Only in Japan, baby. Only in Japan.
I like this.
I like it.
This is Anna and I's favorite spot in Tokyo, right?
This is why we love Harajuku so much.
Check this out. It's so crazy.
Here we go. Here we go.
It always puts a smile on my face, man.
Guys, $3 I spent today.
Tokyo is just unreal.
Hey guys, welcome to a new video.
So we're back in Japan for the third time now.
And I know as travel vloggers, we're supposed to be exploring new countries, new places.
But Japan is just one of those countries that keeps calling us back.
So yeah, welcome to another Japan series.
Let's go.
Alright guys, so before we start exploring, we're gonna eat first.
We're here at Gyukatsu Motomura, which is a popular katsu place in Tokyo.
First meal back.
This restaurant actually has very, very good reviews.
It's our first time here.
Yeah, it's our first time. So we're really excited to try it.
Yeah, so they're known for their beef katsu.
Cheers.
So juicy.
That's good.
Wow.
Guys, killed it. It was so good.
10 out of 10.
Alright guys, just finished eating.
By the way, that was delicious.
Definitely hit that place up here in the area.
The beef was so juicy and tender.
Yeah, and super popular too.
It was a good thing we went when we did because
after we ate, there was a huge line after that.
Yeah, we got busy.
We're now exploring Takashita Street
and we've actually never been to this part of Takashita Street.
Over here, they have a
micro pig cafe,
which we've never seen before.
It says it's Japan's first ever micro pig cafe
and they're so tiny and so cute.
I think we're gonna go for it.
We're gonna go pet some pigs.
Alright, it's actually quite expensive to get in.
We almost weren't gonna do it because it's $30 per person.
Yeah, 3,300 Japanese yen
for 25 minutes
or 4,950 Japanese yen
for 50 minutes.
Damn.
We're here now. They look so cute.
And I just had beef.
Now I wanna have some bacon.
None of them are coming for us. They know we're not vegans.
They know we're bacon lovers.
They know we just had beef.
They're all so cute though.
Wow, they're so cute. They're like so tiny.
These two like to be together.
They don't go anywhere without each other.
Aww.
They're actually so cute.
Alright guys, done with the micro pig cafe.
That was cool, man.
So we're just walking around Takeshita Street now.
Lots of people.
Super vibrant, energetic.
Love this area.
So we're currently here at I'm Donut?
It's a pretty popular
donut shop. That's why we're here.
Look at the line. It's so long.
There's literally like 20 people in front of us.
But they got some good donuts.
We're gonna get the pistachio.
Most of them are actually sold out already.
I think this might be the signature, but it's sold out.
Apparently, if you wanna get the signature,
you have to come early, like morning when they open.
So I think we're gonna get the pistachio
because we love pistachio.
I mean, it's the only one left.
And matcha white chocolate.
Donut, even in our last series
when we came here in this area,
there's always a long line.
We never got to try it last time.
So this is the pistachio
right here. Look at that.
And that's the white matcha
donut.
Look at the matcha just oozing out.
So soft and doughy.
Dude, this is one of the best donuts
I've had. This is so good.
Try this, babe. This is amazing.
This one.
So good. Let me try it.
This isn't even their signature, guys.
I know.
Oh, this is very matcha-y.
This is pretty bland
compared to that one.
I don't like this one as much.
But the texture.
You're right. It's almost like a mochi.
It's so soft and so doughy.
Definitely fresh.
I think that's what they're known for.
Freshly made donuts.
The line wasn't even that long.
I'd come back.
Like right now. Let's go.
Guys, this is how I want to be in the future.
21 today.
Goals.
That's life goals right there.
21 today.
Hallelujah.
21 today.
Hallelujah.
Alright, that's going to be Anne and I
when we quit YouTube.
Yeah, when we retire. Just hanging with our kids.
Those are our kids.
I love how proud he was. He's like, 21 today.
Tomorrow's 22.
Okay, this is why we love Harajuku so much.
There's so many unique cafes.
We were just at the micro pig cafe.
Right behind me, there's a hedgehog cafe.
You can just experience
all the animals you want here.
It's a safari out here.
