00:00:04 John Daub: That right there is the Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), the gate to Sensoji Temple, one of the oldest and the cultural heart of Tokyo. And just to the right side, you will see our destination, which is the Tokyo Skytree, 634 meters high. It is one of the tallest structures in the entire world, 2,080 feet, and we're going to be walking there today. How you doing, everybody? This is the Only in Japan Go channel. Definitely click the like and the subscribe button and get all the notifications by picking always, because we're about to embark on an amazing adventure. It is 1.5 kilometers from this area to the Skytree, and I never walked it before. Well, that's not true. I walked it when it was first being built, and that was about 2011, 2012 it opened, the Skytree. So I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to this to see how much the neighborhoods have changed.

00:01:03 John Daub: Asakusa is, as I said, the cultural heart of Tokyo because this temple was founded in the year, like, 700. It's crazy, right? And this thing behind me was founded in the year 2012. That's when it opened. So let's go for a really fun walk today on a beautiful afternoon in Tokyo. We're going to start by crossing the street, just taking a quick look at Kaminarimon, which is this huge red lantern you see in the middle. You see the rickshaws are going here to get some pictures. It might be a wedding. Check that out. They only have about 20 seconds left. Hurry up. Oh, some traffic. So let's go take a quick look. I know the signal might kick in and out, and it is a really hot afternoon, so the signal might die because of the phone overheating.

00:02:00 John Daub: But welcome to Tokyo, all of these people, because almost like 99% of the people here, except for the ones working in the shops, are probably tourists. But it is a pretty incredible site. And if you want to see more on Sensoji, I have like several live streams already from here. Underneath it is a wooden pattern, which is pretty cool. Anyone over 210 centimeters will bump their head up there, which makes you look like you have a big bulbous head. All right, let's get out of here. We have 1.5 kilometers to cover, which is about a mile.

00:02:47 John Daub: Now, this building here is designed by, I believe, Kengo Kuma. You can see the wooden parts of the building, which show the naturalness to it. The structure is beautiful. And this is the tourist information center right across the street. It's pretty cool. All right, let's get out of here. This is where all the tourists come. Where we're going, there are no tourists. We're crossing onto the street, and then we're going to wrap around. Ah, Japanese cultural experience. Very nice. You can see that.

00:03:31 John Daub: When you come to Japan, riding a rickshaw is a way to employ lots of really handsome dudes that have better legs than me. Look at this. And they're quick. A lot of them are university students doing this for part time. Trying to make some money. They work hard to get rides, too. So if you're in the city, you want to throw them a bone, by all means, take a ride by rickshaw. It's the ancient way, they say. All right. So coming up is the intersection that takes forever to cross. But we're going to do it. So I got lots of little anecdotes, little notes to tell you as we get closer and closer. Hey, Shalvaro, thank you very much.

00:04:27 John Daub: So as we get closer and closer to our destination, the Tokyo Skytree, I'll be able to tell you some stories, give you some notes, and also share the street view, which is what this is all about. It's a green light. No, I don't want to miss this one. I hate missing this one. I missed it. It's red. That means I have to introduce this station to you for the next, like, five minutes. Because this light crossing to go to the space boat entrance takes forever. Oh, well, it's a rocky start. Nevertheless, I get a chance to introduce you to this map here.

00:05:14 John Daub: You can see here. This is Sensoji Temple right here, this green area. And we are up there now by the intersection. It's hard to see. And then we're going to cross this bridge. Kind of follow the train line. There you go. Up here is the Tobu line, the Tobu Skytree line, they call it. And this is the ending to the Fukushima Spy episode. I'm going to show you the way that they connected with Peter von Gomm as he stood underneath here with an evil laugh. You can ride this all the way to Tohoku. And they have a very inexpensive line that goes to Nikko. That's the top one on the top, Nikko. This was the cheapest way to get there. You can get to Utsunomiya for like ten bucks. It's really cheap.

00:06:07 John Daub: And Tobu, Tobu is an important company to know in Tokyo. Because Tobu Group is the one that built the Tokyo Skytree. And re-invigorated that area called Oshiage, which really didn't have anything there. And now it's a vibrant neighborhood. And we're going to see how vibrant in about 20 minutes when we get there. Now, you can take a lot of trains to get to the Tokyo Skytree. You don't have to walk. I have to be honest with you. I'm starting to melt because it's so hot in the city of Tokyo. This may be the last couple of days of this heat. Usually when September 1st rolls around, we start to get some relief from the immense, intense summer heat.

00:06:53 John Daub: We're going to from this bridge look back onto Asakusa. But first, the space boat. Do you see that station right in the center of your screen? That folks who follow me on Instagram would know that this is where the space boat departs from. Oh, yes. The only ship, only boat, only ferry, only bus that looks like a spaceship could be launched into space or submerge under the water. And we will see if one of them is in town and give you the prices to the space boat. I guess the home of my favorite ship. How do you do? Are you in? Are you at home? Knock, knock. Who's there? Space boat. He's not here. It's empty. It's all right. But we are getting closer and closer to the Skytree. Every step we take, every breath we make.

00:07:53 John Daub: That there is the, I believe, Asahi Beer Hall. I always get the beer companies mixed up, but it's supposed to be the head of beer, that symbol. But a lot of locals like me call it the Golden Poo. And in an NHK 500th episode, Tokyo Eye, I said that comment and the directors cut it. I don't know why. It's true. Looks like a golden poo. That's not space boat. Let's go take a look really quickly and see what the prices are like. Maybe even hit a vending machine. It's getting really hot. All right. Boom.

00:08:32 John Daub: Right off the bat, we have a new route. Asakusa to Nihonbashi debut. What? Takes about 30 minutes and costs 1,200 yen. I'm actually going to take Kanae on this now. That's pretty amazing. But that's not space boat. What are these little dinghies? I don't think it's a dinghy. All right. Let's go take a look at the space boat. There are three boats. This is the Himiko, the Hotaluna, and yeah, those are the two bigs. And the Emeraldus. That one's the most spacious. And I don't mean that in terms of space and the prices for these tickets. Here's the schedule that departs. And you can see which ship, which boat, which space boat you want to take. The Hotaluna stops at Hinode Pier and the Himiko goes straight on to Odaiba, same as the Emeraldus.

00:10:48 Joe: I'm Joe from Australia.

00:10:50 John Daub: Oh, hello, Australia. What's your first name? Joe. Nice to meet you, Joe. I'm actually live streaming. So you're now on the show. Everybody. Hi. So how long are you here in Tokyo for?

00:11:01 Joe: Until next Wednesday.

00:11:02 John Daub: OK. You ride in the space boat?

