-
0:00 - 0:03[MUSIC]
-
0:21 - 0:25Hey guys! Today, we are in
Tokyo Metro Roppongi Station. -
0:25 - 0:28We are heading to the new teamLab today.
-
0:28 - 0:33We have visited the teamLab in Odaiba,
and it was amazing. -
0:33 - 0:36So, new teamLab will be amazing as well.
-
0:36 - 0:38We still have time until the
reservation time. -
0:38 - 0:44So firstly, let's go to Roppongi Hills,
and let me show you Roppongi. -
0:44 - 0:49If you are heading to Roppongi Hills,
you need to use the Exit 3. -
0:50 - 0:52There is a sign in the station.
-
0:52 - 0:57By the way, if you are heading to
Tokyo Midtown, Exit 7 & 8. -
0:57 - 1:00That's a different exit though.
-
1:00 - 1:06If you are heading to the Mori Art
Museum, also, this is the way to go. -
1:06 - 1:09There is a coin locker in the station.
-
1:09 - 1:14However, seems like all the big
coin lockers are already occupied. -
1:14 - 1:18Smaller one is still available though.
But it's weekday. -
1:18 - 1:22So probably, on the weekend,
all of them will be occupied. -
1:25 - 1:30If you get out from the Exit 3,
this is how it looks like. -
1:30 - 1:32There's a Roppongi intersection.
-
1:32 - 1:36And if you are heading to the Mori Biru,
this is the way to go. -
1:36 - 1:40This is a signature spot of Roppongi.
Roppongi intersection. -
1:41 - 1:44There is a sign of Roppongi.
-
1:44 - 1:47Yes. One of the picture spot.
-
1:47 - 1:51By the way, Tokyo Midtown
is located in north part. -
1:51 - 1:57And also, Azabudai Hills, which is the
new teamLab, located in south. -
1:58 - 2:03You see the tall building in front
of you, next to the Tokyo Tower? -
2:03 - 2:06That's Azabudai Hills.
-
2:06 - 2:09That's the place we are heading to later.
-
2:09 - 2:14Firstly, let's walk toward to
Roppongi Hills. -
2:14 - 2:17Roppongi is one of the most popular
travel spot in Japan. -
2:17 - 2:22However, compared to Shinjuku and
Odaiba, it is a bit different. -
2:22 - 2:27Shinjuku and Shibuya, there are many
stores and restaurants. Also, buildings. -
2:27 - 2:32However, in Roppongi, there are several
very popular buildings. -
2:32 - 2:35And there are so many stores
inside the building. -
2:35 - 2:40But except that, there are only
restaurants and drinking bars. -
2:40 - 2:45So for me, Roppongi is more like
drinking place -
2:45 - 2:47with the fancy shopping street.
-
2:47 - 2:51Entrance of Roppongi Hills,
this is the way to go. -
2:51 - 2:53There is an elevator, too.
-
2:53 - 2:57So even you are with luggage,
you don't have to worry. -
2:58 - 3:02And yes, that's Roppongi Hills.
-
3:02 - 3:06Speaking of Roppongi Hills, Mori Biru,
it is an office building. -
3:06 - 3:11There are many finance, IT,
and gaming company inside. -
3:11 - 3:15By the way, today, what a beautiful day!
-
3:15 - 3:21Today, 23rd of July, 34°C
and 61% humidity. -
3:22 - 3:25It's a super hot day.
And also, humid as well. -
3:25 - 3:27So already, I sweat a lot.
-
3:27 - 3:30But today, there are many wind,
so feels much better though. -
3:30 - 3:31Oh, by the way...
-
3:31 - 3:32Hey guys!
Welcome back to Rion's TV! -
3:32 - 3:34I'm Rion. Seeno... Gao!!
-
3:34 - 3:36Please don't forget to
check my Instagram, too. -
3:36 - 3:38All right, so let's keep walking!
-
3:38 - 3:42Also, there is a water mist,
so feels much cooler. -
3:45 - 3:49If you are heading to the
Mori Art Museum, Observatory, -
3:49 - 3:52also the cinemas, this is the way to go.
-
3:52 - 3:55Oh, there's a Doraemon!
-
3:55 - 3:57It is a very popular anime in Japan.
-
3:57 - 4:02Yeah, I believe whoever grew up in Japan,
grew up with this anime, Doraemon. -
4:02 - 4:08And it's one of the signature spot
of Roppongi—the spider. -
4:08 - 4:11Also... Ooh! Look at that!
-
4:11 - 4:12I totally didn't realize...
-
4:12 - 4:15There are so many Doraemons here.
-
4:15 - 4:19Maybe they are doing some
anniversary of Doraemon. -
4:19 - 4:22Haha... So cute.
-
4:22 - 4:28Haha... Usually, this spider sculpture is
the most popular picture spot -
4:28 - 4:29in Roppongi.
-
4:29 - 4:33But seems like today,
Doraemon is more popular. -
4:33 - 4:36Anyways, let's keep walking.
-
4:36 - 4:38Oh, I see.
-
4:38 - 4:42So today, seems like they are having
TV station's summer festival. -
4:42 - 4:46That's the reason why so
many Doraemons is here. -
4:46 - 4:48No wonder.
-
4:49 - 4:56If you are heading to the Mori Art Museum
or Observatory, there is the entrance. -
4:56 - 5:02Speaking of Observatory, entrance fee
costs 1,800 Japanese yen. -
5:02 - 5:05You can see the nice view from there.
-
5:05 - 5:09Oh, seems like they are having
the Monster Hunter event. -
5:10 - 5:13We can see Azabudai Hills from here.
-
5:13 - 5:18It looks super close,
but little bit far though. -
5:18 - 5:22Today, we don't have ticket,
so we can enter until here. -
5:22 - 5:24In the busy season, there's a line.
-
5:24 - 5:28But seems like today,
not that many people here. -
5:28 - 5:30Oh, what's that?
-
5:30 - 5:34Seems like there is a temporary new store.