Can't just go sh**, darling.
Bro, a bird just like
I think
Dude, that's actually nasty.
I think bird poop is white.
It just came out of the sky though, so
explain that.
I think the bird just wants me to shop.
Now I gotta buy a sweater.
And matching pants to go with it.
Maybe shoes.
Damn bird.
Making me spend money.
Darn bird. Come on, poop some more.
I should've pooped on my shoe as well.
Hey guys, buying some rings.
In Japan, they have some cool jewelry.
I kinda like this.
Damn bird, now he's gonna buy glasses.
Damn bird, sh** on my eye.
Whatcha buying there?
Shoes.
Ooh, Ann's also shopping.
There's so much good deals in Japan.
It's cheaper here.
When you come to Japan, you're gonna wanna buy shoes.
Specifically shoes.
Sold.
Alright guys, so we're here now at Akihabara.
So this district is known for
anime, manga, games,
electronics, etc.
So if you love all of those things,
then this is the place for you.
Here we go.
Alright baby, you got this.
Let's go boy.
Get in there.
So we are now in Ginza.
This is where we're staying.
Before we head back to the hotel, I had to get one of these
fish waffles with red beans.
Popular in Japan. It's so good.
Let me open it up for you guys.
Look at this.
Oh my gosh.
Hot. So good.
Basically like a waffle with red bean inside.
That's it. But it's so good.
The red bean is amazing.
Best $3 I've spent today.
It's now 8.30 and since our hotel
is right there,
is right next to a Don Quijote,
we're actually gonna go there and shop.
When we say close to our hotel,
it's literally like 10 steps away.
Yeah, this is our hotel.
Right here.
And here's the Don Quijote.
Is that a donkey?
That's my ringtone.
That's gonna be the soundtrack to our wedding.
Man, this Don Quijote has everything.
They even have Louis Vuitton.
They even have Rolexes.
Christian Dior.
They even got YSL.
They got Prada.
They got Gucci.
They even got tons of suitcases
if you plan on shopping and buying all the Gucci
that they have over there.
Anyone wanna take a wild guess
why we're here at Don Quijote?
Yeah, Ann's not here for the Louis Vuitton
or the Gucci bags. She's here for one thing.
But it's in your hands.
Why is it in your hands? Explain this.
I want one because I wanna put one on my laptop.
It's kinda cute.
So they have zippers where you can
stick on your laptop or on your phone.
You got jealous.
You used to make fun of me for this.
This is $10. It's okay.
What a blast from the past.
A ton of Gucci.
I used to beg my mom
for these at Walmart.
I had two and I would bring them to school
If you're in your late 20s
you definitely know what these are.
Alright guys, back at the hotel.
For dinner, we just went to Family Mart
got some famichicken
and then we just got some rice bowls.
If you guys are wondering where we're staying
we are staying in
a new hotel here in Ginza.
It's by Yotel
and we've actually stayed in Yotel
before in Singapore.
Anyways, let's get
to the important part of the vlog.
For Ann.
So we got three of them.
Jan got jealous of my
hippers.
Yeah, it's called a hipper.
It sticks to your phone
or your laptop.
Ann doesn't have this one yet.
Should I do mine first?
This is yours.
Congratulations, you're first.
So you don't know what you're getting.
That's the fun part.
It's a blind box.
Oh shoot, I'm nervous.
Moment of truth right here.
You know what you got?
You got scams.
Slowly but surely now.
It's this one.
Oh wait, what's that?
That's boring.
Oh no, he's upside down.
Oh, he's upside down.
It's like this.
Ann's turn.
Exercising series which we do not have yet.
Ann already spent
$40 or $50
so far.
Not enough, boy.
What's that one?
It's a yoga ball.
Oh my gosh, this thing is so cool.
That's so cute.
Living series.
Last one this evening
before we go to bed.
Here we go now.
He's sleeping.
Look at that.
Oh my gosh, that's so funny, dude.
It's been a long day.
We're so tired.
We will see you guys tomorrow.

and a huge thanks to Klook for sponsoring
this part of the video.
So we're staying in Ginza
in Yotel's newest hotel here.
Let me show you a quick room tour.