00:11:05 Joe: No, I saw we go past, so I might have to jump in it later on.

00:11:08 John Daub: Yeah, it's like the weirdest boat I've ever seen because it looks like it's from space. Yet cruises down the Sumida River.

00:11:17 Joe: Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's very unique.

00:11:20 John Daub: I'm sitting up here. So he's building because so you mentioned that a while ago. Is that a saw? He always get the beer company wrong. I stuck. I saw I think anyway, let's get wrong. Can you take the heat?

00:11:33 Joe: I am. I'm getting used to it now. I've been here for three days. So, yeah.

00:11:37 John Daub: Yeah, it's all good. Great to meet you, too, John.

00:11:38 Joe: After. Yeah. I've been playing for a while.

00:11:41 John Daub: Yeah, it's a good coincidence. I don't get out that much. No, I'm stuck trapped inside editing these days. I see crazy. No, it's an amazing city. I love it here. It's like I've been here for three days and I'm blown away by a lot of things about it.

00:11:57 Joe: Is your first time? Yes.

00:11:58 John Daub: OK. All right. I'm sweating. It's all back in Melbourne. I'd be freezing. So that's right.

00:12:05 Joe: I mean, we're in Australia. Yeah, it's very cold. Yeah. In Melbourne anyway.

00:12:10 John Daub: How cold does it get down there? My image of Australia is like Queensland. And I don't know why.

00:12:14 Joe: Yeah, Queensland is much of the Melbourne. But in winter, Melbourne get down to, you know, about even one degree sometimes. OK. Yeah. At the moment, someone said to me was nine degrees up to nine degrees last night from about 15. So heading into spring in a couple of weeks.

00:12:31 John Daub: That'd be good. Yeah. We'll be heading into fall, which, thank goodness, would mean the humidity will leave. It's not as bad as. It's been worse. July is pretty bad. Pretty bad. What are you up to today?

00:12:43 Joe: Well, like some going over to the Asahi building. Yeah, I need to get a bite to eat because my breakfast isn't too large. And then I'm going to head over to Akihabara.

00:12:51 John Daub: OK, check out the electronics. Akihabara. What's the best place? Best thing you've seen so far?

00:12:56 Joe: So far, so far. Honestly, coming from Melbourne, it has to be the train system here. It is so efficient compared to Melbourne. Yes. So that's the best thing I've seen so far, really. Yeah. And but also the sights are amazing. Yeah. I'm in Shinjuku at the moment. So, yeah, even I saw Godzilla.

00:13:20 John Daub: All right. There's a Godzilla in front of one of the hotels. So that yeah, that's amazing. I went to Odaiba yesterday.

00:13:27 Joe: OK. Odaiba city. When I saw the huge Gundam. Yeah. So I'm not a huge fan, but have a couple of their models. So, yeah, it's absolutely amazing. Seeing it move and all that and life size walking in this. Very, very.

00:13:43 John Daub: Yes. We have robots here in Tokyo. Not all of them move all the time. Did you see Geminoid F? Geminoid F inside of the mall. She's a cyborg android robot.

00:13:54 Joe: I must have missed it. No, I didn't. I remember I think you mentioned that.

00:13:57 John Daub: Yeah, it's pretty creepy. Her facial expressions like this. It's like, hi, my name is Geminoid F. I'm here to assist you today. And then she manages a smile at the end. Interesting. Yeah. So I was blown away by the size of the city as well. Seven, seven levels. Yes. So I walked all seven levels and took a few photos here and there. And yeah, it's just amazing. I went to the Gundam base at the top there. Yeah, I was blown away.

00:14:25 Joe: Can you go up inside the statue?

00:14:27 John Daub: I don't know. No, no, no. The Gundam base inside the complex. Oh, OK. It's at the Gundam store there. We can buy. Right. Diver City, I think it's called over there.

00:14:37 Joe: That's correct. Yeah.

00:14:39 John Daub: Very cool. Well, nice to meet you, Joe.

00:14:41 Joe: Nice to meet you, John. Have a good trip. All the best. I love your channel, too, by the way.

00:14:46 John Daub: Thank you. Where are you going for lunch? You're on here.

00:14:47 Joe: I was going to head over to Barra for lunch. I'm just going to get a small bite to eat here. But lunch is definitely going to be over that side.

00:14:54 John Daub: All right. Very cool. All right. Thanks, Joe. Thank you very much. Nice to meet you, John. Nice to meet you. All right. That's Joe. So we're going to cross the bridge here. But before we do that, I want to just take a quick look back at Asakusa.

00:15:10 John Daub: That is the city right there. And in the distance, you could see the Asahi Super Dry. I think they still use neon lights. I'm not sure. I love the neon lights. But that's where we've come. We've already walked quite a ways. Follow that bus because bus has Wi-Fi. If you get really close to a Tokyo bus, you can access Wi-Fi. Just a little secret information. Top secret. Bus doesn't want you to know that. But once you get on the bus, one of the reasons to ride the bus is you have free Wi-Fi. So there you go.

00:15:48 John Daub: We're going to lose the Skytree behind that building there. But we shall see her again. I think it's a her. Is it a he? I don't know. Would Skytree be a woman or a male? I'm guessing maybe male. Seems logical. Now, the Tokyo Skytree is silver in color. It's designed, they say, because it looks like a five-story pagoda. I'm not sure if I buy that. It looks more like a katana to me, which is a Japanese sword. So I'm going to leave it up to you. I think that the Skytree is a work of art and it's up to you to decide what it looks like to me, looks like a sword or the Skytree. Let's just keep it simple.

00:16:37 John Daub: All right. Coming up on your in the center of your screen is the Golden Poo. It's affectionately known as that with affection because we love it. But again, it's supposed to represent a head of beer. This hall is it? I know it's not the Suntory Hall. Is it the Sapporo or Asahi? Could be the Asahi. I always get it all mixed up. I think there's people that some people don't know themselves and they just tell me the wrong information when I ask. This is the Sumida River. And that's the Tobu line making its way into Asakusa Station there. There's one leaving and those lines are pretty cheap.

00:17:21 John Daub: If you're thinking of going to Nikko and you don't have a JR pass, that is the best way to get the Nikko from the Tobu line because it's just the cheapest. Ah, shade. Thank you. Building. I was melting in the sun there. It's very nice here. Seriously melting. There you go. Sumida River. Let's look and see if we have any questions. Danny's in the house. Have a great day. Thank you, Danny. Cassie writes in. Get yourself a lunchtime beer. I think I will, Cassie. I think I will. Thank you.

