular IKEA.
in the big city, they have a smaller version.
still, we have dining inside, but it's much smaller.
oh wait.
they usually sells the soft serve.
but I think it becomes winter.
so I'm not sure. let me see
Oh, yeah. Still, they are selling the soft serve
with only 50 Japanese yen.
yes, even you don't buy any furniture, you can still buy it.
And also, hot dog is only 100 Japanese Yen.
plus...
and also the drink bar is only 190 Japanese yen.
place to eat it's kind of small.
but it's pretty cheap as well.
they already start selling the Christmas tree.
yep the Christmas season is coming!
Ho, ho, ho!
Yes! So, let's keep walking!
after passing IKEA, Shinjuku Gyoen is just over there.
Shinjuku Gyoen is a huge Park located in center of Shinjuku.
it's a paid Park.
so compared to other regular parks, it's a bit different.
it costs 500 Japanese yen to enter.
however if you are for 15 years old and under, it will be free.
and if you have 60 years old and over, it only costs 250 Japanese yen.
so is the student.
there are many people waiting in front of the ticket counter.
however if you have a train IC card,
you can use the train IC card, so that you don't have to be in line.
I have an annual passport, so it becomes free.
they're selling the annual pass for 2,000 Japanese yen.
so if you come more than four times here in the year,
I recommend you to get the annual pass.
one thing we have to be careful...
most of the park in Japan,
it's a public place so you can drink alcohol.
but this kind of paid Park, you can't drink alcohol.
during Autumn season this place changed the color.
and it becomes beautiful.
however since this year, it was hot,
so still they hasn't changed the color yet.
some trees are changing color a little bit but not that much.
so we can come back in the future.
let's go to the next spot.
we came back to the corner of IKEA.
we are heading to North part of Shinjuku.
we are at Shinjuku-sanchome Station.
beside this station, Suehiro Dori/ Suehiro Street will start.
In this Suehiro street, it becomes the backstreet.
there are so many local drinking restaurants.
it's not like the less than $5 USD restaurants.
however compared to the other drinking place,
usually it's cheaper.
during the nighttime, there will be so many locals drinking around here.
so it will be an interesting street for travelers too.
There is a rakugo house in the backstreet.
rakugo is a traditional entertainment in Japan.
it's a bit different.
but it's like you know standup comedy in other country.
we sit down though.
entrance fee costs 3,000 Japanese yen.
but if you don't understand Japanese, it is a verbal entertainment
so probably you cannot enjoy it.
you can enjoy the traditional atmosphere though.
but maybe from the outside,
I think it's enough if you don't understand Japanese.
and drinking restaurants continues.
it's just too early time for this street.
so many store is closing.
let's go back to the main street.
and another good and cheap restaurant over here.
it's a small restaurant but a really popular one.
Fuji Soba opens 24 hours as well.
seems like they are having collab with Ryu Ga Gotoku now.
you can eat the cutlet curry with 680 Japanese yen,
which is less than $5 USD.
Also, the ramen, 530 Japanese Yen and 580 Japanese Yen.
those of them even cheaper than $4 USD.
whenever I want to have a quick meal with cheaper price,
I usually come over to Fuji Soba and eating soba.
to be honest the food quality is not that high.
but there are two big positive things
one, price is really cheap.
and two, they serve it really quick.
if you order soba, you know, they can serve less than a minute.
so if you want to have a quick meal,
definitely this place is recommended.
you can eat plain soba with only 420 Japanese Yen.
so let's go to the next spot
by the way...
there is another Fuji Soba.
yes there are so many Fuji Soba in Tokyo.
now we are at one of the main street of Shinjuku.
if we keep straight we enter to the Kabukicho
beside this street, there is a shrine, Hanazono Jinja.
it's located in Shinjuku.
right next to the Shinjuku-sanchome Golden Gai/Golden Street.
Golden Street is very interesting spot to visit.
but also, this Hanazono Shrine, during the festival time,
it becomes really interesting as well.
so don't forget to visit here too.
all right so let's go back to the main street.
next to the shine,
there is one of my favorite restaurants, Bikkuri Donkey,
which is a hamburg steak chain restaurant
compared to less than $5 USD restaurants, it's a bit expensive.
however if you like Hamburg steak,
and also ready to spend money a little bit more,
definitely this Bikkuri Donkey restaurant, I recommend.
when you see this corner you can just turn right.
the Golden Street entrance is just over there.
in this street there are many tiny drinking restaurants.
so for travelers it is very very interesting spot.
now it's very quiet.
however when it becomes nighttime,
this Place becomes so many people.
maybe not visiting here with kids.
but uh one of the interesting spot in Shinjuku like kabukicho.
that street called Golden Gai.
