00:00 John Daub: Hey everybody! Woo! It is really windy out here. I had to set up the road mic. I have a dead cat on here to try to cut down on the wind noise. But I'm here at a really special point. I had to run out here because it's quite far from the city center. This is the Only in Japan Go channel. We're live here at Toyosu Gururi Park (Toyosu Loop-around Park).

00:27 John Daub: Toyosu Gururi means kind of like the loop around park. It's not on many maps because this area, and you can see with the red bricks down here, it's all brand new. I've been running down here quite often. It's a really beautiful place. It's just new. What can I say? We actually have a typhoon coming through Japan right now. I'm just realizing it. But I thought I'd manage to get a sunset in here because there are some breaks between the clouds. I've been really surprised at the beautiful sunsets and thought I'd share this with you. See, that's what I'm talking about. There is some sun cutting through Tokyo Bay. In the distance, that's Tokyo Tower.

01:27 John Daub: Do you see that right there? The cranes on the right side, that's where the Tokyo Olympic Village is being built for the Summer Olympics. You can see how fast the clouds are moving above. This is all influenced by a typhoon that's on the Sea of Japan side. It's shimmied over to the opposite side of Japan. We're not getting hit, but we've got the end of the typhoon and the clouds are moving really fast. It's sort of like a surging. It's a surreal look. We're getting quite lucky because if the sun sets like this, we have such a beautiful sunset in store for you, just between the clouds racing across the city. It's absolutely stunning. Sorry if I'm talking a little bit too loud. I hope the audio is okay. We're live from Toyosu Gururi Park. I tagged this in the video, so if you go into the YouTube app, you should see it.

02:28 John Daub: This is Tokyo Bay. That right there in the distance is the Rainbow Bridge. In a past episode, I walked across it. It's one of those neat attractions for another good view of the city. But it's this view right here that I simply love because nobody knows about it really. And that to me is most of the attraction because it's sort of secret. I'll put a Google map in later. If you look on Google Earth, it's all construction. And yet here it is now. It's finished. The park is pretty much finished. The tip of the park is right here. That's where we're going to walk to. Whoa, it's windy. It's a pretty nice sunset coming.

03:33 John Daub: Let me take you out to the Toyosu Gururi Park point. Once again, it's brand new. It's not in any guidebooks. Lonely Planet, I'm talking to you because the internet moves at warp speed. Oh, it is really starting. The sun is starting to set and it's just a glow over the city of Tokyo. Right in the center of your screen is Tokyo. But it's really strong wind out here. Wow, that's such a beautiful view. You can see Tokyo Bay. The waves on the bay right now are much bigger than they usually are. I'm not in any danger. If you look at the clouds above, they are moving really fast. Because the sunlight is coming at an angle now from the side, you can see that cloud right up there on the top of your screen is just lit beautifully. One side of it is illuminated and the back is so dark. It's just stunning. This is another reason why I really love this location.

04:44 John Daub: I'm going to keep walking and moving to the tip of the park. But I like this point right now. And we actually have quite a nice sunset here. I'm going to see if I can go up to get a picture. But the wind is incredible. You can feel the Pacific hitting you in the face. This typhoon is coming from down there from the Philippines, the center of the Pacific Ocean. When you feel this kind of energy, it's pretty cool. As a runner though, I'm kind of scared because I got to run back and I'm not looking forward to that at all. All right, I'm going to see if I can find a shot where we can get Tokyo Tower right in the center of the screen. There is a building that might obstruct it, but if we can get a little bit higher, that might be really beautiful. I'm so happy there's a break in the clouds. I was really worried a couple of hours ago, wondering if we'd have any kind of a view. And yet now because of the typhoon, the view is almost surreal. Once again, right there in the center of your screen is where the Olympic Village is being built for the 2020 Olympics. That's another reason I like the spot. Every time I come here, there's a little bit more progress on the construction. You can't quite go down there. It's fenced in, but you can get a little bit closer from the other side of the island.

