Doraemon is very popular here in Malaysia. When I was a kid, it was an unwritten rule for all of us to go home from the playground before 7.00PM so we can watch Doraemon.

just re-living my recent Japan trip vicariously through your videos - I can't wait to go back! Your positivity and content are great, Loving it!

It is always interesting to see the places more frequented by the locals, such as in Kanda area. There are so many small drinking restaurants dedicated to the salarymen, obviously having their steady customers there. Well, I am not that interested in drinking but it is nice to see the various choice for those who are. Finally you have found early blooming sakuras - so lovely to watch them for any type is so appealing.. I do not doubt that you will manage to eat all the snacks you have bought in due time. Akihabara main street is always crowded but at night the whole atmosphere is more vivid because of so many lighted ads. It seems that March is colder in Tokyo than usual, but as you plan visiting Osaka soon perhaps you will find warmer weather there. Until your next video, mstane & GAAOOO....

Oh, so delighted to see some pink sakura trees, hopefully in full bloom soon!😊 Kanda station is new to me, thanks for this video. Just like you, I can also enjoy simple joys like playing gachapon in Japan, wish!😊 Gaoo🦁

I am at Ueno now. I visited the Tokyo Station yesterday to head up to Mount Fuji. Today I am going to Disneyland. Hope to see a full bloom of Sakura soon. Or I go to the place where you saw Sakura between Tokyo and Kanda station. Thank you Rion!

Great video Rion! Makes me miss Japan. I can't wait to return. Let's Keep Walking! GAOOOO 🦁

Nice! 😁 Always happy to be on a journey with you! So much to see! 😁

Always love your videos on local small restaurants and buying discounted snacks.❤👍 I still have a collection of "Ding Dong" manga (That's what Doraemon used to be called in Hong Kong.😂) That's how I knew about dorayaki😋 and Japan when I was a kid. BTW: RIP Toriyama Akira.

Kanda is exactly the area we would go after seeing most of the tourist locations over the years ! BTW - we watch many of your older videos. One we like is when you went to IKEA on your motorbike ! You’ve come a long way in those 4 years ! Take care Rion - we admire your hard work and dedication!

Thank you for the Sakura update! 🌸 I’m glad you found some, they’re beautiful! 😊 It’s so nice to see the pink trees! That was a fun walk too, with oishi food and interesting gashapon! 😄

Gao! Love that you are introducing the Tokyo Station neighbourhood. Usually stay around this side whenever we travel and really can't wait to see the tallest building in Toyko! See you when I see you in mid April 😉 Love everything Lychee! First to hear there is a lychee dorayaki! Let's keep walking!

I love to stay around Kanda whenever I went to Tokyo… Lots of affordable small restaurants.. I stayed in Ochanomizu last week with my family.. Really love that area of Tokyo….

Many times the less touristy, more local places are more interesting - so please continue to show us more of these locations...you never know what you might come across, like that Tachinomi Restaurant - which we'll definitely check out when we return to Tokyo. Keep up the excellent work!

Thank you for taking us with you! It’s interesting to see some non-touristy spots in Tokyo!

Hi Rion, thank you so much for reminding me nice time in Tokyo Akihabara station was my starting station to all my trips. I loved walk along train trucks under the train bridge from Asakusabashi to Akihabara and returning trips back Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Keep up the great work Ron! Your videos are excellent.

10:00 The Sakura tree on this street is in full bloom🌸😍👍. 16:03 wow! sausage, shiso, deep fried tofu and ikano shiokara paired with a glass of beer🍺, perfect😋👍! Ajinofue Restaurant 🫡👌👍! 21:18 Doraemon loves to eat azuki bean paste dorayaki, Rion loves to eat lychee paste dorayaki 🤨😋👍! 23:22 50JPY What a beautiful color series of buttons🟡🔴🟢🟣🔵😍👍! 25:59 how nice if I come to Japan, there is a half price sale in Yodobashi Akihabara, it’s great, I really like these three packs of snacks from Rion, this kakuni looks delicious especially with rice😋, fried okra with seaweed😋, pistachio chili flavor😋, Rion bought a lot, and got a 100JPY discount with card point, only paid 1,000 JPY, so worth it😋😉👍! 32:07 😱so cute 😍😘😁! Thank you so much for Rion let’s keep walking at local Kanda to see the blooming sakura and many izakaya shops, as well as Akihabara’s many cute series of gashapon machines😍👍👏, and I love the half-price discount there😆🤝!

cant wait to see what that super tall building looks like when its done!

