Exploring Tokyo's best snacks (First time in Japan)🇯🇵

Join me as I show you this eventful day in Tokyo: From my first sushi in Japan, to chats with locals, to convenience store snacks, tourist spots such as Sensoji temple & Shibuya crosswalk, this day well and truly had it all... I was feeling a little under the weather so my day started off with a trip to a local supermarket near Ueno metro station to pickup some fruit, coffee and a pack of tissues. We then hit the first spot of the day, Sensoji temple. Touristy spots like this are sometimes a bit overwhelming so I didn't stay too long before heading over to the beautiful, tranquil Sumida River Park. This is where a local Japanese kid named Mim came up to me and we had a long chat about life. By now it was midday and time to meet my friend from USA that has come to join me in Tokyo. Together, we walked around trying to find one of Tokyo's best street foods at a Ministop convenience store. We then took a walk around a local street market where we found an unexpected surprise... On day two, I take a long walk around Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, one of Tokyo's most incredible parks to take in the atmosphere and have a moment to myself before heading back into the busy and bustling streets. I came across Taito Games, which is an arcade next to Shibuya scramble crossing. It was one of the biggest and busiest arcades I've seen in my life. Next door was a Pachinko arcade, which I've heard is a very popular game amongst middle aged and older folk. The day came to an end when we went to eat Sushi at an intimate little restaurant with a very homely feeling. The restaurant had been in the family for over 100 years... safe to say it was some of the best I've ever had!