"Gai" means usually "town." But in that case, it means "street."
and here another less than $5 restaurant, Saizeriya.
it's a Japanese Italian restaurant.
their Doria with meat sauce only 300 Japanese yen.
and the small regular pizza it's 400 Japanese yen.
to be honest, if you just only order this Doria. it's not enough.
but if you order even this doria and pizza, 700 Japanese yen
so it's almost $5 USD.
they have a pasta too.
this shrimp with spicy cod roe sauce, 540 Japanese yen.
and mushroom with spinach cream sauce, 600 Japanese yen.
They also have hamburg steak, only 400 Japanese yen.
of course compared to the Bikkuri Donkey quality, it's different.
however the price is totally different too.
one thing you have to be careful,
since it's pretty good and cheap,
so always crowded and noisy,
especially in this Shinjuku Station's place.
so if you want to eat quietly,
definitely this is not the place to come though.
but it's the chain restaurant.
if you visit in the quiet town,
some Saizeriya much fewer people, and also, quiet as well.
so in that place I recommend
But maybe not in the crowded place though.
now we are getting closer to the entrance of Kabukicho Godzilla Street.
so there are more and more people on the street.
Don Quijote is over here.
after turn right on this corner there's Kabukicho.
here we go.
we are at Godzilla Central Street.
there is a good and cheap restaurant in Kabukicho too.
let me introduce.
oh wait
this Don Quijote...
they now have the new claw machines, huh.
I didn't know that.
oh my goodness that's so cute!
so many Donpen mascot!
it's the character of Don Quijote.
oh look at this one!
we can place the eye drops.
you know, since I always mistakenly wash my eye drops
at the washing machine
so let's try it.
seems like that blue one we can get it
price is 100 Japanese for one time
let's do it!
yep seems like it's an easy job.
all right 3 2 1 let's go!
[GASPS] I think it's perfect!
can we?
Nooooo...
I need to break the coin.
well I tried to break the coin.
but there is no coin breaking machine.
and there is a long line in front of the cashier
so maybe next time we can try.
It's okay. let's keep walking.
oh wait seems like the Godzilla show just started
[CHUCKLES]
yep there is a Godzilla show Once in a while.
it's fun to watch, however, it's a small show.
so maybe you know you don't have to wait that long.
if you find that show is on you can enjoy it.
but not like the super entertaining show though.
so the next spot is Ringer Hut.
it's a Nagasaki champon noodle with so many veggies.
price is 800 Japanese y so it's a bit more than $5 USD.
but it's my favorite restaurant too
I especially like this sara udon.
there is crispy Noodle and so many veggies on top.
price is 850 Japanese yen.
it's the chain restaurant
you can find in many places.
yep one of my favorite restaurant
next to ringer hut, there is Gindako.
the regular takoyaki is 580 Japanese yen.
it's pretty good too.
compared to Osaka takoyaki, it's a little bit crispy.
a bit different but it tastes pretty good too.
now we are at toyoko.
Kabukicho Tower is just over there.
this place used to be a very chaotic place.
but now it becomes much cleaner.
let's walk to the Kabukicho Tower.
since it's a weekday,
and there are not that many people on the street
so probably Kabukicho Tower really few people inside I believe.
there's a Starbucks in front of Kabukicho tower.
usually many people sitting down over here
and drinking Starbucks.
but uh today not that many people over here though.
it getting cold so maybe that's the reason why.
in the warm day, it was a perfect spot to take a rest though.
they usually have many different kinds of event on the weekend.
but today since it's a week day,
probably no event is going on.
oh actually there are more people than I thought.
when I come over here during September,
there were really fewer people.
but seems like today still there are Travelers over here
even on the weekday
how about in the second floor?
in the second floor there is a nice game center.
so many claw machines with games
since we don't have a casino in Japan,
so this game center is like the you know Casino entertainment spot
oh wait. now it becomes Pokémon.
and also Dragon Ball Shenron.
really?
And also, price gets cheaper, 180 Japanese yen for a play.
we can play it with train IC card.
let's do it!
so there is a button.
I just need to hold, and there's the scissors.
if I cut the line over there I win.
so let's do it!
hope I can do better this time
Hai!
how about it?
Nooooo...
[LAUGHS]
My Shenron!
well claw machine sometimes I win when I'm lucky.
but this line cut machine I can never win.
So...
Maybe next time, and one day, maybe I can win.
oh, Nika is here.
but this kind of claw machine is so hard to win.
so... maybe next time.
Ooh, the Joker here.
