Tokyo Travel - Along Sumida River - From Asakusabashi to Asakusa
It's been over a year since I've been in Japan, but not all of my videos have been edited yet. Most people probably think that Tokyo is a crowded metropolis, which never comes to rest, but the Japanese capital has other sides. There are many quiet districts with parks and temples where you can't feel the hectic pace of the big city. Our accommodation was in Asakusabashi, very close to the river Sumida and therefore ideal for a morning walk along the waterfront.

Tokyo Travel - Akihabara Endless Heaven
For a non-Japanese, many things are strange and unusual in Japan, but Akihabara is even more different. Maybe you've heard about it or seen pictures, but this is a place you have to experience. It's incredible. Named as »Electric Town« by the Japanese, Akihabara has everything you can imagine in new and old electrical appliances. Other shops have specialized in accessories or retro computer games.
At the same time, Akihabara is a popular meeting place for anime and manga fans, the so - called Otaku. In this shopping district, they will also find everything the heart desires. There are countless small shops for manga, cosplay accessories, model making and maid cafes. Buying second-hand toys is also very easy. There are many special locations for that. Some of them even on several floors.

In this video I will show you some Gashapon I took home from Tokyo, Japan. Gashapon are little capsules filled with many different kinds of small toys. Vending machines with Gashapon are very popular in Tokyo since you will find them everywhere. But the best place to go is the district of Akihabara. Gashapon toys cost between 200 to 500 Yen. Some are cute, some are nice. And some are crazy beyond belief.