06:10 John Daub: Hey, Sacha. Hey, everybody. Thanks for joining me on this sunset adventure. This is the most secret spot for watching the sunset in the city of Tokyo, I believe. Not many people know about it because it's just not on the map. It's not that easy to get to. The closest station is the monorail, which departs from Toyosu going towards Odaiba. But I'll put a link in the description. If you want to come here, or if you're a runner, this is a beautiful place to run. Lots of people take advantage of that here. You can run around the entire island. It's about four kilometers to do the loop. But this park here, I'm going to make my way up here. Hey, guys. We're going to look down. We don't get that much height, just some steps here. But from up the top, let's take a look. This is Toyosu Gururi Park. And right now, we're at the top of it. This tip gives you a beautiful 360 view from Odaiba, which is straight ahead. You can see the iconic Fuji TV building on the left side with the big ball in it. It looks like it was almost designed for an anime. It's just that surreal.

07:33 John Daub: I actually produced a TV show for BS Fuji about 10 years ago, 2008. It was a commercial show for DHC. We filmed in the basement. Some secretive information. A little bit higher. Ah, no, but the Tokyo Tower is behind us. Oh, it's powerful, this wind. I got to go straight into it or else. Oh, look, the wind is just knocking the gimbal straight ahead. I can't keep the gimbal straight. It's working hard to try to stabilize itself. It's just not doing a good job. In the summertime, this is probably the first summer that this park has been opened. Once again, this will be buzzing during the 2020 Olympics. I can see this being a really popular place to hang out. Most of the venues for the Bayside are here. You can see over on the other side of this island, there are venues being constructed right there. Those cranes are constructing more venues for the 2020 Olympics. So this whole area was built for that in mind. And that's why it's not on any maps. But we do have a beautiful view of the island.

09:04 John Daub: Hey Gretchen, you do have a beautiful view and there is a sunset and I'm really happy about that. Shout out to Gretchen who's undergoing life-threatening surgery. What are you doing chatting on the live stream? Isn't that coming up like today? Gretchen, take care of yourself and we're all praying for you and thinking about you. But if you're going into surgery, what a view. Keep this in mind because you see something like this, it just makes you stop and go wow and really appreciate life. Beautiful. Sorry, I'm trying my best to hold the camera. The wind is just not cooperating. I'm going to go just a little bit more. It's kind of fun to be in this typhoon and yet it's somewhat annoying to try to broadcast in it. Hey Sacha, thank you very much. You know what? I'm going to take you up on this because this is like a 15K run that I'm on. So I got to hike on back and I'm going to really take advantage of that and go get myself a brisket after this because my gosh, it's crazy out here. I got to run against the wind to get back. Oh no, wait. From here, it's towards the wind at my back so it's not too bad.

10:40 John Daub: I promised you a live stream once every day. The next three days, I'm going to be doing this kind of thing. So in three to four days, the weather forecast says rain here in Tokyo. It's still officially the rainy season so we have rain and today is probably the last time we're going to see any kind of sun for the next 96 hours. So this is sort of a nice goodbye sun moment and once again Tokyo Tower is in the center of your screen, just illuminated beautifully. In fact, the sun is so bright behind it. It's sort of just worked its way through the metal on Tokyo Tower. Tokyo Tower is, I think it's 333, used to be 334 meters, but it might not be that anymore because during the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake, the top of the antenna right there, it bent. If you Google the news on this, on 2011, September 12th, they had lots of pictures of the Tokyo Tower's antenna being bent by shaking back and forth during the Great Tohoku Earthquake. And I think it lost a few meters, and now the Eiffel Tower might even officially be bigger. It's a little bit of information that might be useful for quiz shows or something.