-
5:34 - 5:36That's a beer stand.
-
5:36 - 5:39There are so many cute Doraemon food.
-
5:39 - 5:46And also, there are many interesting
pro wrestling, "pro resu," food. -
5:46 - 5:51There are tatami and, also, many tables.
-
5:51 - 5:52Very nice atmosphere.
-
5:52 - 5:56And this place, because of AC,
feels much cooler. -
5:56 - 5:58Let's go inside.
-
5:58 - 6:05Inside, there are many luxury shopping
place and nice atmosphere. -
6:05 - 6:09I'm not a big shopping person, so...
-
6:09 - 6:11Let's go to the next spot.
-
6:11 - 6:12Ah, interesting.
-
6:12 - 6:15They are having the burger festival.
-
6:15 - 6:18There are so many different
kinds of burgers. -
6:18 - 6:22Look at this wagyu 100% burger.
That looks good. -
6:22 - 6:25And with beef patti. Looks good, too.
-
6:25 - 6:29The price is good, too,
3,800 Japanese yen. -
6:29 - 6:32Oh, really? They have the uni burger.
[CHUCKLES] -
6:33 - 6:35I'm not sure about the taste though.
-
6:35 - 6:38And I guess this is the
most unique burger. -
6:38 - 6:42It's a Summer French Burger.
[CHUCKLES] -
6:42 - 6:43Interesting.
-
6:44 - 6:49Oh, they are also having the burger
festival in Azabudai Hills, too. -
6:49 - 6:54This A5 wagyu steak burger with truffle,
3,800 Japanese yen. -
6:54 - 6:56That sounds interesting as well.
-
6:56 - 7:02However, already, we spent 4,000
Japanese yen for the teamLab ticket. -
7:02 - 7:05So... It is just too fancy for today.
-
7:05 - 7:08Maybe next time.
-
7:08 - 7:10Let's keep walking.
-
7:10 - 7:15Except the shopping place,
there is a nice park here. -
7:15 - 7:17It's the Mori Garden.
-
7:17 - 7:22By the way, "garden" in Japanese, "teien."
-
7:22 - 7:24It's the fancy park.
-
7:26 - 7:29For Mori Garden, we can
just follow the sign. -
7:29 - 7:33It's located in basement floor.
-
7:33 - 7:37Oh, sweet. Here's another Doraemon here.
-
7:37 - 7:39I said it's in the basement floor.
-
7:39 - 7:45But, it is the...
Basically, the ground level. -
7:45 - 7:51You know, these kind of places, always
the level of the floor, confusing. -
7:51 - 7:57This Mori Garden named after the
astronaut Dr. Mamoru Mohri. -
7:57 - 8:00There is space medaka (killifish) here.
-
8:00 - 8:05By the way, "space" in Japanese
called "uchu." -
8:05 - 8:09Well, I always try to find
the space medaka here. -
8:09 - 8:12But always, they're hiding pretty well.
-
8:12 - 8:16So, I can never find them. [CHUCKLES]
-
8:16 - 8:19Well, even though without medaka,
-
8:19 - 8:24this place's atmosphere, pretty nice,
so I like this place. -
8:24 - 8:28And here, there is a TV Asahi building.
-
8:28 - 8:32It is one of the biggest
TV station in Japan. -
8:32 - 8:37Okay, seems like they have the
summer festival around here. -
8:37 - 8:40Oh, inside, there is a beer garden.
-
8:40 - 8:45But probably, I can't film inside,
so maybe next time though. -
8:45 - 8:48By the way, they have the beer
with 400 Japanese yen. -
8:48 - 8:51Compared to other place,
it's a nice price, huh. -
8:51 - 8:56Let me introduce Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
-
8:56 - 9:02From Roppongi Hills to Tokyo Midtown,
it takes about 10 minutes by walking. -
9:02 - 9:05So, let's keep walking.
-
9:05 - 9:08Since there are so many tall buildings
in Roppongi, -
9:08 - 9:13in the backstreet, there are
strong wind with many shades. -
9:13 - 9:16So, it's much easier to walk.
-
9:16 - 9:21Well, I'm not sure maybe because of
there are so many tall buildings, -
9:21 - 9:25or maybe because it's just a windy day.
[CHUCKLES] -
9:25 - 9:28But feels much cooler,
and feels much better. -
9:28 - 9:31I love this kind of day.
-
9:31 - 9:34Now, we are walking back
toward to the intersection. -
9:34 - 9:36That's where we were.
-
9:36 - 9:39And this is the street
next to the main street. -
9:39 - 9:41So, if you want to walk this street,
-
9:41 - 9:45just go to the one street away
of the main street. -
9:45 - 9:49Now, we came back to the station entrance.
-
9:49 - 9:52And intersection is over there.
-
9:52 - 9:57From Roppongi intersection,
we need to walk north. -
9:57 - 10:02From this side, there is a sculpture
with Roppongi sign. -
10:02 - 10:08And also, you can see the Mori Biru.
So, maybe better picture spot. -
10:08 - 10:09Speaking of Roppongi area,
-
10:09 - 10:13basically, all the restaurants
are expensive. -
10:13 - 10:16However, if you come to this street,
-
10:16 - 10:19there are many cheaper
chain restaurants as well. -
10:19 - 10:23For example, this place, you can eat
the soba with tempura -
10:23 - 10:26as cheap as 480 Japanese yen.
-
10:26 - 10:31And 630 Japanese yen for
soba and tempura bowl. -
10:31 - 10:36If you want to have the shrimp tempura,
it's 790 Japanese yen. -
10:36 - 10:39Still, I think it's a pretty good price.
-
10:39 - 10:42Also, there is Hidakaya,
-
10:42 - 10:45which is a really popular Chinese food
chain restaurant. -
10:45 - 10:49They have Chinese food with
very reasonable price. -
10:49 - 10:52Plus, beef bowl restaurant, Matsuya.
-
10:52 - 10:54It's like Yoshinoya.
