What is this?
Oh my god, it's like a it's like a casino or arcade. I don't
Here it is I
Had to make a quick pit stop before I go to my hotel because
One of my videos I'm filming
It's gonna be here. I wanted to do a food challenge because Tokyo food challenges are insane
And this is the restaurant I wanted to do it at because they have a look at this
They have the most insane
dumpling in the world and
Now looking at it, I don't know if I could do this. That is massive
I have a better shot at doing it doing the fried rice challenge than that. I
Can you know I can eat a lot of rice? I don't know if I can eat that giant dumpling
No, I'm looking at it. It's just the same
you can either do the 100 dumpling challenge or the fried rice challenge or the ramen challenge or this this gigantic or
Do this thing I've ever done
Hi, so they're going over the rules with me I got an hour to finish it
It's it's 2.5 kilos. So I think five and a half pounds and if I win
I'm not gonna win. Okay, I gotta finish it within one. I gotta finish it within one hour. I'm not doing
It's a mountain so my goal is just try to finish it so I don't mean you know what I don't even care about the
Price but you look there's a lot. So if you win you get you get a bottle of wine
Right. Okay. Okay. I don't drink anyway, so good
I had to reserve that two days ahead of time on the 24th Christmas Eve
I'm gonna come and battle a massive dumpling and it's gonna whoop me. I know it is
I don't feel good about it, but at least it's gonna be fun
I think now I'm going to my hotel. I'm not just going to any hotel coming to Tokyo
I really wanted to try out one of those capsule hotel. So that's where I'm going finally after about 30 minutes
I found my capsule hotel
This there's a there's a I don't know vending machine of flip-flops here
Hello
The day of unbelievable stupidity continues, I'm at the wrong hotel
There's not they don't know I'm coming by the wrong one. So I have oh my god
Got to go get in a cab and try to go to another one
I'm about to enter the cabin area
So this is where people are sleeping and they said to be really quiet because apparently I mean there there's really no walls
It's just kind of separators
This is my cabin
This is it
They give you
They give you slippers
and
Pajamas, I wonder if I could keep these
towels
And yeah, that's it
And there's a TV you can control the AC in here
Light, it's pretty cozy. I'm so glad this day is over. I am so tired. Good morning
Listen, can you guys hear this?
It's somebody snoring very loudly. This capsule is actually really cozy
I do feel a little like I'm on a spaceship right now though, and I feel like if I stay here too long
I'm gonna get claustrophobic. Alright, I'm gonna go shower and I'll see you guys down at the lobby
Good morning. I feel so much better now. That was a really interesting experience
I know I didn't stay at the really small capsule capsule hotels
I was trying to find one of them
But it's all like booked out in those smaller places probably feels more like a hibernation chamber on a spaceship
But I am a tad bit claustrophobic. So I feel like the size of this capsule was good for me
First of all, I just want to say these capsule hotels these capsule rooms there
They are just for sleeping you you go out in a day. You come back you sleep you leave again
It's not for lingering around the capsules were incredibly clean. They give you your own slippers
They give you your own pajamas. The showers were nice. The water pressure was good
The spot looked actually really good
Of course, I really couldn't film in there because there's naked people in there
only thing I didn't like was that I was on the second floor and the bathroom was on the sixth floor and I have a
Habit of like waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and this felt like it like a journey to me
I had the journey to the bathroom, which was a little further than I would like
Also, I gotta say there were only two toilets in that entire bathroom
So I think for guys we all have to use that bathroom on the sixth floor
So two toilets for all those people that's really not enough and I was kind of expecting the first to be really gross because of
That wasn't the case everything everything in this hotel is absolutely impeccably clean
I feel like if I stayed here longer
I'll be more concerned about I'm getting a good night's sleep because you can't really hear everything going on around you and I'm a
Light sleeper, but last night, of course so tired came in zonked out not a problem and these things are really cheap
I found some for like 20 some dollars. There were some for 30 some dollars mine my last night the full-size capsule
That was $40 and for 40 bucks in Tokyo. That is a really really awesome deal
Luggage, there's really no space in your room for your luggage, obviously
So I left mine like outside in the hallway, which I saw a lot of people do it's probably not the safest option
They do have like security cameras, but it doesn't stop anyone from like, you know
Just go in and take your stuff and then leave the hotel
They do have a luggage storage floor room or but they only give you like a like a bike lock for your luggage
So someone could still unzip your bag and take whatever out. So
One night I didn't feel like it was that big a deal
But if I had to stay here for like a week, I definitely be more careful. Checkout is at 10 a.m
Sort of early. But like I said, you really don't come here to do anything else besides sleep
So wake up and you're out of here. I'm checked out already
I'm gonna do some work and then go explore Tokyo. It's 530 in the morning
I'm looking for some food to eat and the hotel tells me that oh my god, look at this
They're just these random vending machines everywhere. Look at this is like some kind of alley, right?
Like vending machines
But the hotel tells me that there's already a sushi shop open like really people eat sushi for breakfast had no idea really close
there
There it is, so we're gonna go and get some sushi for breakfast this sushi shop
I don't know if you guys can see this sushi shop is open 24 hours a day
24 hours sushi shop and
Well, they got everything. I mean, I don't eat raw stuff. So I
Feel like I will be severely limited. I took a year of Japanese in college and obviously I'm quite rusty
So luckily there's photos with everything here. I got my sushi
Wow
Pretty gotta say this looks insanely good. So I got some octopus some eel egg and that shrimp
Let's try the octopus. It's really really awesome. Oh
Mmm, it's a little sweet and already tell the difference of rice quality from this place and like maybe like a sushi place in the
US this is the eel
Buttery Wow that meat just disseminated in my mouth
I know this seems kind of weak because I'm eating sushi if I'm not eating any of the raw stuff
But I don't eat raw. Sorry guys, but this was amazing. I
Honestly on this trip, I thought I would just skip all the sushi places altogether because you know
She was the point but holy crap, this is mind-blowing what a great start food wise to this day
I need to finish up a video then. Let's go exploring you some more stuff first official full day in Tokyo
I am going to the famous Tsukiji fish market
I see a lot of photos videos on social media as well as growing up and
Always wanted to go there and have some fresh fish. That's what I'm gonna do today as I'm walking over there
I notice that look at this. There's there's some old ancient house in the middle of this like bustling
Metropolis and in this place just looks haunted look at this thing. I'm pretty sure that's haunted. Japan is just so adorable
How's it going?