00:18:07 John Daub: Now, from here, you have two ways to go. One of them is you can follow this running path. See the guys running there? And it's about the same distance to get to the Tokyo Skytree. We have about 20 seconds before the light changes. So let me take you over to the map. Just take a quick look to orientate ourselves, ingratiate ourselves so we don't get lost. We're right here. We've just crossed the river and now we're going to be making our way to the Skytree, which is over here. Okay, so we're going to walk down this street. But you can also walk down this street and go around here. They're both about the same.

00:18:42 John Daub: Sumida Park is really beautiful and you can get some nice views of the Tokyo Skytree from here across this island looking over this way. So I can't say that there's one way better than another way. They're both pretty good ways. But now you've been told to go either way. It's up to you. All right. In the nick of time and right underneath us. Oh, look, they got beer. I just got a super chat for an ice cold beer, too. It is the Asahi building. Boom. Now we know whenever it says super dry, you know it's going to be Asahi. I'm so sorry, Asahi, for calling you the Sapporo or some other beer building from time to time.

00:19:33 John Daub: This left black building. I think they're telling you to look on the left side. This left black building. La Flamme d'Or. Flamme d'Or. That's what they call it. I guess you can go inside of it. I'm not really into that, but I'm into what it stands for. It's an ice cold drink and you can get that right here. There's a craft beer bar right there. And Asahi is known for its super dry, which is a mass produced beer. But they do have some craft beers and standing underneath it looks like this. At any moment, the golden poo could fall on us. This sharp point plummeting into the street. And the ice cold beer bar is just below creating a crack that will break the main beer line. My imagination is running wild today.

00:20:39 John Daub: All right. So there is some information here. The Asahi Beer, the Asahi Group Annex. It gives you some information. There's a tap room. I don't think that they make beer here. I believe they have concerts and other events that they hold here. It's for the arts. So they make it artistic. It's a little early for a beer, though. It's just like eleven since five p.m. somewhere. Right. Takeaway. OK. All right. Now I know where to come back to. You get regular ones for 650 and across the street is a distribution. So they're doing something here. I was at this place across the street for an NHK show and the owner makes leather.

00:21:37 John Daub: So let's cross and see if he's in. I do. I didn't call him and that would be rude just to walk into a shop. But it looks like he's doing quite well. Well, the shop's been renovated his factory. He makes leather goods for dudes and everything is made in his warehouse in his factory, which was right there. And that's not him. So we lost the signal for a minute. This is a factory that I went in. And when I was doing the episode with Jennifer Jolliffe, of all people on a Tokyo this area, we went into this shop and we interviewed the owner and saw him making made to order leather goods and you can get that here in Japan. The workmanship is always really good. Handmade leather bags and wallets and things like this. And inside shop he has stuff that's already made or you can order it. And I think it takes a couple of days. I think you put together pretty fast, but I didn't see him in the workshop. The first floor is his workshop. So you can pop your head in and take a look. That's kind of neat. I'm glad that he's renovated the shop. It looks really beautiful. And I'm glad to see that his business is successful. I follow him on Instagram as we follow the trail towards that building up there, which is the Tokyo Skytree.

00:23:03 John Daub: I'm staying in the shade, Megan, to keep the phone nice because, yes, it is getting a little bit hot. Crossing the street into the sun again. Carlos writes in just landed in Tokyo last night. Hey, welcome. Well, welcome to Carlos. I'm just on the Shinkansen now heading to Fukushima on your recommendation. What? Carlos, that's awesome. Which Connor you staying at? Is it Hanakawasei, the one with the onsen inside? Or is it the one in the Bandai or is it the one in the other side of Fukushima? And as I said, my brain's not working. It's morning. That's really good. Thanks for sharing that. That makes me really happy to hear. Happy to hear. All right.

00:24:06 John Daub: When you do live streaming, you have to turn the Wi-Fi off, though, because if your phone is auto connecting to different signals, it'll cut off the live stream. So you have to use all 4G for better or for worse. Boom. Tokyo Skytree, 634 meters. That's almost a kilometer. We could do this. I don't have one of these umbrellas, though. I could use one of these. She's holding an umbrella. I'm holding a gimbal with a smartphone on it. I trade her. But then your live stream would be in Japanese and that wouldn't be good for anybody except for people that are Japanese. So this road takes you to Asakusa. It's quite a famous ancient road now paved. And you can see there's no tourists. It's all locals out here.

00:25:08 John Daub: But my question is, between this, if you do decide to do this walk, what else is there? What do you want to see and do? There are restaurants. There are places to there's a couple of museums. But for the most part, oh, wow, it smells so buttery good. What is that? We are here. So we've walked from us over here past the space boat pier to here. And now we're getting closer to the Skytree, which is right here. So just a straight shot, just a straight shot. I smell bakery. And the thing is, it's like really crowded. Oh, man, is that fresh bread? Give me some. I can't see through that window. We can get a look at it. Oh, there it is. Oh, she closed the door too fast. Bread smells like butter right there. All right. Mental note, delicious smelling bakery on the corner.

00:26:22 John Daub: I will see on the way if we can find some street food as well as we walk towards Asakusa towards the Skytree. If you want to see where we're going, I will put a link in the description. I don't think I did that on this course, but I will do that after this livestream ends. All you have to do is go into Google Maps and Google Tokyo Skytree and you'll see where we're heading. Game center. This looks like a family run game center. Doesn't it? It's kind of unique. Lumondo. Nobody in there. I feel bad for Lumondo. Some of these gachapon look like they're a little bit older. But the cat hats are still here. And the furry friends edition. It's interesting. There's nobody in there. I guess it just opened.

00:27:41 John Daub: This looks like it's from it's a very easy charge information. All 100 yen. All games, one game, 100 yen. Same metal game machines are excluded. All right. So if you do come here, might want to stop to support a local business. I'm not going to because they don't have permission to film in there. It kind of scares me a little bit, to be honest with you. Follow this guy. See how far he's going. Oshiage, traditionally was this really old town. I mean, it just was like nothing there. It was a place that you would just live at. There's a post office, red post box, Japanese post office. Love you guys. It was good work. Mini Aeon supermarket. And then the exit to the Honjo Azumabashi Station. The Toei Asakusa line. So that might give you a little bit of head start. If you stick one more stop past Asakusa 2, you get here, which is a little bit of a head start. It's a nice little restaurant there.

00:29:10 John Daub: We're going to miss this light. That means I'm going to stand in the heat and melt. It's hot. Is there any shadow? There's no shadow. There's no shadow to hide in. I can't cross the street. There's a police box right there. All right. There's a shadow here. Get into this alley here. Tell you, summer is not the best time in the world to visit Tokyo. Wait until September or else you're going to melt. You know, if you could take the heat, everyone from like the Middle East that says, oh, it's not that hot. And you think you can take it. You're dry Middle Eastern heat compared to this sauna bread oven temperature. I'd like to see you try to make it. I think you're so tough. Our temperature gets to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. That's what they could be true. But that's a dry heat. Let's just say I wouldn't want to be in either of the heats. I'll take the cool, crisp autumn.