-
10:54 - 10:58And here is another exit of Roppongi.
-
10:58 - 11:02And we arrived to the
Tokyo Midtown building. -
11:02 - 11:07Basically, it's a fancy shopping street
like Roppongi Hills. -
11:07 - 11:10But this place, they have a bigger park.
-
11:10 - 11:14So, I like this area better.
-
11:14 - 11:17In downstairs, there are
many restaurants as well. -
11:17 - 11:23It has nice atmosphere with
nice bamboo tree. Sweet. -
11:23 - 11:27Well, to be honest, this shopping mall,
for me, it's just too fancy. -
11:27 - 11:33So, I always just come over here for
walking and enjoying the atmosphere. -
11:33 - 11:38Yep, look at this fountain. [CHUCKLES]
-
11:38 - 11:42Yes... It is something fancy.
-
11:43 - 11:46I saw there is some small event
in the garden. -
11:46 - 11:49So, let's walk in the garden.
-
11:50 - 11:53The entrance is right
next to the building. -
11:54 - 11:58Here we go... This is the entrance.
-
11:58 - 12:00During the Christmas season,
-
12:00 - 12:04this place lighted up with Christmas
lights very beautifully. -
12:04 - 12:09So, I love walking here
during winter as well. -
12:09 - 12:12Oh, there is something. Let's see.
-
12:13 - 12:18It is the Midtown Summer Ashimizu,
meaning the "footbath." -
12:18 - 12:23Wait, it said "Do not enter the stream,"
so is this not the one? -
12:23 - 12:25I'm not sure.
-
12:25 - 12:27Well, I don't know how it works.
-
12:27 - 12:32But maybe during the limited time,
maybe you can place the foot. -
12:32 - 12:34I don't know.
-
12:34 - 12:36It is very nice stream.
-
12:36 - 12:39But the board said, "Do not enter."
-
12:39 - 12:43So, maybe we need to come
back in certain time. -
12:43 - 12:46If you come over here on the weekend,
-
12:46 - 12:48usually, this place is super crowded.
-
12:48 - 12:52But on the weekday,
sometimes, it's crowded. -
12:52 - 12:55But maybe, recently, there are
fewer travelers in Japan. -
12:55 - 13:00So, that's the reason why
this place is so quiet. -
13:00 - 13:05During the wintertime, there is a
big ice skate rink over here. -
13:05 - 13:09But during the summertime,
it is the square. -
13:09 - 13:12Our teamLab entrance time from 6:30 p.m.
-
13:12 - 13:17So, let's start walking toward
to the Azabudai Hills. -
13:17 - 13:22Azabudai Hills we are heading to
is the building in front of you. -
13:22 - 13:26Yep... That's the one.
-
13:26 - 13:30Seems like this side of park,
there are more people though. -
13:30 - 13:33I didn't know there is a basketball court.
-
13:33 - 13:36Well, it looks like under
construction though. -
13:36 - 13:40Sound of cicadas and the sound of water.
-
13:40 - 13:43It is really peaceful place to walk.
I'm lovin' it! -
13:43 - 13:47We came back to the intersection
of Roppongi. -
13:47 - 13:50We are walking toward to south from now.
-
13:50 - 13:54Now, we are walking in the
main street of Roppongi. -
13:54 - 13:59In this street, there are many drinking
places and many restaurants as well. -
13:59 - 14:04There are several reasons why this
place is so popular for travelers. -
14:04 - 14:10Because, 1: This is a so-iconic spot
that you can see the Tokyo Tower. -
14:10 - 14:13So, you can take a nice photo.
-
14:13 - 14:18And, 2: Usually, this south part
of area of Tokyo... -
14:18 - 14:21In many restaurants, you can use English.
-
14:21 - 14:26This Minato-ku area, there is a big
English-speaking community here. -
14:26 - 14:31So, people whoever comes to Japan for work
who doesn't speak Japanese much, -
14:31 - 14:34usually, people live around here.
-
14:34 - 14:38There is a discounted store,
Don Quijote here, too. -
14:38 - 14:42Well, I said it is a really popular
area to live in Tokyo. -
14:42 - 14:48But at the same time, it is one of the
most expensive area to live in Tokyo. -
14:48 - 14:52Here we go. We are already in front
of the Azabudai Hills. -
14:52 - 14:57It took about 15 minutes by walking
from Roppongi intersection. -
14:57 - 14:58Last time when we were here,
-
14:58 - 15:03it was a time when this
Azabudai Hills just opened. -
15:03 - 15:06Still, there were many stores are
under construction. -
15:06 - 15:11However, it's been a while, so I believe
there will be many new stores. -
15:11 - 15:16Well, last time when I visit here,
there were so many people here. -
15:16 - 15:19But today, seems like not
that many though. -
15:19 - 15:23How about inside the building? Let's see.
-
15:24 - 15:27Let's go inside the building.
-
15:28 - 15:29Inside the building,
-
15:29 - 15:32it is pretty similar compared to
the other shopping malls. -
15:32 - 15:36Nice atmosphere with fancy shops.
-
15:36 - 15:43In the 4th floor...
There is a nice fancy bookstore. -
15:43 - 15:48So, if you love books, maybe
you can come over here. -
15:48 - 15:53There are some books with English,
but mostly, in Japanese though. -
15:54 - 15:57Haha, "Washoku." Interesting.
-
15:57 - 15:59There is a Famima.
-
15:59 - 16:03But this FamilyMart is a bit different
compared to the other place. -
16:03 - 16:08The one unique thing about here,
there is a free water refill bar. -
16:08 - 16:12And you can refill the
free sparkling water. -
16:12 - 16:17Yes... Free sparkling water! It's nice!
-
16:17 - 16:21They also sell the nuts by grams. Nice.
-
16:21 - 16:28Since it's a hot day, today, let's get
the Afternoon Tea frappuccino. -
16:28 - 16:29Oh, I didn't know that.
-
16:29 - 16:32This place, they will make it for us.
