I just love how in Japan one minute you can be in a city and the next minute you are into nature/forest.

日本は海に囲まれた島国ですからね。大陸育ちにしてみれば“なるほど“です。
I am very surprised how people can respect each other's space and comfort. And all this with a huge population density.

Japan is just...better, in so many different ways. I agree with your comment, its one of my favourite things about the culture and its people. It encourages everybody to raise their game and just be their best Self. I don't really know of any other country that impresses people enough to prompt that effort. Beautiful.

Wow, that's so cool... Once you go down the stairs, the scenery suddenly changes, from modern urban landscapes to forestly like environment...
thank you so much, it is like living in Japan, through your camera.
このビデオを本当にありがとう!私はブラジル人で、本当に日本に感心しています。この動画を見ると、リラックスしてこの美しい国に親しむことができます。
Such a wonderful place to cool down in the hot summer months! ☀️
Japanese mastered blending into the nature. It's something like Feng Shui stuff when you build and live in peace with surrounding you energy
simply walk in Japan is entertaining already♥️
Omg merci for this 😍, your videos are always so calming and it help so much 😊.
Two times I watched Todoroki Ravines on Tokyo Explorer, it's always awesome. Thanks for the video!
Man this is so relaxing thank you !!
For two almost two years, your videos have been the only way for foreigners to visit Tokyo. Thank you for this! Two years ago, I went running here.
Nice walk! The part in the ravine has a little fairy tale touch. Thanks for your work.
Wonderful. Pleasant to watch peaceful. Amazing
So beautiful. Thank you!
I'm able to see hidden, more local sides of Tokyo thanks to you and your videos! I really enjoy them. Keep up the great work😊
I loved the ravine! I was so surprised to see natural springs with water still bubbling up from the ground. Love the video, brought back lots of good memories!
I start the morning with your wonderful vlogg ! And your travel ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It is a beautiful and pretty way to come out of a movie or dream. So good. Thank you.
WOW! That ravine is a magical place, right in the middle of To-kyo, amazing, tack så mycket!
私は等々力渓谷のある世田谷に住んでいます。大人になってからはここに訪れていませんが、子供の頃はよく遊びに行きました!動画を見ていると昔の記憶を思い出し懐かしく感じます!素晴らしい動画をありがとう!
Thank you so much for these videos. My dad, mom and I love watching them together. My dad has been to Japan many times for business so it’s been a bonding experience for us.
Tokyo Explorer, my fellow walker, it is a truly glorious thing to be presented with this opportunity to witness fully the scenics of your channel and Tokyo city in Japan country. I hope you walk for all time!
Thanks for the video it really made me feel like I was back in Todoroki.
Another great video!!
Super beautiful! Thanks!
What an awesome ravine, and wow that shrine (and temple?) is an impressive space. Again, thanks for sharing this with us!
Everything is beautiful and clean! I love the small roads, the little shops everywhere and the bits of nature all throughout the city. As an American, I find Japan fascinating

From the UK, and I too find it beguiling and deeply compelling a country. I bet you're like me, in that you simply cannot wait for this Covid business to burn itself out so you can start planning your next trip to Japan. :)
Lovely area ! Great video !
Amazing! Especially in this pandemic, I sincerely appreciate your time and energy into making this. We do not plan to travel for a very long time and videos like yours is the next best thing to being there. The only thing that would make it better is those 360 degree virtual tour camera which would enable the viewer to turn the camera around as you walk. Still a wonderful series!
Oooh...I've been planning a walk here ever since that Tokyo Cheapo article dropped. Sweet!
I love all the trees! Thank you for sharing. :)
Absolutely beautiful video. Todoroki Ravine is notoriously difficult to photograph well. The lighting is extremely challenging and most people's travel photos end up looking very high contrast and burnt out at the same time, just flat with no depth. This video is LUSH. Thank you.
Finally got to watch this. I got the notification for the premiere but I just finished work. I got called in to work for 5 hrs today after almost 1 month off (still technically off but we get called in when work is available...rare without tourists though). Watching and listening to this helped me relaxed. Adding this to my list of places to see whenever I can visit Tokyo/Japan in the future.
Well, guess I'll go have to check this out in person after seeing it digitally twice now. Good stuff as always. Enjoyed the audio quallity of the water. Additionally slowly going up the stairs around 14:00 mark was pleasant.
Beautiful experience from cold Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 thank you 🙏
That ravine is stunning, thank you. :)
Saya selalu suka melihat kota di Jepang 👍👍👍
Can't wait to go there!
Att man alltid missar dina videor är synd men alltid kul att titta på när man kommer hem :) fortsätt med dessa härliga videor, de får mig att längta tillbaka ;)
The ravine is stunning!!!
I like your videos. It kinda relax me while watching the videos :) so I subscribed. 😊
Thank you for uploading such an impressive Todoroki Ravine video! Although I'm a Tokyoite, I've never been there.
I love your channel! Can you go to Kyoto next time? I would love to see the countless historical sites and districts!
Just like in a dream...just perfect
Very beautiful!
This is amazing. Japan is beautiful 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Muchas gracias por grabar aqui en mexico no hay lugares tan bellos y limpios mil mil gracias y así conocemos mas 😍😍😍
Your walk into the ravine was simply beautiful. The scenery is amazing. And it all begins at 0:07 :)
Wow Mystical place
thanks Video....
Было интересное. Спасибо за путешествия.!. ✋
Gosh😲, it is Japan, just one step that will move from city to paradise❤
I had some amazing sushi at a sushi restaurant in the town with my closest friend from Tokyo. Then she and I had a lovely walk through the valley right down to the Tama river and then back up through the back streets. This was in 2017. Just a pity the valley isn't longer! Great place.
Thank you for this video,it seems like I am there walking by myself even though I'm across the world in hot Croatia(when you walked down the stairs it looked so refreshing ) .My dream is to visit Japan especially Kyoto and film it in this way so I can look at it for all eternity.
i was there lat year in september... it is beautiful
Come on 😥 One second you were just casually walking on a side walk then a random descent on your right and then boom. You're in a wonderfully enchanting place 😭 that place look so majestic 💙

