  • It's 7:00 AM and I'm in central Tokyo running around the park around the emperor's house.

  • I don't know why.

  • I thought it's a very good idea.

  • If someone looks out of their office windows.

  • Sometime in the next half hour, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a 29 year old british guy having a heart attack in the middle of the park.

  • A lot of people often ask me for ideas and things to do around the Tokyo station area known as Marunouchi.

  • Because odds are if you're traveling through Tokyo, it's a district, you'll find yourself passing through at some point or another in this video.

  • We're going to eat, drink and shop our way around in search of 10 things to do and to assist me in my exploration.

  • I've enlisted the help of a good friend and a former Tokyo resident who claims to be an expert on the local area.

  • Here he comes, take your experts slowly but surely, sometime today.

  • Good morning.

  • Good morning.

  • How are you doing?

  • Why are we jogging today?

  • Why is this a thing?

  • What you want about?

  • This is number one place for jogging Tokyo.

  • The number one jogging spot in Tokyo.

  • Yes.

  • Do I look like someone that needs to go jogging?

  • Well, yeah, definitely.

  • I mean, clearly the your belly.

  • Look at that.

  • And the type of didn't work out at all.

  • I must admit that there are quite a lot of jobs around there.

  • Why is it so popular.

  • Why is this the place the job.

  • Well, I mean, I just leave.

  • This is one of the nicest parks in Tokyo and also there's so many office around here.

  • So before they go to work the job first and then they go to the office to wear enough.

  • I mean usually when I come to take your business, I never do any exercise because I think where can I job, Where can I get a job, where can I go as a result, That's what you got there.

  • But now I've got no excuse.

  • There's actually a part where you can jog and work out.

  • Discovery.

  • Discovery.

  • Yes, discovering a deal with a pretty good excuse though why I wouldn't work out here and that is getting sweaty and not being able to shower anywhere.

  • There is, there's a place to get a good shower.

  • Oh my God, is it the place where we got the shirts from?

  • That's right thanks to the miracle of japanese convenience.

  • There's a gym next to the park with lockers, bikes, running gear and showers.

  • So you needn't return to your hotel or office drenched in sweat after your early morning run the madden or city bike and run place in between Teco station on the park, you can actually not only rent shoes and t shirts but also have a shower much needed after running around the park, it's like 27 degrees Celsius today outside.

  • So what's going on, What was that unpleasantly seductive?

  • Walking brilliant whilst Marunouchi may look like a futuristic district of gleaming skyscrapers underneath it?

  • All places still firmly rooted in tradition with old red brick buildings died around and even a horse and carriage transporting people of importance around town.

  • This is pretty cool.

  • This is the, this is ambassador of some country.

  • When the ambassador of a country arrived in Japan they get to go and meet the emperor, have kind of sit down and chat and get to choose whether they go by car or by carriage.

  • And today this ambassador was supposed to come by carriage as he works to be fair.

  • What would you rather do?

  • Car or carriage?

  • Obviously carriage.

  • I feel really bad for like to have chris running from 7:00 AM.

  • So I've got some prison for you and here they are ice cream.

  • So this is white chocolate ice cream and there's a Baileys in it and he's you know chris is half alcoholic.

  • Anyway so here like this and there's a corner ice cream which actually this is my february and these are actually best ice cream shops in Tokyo area.

  • Tokyo station area and uh christmas letter here he comes or you go look at these, I'll give you this one, it's got bailey's innit Baileys Baileys Baileys, it could work.

  • So is this actually alcoholic?

  • It is actually actually, he said I'm not under 20 no other twenties.

  • I don't know.

  • What have you got?

  • What the hell was that?

  • All that was nice.

  • Why would you get called ice cream when you gonna bail his ice cream?

  • What was wrong with look good?

  • So they've studied these statues all around Tokyo station is the rugby world cup coming in a few months I suppose that's exactly what people want to see.

  • As amazing as bailey's ice cream is unfortunately it's no substitute for a real lunch.

  • And for that we head to support terrorism.

  • The sushi restaurants specializing in fresh fish from Hokkaido.

  • How fresh is it though?

  • Well, they quite literally flew it into Tokyo from Sapporo this morning.

  • Doesn't get much fresher than that.

  • Nice, wow, look at that, look at this beautiful.

  • It's a masterpiece.