-
16:35 - 16:39Well, until 6:30 p.m.
still, we have time. -
16:39 - 16:42Let's go check the free observatory here.
-
16:42 - 16:48Let's go outside and drink the
royal milk tea frappuccino. -
16:49 - 16:54Oh, yeah. Last time when I visit here,
this place was still under construction. -
16:54 - 16:58However, now, it became much nicer.
-
16:58 - 17:01There are many free tables as well.
-
17:01 - 17:07Well, it is melting a little bit, but
it's a nice frappuccino usually. -
17:07 - 17:08And kanpai!
-
17:14 - 17:16Nice milk tea flavor with ice cream.
-
17:16 - 17:19And I think there is
chocolate chips inside. -
17:19 - 17:24So, feels like eating the milk tea
chocolate chip ice cream. -
17:24 - 17:26Well, the price is 350 Japanese yen.
-
17:26 - 17:30So, compared to the other café,
it's much cheaper so, I like it. -
17:32 - 17:34There are not that many people over here.
-
17:34 - 17:38And also, we can see the Tokyo Tower
beautifully from here, too. -
17:38 - 17:42Well, I usually don't come over to
this Azabudai Hills much. -
17:42 - 17:45But... Huh...
-
17:45 - 17:49I think this place is my new hidden spot.
-
17:49 - 17:51Well, it is a very popular spot.
-
17:51 - 17:54But, you know, since no one is here, so...
-
17:54 - 17:55It is a hidden spot.
-
17:56 - 17:57You know what I mean.
-
18:02 - 18:06Sweet. From here, we can see
the sunset beautifully. -
18:06 - 18:09Probably, we can have a better view
from the observatory. -
18:09 - 18:12So, let's go to the observatory.
-
18:12 - 18:15Last time when I was here,
it was closed. -
18:15 - 18:18And I couldn't go to the observatory.
-
18:18 - 18:21Hopefully, today, it is open though.
-
18:21 - 18:24You can enter from this office area.
-
18:24 - 18:28We can go from that elevator,
but I'm not sure today. -
18:28 - 18:33Oh, really? Now, we can't enter
the observatory. Let me see. -
18:33 - 18:39People who use the Dining 33, or
Sky Room Café & Bar, -
18:39 - 18:42or Dining 33 (patisserie) can enter.
-
18:42 - 18:45But if not, we can't enter.
-
18:45 - 18:49Oh, maybe we can try this
Sky Room Café & Bar. -
18:49 - 18:51We can have a cup of coffee.
-
18:51 - 18:52Let me see.
-
18:52 - 18:54So, it's going from there.
-
18:54 - 18:58Oh, so here, there's an explanation.
-
18:58 - 19:04Sky Room Café, oh, 500 Japanese yen
for the admission fee. -
19:04 - 19:05Plus, you need to pay for the drink.
-
19:05 - 19:10And I believe the drink is
expensive more. Huh... -
19:10 - 19:13Well, it's almost the time
for the teamLab. -
19:13 - 19:16So... Maybe next time.
-
19:16 - 19:17Haiyah...
-
19:17 - 19:22It used to be free, but now, they will
charge the admission fee. -
19:22 - 19:24However, compared to
the other observatory, -
19:24 - 19:27it is not like "observatory" observatory.
-
19:27 - 19:31So, it's more like, you know,
you can see the outside. -
19:31 - 19:34Probably, if you want to
have the nice view, -
19:34 - 19:38maybe you can try the Roppongi Hills
Observatory or Tokyo Tower. -
19:38 - 19:39Maybe that would be better.
-
19:39 - 19:44So, I assume teamLab [Borderless]
is in that building. -
19:44 - 19:47Let me see...
-
19:47 - 19:48Oh, wait. There is a sign.
-
19:48 - 19:51So, maybe we can just follow this sign.
-
19:51 - 19:55Yep, here we go. This is the one.
-
19:55 - 19:59Last time when we came here,
it was still under construction. -
19:59 - 20:02But I believe it's already done.
-
20:02 - 20:08So, Digital Art Museum...
Must be this way. -
20:08 - 20:12This place becomes the very
nice shopping street. -
20:12 - 20:17There are many restaurants.
And also, a cake shop. -
20:17 - 20:22Just keep straight, and
use the escalator over here. -
20:22 - 20:26Oh, yeah. There is a picture and sign.
-
20:27 - 20:33And seems like we need to
turn right over here. -
20:33 - 20:38And, oh! Here. This is the entrance.
-
20:38 - 20:44It's 6:16 p.m. but seems like
already we can enter. -
20:44 - 20:47All right... Let's enter the teamLab.
-
20:47 - 20:53Oh my goodness...
I love this entrance. Cool. -
20:54 - 20:57All right, so there's a locker.
-
20:57 - 21:01Yeah, I just want to place the backpack
because it's a little bit heavy. -
21:01 - 21:05Oh, nice. There is a place that
you can place the strollers. -
21:05 - 21:08And also, the big luggages like that.
-
21:08 - 21:11So, even you have a big luggage,
you don't have to worry. -
21:11 - 21:14And you don't have to pay for the locker.
-
21:14 - 21:16All right, so let's keep walking.
-
21:16 - 21:20Oh, wow. From here, already,
it gets super dark. -
21:20 - 21:22Seems like line is not moving.
-
21:22 - 21:25Let's time how long
it will take from here. -
21:25 - 21:27There is a teamLab app.
-
21:27 - 21:29You can see the explanation.
-
21:29 - 21:33And also, you can avoid
the line with this app. -
21:33 - 21:36I'm not sure how it works, but let's see.
-
21:36 - 21:40Oh, probably if I change my
phone language to English, -
21:40 - 21:44then, the teamLab app will
be in English, too. -
21:44 - 21:47Oh, yeah. It becomes in English.
-
21:47 - 21:50All right, seems like we are next.
-
21:50 - 21:54Until here, it takes only 5 minutes,
so not bad. -
21:54 - 21:58All right... Here we go. Let's go!
