      10:47 I think you were supposed to go for dinner 😂 which is also something that always happen to me when I'm in Tokyo. Too many nice distractions haha

      Omg, I literally followed your guide in Kichijoji 2 weeks ago when we visited Tokyo. We went to the Katsu set place you rec. It was delicious. Thanks! 😊😊

      We were at Kichijoji last Friday .. there is this Hokkaido Bakery near Hikiniku to Come with a constant long queue from morning till evening .. didn’t had time to queue as it was our first time exploring this neighbourhood … enjoying the early Sakuras appearing around Tokyo

      We were exploring Daikanyama on a Saturday ….chill nice neighbourhood and not overly crowded compared to Omote Sando

      I’m so inspired and yearn so badly to travel like you guys. 😩🚀🛬
      You seem so well traveled in Japan! And a lot of places seem very local, do you guys speak a little Japanese to be able to buy/order wherever you go?

      Hate to swoon in your comments section, but the gentleman [barista] in the coffee shop is very handsome ☺️🤭

      Ugh the green celine bag..! 😩❤‍🔥
      Loving the vibes of this neighborhood, will def go on my next visit.. Thank you for another lovely video! <3

      I could not for the life of me remember the name of that coffee shop at the beginning of the video – Andoh. I had their coffee last year and was taken aback by how tasty their latte was but forgot their name. Thank you for including that note in the video!

      I love Sangenjaya! I used to live there, a few minutes walk from Obscura Coffee. I love that coffe shop even though i dont drink coffee. I sometimes just walk towards that area just to smell their coffee. There is also a gyoza shop between the station and Obscura coffee that is famous. I am glad to see people try and explore other parts of Japan and food👌 Please try Jiyugaoka, Nakameguro area…just in case you have not explored that area☺️