00:30:32 John Daub: Vegas is 115. It's a dry heat. It's dry. There's no humidity in the desert, although that doesn't make it better. Just makes it drier. But this one just it sucks the life out of you. I'm telling you, Tokyo summer, the Olympics does not have no idea what's about to get them. They're coming at the worst possible time. These are the times where I don't even go outside because you just turn into a raisin. And if you already look like a raisin, imagine what you look like after two weeks of Olympics. Super raisin prune larger Matsuya. This is a you don't chain. This is the competitor to Yoshinoya. But I think Matsuya might be better because they have a vent. They always have vending machines. You see, there's a guy picking a vending machine you can kind of see inside of the shop here. They always have vending machines. So it's very easy to get your meal. Whereas Yoshinoya still does it the old way.

00:31:39 John Daub: There's a premium gyudon for three hundred and eighty yen, that's like three dollars and fifty cents for a bowl. You can make that larger, even larger for a dollar more. But trust me, this is actually a lot of food. So, yeah, if your eyes are bigger than your stomach like me, probably always going for the extra large no matter what. All right. So this area. Wow. And there's a curry restaurant, kitchen and curry. Let's see what they got on the menu. Chicken curry is five hundred and fifty yen. Pork curry, five hundred and eighty and beef curry, six hundred. But I like that katsu curry. Look at that deep fried breaded pork cutlet on top of rice. That would be six hundred and eighty yen. That's six dollars and fifty cents.

00:32:25 John Daub: So Oshiage is a little bit cheaper and way, way, way more laid back compared to Asakusa, which is going to be more expensive because of the tourists. So if you just walk for ten, fifteen minutes away from the center of Asakusa, come over to the other side of the bridge, lunch will be cut in half the price and the quality probably will be a little bit better, too. There's a Lawson's right here. And there's a funny story about this Lawson's. A lot of people who've been to Japan, it's just a staple. It's one of the big three convenience stores. Everybody knows Lawson's. You've been here. But Lawson's originally comes from this great state of Ohio, go bucks, because back at the turn of the century, the 20th century, Lawson's was like a milk dairy farm. They sold milk and stuff. That's what the milk canister is on there.

00:33:19 John Daub: A Canadian brand bought them and then the Canadian brand said, hey, let's expand into Japan and started building, I believe, in like the 1970s or 80s. And then, yeah, that's what happened. The Canadian company went out of business. But Lawson's stayed. They stayed in Japan. And that's the same with Tully's Coffee. Tully's Coffee comes from the Pacific Northwest in the United States. And that went out of business in America. But it's still here in Japan because the brand is strong, strong like wood. And right now, Lawson's is not that strong, actually. Of the three convenience stores, Lawson's probably is number three right now. Of the three big, big ones. But they're finding ways to innovate. They're very big down in Shikoku. And certain parts of Japan, Lawson's is the place to go.

00:34:07 John Daub: I like this sign here right across. So technically, bicycles are supposed to stay on the road. And I keep telling people this because of my Eshima Ohashi, Japan's most terrifying bridge. I was riding on the road and everyone goes, why don't you ride on the sidewalk? You're not allowed to. Even on the sign, you can see you're supposed to do it like this. But they say that you can ride your bicycle on the sidewalk, but you can't ride your bicycle slowly on the sidewalk. And pedestrians should you should yield to pedestrians. If a bike hits a pedestrian, it's always going to be the biker's fault. Stay on the roads. So when you run a bike, stay on the roads. And a lot of the places now you can see the arrows on the streets. They have bike paths. I guess you can call them that. But if you hug the curb, your curb hugger, then you'll be just fine. You won't have any problems with that.

00:35:07 John Daub: But I have insurance on my bicycle. It came with my bicycle up to a million yen. If I bang into somebody and harm them, I paid a little bit extra just for this insurance. But never really ride on the sidewalks anyways. It's just something that you should keep in mind. Stick to the roads. You also move faster and the drivers are usually, oh, man, I'm after I saw that breaded pork cutlet curry. Curry. I'm still getting hungry. Oh, it's America. America's here. And then that's not that's America. Oh, say, can you see? And they've had a Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse here by the dawn. The lie. What's so proudly we deep fry. Then it's pretty cool. I guess what makes us American? I don't know. It's the kids special. That's how we get that, though. I'm not even a kid. It's a children's set. But and it comes with a toy. I'm coming back here. Can I date time? Can I date getting that she can have the mini? I'll take the Mickey.

00:36:28 John Daub: How much are bicycles in Japan? You ever wonder that they start around 12,000 yen. About one hundred dollars. And these go up to eighteen thousand for the normal mama chari. This one has three gears on it. That's not one speed. I think that's a three speed and then they can get up into the twenty seven hundreds and for that you get a sweeter looking ride with five years. And the more gears you have, the more that the price goes up. But as my dad says, the more gears you have, the more chances of having problems. Sometimes a one speed is just the best one. And I have to say that he's right. I've had a lot of problems. The more gears I had, that is a really cute looking cafe. Azumabashi Parloir. Parloir? Parah. I think they didn't need the i. It's okay. Still looks really cute. Yeah. And all the bicycles mama chari, they call them, which means like old lady chariots, mama chari, they come with baskets, of course. Because how do you do your shopping without a basket? Come on. Of course, you're going to have a basket.

00:38:05 John Daub: So I'm getting reports that P.A.R.L.O.I.R. is French. Thank you, Kaiser. Didn't know that. So it is authentic. We have been traveling now for thirty eight minutes. For those of you've been watching all six hundred and sixty seven of you. And now if you look up, you can see we are now towering over us is the Tokyo Skytree. Every step we take, we're getting a little bit closer and you can see just the awesomeness of the structure and it truly is awesome. Pattern of it. It's earthquake proof in the center of it is a concrete base. I think they said that absorbs 50 percent of any earthquake. It's very nice. People stop to take pictures and look up and marvel at the magnanimous, just the bigness, largeness of this katana sword called the Tokyo Skytree. I like that name, though, the Tokyo Skytree. Some of the other names was like Edo Tower and Tower of the East. Things like this Skytree just seems to fit. It's something like it's so original. I never saw this before.