-
21:58 - 22:02[DIRECTIONS SPOKEN IN JAPANESE]
-
22:07 - 22:11All right, now, we are heading
to the next room. -
22:11 - 22:17It is pretty dark. But now, finally,
we see the lights here. -
22:18 - 22:19[WHISPERS] Oh, wow!
-
22:20 - 22:24This place, there are so
many beautiful flowers. -
22:24 - 22:27And also...
-
22:27 - 22:29Smells pretty good as well.
-
22:30 - 22:31Beautiful.
-
22:31 - 22:33And there's a photo spot, too.
-
22:34 - 22:37Let's keep walking. Gao!!
-
22:38 - 22:43So, in this area, there are
many beautiful flowers. -
22:43 - 22:46And also, nice smell.
-
22:46 - 22:51Feels like we are walking in
some different world. -
22:52 - 22:54Wow...
-
22:54 - 22:55Beautiful.
-
22:55 - 22:57Oh, wait.
-
22:57 - 22:59I just realized this is a mirror.
-
22:59 - 23:02I thought there is a place to go.
-
23:02 - 23:05Actually, this is the way to go.
-
23:05 - 23:10I assume this teamLab is not
as big as the Toyosu teamLab. -
23:10 - 23:15So probably, they try to show
more space by the mirrors. -
23:16 - 23:19Oh, sunflowers!
-
23:19 - 23:21My favorite flower.
-
23:21 - 23:25There are so many beautiful
butterflies as well. -
23:28 - 23:34By the way, "petals" in Japanese
called "hanabira." -
23:34 - 23:38Oh, now, they have the parade.
-
23:40 - 23:43Okay, so what do we have here?
-
23:43 - 23:44Haha, over here.
-
23:44 - 23:49This room, there are so many frog dancers.
-
23:51 - 23:53Smells different as well.
-
23:53 - 23:55What do we have in the next?
-
23:55 - 23:58Okay, so what is this place?
-
23:58 - 24:00Maybe we can use the app.
-
24:00 - 24:04So, the art over here:
"Crows are chased..." -
24:04 - 24:10"...and the chasing crows are destined
to be chased as well." -
24:10 - 24:11[CHUCKLES]
-
24:12 - 24:13Difficult.
-
24:13 - 24:14It is very beautiful.
-
24:14 - 24:19And also, again, this place smells
different as well. -
24:19 - 24:22So, how about in the next area?
-
24:23 - 24:27Oh, there is a new room here.
What is this? -
24:27 - 24:29Wow...
-
24:30 - 24:32Seems like there is a slope.
-
24:32 - 24:35And the kids are enjoying
playing over here. -
24:35 - 24:38It's a very beautiful area.
-
24:38 - 24:40And water...
-
24:40 - 24:44...comes down to my place as well.
-
24:44 - 24:48And going down to the other place.
-
24:48 - 24:51So, what's the title?
-
24:53 - 24:58It's "Universe of water particles on
a rock where people gather." -
24:58 - 25:04Oh... Now... It makes sense.
-
25:04 - 25:07Okay, so what else we have?
-
25:07 - 25:09What is this room?
-
25:09 - 25:12So, here, there are many animals.
-
25:12 - 25:15Well, one thing that I love about teamLab,
-
25:15 - 25:18each room has a different kind of smell.
-
25:18 - 25:21And I really enjoy the smell.
-
25:21 - 25:24So, that's one of the reason
why I like here. -
25:24 - 25:28This room's smell,
it's a little bit sweet. -
25:28 - 25:32And when you come to the water side,
-
25:32 - 25:37this place, it's more like
fresh, spicy smell. -
25:37 - 25:38Wow...
-
25:38 - 25:42Now, it totally became the waterfall.
-
25:42 - 25:43Wow...
-
25:45 - 25:48Okay, so what do we have in the next?
-
25:49 - 25:54Well, already, I am lost.
-
25:54 - 25:57This place, they always change the theme.
-
25:57 - 25:58So...
-
25:58 - 26:03I feel like I'm not sure if I came
over here already or not. -
26:03 - 26:06Yes, it is like the maze.
-
26:07 - 26:10All right, what do we have here?
-
26:11 - 26:12Oooh...
-
26:13 - 26:18This place smells very light smell.
-
26:18 - 26:20It is a fresh smell.
-
26:20 - 26:22Oh, here.
-
26:23 - 26:24Wow....
-
26:27 - 26:29Waterfalls.
-
26:29 - 26:34So far, I like this place the most.
-
26:35 - 26:39Well, feels like that I'm in
the different world. -
26:39 - 26:43Now, it becomes more and
more people over here. -
26:43 - 26:47All right, so let's go to the next spot.
-
26:51 - 26:57Oh, now, it starts raining again.
-
26:57 - 27:01The art title is "Infinite Crystal World."
-
27:02 - 27:06Okay, so... Let's go to the next one.
-
27:06 - 27:10Oh! Okay... So, we came back.
-
27:10 - 27:12Have we came back?
-
27:12 - 27:14I don't know.
-
27:14 - 27:16This place used to be the frog one.
-
27:16 - 27:23But now, it became a bunch
of animals and rabbits. -
27:23 - 27:24Okay...
-
27:25 - 27:28Let's follow where frog goes.
-
27:28 - 27:31Okay, what is this room?
-
27:31 - 27:34Oooh! This is the water place.
-
27:34 - 27:38So, we are in the same area and
the same aisle. -
27:38 - 27:39Well, it is pretty confusing.
-
27:39 - 27:42But in other worlds,
even in the same place, -
27:42 - 27:45we can enjoy it again and again.
-
27:45 - 27:46That's awesome.
-
27:46 - 27:51But I'm just wondering where else
we haven't gone yet. -
27:51 - 27:57Yeah, it's like I am in the huge maze.
-
27:58 - 28:01Okay, so seems like this is the new area.
-
28:02 - 28:04Ooh... There is a pole.