  • So obviously if you're coming around Tokyo station, there's probably more restaurants around the Tokyo station area than just about anywhere else in the world.

  • Especially given Japan has got, I think Tokyo has got more restaurants than any city in the world and given the density of this area, you're pretty much spoiled for choice.

  • I think one of my biggest criticisms of people coming to Japan is, they always go to the conveyor belt sushi, all right and they do that.

  • They pick sushi off their list and it's job done.

  • That is not real sushi, I can assure you the fish here is so fresh.

  • It was literally flown in my plane this morning caught like five a.m. Ship to Sapporo flown to Tokyo and just arrived, brought right down, no wonder that this was so you know, chris, what happened to him?

  • What happened to my hair?

  • It's everywhere.

  • It's like, you know, this party is unbelievable.

  • He's made fun of my way.

  • The cameraman told me that you referred to me as an alcoholic area and now my hair, I'm just looking through some comments on a previous video with show and everyone was like, oh, leave her alone, you're such a bully to him.

  • He's the real bully, he's getting away with murder here and nobody's calling him out on, it was always me.

  • I'm the bad guy, he's the bad guy.

  • Look at him, he looks like a low class bond villain.

  • We're having fantastic sushi here with a destroyed hair.

  • Like what a fantastic sushi with a destroyed hair.

  • Yeah, exactly.

  • This is the fashion, this is the fashion of London.

  • I didn't know that.

  • I've never seen that in London in London recently.

  • Okay, so in a couple of weeks I'm going back home to the UK for the first time in about a year.

  • Whenever I go home, my friends and family always hate me because I never have any souvenirs or gifts because I just don't have time.

  • I usually run through Narita airport.

  • I don't have time.

  • So this time I want to do it right?

  • I wanna actually get them something good.

  • So they appreciate having me as a, as a friend and family member.

  • So I'm going to hand over to you.

  • I want 3 to 4 things in this shop.

  • I'm happy that you trust me, I trust you.

  • But let's see what you come up with.

  • 3 to 4 things.

  • I know definitely.

  • This is gonna be the first one.

  • Let's go to sabotage this shoe.

  • It should be in sake, japanese, sakura and the sabbath means a macaron.

  • Right?

  • So I mean you need to drink this when you're eating macro and that's the only occasion you have to drink.

  • It seems awfully specific.

  • Um, I don't know how many times my friend and family think, yes, what about you?

  • Let's have some mackerel feels a little bit too elaborate.

  • So interesting.

  • Good if you're having macro.

  • But now, next thing, look at this was it.

  • This is the, uh, this is a cream cheese, right?

  • But with missile, This is my favorite actually cream cheese ever in my life.

  • Whole cream cheese tastes like a missile, a bit missile flavor.

  • That's going in the know Thailand.

  • Haven't you got something that's a bit more japanese, not cream cheese miso, not mackerel circuit.

  • Actually something.

  • Let me, Okay, let me introduce this one.

  • Alright, alright, this one.

  • Okay, just a cup of tea.

  • That's the word all the british people use, you know when you actually go into someone's house, exactly what we say.

  • Exactly.

  • A cup of tea.

  • Anyway.

  • So uh, look at this.

  • It's a teapot.

  • So you put some tea grass in here.

  • Yeah, in there and just put hot water in and wait for a few minutes.

  • That's it.

  • It's really, I'm pleased to announce you finally found something through that actually would go on my list.

  • So yes, yes, yes.

  • All right.

  • You're on thin ice free artery.

  • This is your last chance.

  • There you go.

  • Guess what?

  • This is a box of wood.

  • No, it's not.

  • All right.

  • When you drink sake and Japanese people often drink with this one.

  • It's a square wooden.

  • Actually suck.

  • It costs you put the sake in it, yep.

  • And drink and this is for me.

  • But for you this is it.

  • This will restaurants and whistlers are like, this is for the people with bellies that is a hefty size.

  • All right, done.

  • Yeah.

  • Okay, this is for you, cheers.

  • I'm not buying though.

  • Yeah.

  • So people always ask me for hidin spots, places that people don't know about in Tokyo.

  • This is one of them.

  • This is why I always coming for a drink because I did good craft beer and you can sit outside, which is quite rare in Japan is quite some reason sitting outside hasn't really been invented in Japan yet.

  • But this is called pub cardinal Marinaccio.

  • It's a three minute walk.

  • Just three minutes from Tokyo station him a few blocks away.

