Tokyo Tourist sites you MUST SEE | Knife Shopping, Street Karts, Kill Bill Restaurant
Ginza is a fantastic place to stay in Tokyo, Japan. Stay here to be near the best of EVERYTHING! These are some of the top sites for Tokyo tourism you must see when you visit Japan.
Ginza is close to fantastic restaurants, shopping, knife stores, the Imperial Palace and more!
We landed in Tokyo on a beautiful late spring afternoon. We'll spend 2 and a half days here dining, riding Street Karts (don't you dare call them Mario Karts!) visiting the Imperial Palace Gardens and shopping for knives.
We did our Duo Lingo to master a few key Japanese phrases, and we were ready to GO! We also watched several helpful ‎@TabiEats videos as well!
We stayed in a standard king bed room at the AC Hotel Ginza, part of the Marriott hotel chain. Our son had a standard double room across the hall. Our hotel stay included 1 day of free breakfast but it's not automatically included.
After checking in we headed out to Gonpachi restaurant, the inspiration behind a famous fight scene in Kill Bill. While this restaurant inspired the look, the actual scene was about in China. It was shown in black and white in the film to avoid an NC-17 rating.
Back out on the street after dinner we went to Shibuya Scramble Crossing the busiest pedestrian Crossing in the world. Lits of shopping to do once you cross the street. We went to Uniqlo and Don Quijote
The next day my husband and son did a Street Cart tour they would highly recommend. I took a walk around the neighborhood while I waited for them but there was not a lot to see.
Next up was the Imperial Palace and the East Garden an absolutely spectacular place to visit.
Kappabashi Kitchen Street is a must visit for cooking enthusiasts. My son and I both purchased knives while we were there
We spent quite a bit of time in Tokyo Station before we hopped on the Shinkansen bullet train to Osaka. Hot and/or cold soba noodles were our choices for breakfast. We were there quite early, about 8:30 am) but there was a ramen restaurant open as well. We'll cover Osaka in the next video so stay tuned for that!

As a plus size Black travel influencer over 50 I was a bit concerned about this trip to Japan. I wondered if the bathrooms would be too small to accommodate me (they were fine).
I was excited to meet other black travelers and expats including a retired U.S. Army veteran out knife shopping. She is studying to become a sushi chef for her next act.
Please let me know if you have any questions about our trip. Leave a comment and I'll answer some of them in an upcoming video.

    I received one yesterday and when I turned it on first time to toast bread, it sparked badly inside and smelled bad.
