From temples and shrines, to gardens and museums, you'll never run out of attractions. Out of all the things you could do, I've chosen a top 25 list for this awesome city (and just so you know food is my first choice in Tokyo) 1.

Meiji Shrine ) - This Shinto shrine, surrounded by beautiful forest, is extremely significant. 3. Ryogoku Kokugikan ) - Even if it's not fight season, you can go to the free sumo museum and eat sumo chankonabe. 4. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden ) - The garden is a beautiful attraction in Tokyo, with French gardens, Japanese gardens, and a green house. 5.

Onsen ) - You've got to strip down naked before you can enter a Japanese public bath. 24.

Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Gun related death is unheard of, let alone gun massacres Look how safe we live in this beautiful country. Let's maintain this safety & security. DON'T EVER let Western Right-Wing GUN RIGHTS propaganda enter your country Never. In USA gun massacre occurs every WEEK That is disgustingWhat use is it to have freedom to own guns if people die in huge number? That's not freedom, that's a diseaseAnd YES mental health also contributes to the problem. But do you know what causes Americans to be insane? It's the ideology of Evangelical Christianity that causes Americans to be violent and stressful and then commit massacres.

When you cover it in so much dried chilli, you lose the subtle flavours, Mark always swamps everything in Chilli, so listening to a food reviewer who can only smell food (thankfully he can't add chilli to the smell) then it ruins the review. I hate to say it but his reviews are very one dimensional, literally no description of the subtle flavours and complexities of the dish. I've been married to a Thai for over 16 years and have to say, unless it's insanely spicy or over marinated, your taste buds lose their intricate abilities, and that's exactly what Marks reviews keep demonstrating.

Ignore the idiots who have nothing better to do than come and comment negatively on your videos, there is nothing wrong with a guy showing appreciation and love for food, isn't that what your videos are about? ? People will always moan about something. You seem like a genuine man who loves his family. You happy and you get to travel to many places in the world trying their foods and seeing the culture, not many of us get to do this, so I'm thankful you share your experience with us all. Please enjoy yourselves and keep the videos coming.

hey mark i also recommend tokyo planetarium. they have this hologram 3D space planetarium that explained about the universe, planets, spaces, black hole etc. I went there one time accidentally, and it feels so real. sadly everything is in japan. so you will need to be able to speak japanese to buy ticket, etc.

Great video but this man complains far too much about the price of things that are not even remotely expensive. 200 Yen to visit a beautiful park? That's literally 2USD. 7 to go on a boat cruise? How is that expensive? You probably shouldn't be taking a vacation to Tokyo if you consider those things expensive.

I seriously don't understand why people would hate the face you make when eating some delicious food I actually love seeing people enjoing their meals and appreciating all these flavours rather than just stuffing their mouths