11:54 John Daub: I'm going to put this camera down and try to take a picture for you guys for Instagram, but I'm wondering where I can do that without it being tipped over. Hey, over here. This is so beautiful. Oh man, okay, I'm putting us down here. Are you guys there? I'm going to take a picture. I got my GH4. We're going to take a shot, and I'm going to put this on Instagram, everybody. Okay, all right. Oh, this is gorgeous. I'm still here. I'm taking a picture on the other side. Yes, this is a fanny pack. Don't make any jokes, please. Go ahead and make them. I can't hear you. Okay. Wow, this is beautiful. Get some good shots here. Manual, manual. Get the ISO down to 200. Okay. Wow, I'm just like sitting here, and the wind isn't as bad down here. It's giving me this little Ultraman, pelican-looking, penguin-looking beak to it. Surgery is Friday, July 6th at 2 p.m. Arizona time. All right, we got your back, Gretchen. We'll be thinking about you on July 6th. Thanks for the information. Anil Revella, always a pleasure to see you. John, thank you very much. Nice haircut. Yeah. Hey, you know, this is my typhoon haircut.

14:23 John Daub: There's some people who are brave in the wind. Look at her. She's really working hard. She has her apron on. She's probably cooking for her family, making her way from the store back home. But the sun is just a little bit too bright. I have the GH4 right there, and I'm trying to get some shots. I'm going to wait a little bit more, and then see what we can do. But the wind is not as bad if I'm down on the ground here. Once again, this is Toyosu Gururi Park, Toyosu Gururi Kōen (Toyosu Loop-around Park). Gururi-to means like loop around or around. So in English, we would just translate it as Toyosu Loop Around Park, which is what it is. Because if you can see, there's the Rainbow Bridge, and it gives you this 360 view. Oh, yeah. You know what? I forgot. Okay, there's one other thing that's important about this point. Right behind me is the Shijō Market [?]. Shijō Market is located on this island that I'm on right now. It's located from Toyosu, and it's huge. If I loop around this Toyosu Gururi Park, I loop around and go back, and I see the ramps that go up into the new market. It looks like a brand new warehouse with the ribbon and everything, the plastic still on it, like a new car. And they just haven't ripped it off yet and entered into it. So it's all done. This new Shijō Market here is all done, but it's just not, nobody's in there. So hopefully, someone will move in there soon because it's beautiful. It looks really nice. It looks clean, big. It's massive.

16:11 John Daub: So this place, look at the clouds. Wow. This island is not only brand new, this is brand new with the new Shijō Market, which is here in Toyosu. That's the point I'm on right now. Wow, look at, are you seeing this? Do you see the clouds up here? Wow. This, once again, we have a typhoon. For everybody who's joining me right now, the typhoon missed Tokyo and kind of shimmied up the other side of Japan, the Sea of Japan. Mikaela, yeah, thanks for tagging me on Instagram. I saw that. You had the clear Coke photo. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, the clear Coke was something that I introduced the day it came out. I was really lucky to find one of them out there. Ah, the wind has really picked up again, even down here. And you can see the clouds just really making a move. It's like booking towards the other side of the country. It's moving fast. It's such a beautiful sight. You know, wind is going by really fast through the trees. I'm starting to hear that because there's only a few trees. So, it's making that whizzing sound. So, it's really beautiful. Okay, I think Tokyo Tower is going to be turning on the lights. Parade of clouds. That would be a perfect way to look at that. Tokyo Tower should be turning on the lights. I want to stay and get a picture of that because when Tokyo Tower turns on the lights with the sunset behind it, it's the iconic view of Tokyo.

18:07 John Daub: The other really beautiful night spot would be on Odaiba Island. Camera on a gimbal and it's still shaking violently. Clouds. That fire in the center, that screen and that cloud with ominous looking gray up there in the top there. You see that? Ah, man. That wind does sound super evil. It's really whizzing back there. I think I can brace myself up against this wall there. Oh hey! I can brace myself up against this wall against that wall maybe right there and try to block the wind. Hold on I'm gonna try and do this. Parquet [?], are they running away from the typhoon or towards it it's hard to say. All right here we go all right it's a little bit better down here the wind is blocked I can still take a really good shot I got the GH4 up here oh yeah that looks nice look at that with Tokyo Tower it's pretty nice okay so this is the part of the sunset where the colors start to come in we are so fortunate that we get to see a little bit of the sunset the colors oh man it's really nice I'm gonna be jogging back and it's pitch black I'm staying with you until the end I'm curious to see what the colors are of the sunset because typically when you have a typhoon you get some really funky surreal looking views and this is a really surreal looking view.

