When ever I am down I watch you and makes me happy thanks keep it up

This was one of the best episodes of Only in Japan Go! Simply loved it. Keep it up dear John!

I love the alley streams John. They’re fascinating and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

Very informative and entertaining stream! Thank you so much, John! God bless you and Kanae! Always looking forward to your videos! I hope we could all go back to Japan next year...or soon.

Just discovered your chanel and love the videos, live streams etc. I'm planning to visit Japan for the first time next year, all being well ,and your videos are very informative and enjoyable to watch

I just miss Japan so much....

I’ve been watching your channel for a long time... just subbed... you always make me smile 😊 Thank you!

Awesome ideas John! Look forward to these videos: - restaurants that do western and Japanese fusion - match locations up with movie scenes

Man I love your vids. It gives me a feeling that Im back in Japan. Keep it going.

I love Ginza, is a beautiful place and a perfect day out! Thanks for going there!

4:53 I was shocked to see this man on the bike giving you the middle finger. I know that Japanese people are the most respectful and loving people. Hope this person will realize that what he did was wrong. I love Japan and Japanese people for their great manner and humility, for their beautiful culture of respect, love, perfection, art and spirituality.

@brunswik Sorry but if you look at 4:59 you see Japanese people in the street in front of the guy on the bike and he doesn't give them the finger. You don't fight supposedly bad behaviour with bad behaviour.

Cool video, really enjoyed it. Lots of good info.

Thank you for sharing your streets and alleys walk; feels like part of it. Hope to visit one day and walk the streets of Ginza.

ty for hosting i loved my watch from Rock Falls IL USA

John, I'm watching at 5 am here in Texas. I enjoy your walking vids very much. Thank you.

Really nice stream today! Bringing back memories from my last visit walking to this area from Shimbashi. I remember the Baden Baden place as well :)

I'm so very happy you're offering straight POV unvarnished takes of life in Japan. A rare and wonderful thing.

I love these walks because it makes me feel as if I'm there. Though it's visual. It just reminds me of when I'd take evening walks through the streets of Maryland/Washington DC when I lived there. I lived on the divide of DC and Maryland.

Hi John , I enjoyed very much this video!! Regards from Chile!

Love it. The screen of my iPad cracked on a recent flight to Japan and the Ginza Apple is where it was replaced. The staff were so courteous. Frequented Mitsukoshi, Starbucks, and the Nissan concept showroom. Every video brings me back to Japan, my second home. Thank you 😎

I've never been to Japan but I've experienced a lot of closures of places I frequented and I totally felt the tears coming towards the end. I could feel your sense of loss.

What a great educational video! I appreciate the alley hunting and neighborhood sightseeing. One day I will look forward to visit Ginza. Thank you!

This brought back great memories! My husband and I stayed at the Hyatt Centric when we were in Japan last fall. We also found a really cool wine bar in Ginza called GinzaWineBar G5 that was fabulous. Thanks for this!

Thanks for your live broadcast !

Thank you allowing me to join you on your walk. Looking forward to the day when I can retrace your steps around Ginza...aloha, from Hawaii!

John, I love you & Kanae! Please keep making videos. I’m going to check out your Patreon soon.

Really good video. I would be interested in watching you explore the nature outside of tokyo. 👍

Just got around to this. Nice John. I missed the live stream by 10 minuets. Replay is good. Thank you.

Great video today John! Will surely visit ghost alley and those little restaurants beneath the Yamanote line next time. To be honest, we usually visit Ginza for the shopping 😜

At 59.09 I think it's so sweet of you to think of Kanai when it comes to eating something nice. The thought of wanting her to enjoy while you have your nice snack shows your love!

Awe thank you !! I miss Japan, you bring a lot of joy to eastern rural Utah

I had been to Tokyo in June 2018. We stayed at Narita View Hotel near the Narita Airport and explored the City. Such a sweet memories. Cheers from Mumbai India 😍😍

This is great! Sorry I missed it live!

Kagoshima connection. A bunch of scenes for You Only live Twice were filmed in Kagoshima. Little Nellie helicopter taking off, the ama diving village, the dock fight, Tiger's home exterior, and the lake rocket centre was on the border to Miyazaki.

I’m deep in research on this. Fascinating! Also reading the original book by Ian Fleming for this title.

I walked down the same alley under the train track over 10 yrs ago, things are all very different ... lots of good memory there.... thx

Really enjoy your videos John. Greetings from NJ.

I love Ginza and Tokyo. Please make more videos showing these areas.

I love these walks! They make me feel very happy!

Thank you so much ! I am from Singapore. I missed Japan so much !

Hi John. Thanks as always for helping us see Japan when we can’t. It would be great to have the walking route added to the video comments/details section after you’ve completed the walk. While I love exploring on my own there are some walks we would like to do or see the locations on a map. There are several apps that can track your path so that you aren’t doing the work. Thanks for considering this enhancement!

Great video!

John with a camera and his voice gives me more entertainment than Netflix. Bless him!

Koniçiva John.. We went from Turkey to Tokyo 2019.we stayed three days.We have good memories.💕 We toured Ginza.We saw Nissan and toured.The red car is still standing.Thanks for video.😊🇯🇵👋👋

That was really a bummer that the vending machine corner is gone I was looking forward to go there and grab a beer or two when I went to Japan.. Oh well I guess I'll have to find another place to chalk up in its stead. Still thanks a bunch John for the livestreaming! It means a lot to someone who's stuck at home in Sweden itching to travel to Japan!😄

Yeah John watching the playback but always enjoy any content you can come up with. Unfortunately it would be 1 AM when your livestream comes on here but always try to stay updated 👍

Great! I love it

Can you do an episode on wheelchair accessibility in Japan? Restaurants, transit, shopping areas, ramen shops, hotels?