-
28:05 - 28:08And... I see.
-
28:08 - 28:10It is a slope as well.
-
28:10 - 28:14Yeah, this place, also,
it's like the maze. -
28:17 - 28:18Wow...
-
28:18 - 28:20Beautiful.
-
28:21 - 28:23After the maze...
-
28:24 - 28:27There is something over here.
-
28:29 - 28:32This place, also...
-
28:32 - 28:35It's like the maze as well.
-
28:36 - 28:40This floor has the very gentle smell.
-
28:42 - 28:48It is always hitting the legs,
so it is hard to walk. -
28:48 - 28:50Let's go to the next spot.
-
28:55 - 28:58Oh, what is this room?
-
28:58 - 28:59Interesting.
-
28:59 - 29:02You know that every room has a smell.
-
29:02 - 29:05However, only this room has no odor.
-
29:05 - 29:08I'm just wondering is it on purpose.
-
29:08 - 29:13Or the machine is just broken. [CHUCKLES]
-
29:13 - 29:15Oh, what is this place?
-
29:17 - 29:18Wow...
-
29:18 - 29:22This place, it's "Dissolving the flame."
-
29:22 - 29:25It's a very unique experience.
-
29:25 - 29:28It is very interesting.
-
29:33 - 29:36Okay, so what do we have here?
-
29:37 - 29:38Wow...
-
29:40 - 29:42That's amazing.
-
29:42 - 29:45And the next one, "Bubble Universe."
-
29:45 - 29:50Okay... Oh! So, we can enter
there, huh. Can we? -
29:50 - 29:52Yeah. Supposed to be.
-
29:55 - 29:56Wow...
-
30:00 - 30:04Wow. When we see the floors,
feels like... -
30:05 - 30:07...I'm in space.
-
30:09 - 30:11It is amazing.
-
30:17 - 30:20And what do we have here?
-
30:20 - 30:26I have no idea what this place is,
but it is something beautiful. -
30:27 - 30:30It says, "Microcosmoses."
-
30:31 - 30:32Okay...
-
30:33 - 30:34Wow...
-
30:37 - 30:41Feels like floor is moving.
-
30:47 - 30:51Now, it becomes the water area.
-
30:53 - 30:54Haha...
-
30:54 - 30:57Wait, I found Doraemon there.
-
30:57 - 30:58Oh, I see.
-
30:58 - 31:01So, people draw the picture over here.
-
31:01 - 31:05And... It will show up over here.
-
31:05 - 31:10So, that's why there are so
many cute characters. -
31:10 - 31:12Pikachu over there.
-
31:12 - 31:15And what else we can find?
-
31:15 - 31:18Haha, is it Hello Kitty?
-
31:18 - 31:21And Dragonball, Son Goku.
-
31:21 - 31:26That was water. But now,
it goes back to the rabbits. -
31:26 - 31:27All right, here.
-
31:27 - 31:32Seems like there is a tea house,
but it looks crowded. -
31:32 - 31:35So, maybe we can try it next time.
-
31:35 - 31:39And I guess this is the last stop.
-
31:39 - 31:43It's the quiet water area.
Smells different as well. -
31:43 - 31:47Oh, wait. We still had more.
-
31:48 - 31:52This place, it's the
"Reversible Rotation." -
31:53 - 31:57Well, I've been walking for a while
looking for the exit. -
31:57 - 31:59But I can't find it.
-
31:59 - 32:02Yeah, this place exactly is like the maze.
-
32:02 - 32:05Oh, wait. I just realized there is a sign.
-
32:05 - 32:07So, yeah. This is the way.
-
32:07 - 32:09All right, this must be the way.
-
32:10 - 32:11Here we go.
-
32:11 - 32:12Oh, look at that.
-
32:12 - 32:17"To have seen something, is to
not have seen something else." -
32:17 - 32:21"Nanika o mita to iu koto wa,
nanika o mi rarenakatta to iu kotoda." -
32:22 - 32:26And now, we came back here.
-
32:26 - 32:30So eventually, it took about
1 hour and 40 minutes. -
32:30 - 32:33It was much bigger
than what I thought. -
32:33 - 32:37Since we are here, let's walk
toward to Tokyo Tower. -
32:37 - 32:43Oh, outside, already,
it became totally dark. -
32:43 - 32:46Seems like they are having
some event over here. -
32:46 - 32:51Tokyo Tower is already lighted up, too.
-
32:51 - 32:53Let's keep walking toward to Tokyo Tower.
-
32:56 - 33:03From Azabudai Hills to Tokyo Tower,
if you walk, it only takes 10 minutes. -
33:03 - 33:08I'm starving, so let's find something
to eat in Tokyo Tower. -
33:08 - 33:13Oh, maybe that's the French Embassy
because the police are in front. -
33:13 - 33:15And I see the flag of France.
-
33:15 - 33:19I remember the movie of "Les Misérables."
-
33:19 - 33:21Or? La Miserable.
-
33:21 - 33:26Well, the title was complicated.
And also, it is hard to pronounce, so... -
33:27 - 33:30It's La Miserable-something.
-
33:31 - 33:36And Tokyo Tower is almost there.
-
33:36 - 33:38It's too hot here.
-
33:38 - 33:40I need to get a drink.
-
33:42 - 33:44Time for the coffee!
-
33:44 - 33:46Let's keep walking!
-
33:46 - 33:52The way to walk to Tokyo Tower from
Azabudai Hills, it is very simple. -
33:52 - 33:54You just need to keep straight.
-
33:54 - 33:57You will find many travelers around.
-
33:57 - 33:59Around here, there are not
that many tall buildings. -
33:59 - 34:04So, you can always find the Tokyo Tower.
-
34:04 - 34:07Already, we arrived to the Tokyo Tower.
-
34:07 - 34:10Oh! There is something over there.
-
34:10 - 34:11Let me see what they have.
-
34:11 - 34:14They have the Cho-Ten Highball Garden.