20:58 John Daub: Photo. I'm gonna just leave the camera there and I'm gonna just take a quick look I'll leave the camera up there and just take a quick look over the fence here get a nice view in this direction like a mile and a half I get to the bridge to go yeah this is Toyosu Gururi Park Gururi Kōen it's a brand new park that wasn't here last year it's really clean and not many people know about it let me close my bag we've been pushing through the winds and you can see up there the clouds are making a run for it just starting to get to the point where the sunset time is 7 p.m. there's a boat in Tokyo Bay there's another butt joke I'm gonna move up here again where the GH4 is GH4 is a little bit lighter than the GH5 that's one of the reasons why I brought it out instead of the GH5 all right the wind is better here so the camera doesn't shake but if I bring the camera out you can see those ominous looking clouds for those of you who are joining us right now this is a live stream it's just stunning with the sunset there and those clouds sorry a little choppy there all right beautiful I got a load I got a cloud legs like that look at that yeah looks really beautiful neil's got a good pun there it's a breeze I'm hiding behind them we are hiding behind the wall to get a view of the sunset.

23:17 John Daub: You know there's a lot of really good places to see the sunset there's no one place in particular I'm calling this episode the best because for me, it's the best for running. But if you go to Odaiba, Odaiba is the man-made island that I've done episodes at Odaiba before. And the lights are just starting to come on. Hold on a second. The lights are just starting to come on on Tokyo Tower. They're just starting to pop on. I can see them flickering. When I made an NHK show about Tokyo Tower, I was outside on the very top deck on the outside. We got access to go out there. And they were changing the light bulbs. And these light bulbs were Godzilla-sized light bulbs. It was like Analog City up there. The guy had to hug the light bulb and turn it to unscrew it out. It was a pretty freaky experience to see the size of the light bulbs. And I don't know if they use LEDs or if they're still using that old light bulb system from the 1950s. But I'm guessing it's a little bit of both maybe. But that was an NHK Tokyo Eye episode that I reported on back in, wow, I think it was 2010 or 2011 with Jennifer Julian. We're talking like that's the first time I met Jennifer on the Tokyo Tower vs. Tokyo Skytree episode. Oh, now you see it? Do you see it? Tokyo Tower's lights are starting to come on. Oh, it's really beautiful. Tokyo Tower is still my favorite. And you see now because you can see the red, that's how you know that the lights are coming on. Tokyo Tower is still my favorite if I compare it to Tokyo Skytree. Tokyo Tower wins.

25:14 John Daub: So is it 7 p.m. yet? Oh, I got the other watch. I can show you the typhoon that's going by. So this is where I am right now. I am on the island. There's Toyosu on the top there. And this is where the, let me see here. Shijōmae [?] is where the new Toyosu is. The new fish market is at Shijōmae, the name of the station. And this, there's really nothing there. But this you can see here. Toyosu Gururi Kōen. And if I go to the satellite, this is going to freak you out. You can see there's the, the Toyosu, the new fish market. The new fish market is right there. It's pretty big. This is a barbecue area by the way. And it's kind of expensive, but it's pretty beautiful. All right, we're starting to get now. This is the iconic view that I love. Tokyo Tower is the lights coming on bringing out that brilliant red, international orange color to it with a dark background. But because we have this awesome sky, it's even more stunning. And I'm just thrilled that we have a sunset. Like I said, 30 minutes ago, 20 minutes ago. We have a typhoon going by and I didn't think we were going to see anything. But here we are out here with something. Something's better than nothing. I'm trying to take some shots. These look pretty nice.