00:39:29 John Daub: This is a little park shaped like a boat. You'll see this on this walk. It's kind of neat. Kids will like it. Hey, Daddy, I'm on a boat. Look, I'm crossing. I just went up the stairs. I'm on the bow. Titanic scene. Use your imagination. We're almost there. I'm melting. It's getting very hot. The last time I did this walk was at least five years ago. Probably a lot more. I haven't seen. Look at that. We're not that far away. We're not that far away because there it is. We've just arrived. And with that. We just we're right here. That in the center of your screen is the Solamachi or the shopping mall at the base of the Tokyo Skytree. And any time somebody goes to Tokyo Skytree, you go into the Solamachi. It's just like, oh, Skytree and Solamachi. It's together because they are. They're built. It's built into it.

00:40:37 John Daub: A couple of things I want to show you before we go over to the Tokyo Skytree. Let's pay our respects to Oshiage, which is the station closest to the Skytree. And a town that could always use a little bit more love. You always use a little bit more love. So let's go see and explore a little bit of Oshiage. It's a very weird billboard. Do they have any clothes on? Calm down. All right. I believe this restaurant here, if it's still in operation, is where you would buy the Skytree tendon. Is it still in operation? Fifty fifty chance that it is the Skytree tendon. Was this massive. I don't see it. Some of these businesses have gone out of business. Is that there? Looks like a delicious egg. Sukiya. Kanae likes Matsuya. No, they don't have it anymore. It's a pub restaurant. I don't see it. I used to be on the corner there. That's it right there. Yeah. Kamimura. It's closed. Kamimura. I don't know if they're still open anymore. They're doing the laundry up there on the top floor. Family run business.

00:42:05 John Daub: But they used to have the Skytree tendon, a tower of shrimp tempura shrimp inside of a bowl on top of a bowl of rice. And that tempura tendon was just really good. It was kind of a food challenge, but now it's gone. So let's walk down the streets of Oshiage a little bit. It's pretty neat how Tokyo has taken these payphones, places that I used to use 20 years ago. Now and turn them into Wi-Fi. These are going to be the 5G locations as well. So 5G is coming to Tokyo and 5G does not have a very long distance. It doesn't travel through buildings or around trees. So 5G is going to be installed at booths as well as traffic lights. They're installing them now all over the city. So we'll have 5G running before the Olympics. But still won't be a robust operation because a lot of phone makers aren't adding 5G. So we're going to have to wait and see if we can get 5G into them yet. Apple, Apple, Apple, Apple.

00:43:17 John Daub: Let's see what this restaurant has on offer. All right. There's some sets here. This one is a sashimi set for 1000 yen. Very, very inexpensive. If you go into Solamachi inside of the shopping mall, you're going to find a lot of restaurants. There's a really nice cafe inside there. A lot of there's a famous gyutan, which is a beef tongue restaurant. But you'll find deals that are even cheaper supporting local businesses out here. And you can see they might need a little bit of love. This is lunchtime. It's now 12. I don't know if Domino's needs a little bit of love. Domino's Japan. Hey, Steven Tice in the house. Get yourself a drink, John. Thank you, Steven. I'm going to do that in like five seconds, I think. Don't count, though. I'm making my way there. There's a couple of vending machines. Lito Sparkles. Thank you so much. That's so cute. These animated emoji are so awesome.

00:44:20 John Daub: A Domino's in Japan switched from motorbikes to bikes and the battery powered bicycles. I think that's really cool. And I think it's good that these kids are getting exercise. They're working a little bit harder, but the battery makes them work a little bit less because I know in the summer it can be so hot and they do they are wearing helmets in Japan. Helmets are not worn with bicycles here. It's just not a thing. And to be honest with you, more people die of head injuries from cars than they do with bicycles. Technically, it doesn't make sense. Kids, close your ears and listen to your mom when she says to put on your helmet. She do that. But when you're riding a bicycle that looks like this, you're just getting around. It's no more dangerous than it is if you're walking and nobody wears helmets when they ride bicycles in Japan, because the chance of you falling off and hitting your head is higher in a car. And why don't we wear helmets in cars, I'm just saying.

00:45:25 John Daub: But they do wear helmets if you ride motorbikes and you're surrounded by a happy staff, but this does smells really good. What do they got here? A Quattro. Japanese love when they're with their pizza. They love to take the pizza and move them into four different areas of set toppings. They call them the Quattro. And it's really good. That one looks delicious. Move away before you start eating Domino's pizza. Domino's Pizza in Japan, McDonald's in Japan. The chains in Japan, they all have very unique menus that are made in Japan. So I think if you do go to an American chain, you're going to be surprised with the offerings, especially Domino's and the price, because it's pizza here is priced to feed a family. So it's a little bit more expensive than in the United States. Double. But it's worth it. If you miss home. All right.

00:46:14 John Daub: This neighborhood has changed. A lot of the mom and pop shops have gone out of business. There's Kimura, which is a bakery across the street. But apart from that, just not a lot of the old mom and pop shops are left. So Oshiage has changed. Let's make our way. We're hanging a left, which means left. And you can see Solamachi, the shopping mall here. And there was no reason to go in right away. I think is to take a look at the town and see how that's changed. It's changed a lot. When I came here for NHK to film this, these were all local businesses and even these alleys had stuff in them. And now it just seems like the Skytree and Solamachi has sucked the power out of the town in a way.

00:47:21 John Daub: That is really high. 634 meters, 2,080 feet. We now stand below the Skytree. But I haven't completely arrived until I touch the Skytree. So the next thing I will do is use these hands to touch it for you. You have come with me one mile. This is not even that far. You've come with me one mile and we're going to go and touch the metal base of the Skytree one way, one place. We cannot end this. This is Gundam sword. Gundam sword right there. We will touch you for Ramsey Silent. Must be touched in Ramsey's. Can I and I thank you for all that you do for us. We went on a date last night. I'm going to send you a picture for it. And we always appreciate it. Ramsey Silent is a good guy. All right, let's make our way to go and touch Gundam sword. The katana. We will cross shortly.

00:48:23 John Daub: But first, there's this stuffed panda bear, which looks like it's suffering in the heat. How do you do, sir? I see. You have seen better days. Hey, look, that's us. Hey, everybody, you're in the mirror. And this is another reason to stop by the stand because you can take selfies and you can do it with the little panda bear and a plastic model of lunch. Oh, that's so cool. I love Japan. Hey, everybody. Selfie, selfie. All right. And you got to get that out of my system. You can see there's some celebrities that made their way here. Panda being their biggest mascot. So for those of you who have the guts to journey away from the Solamachi shopping mall in the Skytree, make your way to the Panda Juice bar and have yourself a juice. Me, I will be back.