My first impression of this fish market is that it is crowded 11 a.m. On a weekday
I can't imagine what this is like on a weekend. I don't know if this is a thing but almost every restaurant
I came across has like
Pictures of when celebrities went there
So, I don't know if like every single restaurant celebrity visits where I somehow stumbled upon every single awesome restaurant in Tokyo
This is like the kitchen for my nightmares, but it looks really awesome. These are knives for tuna
I feel like you could definitely defeat a tuna with one of these knives
Actually, you should call them swords tuna swords tuna slaying swords. Someone just gave me this seaweed soup to try
Smells like a
It's like one of those
You guys ever had those snack seaweed paper thin things. It's like that mixed with hot water
Look at this tuna. Holy monster. That's heat. Just finished my Tsukiji fish market food video and I realized something
Seafood really never fills me up
So I feel like I could just keep eating until the ocean is empty and I won't be full
So if one day you hear on the news that somehow all the sea creatures in the world went missing, that's me. I definitely
Need something like this. I will walk around the streets wearing this with with a sword, of course
Otherwise, it's beyond civilized. I'm in a really poppin part of Tokyo called Ginza and I'm at this
Supermarket department store and this whole floor is just like really trendy food items
Baked goods kind of like a high-class food court
You
Bet that's all coffee right there. I mean, I think the different colors are different coffee
Looks pretty cool though. I was walking by and I thought this was perfume. This is actually different types of honey
Let's try the flower
bouquet
That tastes like honey made from bees that are just frolicking in a flowery meadow. This is the orange honey
Yep tastes just like that
It tastes like a bee
Drink a lot of orange juice and made this honey and check it out. This honey is like they're like in perfume bottles
This is so beautiful. It's not cheap
But this is this is really beautiful, honey
If I ever want just wanna like a free meal in Tokyo just come here and just walk around
This might be the world's most expensive lollipop
600 yen that's like five bucks. I gotta get out of here
I've reached the limit of my crowd squeezing for today. Oh
space
Air how I've missed you. I'm at Kimura
Oh, yeah, this is supposed to be like a really old bakery and what they're famous for are these
red bean paste
Breads and their founder I think supposedly invented this whole thing in Japanese. This is called Anpan sweet buns
I'm gonna get one to try it out. That's all yeah
Red bean paste on the inside
I did not expect this. Well, there's something on here. It's really salty
That's how you guys I hate being pissed inside anything. I don't I just don't like it
I like a little bit of it with some hot tea, but typically don't like it. It's too filling. It's too dense
I don't want it. This is really good
I really don't know if this is super adorable or just uber creepy because I mean luckily
Penguins are not this big in real life. Can you imagine they would not be adorable if there were this big in real life speaking of creepy
Sorry, sorry, sorry
This polar bear this mountain of a polar bear. That's moving
like that's
Nightmare coming to life right there
That's like that's like a polar bear and a t-rex had a baby luckily it seems like that polar bear is really lazy
It's just lying there. It does not look like it wants to attack anyone because they eat too much doughnuts
Did you know you could go to school for sushi making that's pretty cool
They are making sushi right now and some guy is dressed as Santa
It's Santa making sushi, which is alright because you don't want Santa to be making like, you know, dear burger
Sushi is okay at the Tokyo subways and I was kind of unsure about this because I see all those videos on Facebook where
People are just like swarming getting pushed into the train carts. I didn't want to be part of that, but there's nobody here right now
This is the inside of a Japanese train cart and it sort of looks like a jungle jammie here with all these strap hanger things
For the subways in Japan, I think you're supposed to get one of these PASMO cars
And what's really cool is you can actually I don't have it here
But you can actually put your name on here that way if you ever lose the car or something
I guess they can credit your account back. Also, the subways are
Impeccably clean everything's very timely people on the subways are really quiet
Nobody was eating. Nobody was drinking. Nobody was talking loudly. The ride was really smooth
Have you guys ever been to the subway in New York?
Okay, it's basically the opposite of everything you'll experience in New York
This neighborhood is so nice and tranquil and it totally reminds me of a typical neighborhood you see in an anime
I feel like I'm walking in an anime right now. This will be my hotel for the next few days in Tokyo
This is the family in suites
This is like such a weird neighborhood for a for a hotel because there's nothing here. Oh
Home sweet home
Wow, check this out. As soon as I come in there's a sign says barefoot
Barefoot socks, no slippers in the room. Please. Please take off your shoes here
Please wear slippers in common area. So I guess this is the common area
This is so Asian this
This trash can has like a like a grocery stores bag in it. Oh, the bathroom is it's kind of cool kind of nice
And cozy looking little crane little decorative arts, of course, you got the Japanese electronic toilets
This is the bedroom. Wow. This is this is really
Traditional you got the bamboo mats. Oh, this is really cool
And of course, it wouldn't be saved without an emergency ladder in case I need to jump out this window
Oh, I did not notice this
It's gonna be epic. Yeah, how cool is this now? I feel like I'm in Japan. Alright guys
Thank you all so much for following along today
See ya