27:25 John Daub: Dream is to see the Tokyo sunset in person. If you come to Tokyo, you will. This is certainly a postcard shot. Leon Leoni. It's really beautiful. The lights of the city are starting to come on. It's not just here. If I pan around, you can see most of the city is coming online. Now the lights are going on, but it's still bright enough out here where we get a pretty decent picture. And that means the Rainbow Bridge lights are on. They weren't on when we started. And now the Rainbow Bridge's lights are on. We get a good picture. I'm trying to get a shot from up here, but I'm trying to get a nice shot from here of Tokyo Tower. Let's get one more. Wow. Oh, that's not in focus. That'll work. Okay. I'm going to parkour. Parkour. Oh, my pants. No. Oh, my gosh. Don't parkour up here. Oh, man. Yeah. There's a breeze coming in the wrong area. Oh, no. Luckily, it's not that bad. It's just a small rip. That's what you get for doing parkour. And when you do parkour, you're not supposed to go parkour. That's the way they do it on The Office like 10 years ago. I think that show was really big. Oh, man. Now check it out. Now this is what I'm talking about. Yes. Look at that. That's the shot, everybody.

30:06 John Daub: Sorry. I went offline for a second. Totally split it just a little bit. I was trying to do parkour and trying to be cute and I ripped my pants. When you do parkour, you have to shout it. Parkour. That's the way. The green is on. Actually, I have the dead cat on. It's just not doing a very good job because the wind is super strong. I am going down. I'm going to parkour my way back. I'm going to parkour. Parkour. All right. Was it black? Hold on a second. And we're back. Can you guys see me? All right. We're back. A little bit too much parkour. That's what I'm talking about. Boom. Blazing red hot sun. Cool typhoon influenced sky. The city of Tokyo. Tokyo sprawling all around it. That's my favorite sunset spot. And this is my Peter von Gomm imitation voice. It's not quite as good as the man, but it'll do. This man is in the Tour de Toyosu. He's really working it now. Look at that. All right. We can get a shot for Instagram. Not bad. Not bad at all. Wow. Very nice. I need to focus it. It's on manual focus. So you have to write down the middle of Tokyo Skytree. Oh, beautiful. It's better if I go like this because the sky are moments where the sky are more beautiful than the bay that's and this is one of those times.

32:46 John Daub: If I go down there, though, the wind is going to knock the camera off. That's a brave woman. That's the apron woman from before. She's really working it. I'm impressed that there are runners out here. It's pretty strong. Look, he's stopping to take a picture. It's beautiful. He did it. He agrees. Use the rule of thirds. You know, I am trying. I should have brought a wider lens. This is a 42.5mm 1.7 portrait lens. And it's too close. It's still pretty beautiful. I can't complain. And if you're an Olympic athlete, you're coming to Olympics. That's where you're staying in two years. You will be here. The cranes are making your house right now. Actually, they've made a lot of progress. When I filmed this in February, there was nothing. Now there's a structure and outline of the structure. So if you're an Olympic athlete, wherever you are in the world that one tenth of one percent that is amazing in sports, you'll be staying right there at your village. And for the rest of us, we're just going to enjoy the view from right here.

34:39 John Daub: Yeah, the Olympics have been really organized. But, Nosh, I have to tell you something. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics started off really bad. They had scandal after scandal. The organization was awful. And I don't think it's fair to blame ex-Prime Minister Mr. Mori, who was not an especially successful prime minister. But he is a nice guy. We lost billions, a couple billion US dollars because we had to rebuild the stadium because the design was not acceptable. It was a really bad design for the 2020. And actually, the stadium was unneeded. We actually had a really good stadium from 1964. Tokyo could have made this the recycled Olympic. Which would be really respectable to reuse what they had in '64. But instead, they decided to rebuild it all. And I guess that's not a bad thing. But after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, there's still a lot of construction that needs to be finished up there, and that construction has moved down to Tokyo. And there's a little bit of controversy because of that. There's so much construction happening in Tokyo that should be happening out in Tohoku, but I'll leave that up to the politicians. That's not my business, but I can still talk about it. Sort of. Oh, look at this boat. I showed you yesterday one of these really freaky boats. That boat got its freak on. Check it out. Oh, man. These are the outrageous only in Japan boats. I'm telling you, I'm going to have to ride one of these and report from one of these freak boats. I love it. That boat is not normal.