00:49:20 John Daub: This is a walking tour and you can make telephone calls if you know how to use these phones. And there's millennials probably going, what is that telephone? It's all right. It's nice. Thank you. Rotary phones. That's right, Jim. It's cool. You can get them at some of the second hand shops here. I might just get one for decoration. I just like having that. They made that was really hard plastic back then. Love your long and informative live streams. Makes my chores become easy while watching your channel. Chame Take. Thank you so much. Appreciate that very much. I'm going to now get a drink because I'm parched. I would go in there and get something because I want to support the local businesses. But the problem is that it's going to take like 10 minutes to get a drink. And we've been going for 50. My goal for this live stream is an hour.

00:50:19 John Daub: All right. Let's see here. What? No. Do you guys remember? There's a live stream not that long ago and I was looking for Sprite. And now Sprite is back and it's back real strong. They put it right in the middle of the vending machine. Look at that Sprite. I haven't seen Sprite for ages. It's pretty crazy. Oh, there's a delicious Romanian drink. So we had that at the Ghost Town live stream about three weeks ago. Oh, man. I don't want Sprite. I just kind of wanted water. All right. You know what? We're going to walk. There used to be a 7-Eleven. There it is right there. Let's go to the 7-Eleven convenience store. Run. 7-Eleven run into this convenience store. Not allowed to film in there. So hide your camera.

00:51:19 John Daub: The thing is, you know, YouTube doesn't give us live streamers a lot of controls on queuing up transitional music. I like a button. I like to push that automatically changes some screen lights. Time to enter 7-Eleven. And then we're back here and I could start up another segment. We don't have that option as live streamers. And it's kind of a shame as we walk past the Skytree. I'm going to go and touch it for you. For those of you who have never touched the Skytree, I'm about to do that. But first, I need to get a drink. I don't want to give the people across the street the pleasure of my money. All right. The prices to get into the Skytree, it's kind of expensive. You can get a dual ticket if you buy it online for about twenty seven dollars. Oh, capsule toys. So you can get your fix inside here and support a local business. I always go across the street. Nice. That's a lot of capsules they got in here. I bet you could find what you're looking for. Do they have drinks in a capsule? Don't know. It's very cool.

00:52:38 John Daub: What you can get like omiyage here. Check that out. Animals of shrines. It's pretty cool. All right. Let's get out of here. We need to get a drink. Oh, soba ramen. It's like a ramen shop here. Very cool. So slice of life in Japan. All right. Let's get in here and get a drink. Follow that lady. I got a strawberry sandwich here last time I went in. Let's just do this real quickly. Drinks are in the back. What do we got here? We've got. Well, there's the Fanta. Oh, look, they have big bottles of water just here freezing in the back. It feels so good inside the convenience store. It's another reason to just stop in here. Oh, they've got the clear Cola still. But this year, the clear Coca Cola has lime in it. So the label is not as clear. It's hard to see the clear goodness. And I'm just going to get a bottle of water. It's kind of boring, but there's nothing I really want. Hojicha. It's also a good popular favorite that doesn't have any caffeine in it. So people like this and mugicha, which is barley tea (mugicha). Barley tea is really good. And that's cheaper than water. What? Maybe I should get you know what? The heck with this. I'm getting the barley tea.

00:54:20 John Daub: Barley tea, barley tea. You taste so good. And it's like 100 milliliters more than 600 milliliters. That's big. Everybody gonna. Oh, bread. Everybody, I want lunch. And this yakisoba pan looks real good. Everybody. All right. Looks good, too. All right. No, pass, pass. Support local businesses. All right. Gari gari ume. Crunchy pickled plums. I'm not. Pass. Oh, that lady just snaked. She got in front of me. Hyaku en. Hyaku en. Aru kana? Goju. Ju nanaju. Hachiju. Kyuju. Hyaku. Thank you. All right. I'm going to be singing this. Seven Eleven has these Beatles songs and songs from the 70s. Does resonate with me as a product of the 70s. All right.

00:55:45 John Daub: How can Seven Eleven be tax free? Mugi tea to those about to touch. We're going now to touch the Skytree. Cheers. Oh, man. Mugi tea. It's got some vitamins in it. It's very healthy. It's great in summer and people make it a lot at home. I'm ready for part three. I don't remember making a part two. We're not going to enter the Skytree and we're going to touch it. I'm going to touch it for you. If you've never been to the Skytree, now you can say you have with me together. We were here. Counts for something. How do we get in here? There is a local bus. You see that right now going back and forth. Just back forth right now. It's going. It's a local bus. I think it's about 100 yen. But the subway station for this, which is on the Hanzomon line. You can go here directly from Shibuya. It's quite far. It's about 40 minutes, I think. And the Asakusa line. They say Asakusa on the subway.

00:57:20 John Daub: And there's a what? There's a naked kid. What? Sometimes kids don't wear any clothes. You can't zoom in. But look, mom's smart. You don't want to have to wet clothes all day. Or they could be from another Asian country. Oh, should I walk through there? Do I dare? Do I dare walk through? Thanks for all that you do for us, Zenko. Thank you very much, Zenko. Should I walk through that for entertainment purposes? No adult is doing it. What? I would be the only adult ever to walk through there. Should I do it? Would I? Would I do it? I don't know. I don't know. Should I? All right. I do. I can make it to the center there. All right, let's do this. OK. All right. We're safe. Safety, safety, safety numbers. Safety numbers. All right. I'm going right between you. That felt so good. OK. Whoa, that's awesome. What is this? It's like a rocket engine air conditioner. That was nice. I'm much cooler than I was. I'm going to go very nice.

00:59:03 John Daub: I'm not going to kick a kid who wrote that. Benjamin, just kidding. I know this is a she. This is a she. All right. Let's go in here and touch a Skytree. We've come here to touch the Skytree. So many kids because this is the coolest place in the entire area. All right. In order to get to the Skytree, we've got to go inside. There's a chance that we might lose a signal. So bear with me as we walk through really quickly this Solamachi shopping mall. But the good thing is you'll get a chance to take a look at the Solamachi, which is pretty neat through this entrance. It looks like a really old shopping arcade. You see here, this kind of resembles the market at Asakusa. Why can't I? It's not coming to me right now. The name of the market in front of Asakusa. Oh, come to me. Hey, Ting, thank you. Ting is here. Yeah. All right.

01:00:18 John Daub: We're going out for ladies fashion and sweets, apparently. But you can hear they do have traditional Japanese music. I don't know. To me, I'm always been divided because the shopping mall here has kind of brought a lot of tourists, but they all stay in and around the Skytree, which is a shame. I always try to look for places outside of here to eat lunch. See, but this is such a cool place. It's hard. It's hard not to enjoy the Skytree. You know what I mean? A lot of people are shaking their heads. No, we don't know what you mean. We've never been there. Oh, cake. Delicious cake. Smells good. Keep walking.