-
34:14 - 34:15[LAUGHS]
-
34:16 - 34:18Seems like it's a drinking bar.
-
34:18 - 34:22Highall is a really popular drink
in Japan. -
34:22 - 34:24It's basically whiskey with soda.
-
34:24 - 34:27And they have the set menu items as well.
-
34:27 - 34:33However, I can't drink whiskey,
so... Maybe next time. -
34:33 - 34:39I always love beer, but whiskey
and rum, I can't drink it. -
34:39 - 34:40Well, I don't know.
-
34:40 - 34:44But whenever I smell of
the whiskey or rum, -
34:44 - 34:48I feel like, you know,
that I want to vomit. -
34:48 - 34:50Does it make sense?
-
34:50 - 34:54Maybe if I drink more and more,
I will be okay. -
34:54 - 34:59But for now, yeah, I prefer beer
or other cocktails. -
34:59 - 35:00Here we go.
-
35:00 - 35:02We arrived to the Tokyo Tower.
-
35:02 - 35:07We are not going up today, but
there are restaurants over here. -
35:07 - 35:09So, maybe we can try restaurant.
-
35:09 - 35:11By the way if you want to go up,
-
35:11 - 35:15the ticket price costs 1,200 Japanese yen.
-
35:15 - 35:18Oh, there's a restaurant.
Let me see what they have. -
35:18 - 35:20Okay...
-
35:20 - 35:22Seems like they have a bento box.
-
35:22 - 35:26And also, some collab food.
-
35:27 - 35:32Spicy cod roe teriyaki pizza,
1,600 Japanese yen. -
35:32 - 35:34Okay...
-
35:34 - 35:37Oh, wait. It's already closed.
-
35:37 - 35:41We have more restaurants in the upstairs.
-
35:41 - 35:46In the second floor, it becomes like
the little small shopping mall. -
35:46 - 35:49There are many Tokyo Tower souvenirs.
-
35:49 - 35:54Oh, interesting. Now, hiyoko manju
has a salt taste. [CHUCKLES] -
35:54 - 35:56Wait, it says "Tokyo."
-
35:56 - 36:01But hiyoko manju is a very popular food
from Fukuoka, too. -
36:01 - 36:06My uncle always brought us the
hiyoko manju as a souvenir. -
36:06 - 36:10But somehow, now, we become a
hiyoko manju in Tokyo, too. -
36:10 - 36:13Maybe it is popular everywhere.
-
36:13 - 36:14[CHUCKLES]
-
36:14 - 36:16And...
-
36:16 - 36:23We got the Shiroi Koibito, Tokyo version.
"Tokyo no Koibito." [LAUGHS] -
36:23 - 36:28I think this one, the original one is
the "Shiroi Koibito" from Hokkaido. -
36:28 - 36:30Okay, so...
-
36:30 - 36:33Oh, that's a ramen restaurant.
-
36:33 - 36:35Tantanmen. That looks good.
-
36:35 - 36:40Tantanmen is a spicy ramen.
It's one of my favorite ramen. -
36:40 - 36:43And seems like that's Indian food.
-
36:43 - 36:48They have so many biryanis.
And also, curry as well. -
36:48 - 36:51Well, seems like inside the restaurant,
a little bit dark though. -
36:51 - 36:54There are many fast food
restaurants over here. -
36:54 - 36:56But seems like it's already closed.
-
36:56 - 36:59Pasta restaurant is closed.
-
36:59 - 37:01And what is this? Izakaya?
-
37:01 - 37:04Oh, still, seems like it's open though.
-
37:04 - 37:05Oh...
-
37:05 - 37:08They have soba and udon.
-
37:08 - 37:15Wait... Kake soba, the plain noodle
in hot soup, 1,300 Japanese yen. -
37:15 - 37:16Wow...
-
37:17 - 37:19Yeah...
-
37:19 - 37:21I feel like that I'm in a foreign country.
-
37:21 - 37:25Okay, today, let's try dandan noodle.
-
37:25 - 37:28Let's see if it's good or not.
-
37:28 - 37:31Let's eat it with the chashu pork.
-
37:31 - 37:33All right, let's eat here.
-
37:33 - 37:36Well, usually, this kind of ramen shop--
Oh, thank you. -
37:37 - 37:38Hai, arigato gozaimasu!
-
37:38 - 37:40All right, here we go.
That was pretty quick. -
37:40 - 37:44Well, one good thing about
this ramen shop is that -
37:44 - 37:49usually, ramen shop cannot use the
cashless payment or credit card. -
37:49 - 37:53However, this place, we could
use the cashless payment. -
37:53 - 37:56So, yeah. That's the Tokyo Tower
ramen restaurant. -
37:56 - 37:59So, here we go. That's dandan noodle.
-
37:59 - 38:01And it comes with rice.
-
38:01 - 38:05Oh my goodness, look at this chashu pork.
-
38:06 - 38:08It is huge!
-
38:08 - 38:11It looks super spicy.
-
38:11 - 38:17However, I ordered with the
Level 2 spiciness, so it must be okay. -
38:17 - 38:20Well, today, I am wearing
the white T-shirt. -
38:20 - 38:22So, I gotta be careful.
-
38:22 - 38:24Anyways, itadakimasu!
-
38:32 - 38:34It is a little bit spicy.
-
38:34 - 38:38Creamy spicy sauce perfectly matches
with ramen noodles. -
38:38 - 38:39I'm lovin' it!
-
38:46 - 38:50Also, this ramen noodle, it comes
with the huge chashu pork. -
38:50 - 38:51You know, thinking about the place,
-
38:51 - 38:54I thought we will get the
super small chashu pork. -
38:54 - 38:57Thinking about the price,
1,300 Japanese yen, -
38:57 - 39:01which is the same price
with that plain soba. -
39:01 - 39:02So, I didn't expect much.
-
39:02 - 39:06But we got the huge pork belly.
Itadakimasu! -
39:16 - 39:20Well, chashu pork, always good
with the spicy soup. -
39:20 - 39:21Lovin' it!