36:47 John Daub: I'm going to put the freak boat picture on Instagram. That boat is as bright as the sunset. I totally got to find out where that boat came from. I'm going to ride that thing. Look at it. That is the coolest boat I've ever seen. It's like a flat. It's one of the regular river boats that makes its way up and down Tokyo Bay, but it's just too cool. Look at it. Even from a distance. It sticks out. Oh, man. And right now you can see Tokyo Tower on the right side of your screen and the Rainbow Bridge on the left side and we're going to end this live stream. I'm going to have to get back because that's something I did. I wouldn't have said about three months ago either. And if somebody does fall in there is a lifesaver. It's another good thing about this park. I was thinking about, you know, tragedy that boats going to go underneath the Rainbow Bridge. And if I was on that boat, I'd be on the outside going. Rainbow Bridge. The wind is really making it hard to get the last few minutes of the sunset here. But the view is going to go back up into my parkour bunker. Parkour is not a margarine. All right. Parkour. Parkour. Can you say that when you just climbing hill parkour? Cool. We're good. The wind is more manageable here. Wow. I'm telling you. Right now that the city is all dark around me and there's just this one globe of glowing in the center of your screen. And that's the remaining bit of sun. And you can't actually see the sun setting, but you're starting to see the beautiful colors. If I zoom in, it's even more evident. And I'm going to stay with you until the end. And then a little more.

39:11 John Daub: You know, this would be perfect. You'd see just the silhouette of Godzilla coming out of Tokyo Bay, jumping on the Olympic Village because he's not a fan of participants, patient sports. He hates all of these medals. Everyone's a loser in his book. And then he continues across the bay to conquer Tokyo Tower. But then when he gets to the top and Mothra attacks him, he looks and then decides, wait, there was a bigger tower over here, the Skytree. But it wasn't made when he was born in the 1950s. It's a tale that could happen. These are the things that go through your mind when you're by yourself in a parkour bunker. We still got sunlight. That means this episode is relevant. Yeah, Leonid, that does sound really hollow. Vaughn, don't I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just trying to survive out here. Survival. But, you know, the view has radically changed. Just how to use the term radically just to make it sound cool. The view has changed. You can decide if it's radical. I can decide that. It's crazy that I'm out here. The sky is super dark over here and it looks like it's going to rain. And that would suck because I don't have any waterproof or anything. So I'm going to start to say goodbye is really getting. Actually, I should be getting back. This is that good. There's nobody out here. Look, it's the whole place is deserted. The weather forecast says rain. Oh, there's a guy here. There's a guy there. Here comes a guy too. He's got the same. Can you hear that? That's the whizzing that you get when you have like when you're in a hurricane or typhoon, but the sunset view is just hold on. Let me see if I get a picture. All right, everybody.

42:17 John Daub: Yeah, Leone, thanks. Yeah. Hitting the like button is always nice. Don't pound it. Just lightly tap it. We don't want to injure your smartphone. It's a valuable piece of machinery or your computer. That's even worse. No smashing or pounding. Nice black screen. Sorry about that. We're back. All right. We have a really beautiful sunset now. There's still some light in the sky. I'm starting to walk back. The wind is getting the better of me now. This is my reporter voice expressing great seriousness in the situation. The dire situation that I'm in as the typhoon just kind of skims across the other side of Japan. But yet here we are quite affected by it in the sense that. I mean, this voice makes it seem more fun. Yeah, this is I'm going to call it. I'll take one more picture for the Instagram. See here is really nice. That should do it. Thank you. Makoto, our friends in the Philippines. Thank you. Is there a storm incoming? The gamer with more there's a typhoon that was going to hit Tokyo. And this is the influence of the typhoon. The main part of the typhoon, instead of coming towards Tokyo, it went left towards Japan. And this is just kind of the end of it. We have been getting really strong gusts of wind in the city of Tokyo. Lots of bicycles knocked over, lots of signs from storefronts that have blown down the street. I saw a taxi door that couldn't close. They close automatically here. The guy was that that was funny. All of other locals giggling. I can't balance it anymore. Rolling or not. I can't believe we still got people watching this. I want to be with you guys till the end. Seriously, guys, it is super strong wind. And if you are a typhoon, I don't recommend anybody being out here. But actually is just a really beautiful sight that we're seeing right now. That I don't think it's like a once in a lifetime.