01:01:19 John Daub: We are now inside of the Solamachi shopping mall and we're going to our final mission, which is to confirm the prices of the tickets for the Skytree. But more than that, we're going to check out the Skytree. Oh, there's Jennifer's Calpis. Jennifer Jolliffe's products can be found inside the shop. Calpis. If you go in there, sometimes you'll see her face on some of the products. She's like that. She's holding up a bottle of wine. We love Jennifer on this show. No woman has more passion for food than Jennifer. No passion for life. The Tembo Deck. That means we're here. We just have to exit. Oh, do you see outside that window? Hey, Ramsey, look how big the sword is for Mr. Gundam. Look at this. Each one of those things that looks so small is massive. That's a big Q-tip. Look at that. Whoa. Looks like a science project. All right, we're back, everybody.

01:02:26 John Daub: Trying to make the tickets are on the fourth floor, apparently. So I'm not trucking. I'm in overdrive right now. Kids, you better move out of the way. John is coming real fast. He's coming hot. You got to stand. They're not doing it right. Supposed to stand on the left. Let us walk up on the right. They're not doing it. Probably from not around here. The breaking the rules. Rule like rule breakers. Totally doing it. OK, run, run, run. Get outside with the signal. We're so close. Ramsey silent to touching the Skytree. This is where you would wait for like 20 years to get in. Lufthansa. Pause for a second so you can let that soak in. On the left side, they have various towers. Just to show inspiration for the design. And now I'm going to go and try to touch the tower. Let's do this.

01:03:38 John Daub: The door magically open the power of my hand. She's about to get more powerful when I touch this Skytree. Is there a place to touch it? There it is above us. How do I touch it? No, no, no. How do I touch the side of it? I want to touch it behind glass. Can you go in there and do it? That's where I was just a little while ago. On the other side of the glass. That's when the signal died. It's got to be a place to touch it. I touched the glass. Is that good enough? Ramsey silent. I want to be able to say that we've touched the Skytree. So I remember this courtyard was usually crowded with tourists today. It's not crowded at all. How do I touch the Skytree? This is kind of not the ideal situation to end the live stream. Can I touch the building? Does that count? But right now we've got, like, some reggae music going on. This is just weird how the Skytree has evolved over the last 20 years. Ten years, nine, eight years. It opened in 2012. So this is we're coming up on the eighth year.

01:05:07 John Daub: So the ticket price is inside. Let's get a quick look. So there's some guests, no, no, no filming, no cameras. Please do not bring any weapons. No animals. Please do not conduct video shootings or recordings or interviews intended for commercial purposes. All right. I have no intention to do commercial shooting at all. No, just pass. But if you do have web tickets, you don't have to wait in line. Just another just something to looking. I don't see this a place to touch the Skytree. So I'm going to touch this. Ramsey silent. I'm touching this. The Skytree. I'm a mascot. So come to the Skytree and touch what I just touched. Touch the same thing. We will have touched it together. I'm a unicorn and my horns can touch the sky. There you go. All right. So go and touch that mascot's face.

01:06:26 John Daub: So it's some information on this on the Tokyo Skytree. Wow. This flyer is really long. It's hard to narrow down just one piece of information for you. But according to the Internet, it's 2,080 yen. To get to the other map already ripped. It is 2,080 yen to get to the top. The first observation deck is 350 meters. The second observation deck is 450 meters. That's like well over a thousand feet. And it costs 2,080 yen to get to that first deck. And then another I believe it was like 1,030 yen to get to the highest deck so it can cost thirty dollars to get up there. But if you get it on the Internet, you save about 10 percent, I believe. So that could be worth it to you. I don't know. I think you could see just about everything from 350 meters up. You don't have to go up to 450 meters.

01:07:24 John Daub: But wait, I could have taken the stairways. I didn't have to go to the shopping mall. Look, that's where we were. That's where we were walking down there. Like remember the Panda Cafe? That's like right there. And then I could have taken these steps. What? What? All right. Note to self. Take steps. Don't walk through mall again. There's those naked kids playing down there. There you go. All right. If you'd like to see more Skytree, we need to get to 400 likes, this is pretty weak, guys. Again, like audience participation is everything with these live streams. Without you, there is no live stream. Without live streaming, there is no channel. And without your likes, there's no fuel to continue. It's a simple recipe. Like. We're down six hundred. Seven. We had like eight hundred people watching. We have like two hundred likes. What's going on? This is completely, completely broken system. Slightly disappointed.

01:08:30 John Daub: Oh, it's a discarded ticket. Oh, let's see what we have here. Discarded ticket. This is a deck ticket. Ten. Well, they went all the way to the top. This ticket, it's a web ticket. And that's what it looks like on the back. Ticket looks like this. I like the logo of the Skytree. It's really nice. Skytree Terrace Tours. So they're doing some more stuff. I like the website for the Tokyo Skytree. And I saw that they have so many different types of events. Don't smash it red, because if someone breaks their iPhone, they can blame me. Just lightly touch it. Lightly tap it. Some YouTubers will say some YouTubers like smash that like button. And then people, some people break their phones and then send them a bill. Oh, all right. All right.

01:09:27 John Daub: So this is this is one of these below zero cider experiences. I will do this for you if we can get to 450 likes. All right. I will do this for you. This is a cider that when you open it, it turns into ice. It's being chilled at below zero. And when you supposedly when you open it, just freezes from the oxidation or something. So I will try this if it's up to you. It's up to you. You watching the other side. I'm not pointing my finger through the camera to you and pulling your finger. To click that like button on the other side. All right. As we get to make our way to 450 likes. I'm not just going to take you a quick trip around here. This is where Kanae and I were on one of our first dates, by the way. I took her here to the Skytree and that window there allows I guess that's a Starbucks from there we remember we would sit there and you'd have amazing views looking back at the Tokyo Skytree.

01:10:41 John Daub: So if you want to experience our first date. I think it was like that was our first day. And yeah, we're going to have to come back here again. Of course, I've got bubble tea and all the trendy drinks. If beer could be trendy, but it's up to you guys. I mean, I don't know. Four hundred and fifty is not that not too big of a number. All right. Let's go take a look now at the Skytree. I can't go through this way. I'm going to wrap my way around and get a frozen vending machine drink for you. Lunch. Getting really hungry. I do appreciate all of the super chats that's paying for my lunch and a gift for Kanae. I'm going to get her omiyage gift from here. Much appreciated.

