You're joining me in a very special city. Let's start with my preconceptions: I expected Japan's

程度の副詞

capital, and home to the world's largest urban population to be over the top and really

基礎受動態

in your face, with neon lights and anime at every turn and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

The streets are lined with towering, multi-storey buildings, each filled with mind bending department

stores and arcades, offices to some of the world's biggest brands and restaurants serving

But despite all the apparent madness and chaos, spend a few days in Tokyo and it just makes

sense. Here, efficiency is an art form. Japanese attention to detail is legendary, and it runs

through everything, from food to public transport and urban planning. And yes, even the toilets.

This trip was an educational and weirdly enlightening experience. I've been lucky to visit a lot

of amazing places making these videos, but Tokyo is in a league of its own.

So Tokyo, it's big, it's busy and it's brilliant. As ever, let's start with the airports.

00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,680 Flying from the UK you'll come into one of Tokyo's two major international airports,

Haneda or Narita. Of course, you don't need me to tell you that Tokyo is a really

long way away, direct flights from Europe will take a whopping 12 hours for the nine

So you've got Haneda airport which is roughly 13 miles south of the city, and then you've

got 50 miles east. Fortunately, both are really easy to get to noisy noisy Tokyo. Here's

From Haneda you have three main options, the airport limousine bus, a taxi or the monorail.

The airport limousine takes between 30 and 45 minutes, stopping at most major hotels

in the centre of town, with prices increasing for the night service between midnight and

A taxi should take about half an hour depending on traffic, with prices depending where you're

being dropped off. There's also a 20% extra charge between 10pm and 5am.

However the quickest option is the airport's dedicated monorail. It'll get you into Hamamatsucho

station in 13 minutes and from here you can connect to the circular Yamanote metro line

The monorail runs between 9 and 7 on weekdays and then 9 to 5 on weekends and public holidays.

That's Haneda! Here's what you need to know about Narita.

Narita is a whopping 50 miles east of Tokyo, so all of your transport options are going

to take a while. The Airport Limousine bus and taxis runs from Narita but both will take

anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours to reach central Tokyo. Instead, take the JR

Narita Express. It'll whisk into town in a little under an hour, and with this being

Japan, the trains are on time and super efficient.

A word of warning about getting home; if you're flight's on a Sunday, make sure you check

the train times because there's a reduced service. Check your departure time, and then

allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport.

I cannot stress enough how huge Tokyo is, so if you were planning on doing most of your

sightseeing by foot, I'd give that a serious rethink. You're going to need to use the

The metro can be pretty daunting at first glance: for starters, just looking at the

map alone could prove a little overwhelming to even the most seasoned traveller; AND to

make things really complicated, it's run by two separate companies – Tokyo Metro and

Toei Subway which can require two separate fares depending on which lines you use.

It's not all bad though – we've found easy solutions to travel better on the metro.

The first thing to do is get yourself a tourist travel card. This means you won't have to

worry about which line you're using as your card will cover them all. They're available

at the Tokyo Metro information centres in Ueno, Ginza, Shinjuku and Omotesando stations,

as well as both airports and some hotels. You'll need proof that you're a tourist so

make sure you have your passport with you.

Otherwise, single tickets are available at vending machines at every metro station. They

have an English language option and you can search by station to make sure you purchase

the appropriate ticket. They only accept credit cards when buying day passes, so make sure

you have enough cash if you're buying a single.

As well as making sure you have the right ticket type, there's a few things you're gonna need

No smoking and giving up priority seats are a given, however did you know you shouldn't

use your mobile? Ok, Texting and wifi is fine, but definitely no phone calls.

It can get very crowded so many services provide women only carriages during rush hour.

Avoid using the metro between 8 and 9 in the morning and 5 and 6 in the evening when it's

busiest. Another thing, don't be fooled by the abundance of vending machines; you

either eat there, or you take it with you but definitely do not eat on the carriage.

As for navigation, good old City Mapper has been a godsend as ever. Why? Because I kid you not, the metro

stations are absolutely mahoosive. The great thing is, City Mapper tells you exactly where

you need to get off and at what stop and at what exit.

So that's the metro, next taxis. They're absolutely everywhere in Tokyo. They start

at ¥710 and have a surcharge after 10pm, so watch out for that. Taxi doors are automatic

and will open and close by themselves, which can be really surprising for the first time

you use a taxi here in Tokyo. It's also worth mentioning that your driver is unlikely to

speak English, so try to have addresses printed in Japanese for them.

So that's the transport covered. Next up is my favourite: the food!

Take it from me, the food in Tokyo doesn't just rival any other city, it completely surpasses

them. In 2017, for the 10th year running, Tokyo was voted the most Michelin stars of

any other city on the planet. That's more than London, Paris and New York combined.

And it's not just the fancy high-end restaurants either. Just about all the food I had in Tokyo

was of exceptional quality, right down to a quick bite in a department store. The quality

of the ingredients and the attention to detail in the preparation is unlike any other city

So to learn more about how to eat like a local, I met up with tour guide and translator Ayako

While waiting for our food to arrive, I got a quick lesson in how to correctly use chopsticks,

So. I'm sorry, I'm left handed, but, so, please hold your one stick with your, so,

And add another chopstick like a pen too.

With chopsticks fully mastered it was on to our main course of soba noodles.

So we ordered different types of soba noodles. So yours is hot broth, hot soup.