Time for the Joker dance.
there is a VR Godzilla ride, but seems like it's not that busy today.
there is drinking bar at the corner now we have more taono over here and also the new machine I believe that's a shooting game
and the chair will
move that must be a fun game and so many
different kinds of racing game about
here nice let's go to the next
spot so the next spot it's right front
of kabuko tower it's
hakaya oh there m Ramen is back it's a
little bit spicy Ramen it's interesting
inside price is 6 73 Japanese almost $5
us if you order the fried rice it's only
464
and 528
Japanese it's limited one why not let's
try so let's sit down in the corner we
can all by the
[Music]
panel and ramen
Li oh yeah here we
go 740
Japanese with kza
990 and hcha
990 yeah let's eat with
ch
perfect on the table there are many seas
so you can always change the taste too
beer is only 350 Japanese and too why
not let's
compy here we go it arrives so this is a
spicy interesting Ramen and also fried
rice CH all right here we go the beer
has arrived too so
see and also
[Music]
it looks much Spicer than how it looks
like that's something what I
remember the noodle itself is okay
however with this noodle soup mixed with
this CH fried rice perfect that's
something like that so if you order this
I recommend you to order with the bright
rice though
[Music]
well compared to the ich the quality is
of course different however thinking
about the price yeah I like
it spicy this spicy noodle is okay but
yeah the one thing that I love is mix
the
soup eat the fried rice with interesting
[Music]
speaking of the intestine usually
intestine has the oran smell however
inside this noodle it doesn't taste
smelly at all so the interesting with
the organ smell I don't really like it
but without organ smell this chewy
intestine loveing
it especially perfect with beer
[Music]
price is 1,340 Japanese to be honest if
you just atat the chah which is the
fried rice or dumpling
GZA I recommend you to try the oo which
is a different chain restaurants however
that spicy industri Ramen with fried
rice definitely I recommend it that's
spicy though if you love interesting
which is Motu definitely you can try by
the way indust in Japanese called Motu M
yes you got it so now let's go to the
next spot we are in front of un Vision
this is one of the signature spot in
Shinjuku we are heading to the
underground in
saard you can just going downstairs by
the way this is the place in front of
kabuko ichibangai entrance oh my
goodness it's so crowded as always it's
one with the picture spot but also it's
a small streets so that's why so let's
going down to the underground
town and underground it is the saard
there are several restaurants that I
recommend the first one it's
tonat deep fried po cutlet
speaking of the
price it's more than $5 us however
thinking about the quality definitely it
worth it for example this dish comes
with manatu deep fried shrimp eggplant
and also the pork cutlet chaam Mushi
which is a Japanese SL pudding pickled
veggie sweets rice and the Mis soup rice
and Mis soup and the Cabbage all you can
eat price is only 1,680 Japanese this
big pork cutlet with radish daon Ori
1,980 Japanese 2 compared to the fast
food restaurant food quality is
different so thinking about the price
and the quality I definitely recommend
this restaurant also behind the
restaurant there is neishi which is a
beef Town Restaurant set menu items is
about 1,500 to 2,000 Japanese y however
the quality is pretty good too the rice
is a bit different it's a Mugi meshy
baret rice comes with yum so you can mix
this yum with this rice tastes pretty
good it's healthy too so if you like fif
town I recommend this as well let's go
to the
[Music]
upstairs oh the outside gets pretty dark
we are heading to West part of shinuk
now this spot also so iconic spot of
Shinjuku after cross this train truck
next spot is over there so the next
restaurant is
Batya it's also one of the really
popular beef ball
restaurants beef ball is only 430
Japanese Yen if you eat inside it comes
with Mis soup but my recommendation is
curry thinking about it's beef ball
restaurant their Curry tastes pretty
good and so is the hamburger steak so
this hamburger steak Curry I recommend
it recently they start the big bow with
cheese however I think suia is better so
if you want to eat the beef bow with
cheese just go to suia it's just
different next to Maia there ISO Street
which is a really popular touristic spot
nice retro Street
continues but compared to the back
street thiso is more like you know spot
for
travelers so the atmosphere is a bit
different though next
to there are many discounted ticket
store I had the question where do change
the currency well definitely it's not
the airb because usually the commission
fee is more expensive usually those
discounted ticket store has the better
exchange rate so if you find those
discounted ticket store you can change
they usually accept most of the major
currency so maybe you can try to check
their rting most of the place have
better rate compared to the airport it
gets darker so more and more people on
the street now we at West part of
Shinjuku they are renewing the West part
of
Shinjuku now still the street is super
packed but after renewed it it will be
much better they are building the new
Street on top and now we can see the
complete street over here too that
street continues to the Shinjuku station
after they finish the
construction this west side of Shinjuku
will be really is PO for the