45:08 John Daub: You see, Pixton, great advice. Don't feel bad for me. It's actually not cold at all. All right. There you go. Iconic view. Click screenshot. Send it to me. Instagram. Boom. We got it. That's what we call a beautiful Tokyo sunset. A little bit of drama. Lots of wind, slightly tired and definitely hungry. There's no distance I would not go for you guys. Maybe a little bit more. I could go. Nobody say Osaka right now. A couple of runners out here. All right. I am going to run my way back. I'm the kind of person that never gives up. I've done the Tokyo Marathon five times. My best times, three hours and eleven minutes. Not bragging because there was like eighteen hundred people who ran faster than me. And that's not good either. But look, all of them from the winners are from Kenya and Ethiopia that year. I remember when they ran past me coming around the loop. I was like, oh, my gosh, these guys are flying. They were an hour faster than me. So more than an hour faster than me. So that's not a good time. It's slightly, slightly different here. Oh, these are one of these Tokyo rent a bikes that she has. These are pretty cool. I'm going to feature this in another live stream soon. So we got live streams just for everybody. I want to close this out. A lot of you have seen the video that I made yesterday. But just to close this out, I'm going to be doing a live stream every day this week.

46:54 John Daub: This one was a special one that just kind of I wanted to show you the Tokyo Tower and one of my favorite and what I think is the best. Because you have the Rainbow Bridge and then you have here Tokyo Tower and then you have the Olympic Village and then you have like you can't quite see the Tokyo Skytree, but you can if you keep on going a little bit out here. I just like it because it's a new unknown part. There aren't a lot of people out here. Zero tourists. You can buy. There's a Lawson's over here. There's convenience stores up there, but there's a toilet here as well. You can buy some stuff, bring your family out here. Kids can run. There's a playground up there. Beautiful brand new playground. Have some fun. Enjoy Tokyo and then watch this view. And then you can go back to the new Toyosu Station. Shijōmae go back to Toyosu and hit city. It's a really beautiful couple hours just away from it. Step away from the city and take a view. Just take it all in. Odaiba is nice to Odaiba has, I think, the second best view. This is better. This is better because it's ours. We've staked it out. Nobody knows about this really, except for local people. Now you're learning it for the first time. And with those cool gray and blue sky now as the sun sets and this Tokyo Tower illuminated like this, what I see is so much better than what you see on the screen over here, it's all pixelated a little bit. It's shaken because of the wind. But my head is quite still. My vision is still good enough to see it in 8K. I think the human eye sees. But it really is a surreal, beautiful sight. And for those of you been joining me for like forty eight minutes now watching this view as the sun slowly sets and it gets dark, you've seen just amazing metamorphosis of what the city looks like in the daytime and the nighttime, and it's been fun to share that with you.