I live in Oregon, USA - the factory for those rolled oats is a few kilometers from my house. Very funny to see them in Akehabara.

I just purchased the final fantasy game (1 to 5 ) combo games from Amazon. I have never spent so much money on a video game. !!? However, it's so much fun🎉🎉.😃👏👏By the way I'm a senior citizen in my 70's. I like your videos and I love playing on my switch😅😅😅.

アキバ動画ありがとうございました！桜まだもう少し先ですね🌸ビール🍺のつまみにお米を🌾食べないのが驚きました。お腹空かないのかな？何気にRionさん東京の中で秋葉原が一番好きなんだろうなと勝手に思いました😂必ずやその魅力を探りにアキバに行ってみたいです！！ガチャ？メイドカフェが楽しいとか？何だろう？😂ありがとうございました！

@@thenarrativefilmmaker470 When the sakura are in full bloom, Sakura viewing parties are held and people spend hours under the Sakura trees with friends and family. The time when the Sakura are in full bloom is very short, but they are at their most beautiful when they are falling. Every time I see them, I try to cherish every moment of my life.🌸✨😊

@@aya-san119You just described the tradition eloquently and beautifully. For several years, I have been watching Japanese motorcycle vlogs, and many of these vlogs include visits to Sakura trees in spring. I always got the impression that it's more than just a pleasant picnic or walk. With your comment, I understand it is also a time for appreciation of life. I hope that this spring you will find some especially beautiful Sakura trees. 😊

Tokyo is so clean. This is awesome 😮❤ can’t believe how clean it is.

Love your happy commentary❤

I LOVE Kanda. the place I stayed was like 2 minutes to the station. Went exploring this last week that I had nothing to do. I ended up finding a bar that you could play music. All the people there were friendly and so excited that I could play instruments and sing. I was nervous but they were so encouraging

Another amazing video. I know you will reach a million subs way sooner than you know. I promise. Everybody will be saying GAO in the Tokyo streets and all over the world. Keep doing your thing.

Your blogs are enjoyable especially your accent. Thanks

Arigatougozaimasu, Rion, for brightening my day with this video notification. I'm looking forward to watching it. 👍

I still have my Yodobashi points card, best chain in Japan, I'm never disappointed going there.

In Thailand,Doraemon is very popular cartoon.

You have such a pleasant personality. 😊

Rion!!! Thanks again for a great video! So it's so funny cuz I was actually going to try and visit Kanda with my friend who's coming to see me from Shizuoka! She will stay one night with me in Ueno and then go back so I was thinking we can go to Kanda and visit some local spots... Tokyo Station is too crowded for us so I did think about Kanda! And there you are!!! Thanks and that place looks super interesting but we want to sit and eat but I'll keep that place in mind! Arigatoo ❤❤❤

Will be visiting Tokyo in June. Hope the weather is still kinda OK then

Hi Rion, ❤❤❤your video

I grew up watching doraemon, chibi maruko and ikkyu-san 😂 dubbed in chinese

Hi, Rion. Been to japan recently and gone to some of the places you have featured. I hope one of these days you can also feature Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio tour.

Rion: 16:13 This sausage I’ve just realize that it’s cat 🙀🙀🙀 Watching this before when I’m about to doze off is a bad idea. 😂😅😂 I had to rewind to see the sausage meat thankfully it’s cut.

22:40 sadly in USA the general public does not know who Doraemon is (only Japan fans). And that sweet looks just like our "filled doughnut" which we usually have with lemon or raspberry filling.

Yeah, since last year actually the coin locker prices are increasing at some train station… now they increasing again 😢 i noticed last April it was around 500-700¥ for large then it increase to 600-800¥ or even 900¥ at some place like Shibuya or Tokyo station in November… and anyway the local train fee is also increase… but, i’m still comeback to japan again next month 😅

bro, how was the snacks? I wanna try some of them if they are good. Living nearby Akihabara

Those tall buildings are beautiful but I'm afraid of heights so I would probably never go in them. Also I'd be afraid of earthquakes if I was in the tall buildings.

hi Rion, when I was in Tokyo, I was not able to try Amazake, Have you tried to dine in Amanoya? I believe that it is in tokyo, they are famous for amazake, I failed to go there.... maybe in November I will be able to try Amazake for the first time if I have the opportunity to toback....if not in Amanoya, I hope I can find Amazake somewhere else

Please tell me if there still are secondhand bookstores in Kanda. Thank you

Im traveling to osaka this april, and i dont really know how to use Hokuriku-Arch-pass. Can you help me or tell me from tokyo station where can i exchange my ticket and which train i should use? Thank you