So this hotel is super modern.
I love the beds and I love how they
utilize the space. So right here you have
your sink, you got your mini fridge,
you got your bathroom right behind it,
then you got the TV,
then a large window
with a city view.
So that's where we're currently staying.
Let's go start the day now.
Alright guys, we're back in Shibuya!
So we're currently heading to one of our
favorite observatory decks ever.
We actually haven't been here since our
very first time here in Japan,
but we just had to visit again because
it's just so cool up there
and one of the more unique observatory decks
that we've been to.
Alright guys, back at
Shibuya Sky! Tokyo's beautiful
from down there, but up here it's even
more crazy. This is Ann and I's favorite
spot in Tokyo. It's beautiful up here.
This is a must-do for sure.
Up here now, it's actually
really really cold up here right now.
And since Ann doesn't have a jacket,
she's staying inside at the indoor
observatory. It's still beautiful down there as well.
But it's so cold right now because it is
the winter season right now. So this is
the iconic escalator that you see
everywhere on social media.
It's so popular because it's looking over
Shibuya Crossing. It's beautiful!
It's definitely a must-see
if you're in Tokyo. You cannot
miss this. Trust me.
Man, Tokyo is just unreal.
Look at this.
My gosh.
Look at that. Views! Views everywhere.
Alright guys, this is actually the next day now
because yesterday after Shibuya Sky,
it got so cold and it started raining.
Yeah, now we've bought scarves,
we've bought gloves. We're warmer now.
We're actually gonna hit up a cafe here in Shibuya.
It's called Ruru Cafe. Never been
there before. Apparently this is a new cafe
and to be honest, it might
just be aesthetic, but we'll try
it anyways. Yeah, yeah. Let's go check it out.
Man, it is always a treat
to be in Shibuya. The energy
of this concrete jungle is like no
other. That's why we keep coming back.
You can never find anything like this
anywhere else. Yeah, even though this is
our third time, we always have
to hit up Shibuya. Your trip is never complete
without visiting Shibuya.
Alright guys, so we're inside Ruru Cafe
now and we ordered already. You actually
have to order one drink and one
cake per person and it's quite
pricey to be honest. We paid around
35 Japanese yen for both of us.
So yeah, quite pricey.
So far, pretty cool concept. The table
is actual water so you can't be putting
your phones on there, but they do have
baskets for all your belongings.
The only thing that you can put on the table
is your drinks and the
number for your order.
So we're just waiting for our drink and our cheesecake.
When we're at a cafe, I'm usually like
going like this, but this is water
so I gotta like keep my hands to
myself. Yep, that's
cold water. It is a cool concept, but
I wish it was bigger. Yeah. It's quite small.
That was one of the downsides
in the reviews that we read. But let's see if
the drinks and the cheesecake are any
good because it's pretty pricey. Thank you.
Thank you.
Next, matcha tea.
So Ann got the matcha.
That's their popular.
I don't know how to act in this cafe.
That is really good.
Is it? So this is
cheesecake. Like, what in the world?
It's black. It's like mochi on the outside
but
it's like lava.
It's like a strawberry mochi
with a little bit of cheesecake.
Then the matcha powder on top
just adds a little bit of flavor.
Ann's gonna try her rock.
It looks like a pebble. Yeah, it actually
does look like a rock.
Oh, look, squishy too.
It looks like Play-Doh.
It just tastes like cheesecake.
It doesn't taste like how
it looks. Alright, so far, dessert's
pretty good. Would I come back? Probably not.
It was good to experience it because it is really
cool, but expect.
Y'all really thought we were
gonna end the vlog without showing
you Shibuya? Nah, bruh.
Check this out. It's so crazy.
It always puts a smile on my face, man. Check this out.
Let's go cross
this crosswalk.
It's still so chaotic as ever, but
I think that's what makes it so fun
and so energetic here.
Only in Japan,
baby. Only in Japan.
Crossing here is like a mission.
Alright, guys. Once again,
it's good to be back in Japan.
Stay tuned because we'll have a few more
Japan vlogs coming your way, but this is where we
end the first one. Hope you enjoyed. Thank you
so much for watching. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
