Exploring Tokyo alone by tram

I don't think it is well known that there are streetcars in Tokyo (most of the ride is on the tracks though). Maybe there are many people who live in Tokyo but have never ridden on. Since I don't have that line in my living area, I also rarely use it, but sometimes I take it without a purpose and wander around Tokyo.
Here is Vlog of one such day.

    Nothing wrong with solo exploration! I visited Tokyo as a tourist in 2019 and spent 2 weeks wandering around the city by myself. It was one of the best times in my life :) Also, people say that being able to be alone (but not lonely) and liking your own company is a sign of a strong character :)

    you do have the Japanese touch for focus on the potencial of the things. The shots you took of the train made me think in one short story of Banana Yoshimoto. That tranform the train into a sort of non-time universe. She made me think that all the time the characters are on the streets, in the house, at school, at the office, they have the sense of duty and an urgency to accomplish something some times well defined other times no so well defined. But in the train, they have the sense of mouving but at the same time the sense of levitating where the sense of duty is lost for the period of time the character is in the train. Te story is (recién casados in Spanish) maybe Just married in English.

I also visited the park in Oji in 2019, so it was nice to see this again, looking greener than when I saw it. I never had another opportunity to explore the system further, because my 2020 trip had to be cancelled. Thanks very much for this youtube.

    일본 브이로그 볼 때 한국어 자막 없는게 많아서 불편했는데 완전 럭키✨ 영상 색감이 너무 예뻐요~ 日本ブイログ見る時、韓国語の字幕がないので少し寂しいな〜と思ったけどここを会ってチョーラッキー 動画の色がきれいですね!

    I had no idea Tokyo had trams! Lovely video, as usual.

    I felt very nice hearing about the Haruki Murakami Library. Hope to be able to visit it someday. The city shots were really really good. You have captured those parts that I usually notice while walking. It feels like you have just highlighted the lesser noticed things. Great work. Hope for more of such content.

    We moved to the Zoshigaya area a month ago. I run around the cemetery in the mornings before it gets too hot. It’s a quiet, charming old area but not too far from all the hustle and bustle of Ikebukuro station.