49:06 John Daub: So tomorrow, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the live stream. Actually, I kind of have some ideas, but if you're a supporter, you'll get a heads up. And I'll try to put some on Instagram and share the link with you in advance. But we will be doing something. Hey, Daria is in the house. She said yes to marry me. And you asking her is on video. Yes, dude. Yes, I'm getting pushed around out here. Hey, Daria. Thanks, man. Congratulations. Congratulations. It's something that you guys can share. It's the perfect balance between the water and the sky. With the sun. The sun meets and in the center, your heart, which really is the heart of the city, Tokyo Tower. It's got so much history built after the post-World War era, when Tokyo was just completely flattened in the bombing raids in March of 1945 and then rebuilt Tokyo Tower at that time was a huge symbol for the city of Tokyo, a symbol of hope that they could come back from absolutely nothing. And they have done it. And you see for through the videos that I make and through those of other people, the city of Tokyo is just at its peak right now. And I don't know how much it could probably go even further the top. But it's just absolutely beautiful. Just shout out to Daria Hall. Congratulations. That's totally awesome. We have viewers splitting their pants. We got the world on fire. Not only is the sun setting here in Tokyo, Daria, we got the world on fire, people splitting their pants all over the world. So your Skytree's got green lights now. Look at the sea. I'm getting out of here. Not only that, the gimbal is dying. Incredible sunset. It's nice to do the wind prayers to Gretchen, who's going through surgery on July 6th. Congratulations, Daria. And thank you, everybody all around the world watching a beautiful sunset. Tokyo, Japan. There's this guy. One last time. Oh, there's a whizzing of it going by. Thank you. OK, we got some super chats. Hey, got to love the view. Asad, our Garo. Well, thank you, Neil. Duncan, John, yours. You split your favorite pants. All right. I'll live. I think they're repairable. So I'm going to have to start running back to run back. But it is kind of a far hike to get the Toyosu and then wrap around back to Chūō. This, I believe, is Kōtō, which is one of Tokyo's 23 wards. I can really hear the water crashing underneath this ramp. Wow. It's kind of spooky. We still got some sun. It's nice. It's nice to share this with you. I'm working on editing. It's so hot today. The humidity level was outrageous. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. There it is. I knew it. There's the Tokyo Skytree. You see it doing the Knight Rider kit action in the center. We got Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower now. It's really far away.

53:46 John Daub: Bikes are allowed here. Absolutely. You can rent bicycles very, very cheaply and ride them in the city of Tokyo. It was introduced a bike sharing system similar to what we see in London and other worldwide cities. This is an amazing question. I was thinking of doing a live stream on this, if not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, on how this system is a little bit complicated and the system is kind of new. I don't know too many other YouTubers have introduced it, but here in the city of Tokyo, they're starting to pick up on this amazing bike sharing thing where you can get a bicycle in one part of the city. You can ride it for 30 minutes for free, and then you can leave it there and deposit it there without any additional cost. And after 30 minutes, it's 100 yen per hour is how it works out. And you can. You have to sign up for this. That's quite sure how it works yet, but I'm going to investigate it tonight and tomorrow. I'm going to bring this to you on a live stream. How to rent a bicycle for the new bike sharing system here in Tokyo. Wow. I'm just you know, when I go running here along this path, my mind is completely blank. And all I think about, oh, I think about various things. You know, it's not a completely blank, but it's really one of the most relaxing things that you can do to go running and be in a place like this where all of the city right now, people are working really hard. There's just chaos in there. And to be out here just hearing the sounds of the bay, the water, the waves, the wind, it's really nice. It's very relaxing. And this is what makes it for me my favorite sunset spot. And this is why I'm going to be running here for as long as I live in this area. I'm going to be here running and enjoying the beautiful scenery. And I hope that you can make the trip out here, too. You can walk across the Rainbow Bridge for free. You can also take the Yurikamome line. But if you take the subway, I was that was really good. Just when? Just wait a second. I was really going to end this live stream. Just when? Just hold on a second. Oh, hold on. You can walk across the Rainbow Bridge for free. And it's kind of a neat little one hour. Well, I guess you can do it about 40 minutes. But it's a neat little activity that you can do for free with a beautiful view. And you get to know the city by walking in the best way.

56:14 John Daub: I'm out of here. This is unbowindable. That's really good. Dario's got to go. This is unbowindable. So I'm going to call this island, though. There is a barbecue spot. There's some nice bakeries. There's places where you can sit outside and enjoy the nature because it's a new island. Things are really, really open. This is not the crowded Tokyo that you think or see. This is wide open. So I hope you can make it out. Thanks for watching. I got to go. I'll see you next time in the live stream tomorrow. I don't know if Peter's going to be there, but he said he might be available for one of the live streams this week. Jennifer's in France. See you guys, everybody.