pedestrians it will be totally different
so I really look forward to
it
sweet I have two more restaurant that I
want to introduce in West P Shinjuku
Compared to North part of Shinjuku West
part of Shinjuku more quiet in West part
of Shinjuku there is a Yash CA which is
the really popular electric appliance
store in Japan
in front of Y
camera there are so many G
machines if you love G pH yes this is a
place that you can come so the
restaurant is behind this street it's
the street on gigo Game
Center there are so many salary mans
Works in Shinjuku West Side so there are
so many drinking place as well in this
street wait supposed to be around
here let me see sorry it's the next
street oh yeah supposed to be the street
next to it so we need to turn right on
the corner oh there's another hakaya and
yeah must be
here all right here we go this is the
place so this place called
sh they have a nice Japanese food with
fish all the fish comes with rice in the
M soup thinking about the quality and
the price one of the best and the best
point if you order T shaku you can order
the beer with 150 Japanese Yen for the
second one also 150 Japanese Yen too my
recommendation it's salmon har tesu
salmon belly tesu comes with rice in the
M soup order with beer yep that would be
the perfect menu if you want to eat the
lunch by yourself speaking of shat shock
though recently it gets really popular
and we have so many sha sh in many
places even in shinuk too in other
station as well so if you like the grill
fish T shaku definitely I recommend it
especially if you drink beer thinking
about the price eventually it become
cheaper so good place and the next spot
is just over there
yes it's right over there it's the TAT
restaurant Katsuya their cutlet bowl is
only 50090 Japanese y however I
recommend the cat car which is the curry
with pork cutlet it only cost 730
Japanese y compared to Wako which is a
that expensive po restaurant of course
the quality is different however
thinking about the price definitely I
recommend it for me whenever I want eat
quietly with my friend in the restaurant
I always use the wle but whenever I make
the two go food for the for cutlet I use
the Katsuya especially for the cutlet
Curry if you want to save money and that
you want to make it to go maybe you want
to bring back to the hotel because you
are tired maybe you can use this catsa
to go yes definitely I recommend it so
we are almost at South exit of Shinjuku
station it's almost the rush hour time
so this sh station is getting crowded as
always usually in the street there are
many street performers but seems like
still no one has started yet this is the
south gate of Shinjuku station we were
at the new South Gate of Shinjuku
station it is different so just be
careful South Gate is over there but New
South Gate goad is over
there the penguin square is just behind
this building we came back to the square
this is the place we started
filming and this is the Shinjuku station
shim minamiguchi New South Gate yes new
South Gate and the south gate is a
different place it's a bit confusing but
please be careful if you visting this
green
square outside gets pretty dark now we
can see the beautiful spot of Shinjuku
town from
here compared to North part of Shinjuku
this South part of Shinjuku more
quiet so I like
here also the night scenery is beautiful
too as you may realize there are so many
foods that you can eat less than 500
Japanese y too speaking of Japanese Yen
situation as of 6 of November I think
it's because of the election of United
States right now it's about $1 us is 154
Japanese Yen yes Japanese Yen gets
cheaper and I'm happy but of course
there are really depends some industry
will have the negative impact if
Japanese Y is cheaper but as you may
realize Japanese food and Stu
right now it's really cheap well some
Travelers says it's ridiculously cheap
it's a good thing but at the same time
we have to think about it if the food is
cheap that means there are so many
people working for it with very thin
profit because of the cultural thing in
Japan the inflation didn't come to Japan
so many other countries price gets
increased but in Japan just tiny well it
can be a good thing but one serious
problem is that our average salary is
not increasing neither well you know
because the food doesn't increase so the
salary doesn't increase neither but
after Japanese Yen get cheaper finally
there are some inflations coming to
Japan well so I'm not sure if you
remember or not but uh whenever I talk
about the inflation in Japan I was a
little bit happy to hear that of course
you know if I can eat the food with
cheap price it's good but thinking about
Japanese economy and behind the people
working for the them profit definitely
it's not that good for this 20 years
compared to the other country Japanese
people's salary doesn't increase at all
like you know the United States people's
average salary is just climbing up but
Japanese economy is like this so I
believe and I hope this inflation thing
it's good for Japanese people that's
also the reason why I'm super happy that
Japanese Yen gets cheaper also
definitely we can have more Travelers
and if Travelers can enjoy Japan too
that's also the reason well it became a
little bit longer but that's how I feel
about Japanese young situation it's 6th
of November however in the states it's
not six of November yet so still there
is a president election is going on I'm
not sure which candidate will win but
hopefully we can have a peaceful world
so that we can travel and enjoy the life