  • I'm impressed cause real trade doesn't drink alcohol but he's actually drinking beer that's not nonalcoholic beer that's real beer.

  • But I've got american Belgian style pale ale made.

  • Yeah, the craft is becoming big in Japan recently.

  • It's taken a while to get here.

  • I think Japan's lagged behind europe in America on this one but they finally caught up and it's finally kicking off.

  • It's an exciting time to be here in Japan.

  • Since when did you start drinking beer today?

  • Some people may be tired of japanese food after traveling from Osaka, Kyoto Hiroshima on this place and then come back to Tokyo before flying away back to where you're from.

  • I guess this kind of place where the western food, beer and might be a, it helps.

  • Uh Western food.

  • Yeah, so I don't really know my way around Tokyo station that well.

  • But what I do know is I always seem to stumble across this little garden, this is the Mitsubishi museum garden square.

  • I never know how I get here.

  • I just tend to be lost amongst the skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

  • Then I stumble across it and it is honestly like some sort of oasis in the middle of the city.

  • Tokyo can often feel like a concrete jungle which makes finding parks and gardens feel like stumbling across some sort of hidden treasure the Mitsubishi, which Igor car museum courtyard is nestled off of one of McConaughey's busiest shopping streets.

  • It's here.

  • You can find restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries and more importantly and above all beer.

  • Peace and quiet, definitely worth a visit.

  • You find yourself in the modern Orci area.

  • Really nice place to sit, relax and escape their traffic and chaos of Tokyo.

  • Yeah.

  • Mhm yeah.

  • Got like lunch like Ison the seafood bowl for lunch and food for dinner, how luxury we are, how luxury we are, high luxury we are have a T shirt design right there.

  • After a long day regatta and I decided to take advantage of modern orgies, towering skyscrapers to enjoy dinner of fugu blowfish fugu is a delicate fish requiring preparation by highly skilled chefs and with over 100 years of experience you're in good hands at Suzuki Yamada.

  • The restaurant has its origins in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu which is one of the homes of blowfish in Japan.

  • We got to and I recently took a trip to nearby Yamaguchi Prefecture to try the dish first hand.

  • But if you can't get down to south Japan or you're looking to try the dish in Tokyo this key.

  • Ahmadiyya know how to do the delicious dish justice.

  • Whether it's served up as raw sashimi and presented like a work of art, crisply battered in tempura or boiled in a hot pot.

  • You're pretty spoiled for choice.

  • So we got like fried beer, fried food, go and go and we are waiting for the hot part.

  • So you figure itself is relatively flavorless.

  • It's more about the texture.

  • It's kind of got this kind of chewy texture to it.

  • It all comes to a head once it's dipped into the soy sauce vinegar ponzu.

  • That is what unlocks.

  • It's brilliant because it's just flows nice.

  • Finnegan.

  • Mm I kind of see figure is a bit of an art form the way it's prepared, the way it's sliced up and presented.

  • One thing I haven't tried them is the real figure, wow, nice, crispy Kharyaga.

  • What do you think compared to if you're not into raw fish, get battered.

  • A bit like fish and chips.

  • Actually it's a fabric.

  • It's my favorite because I'm from the UK.

  • It's all weird, isn't it?

  • That's the only thing you've got good right Yeah.

  • Walking through the streets of the Tokyo station area at 1st may seem like there's an absence of restaurants and bars, however you'll quickly discover they're all concealed away in the towers surrounding the area.

  • Perhaps the trendiest of them all was the building immediately in front of the station.

  • The towering shin maru building, Which 197 m.

  • It's one of the tallest buildings in modern or whether you're looking to grab a meal, a drink or a good view from the expansive terrace on the seventh floor.

  • It's an excellent place to watch the sun go down over the city and the station skyline again, isn't this luxury to have have peace of pizza.

  • Look at that view behind me.

  • It's good but maybe just cut the pizza a special a special job for a special boy, I must admit what I've learned today is all the best bits of the Tokyo Station area.

  • Hidden away in the skyscrapers surrounding the station.

  • Each skyscraper is like its own city But I understand you've got one last trick up your sleeve, one last place on our list today.

  • What is the ultimate dating spot?

  • A success?

  • 100% guaranteed.

  • I think that's the most awkward sentence I've heard you say all week.

  • So they have it guys are a list of things to do around the Tokyo station area.