-
39:26 - 39:30And we still have big chashu pork.
Another one. -
39:37 - 39:42One of my favorite thing to do with
the dandan noodle soup is -
39:42 - 39:47rice, just dip into the soup, and eat it.
-
39:56 - 39:58I'm so full!
-
39:58 - 40:02Thinking about the place and price,
I think that's a good restaurant. -
40:02 - 40:04All right, so let's keep walking.
-
40:04 - 40:06There's a Lawson.
-
40:06 - 40:08Let's get café latte.
-
40:10 - 40:11Sweet.
-
40:11 - 40:13Let's keep walking.
-
40:13 - 40:15This place is crowded.
-
40:15 - 40:18So, let me introduce
my favorite hidden spot. -
40:18 - 40:21It's in the Zojo-ji.
-
40:21 - 40:26You can just go down the street.
And there is a temple. -
40:26 - 40:31By the way, you can take a photo of
Tokyo Tower from here beautifully, too. -
40:31 - 40:34Still, you need to keep straight.
-
40:34 - 40:39It became a little bit quiet street.
But, it's fine. -
40:39 - 40:44It's the temple. And there are
so many jizo over there. -
40:45 - 40:48If you're lucky, maybe
you can meet the ghost. -
40:48 - 40:50[RION HUMS EERIE TUNE]
-
40:51 - 40:53Well, I'm afraid of the ghost.
-
40:53 - 40:56But if I can film the ghost
in the real life, -
40:56 - 41:00I can be a millionaire, so... I take that.
-
41:00 - 41:01[RION HUMS EERIE TUNE AGAIN]
-
41:01 - 41:02[CHUCKLES]
-
41:02 - 41:07By the way, that's the sound from
The Twilight Zone of the Tower of Terror. -
41:07 - 41:09[RIONS HUMS "THE TWILIGHT ZONE" THEME]
-
41:10 - 41:14And we can enter from here.
-
41:14 - 41:17As I expected, no one is here
-
41:17 - 41:19in such a beautiful place though.
-
41:19 - 41:25You can see a beautiful temple
with the Tokyo Tower. -
41:25 - 41:32This scenery is so iconic of Japan,
Tokyo, so I like this place. -
41:32 - 41:34Speaking of the new teamLab,
-
41:34 - 41:40the entrance fee cost 4,000 Japanese yen,
which I think it is expensive. -
41:40 - 41:45Compared to the Toyosu teamLab,
Azabudai teamLab was amazing as well. -
41:45 - 41:49However, if you haven't visited
the Toyosu teamLab yet, -
41:49 - 41:53I definitely recommend you to go
to the Toyosu teamLab first. -
41:53 - 41:56Well, Azabudai Hills teamLab is big, too.
-
41:56 - 42:00But compared to the Toyosu teamLab,
I feel like a little bit smaller. -
42:00 - 42:03Also, the teamLab in Toyosu,
there was water. -
42:03 - 42:09And, you know, you can walk over there,
and you can enter to the water as well. -
42:09 - 42:11Well, until the knee though.
-
42:11 - 42:13Well, so maybe if you
don't want to get wet, -
42:13 - 42:16probably, you can go to
the Azabudai teamLab -
42:16 - 42:18because it's located in
a very useful place. -
42:18 - 42:20Right next to Roppongi.
-
42:20 - 42:23Anyways, either one, it was
the amazing experience. -
42:23 - 42:25So, if you visit Japan,
-
42:25 - 42:28maybe you can try the teamLab
[Borderless and Planets]. -
42:28 - 42:29Hope you enjoyed the video!
-
42:29 - 42:31There are more and more videos coming.
-
42:31 - 42:35I'm planning to going back to Osaka,
which is my hometown. -
42:35 - 42:38And then, planning to visit
Kyoto and Nara. -
42:38 - 42:40You know, those Kansai region as well.

42:56 - 42:57Seeno...
(Ready, set...) -
42:57 - 42:59Gaooo!!
(Lion roar in Japanese) -
42:59 - 43:02Have a great day! Bye-bye!
-
43:03 - 43:08This dozoji... Sorry, Zojoji.
It is hard to pronounce. -
43:08 - 43:12In the nighttime, it becomes really quiet.
-
43:13 - 43:17If you keep straight, there is a
Hamamatsucho Station. -
43:17 - 43:22So, if you are coming to Tokyo Tower
from Hamamatsucho Station, -
43:22 - 43:26you will probably pass by this Zojoji.
-
43:26 - 43:31Usually, even in the nighttime,
there are salarymen passing by here. -
43:31 - 43:35But seems like today, already no one.
-
43:35 - 43:39Maybe because it's already 9:30,
which is pretty late. -
43:39 - 43:42So, only the travelers here.
-
43:42 - 43:45And then, usually,
travelers don't pass here. -
43:45 - 43:47It is a beautiful spot though.
-
43:47 - 43:49So, if you come over here
in the nighttime, -
43:49 - 43:52I recommend you to come over here, too.
-
43:52 - 43:57This gate called "Daimon."
Direct translation is "Big Gate." -
43:57 - 44:01Yeah, probably, the people first time
come over here, -
44:01 - 44:06they wouldn't think that they can
just pass through inside. -
44:06 - 44:08And then, you can go to the Tokyo Tower.
-
44:08 - 44:12So, everyone is going to
the other direction. -
44:12 - 44:15Anyways, finally!
I could visit the new teamLab. -
44:15 - 44:18It's already almost August.
-
44:18 - 44:19From August to December,
-
44:19 - 44:22it will be a busy season
for travel YouTubers. -
44:22 - 44:28I'm planning to going to many
different kind of places this year. -
44:28 - 44:32Well, it might be inside Japan
or outside Japan. -
44:32 - 44:35I'm not sure because
I haven't decided yet. -
44:35 - 44:38But there are more travel
videos are coming, -
44:38 - 44:40and more frequently upload as well.