One of the most magical things about Tokyo is how completely quiet some of these hidden spots are, even being in the middle of this huge, bustling, densely populated metropolis. Togo Shrine right near Cat Street & Takeshita Dori in Harajuki is almost completely silent. It's amazing because if you walk for a few minutes in one direction you'll be walking in a colourful crowd shoulder-to-shoulder with teenagers and tourists, and if you walk in the other, you get to a busy main road and intersection. How these little 'pockets of green paradise' manage to remain so peaceful and silent is astonishing. A magic city. :)

Just when I read your comment he walked down the stairs and I was like wow
Todoroki Ravine is really close to Todoroki station of the Oimachi line. I once had a friend living just next to the ravine park, so I went there quite often.
OMG! I was in the middle of typing in the chat window but it closed automatically as soon as the video ended! 😱Anyway I enjoyed the video. Have a safe flight! 😄
Awesome
Nice walking trip ! Thumbs up!
such a beautiful quiet neighborhood oh how i wish and dream of living here
Tokyo is the model city for the entire world!!
I subscribe coz you inspire me to do more walk tour videos
There is a large, dense forest in the village. That’s cool. 👍👍
Thanks for another superb insight into the real Tokyo. they certainly like the German cars don't they! Plus the odd Volvo or two :) That ravine is such a tranquil environment. If I was a bit younger I would visit Tokyo, too old and not mobile enough now, but your videos mean I can see virtually what I can't see in reality.
amazing
Que lugar maravilhoso! Meu sonho conhecer o Japão 😍
Beautiful 👍
Thank you
Beautiful . Thank you for this. I know this area well. This is the locations for the 2010 movie Colorful. They are reproduced exactly in the movie.
Jesus christ that's beautiful! I swear something about Japan's structure makes it seem like everything is part of nature.

The todoroke valley in atodoroke valley thateven japan people do not know it is a rare please to enjoy ozone water in tokyo,,,, sannky you for the wonderful image 🌿🌱🍀🌵🌴🍃👍📹👏👏👏
Man, I bet this place would be incredible at night with all those lanterns lining the path near the temple! Thank you for highlighting this location - it's going on the list of places to try visiting next trip. As of right now that's February, but we'll see if by then they're letting Americans in! 😬🤞
Those mirrors on the corners. Very clever. haha.
My favourite hidden oasis within the concrete metropolis that is Tokyo!!
Nice, been wanting to go there for a while, I'm going to have to when this rain stops. If you haven't been there/filmed there, I suggest giving Kita Ku/Itabashi Ku some light - specifically walking from Oji/Asukayama along the Shakujii River towards Naka Itabashi - or vice versa (it all makes sense if checking google maps). It's not quite the same level of peaceful/nature as Todoroki but still pretty nice, and definitely awesome at sakura time.

Thanks for the recommendation! I am not familiar with that side of town, but now I have a good reason to check it out :)
Used to live in Ota/Shinagawa and when I first saw Todoroki, it really felt like a piece of silent jungle hidden in a densely populated city. Been there many times since then :)
Wait for the video :D
Very beautiful. What are the small structures on posts along the walkway?
Forgive my ignorance but I'm amazed how clean is everything; no cans or wrappers on the floor...in Spain that wouldn't be possible..sadly :P

👌👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏From Argentina 🙋🙋🙋🙋
Relax with Coffe ☕
I recognize this, was there in 2019
神社で抜けないで、そのまま渓谷の最後から出て、川に沿って民家の裏側のようなところを辿って行くと多摩川に出ますよ。私は多摩川通りを渡って河原を歩いて田園調布を抜けて、九品仏を抜けて自由が丘に帰って行きました。朝の散歩道。楽しかったな〜
damnnnn thats insane, my dream is to live in japan
東京にこんなとこあるんだ... 知らなかった
One day I hope to walk to all of the shrines/temples.

It's written in the video description
Back in the 1990's I lived in Kaminoge, about 15 minutes on foot from the ravine, and would go there often. Back then there weren't many people walking through the ravine, even on weekends. However, recently Todoroki Keikoku seems to have been getting a lot of attention online. I hope 等々力渓谷 won't get overrun by the Instagrammers once tourists return to Japan.