01:11:28 John Daub: All right. Be a part of history. Click the like button and we've done it. The pressure's on me now. You have put the pressure on me as we as we are in the shadow of the Tokyo Skytree. I shall now lengthen this live stream beyond what I was willing to do for you. Because you've done your part from this point. And I'm not going to stand up here. You could see and look back at the course that we took. There is the Golden Poo, the Asahi Tower building over there. And we've walked one point five miles to get to this point. So we've done it. Thank you, everybody. This kid is enjoying the air conditioning blaster. His mouth is open. This is what it looks like from your angle looking into it. You've experienced it, too. And now let's go. Let's go from this from here to the frozen. Like nobody. I bet you nobody knows that that machine exists. Last year, that was the talk of the town. This frozen cider vending machine. Let's go do this. All right.

01:12:43 John Daub: It's very cool. We've gotten over 450 likes and your reward is an extended live stream with a crazy drink that is going to change the course of today's history for us. Me, mostly. You not so much, but you get a good chance to take a look at it. All right. I'm putting this tripod onto the base of the gimbal. And now I'm going to go and get this drink. Is he going to get it first? Mr. Doss has read my mind. Let's let them let them have their moment. He really wants that drink. If I order it now, he's going to order a melon soda. We have to wait for him to just the natural process. Yeah, it's been if you just let them they'll eventually move on on their own. Just let them go. All right. It's been wheeled away. He's found another drink. OK, let's do this. All right. Here we go. We're getting this, which is a minus five degrees cool coolness. We're going to see if this works here. Push the button now. Use your sweet guy.

01:14:25 John Daub: He's really interested in what I just took. All right. We got to quickly open this. Put it down. Here we go. Does it freeze up? It's supposed to start turning into ice. Is it doing it? Oh, it's doing it. Do you see that? Do you see that? Did it? Do you see the ice inside of it? That's awesome. That's awesome. It's iced over. Do you see that inside? It's really awesome. All right, let's try this. That's really good. Just pieces of ice in it. Someone says shake it. Snook potter. I don't know if I shake it. That'll just like shake it. I don't think it did anything. Process is called supercooling. And now how do you drink it very slowly? You're going to get a brain freeze. This is a nice place to enjoy a cold beer. I think I'm going to do that. But we've got 77 minutes in the last three. And I think the beer would cost at least five hundred and fifty likes for that one. And you can get it inside here. There's a couple of places and I'd be the only one I'd be drinking alone. Everyone be looking at me. I like and I like that. Some people will be like, oh, no, they're looking at me. I'm alone and drinking. And then I'll say that's not that bad because again, like I got a cold beer and you don't so there the ice is starting to melt. It's not just an iceberg on the top. That's still super cool. That's just super cool. Super cool. All right.

01:17:23 John Daub: Let's see. I'm trying to see if I can get in there. They fenced. They fenced this off. Some rowdy people have kicked the fence down right here. Do you see? I wonder if you can just go in there and have a beer. Or do I need to actually buy do I need to buy a whole dinner? I think I could just get a drink. I'll be the only one there. I don't mind at all. But it's up to you. How about five hundred and fifty likes? I can only like it once. Mr. Doss, he's like, you know, who does that? Dr. Zork. Dr. Zork. He does manual overrides all the time. He'll just push it just like because, you know what, John, here's twenty dollars override. I'm not playing your game. Just take the money and get the drink. All right. Last view for the Skytree. I'm going to try and see if we can get the beer for Mr. Doss because it's going to taste a little bit better than it's going to taste a little bit better than this than this sweet drink. Although there's nothing wrong with it. Cider is really good.

01:18:30 John Daub: I remember I met another guy who was traveling to Japan and he asked me about the vending machine. I told him where I got mine last year, but that machine had ended. So right now this is one of the few places in Tokyo where you can still get it. All right. Let's see if I can go and get I don't want I just want to get a beer. Can I do that? We're one away from five hundred, by the way. All right. We just got five hundred likes. To me, it's just about this is about being a part of something bigger than yourself. That's why you click the like button, because now it's not it's more it's about more than just the beer. It's about that. We did this together. And to me, that's what it's all about. It says do not enter. Well, where do I enter? Mr. Doss, let's put it towards let's put it towards good use here. Let's look up a beer garden. This is what it's called. I don't know how to get in. How do I get in? I'm just going to enter. All right. I've entered. How do I get out? Here's the entrance here. I found it. But how do I get the I just waved at the girls. They're like, how dare you just entered here? All right.

01:20:07 John Daub: I want to get I want to get a beer. I guess you have to check in here. All right. I'm going to try. I'm going to ask her about this right now. So I got the car. I've got to do my stuff. So I've got in the wrong way. Apparently, if you want to eat this is here's the process, folks. Hey, come back. Here is a process of how this beer garden works. If you want to order a packaged food, which is like thirty dollars, you have to pay their enter not from where I entered and then they'll give you it. But I just want a beer because me and Mr. Doss are having a thing. So we're going to go get it on the other side. This is the way we do it. That's not a guy push. This is a live stream push because if there's like seven hundred people inside of my phone. Now, so let's just go and do that. There's a Kirby. What's a Kirby? Sound like an animation character. It's got some weird looking food over there. Kids are like that. Let's just go get the beer. I think those ladies, they were looking, they were laughing at me. I just wanted a beer, man.

01:21:19 John Daub: Let's just do it right here. I like. But you're not going to meet the Catholic. Just super dry. Some duck committee. I think you're going to get it from here. Check it out. You're going to watch this board fresh. I have to say, you're going to see it. Oh, there it is right there. Boom. Hot day. This is our ending. Everybody, we've done it. We've done it. Did you see that little happy ending there? Come on. I have to say, I said, who asked about it. All right. I'm going to come over here. There's some seats. I find a seat. All right. So this right here and we get a chance to share like the golden the golden poo building that I just passed the wind starting to pick up. You're now on a table. You've joined me for a drink. Turn the camera around because behind us, everybody behind us took a Skytree. And we're together with a beer. Come by. It's about enjoying your time.

01:23:16 John Daub: Come to Tokyo. I think that walking around the city is the best way to see a lot of things. You'll be able to about you don't travel to just to go to sites brought in 1996. I went to Europe 45 days standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. And I was all alone. I saw the Mona Lisa and I said, OK, there's going to be more traveling than just seeing monuments. And there is it's about exploring and finding things and meeting. That's what to me is not traveling. It's more than just the monuments. It's more about the food, the experience that you get that's around them, everybody else feels from this area. I really appreciate it. Mr. Doss, that wind is super dry. It is moderators 550 likes. I really love that. And see you in the next live stream. I have something special planned for this weekend. Hope you like it. So moderators, I will give you updates on our Discord server. See you and have a good day. Good night. Bye bye from Skytree and this beer. Thanks, everybody. Cheers.
