1. Tsukiji Outer Market: Get there early (6-6:30 AM) and go on weekdays. And also avoid the tourist trap shops (*cough* Tamagoyaki) 2. Ameyoko - Arrive either 9 AM or 5-6 PM ish on Weekday 3. Nakamise - Asakusa - Avoid at all cost if you only have weekend. Go to the Shrine at 7PM ish 4. Harajuku - just go once, and never come back. Total tourist trap, especially with all the folks selling caps and stuff 5. Shin Okubo - DON’T EVER THINK OF COMING HERE ON WEEKEND

I haaattteeed Shin Okubo when I went (during the golden week) not because the area suck but because it was so busy. All the shop were so packed, I couldn't even shop because it took almost half an hour to get from one side of the store to the other. Plus the queue for paying and food were sooooo long, it wasn't worth it. It's definitely one of those area you need to visit on weird hours. Takeshita-dori street was definitely manageable using Paolo's tip. The day I went, it was so busy that everyone was shoulder to shoulder and the mass just pull you along. I ended up going into the back street and cut across whenever the store I need was coming up.

First time we went to Harajuku was on a weekday, so we got to enjoy walking through Takeshita-dori. Even got to check out a good number of shops. When we went back on a Saturday though, boy was it crowded! Can't even tell which part we're in because of the thick crowds. If only we weren't there to buy something for a friend, would definitely stay away on a Saturday! Asakusa was nice as well. We enjoyed browsing through the shops along Nakamise-dori. Saw from friends' photos that it was super crowded when they went on a weekend. But on a weekday, it was really enjoyable. Hope to be back in Tokyo some time this year. There are still a lot of places I want to see. :) Thanks for this, Paolo! Your videos have always been helpful!

Most of the crowds can be avoided or will be more smaller for most of these places if you go during the weekdays. Monday to Thursday. Sometimes Fridays are a little busy too I think. Makes it hard if you want to do sightseeing in the weekends because no matter where you go there are a lot of people.

Yeah Shin-Okubo is super busy but it didn't stop me to go there often. My tips is to go there during daytime on a workday, where most people are working or at school. When it comes to Asakusa (my old neighborhood) is to go on the side streets. If you know where you want to go, take a detour on the side streets and you will still arrive faster than trying to go through the ocean of people.

@@kels96 I recommend 70 USD/day+lodging+ flight + long-distance trains. (Since hostels and such run ~30, I count it as a flat 100 including lodging for me) Particularly if you go on a shorter trip where things may not average out, having 200 USD buffer is probably a good idea. Additionally, Japan is definitely a place where there are cheap things and there are expensive things. While 70 USD/day is good for having lots of fun and eating lots of good food, if you want to repeatedly go to Michelin star restaurants, shop at fancy boutiques, buy out the Pokemon store, or go to several days of stuff like Disney, you need to boost it accordingly. Conversely, if you like parks, shrines, museums, and such, 70 USD/day is probably high. Again, this 70 USD/day includes short range transportation, wi-fi, food, tickets, attractions and splurging, and NOT lodging, flight or long-distance travel.

Paolo, please make videos explaining what are the main ingredients you can expect for a certain type of food, what options are available in a particular restaurant (e.g. at a kaiten sushi) for people that is picky and is afraid of trying anything that looks strange, especially whatever requires to acquire a taste. Like "if you try this fish, it will have a soft taste, and this other fish is harder to chew; stay away of wasabi if you're not into spicy things, etc." Japanese food is sometimes very intimidating. I went to Japan three years ago and into a kaiten shushi but didn't dare to try most of the dishes because I didn't know what they were. I ended up picking up only whatever was passing by in the belt that didn't look menacing (and I've made some bad choices anyway). Same thing for those ramen restaurants with all the japanese names hanging from the wall. Will all of them have seaweed? Will the meat have chunks of grease attached? For instance, I don't eat the inner parts of the chicken, only the white meat, not shrimp, or oysters, or too spicy; how can I order food and be confident it's not something that will shock me? Your food reviews are funny and inspiring, but you seem to be a person that will eat anything with courage! I'll return to Japan in April this year, and this time with my daughter (15). She is picky too! Anyway, thanks for your videos!!

Great video, as usual! Just one point though, a "tourist trap" refers to a place that rips people off through charging higher prices than normal to tourists. I'm not sure that's really true of these places.

They literally trap you in the train station due to high crowds. If that's not a tourist trap idk what is lol

Currently staying at a hotel near Shin Okubo and you're completely right, it seems fine during weekdays before 5pm but anytime during the weekend or after 5pm it's just horrible 🤣

Your Japan videos are helpful, where should one stay in Tokyo for a good convenient experience and near to the metro and tourist spot?