I can tell you that a11y in Japan is really behind. Keep this in mind 1. Post war Japan was built for a young able bodied workforce. 2. Japan has a centuries long class system that ignored the needs of the disabled. Thanks to the preparation for the 2020 Olympics, Tokyo was forced to make some changes. However, the majority of the stations still lack elevators or ramps. Also just because a station has an elevator doesn't mean you will be able to get where you ned to go. Some stations are so massive you could spend a lot of time traveling around the station (assuming access is even possible at all.) Tokyo is very vertical both above and below ground and as you can imagine this makes travel accessing anything off street level problematic. Many buildings are not equipped with with elevators. And public restrooms outside of department stores or shopping centers are unlikely to have a11y. Outside of Tokyo the situation is more dire. For example Kyoto will require a lot of effort to reach temples and shrines grounds and you can't reach the highest parts by wheel chair. A city like Osaka is not as vertical as Tokyo but you will find even less elevators. I by no means want to discourage you, but I think it's only fair to give you the truth of the situation.

@@jimlewellen8932 I’m so glad to hear how a11y has changed in Japan. It has been such a struggle for many and as you say “hidden from the general public” was the expectation. I know Japan has the ability to and will get there. It will just take time.

Nice tour video John. Peace from Malaysia.✌️🇲🇾

A little comment to say that I'm watching it in playback and loving it! Love from Belgium! ;)

Re-watched this. You're never "kinda devastated," bro. Feel you. 👍

Watching this is my way of escaping temporarily with all these pandemic and all of the craziness of the world 😂 thank you for taking me back in this beautiful country ❤️

Yes

I love these live streams ! We put it on whenever we see it's live !! 😁

The only Japan KZreadr coming at us with Eddie George references. The man was a beast! Edit: WOW, can't believe they shutdown the vending machine/smoking corner. Good thing I was able to visit my last trip in February.

I am feeling summer here as i am.. And also in your video :)

Good vid John.

You have to mention “Ichi Ni San” Kagoshima restaurant, in front of Godzilla, nice shabu shabu or tonkatsu, always crowded, better make a reservation, but amazing kurobuta from Kagoshima

I miss walking down these streets and went to coffee shop or just chilling in itoya

@11:15 ... that "scar" is actually the letters *SV* w/c stands for *"Super Veloce"* w/c is *Italian* for *"Super Speed"* the car is also *suuuuuper expensive* . typically a *Lamborghini Aventador SV* will retail between *$400,000 - $500,000 (USD)* @32:50 ... that looks a lot like a late 1980s *Bentley Continental* (possibly 1988?) if it is the *Bently Continental* version (& not the *Rolls Royce Corniche* - produced same time, same assembly line), then it's a *super rare* car (only *421* made between 1984 - 1994). @37:45 ... that's either a *Ferrari FF* or the newer replacement model, the *Ferrari GTC4Lusso* for the most part, they're both the exact same car (w/ some minor tweaks). basically a *+$250,000 (USD)* station wagon @1:01:15 ... kinda funny how you saw that *Nissan GT-R* next to the 300 sign, b/c it can go a little over 300km/hr (around +200mph). that makes it one of the world's fastest (mass produced) cars. it's nicknamed *"Godzilla"* & costs around *+$120,000 (USD)*

1:02:50 I've been to that alley under the Yamanote line just last February 5.

Thank you for interesting videos. It's sad that pandemic appeared hitting many places and people. Thinking to visit Japan personally so your advices is very useful. Regards.

Will be at Ginza next Saturday, so will check out some palces in this video.

Happy follow you to walk around my favourited spots

Dined at that oyakodon place (Marukatsu) by accident, I remember the little cup of chicken broth that came with the set was the best chicken broth I had.

the alley adventure is a lot of fun

Staying in Ginza in the summer. Thank you for this video! Question, how do you carry your Japanese coins? Gastropub is like an American izakaya.

I enjoyed the live stream

Yes. Just go

Kobe have the same alleys also under the train station

I been watching all Japan yt and I miss it already.

Hi, thank you for showing around Tokyo. I’m planning to go there in mid Sep. I book a room at Granbell Shinjuku. Is it a good area to stay. There’s plenty of love Hotel around there. Thank you so much for all what you do. Much appreciated.

I always stay at Mitsui Hotel in Ginza, nice to see it again 👍🏼

Thanks for Ginza vedio..🤗

Wow, the alley ways are so pretty and well kept in Japan. The plants, the lovely little shops and restaurants... I wish they were like that here in the USA, but alley ways are terrifying here.

@brunswik I can understand where John is coming from when he said that. The pipes and wires are very Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle-esque. I can understand the appreciation for the aesthetic, and I'm sure that safety measures were put in place that were up-to-date for the time when built. But you do bring up a valid point!! I'm sure that's why many of the buildings are being torn down and rebuilt. Things can only stay safe for so long.

Love the alleys!

I missed Ginza! Been to Nissan showroom quite a few times... my favorite is Bics... from Guam here.... I used to work for BusinessJet... our client is the son of Pachinko machines inventor--- MrBusijima... I'm a regular guest before of MarriottHotelGinza... nice vlog... always watching here... hopefully I'll visit Ginza again.... I used to fly to Japan twice a month or sometimes twice a week...😝

5:03 PM from Toowoomba, Australia. I am 1 hour ahead of Tokyo.

Love that clock.

During our first visit to Tokyo, we rode the Shinkansen from Kyoto, I noticed that the cars started getting fancier the closer we got (to Tokyo). Ginza always reminds me of Ito-Ya,
