00:00Kureto!
00:04Japanese TV program interview, okay?
00:07Which country are you from?
00:09Where are you from?
00:10I'm British.
00:11Do you understand Japanese?
00:12Why did you come to Japan?
00:15I was thinking to walk around the Yamanote Line.
00:18What?
00:20Yeah, I think it's like 42 kilometers.
00:23Maybe run it or walk it, so it depends.
00:27Wow!
00:29Why did you want to do that?
00:31I just often challenge myself physically in different ways.
00:34I was here on my first visit.
00:36And I cycled across Kyushu, Hiroshima to Hokkaido.
00:39So that was the first real sort of solo.
00:42Just randomly visiting, you know, different parts of Tokyo
00:46that I would usually never really get to see.
00:48He walked around and rediscovered.
00:51Can we follow you around the Yamanote Line?
00:55Of course.
00:56Can we?
00:57That would be great.
00:59I don't think I've done it before.
01:01No, no, no.
01:02I'd like to try it, though.
01:04I'm interested.
01:06Ebisu?
01:07Ebisu!
01:10He's here, he's here, he's here.
01:12Yu is already walking style.
01:15Good morning.
01:16Anti-clockwise.
01:17We're starting from Ebisu.
01:19And we're just going around towards Tokyo Station.
01:22Oh, I see.
01:23Going counterclockwise.
01:25It takes an hour by train.
01:29But it takes two days to go around.
01:36With each station, I'd like to take a picture.
01:39We're going to take a picture with this as number one.
01:41And then we're going to go through each station,
01:43and each one is going to...
01:47You're thinking of interesting things.
01:49Number one.
01:50Number one.
01:52Yu's challenge.
02:00Are we going to keep walking along the railroad tracks?
02:02No, we're not going to make it.
02:04Right?
02:05Yamanote Line is the number one line, no?
02:09Around all the interesting places.
02:11All the central places in Tokyo.
02:13So easy.
02:14So we just have to get on the train?
02:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:17Going through what Yamanote Line goes through all the time.
02:19All the time.
02:20So we're showing compassion to the Yamanote Line.
02:23Us and Yamanote Line, like this.
02:25If it's just one station, we've walked a lot.
02:28It's tough.
02:29What about the green Yamanote Line?
02:34Starting from Shinjuku,
02:38each station has a different face.
02:41You can see a different scenery.
02:46That's true.
02:47There are so many different places that I wanted to see along the Yamanote.
02:50Sometimes just walking around the city randomly,
02:52you find all these random cool...
02:57Oh my god.
02:59What is that?
03:01A triangle.
03:02What is that?
03:08I'm going to bend over for you, man.
03:14I don't think anybody can live in the next three meters of this.
03:19Not really sure what this is meant to be.
03:22Very cool!
03:28Hey guys, we made it to Meguro Station.
03:30There we go, number two.
03:31Let's go.
03:34Meguro!
03:35Meguro!
03:39Next is Gotanda.
03:41Let's go.
03:44I love the colors of the Yamanote, it's so nice.
03:48We have arrived at Gotanda.
03:49There we go.
03:51It's amazing how so many stations in Tokyo,
03:54they're all big and they all have wonderful shops.
03:57It's amazing.
04:01Over there.
04:03Kaichou!
04:08Oh my god, look at that gnome.
04:10What the hell?
04:13What is that?
04:16He has a very long hat.
04:19It's very long.
04:22The hat is so...
04:25art.
04:31Somebody must tend to this, I mean...
04:38Is this like a bicycle parking?
04:42It's like underground parking for bikes, right?
04:44You put it in and then it just takes the bike away.
04:49Look at that pointy building.
04:51It's like a triangle too.
05:01Oh yeah.
05:06I'm actually really hungry but
05:08a specific place, it's a surprise that I want to take you guys to.
05:11Just a little comment, it's something that I haven't had yet
05:14since I've been in Japan.
05:18Go along the Yamanote line.
05:19I've been planning to go to this restaurant so...
05:23We have arrived.
05:25Yes.
05:27I'll have a cup of coffee.
05:30It's open!
05:31I'm surprised!
05:33I thought you were going to eat something light.
05:54I'll have a cup of coffee.
05:55I'll have a cup of coffee.
06:01The Yamanote line food that Yu wanted to eat.
06:04It's good.
06:05It's that good?
06:06Yeah, it looks so good, right?
06:12Because I've been traveling, I've never had any.
06:14And I was always thinking like,
06:16it sounds kind of weird, right?
06:18But you know, people in Japan love it so much.
06:20There must be a reason.
06:21This is good.
06:22It's a restaurant that was opened by an eel butcher.
06:31Wow, it looks so good.
06:34Their eel is super fresh.
06:37And the price is very reasonable.
06:42It's eel sashimi.
06:43It's eel sashimi.
06:44I've never had it before.
06:46The ingredients are good.
06:48The curry is elegant and light.
06:51I want to go there.
06:56It's a 30-minute limited time meal.
06:59It's not that expensive.
07:01Let's eat!
07:03It's my first time eating eel.
07:08It's his first time eating eel.
07:10How does it taste?
07:12It's good.
07:13That's good.
07:15It's salty and savory.
07:17It's a bit like soy sauce, but not strong.
07:20The eel is so soft.
07:22It kind of feels like...
07:28It's just so good.
07:31I like it.
07:33I can't stop eating.
07:36No, you can eat.
07:38Are you kidding me?
07:39Did you look at me like that?
07:41It's so good.
07:42It was delicious.
07:44We ate a lot.
07:46It was 3 minutes.
07:48Would you guys like to have the bones?
07:49I'll eat the bones.
07:51Do you need the bones?
07:54Can I have the bones?
07:57It's the best bone I've ever had in my life.
08:02Thank you for the meal.
08:04Thank you very much.
08:05We all walked around Minamata.
08:08We walked around Minamata?
08:12We walked around Minamata.
08:14You should have told him to stop.
08:16You should have told him to stop.
08:17He said you should stop right away.
08:21Good luck.
08:26Then maybe we have to go till later today if you guys can.
08:31Yeah, we're okay.
08:36Cool, the train in the background.
08:44It's such a strange name for a restaurant.
08:46How did you know me?
08:51It's the first time for us to eat yakitori.
08:54Oh, it's under the guard.
08:55It's nice to have a proper meal like this.
08:57I see.
08:58The clock is cool.
09:01We conquered the 12 stations.
09:04It's pretty sunny.
09:06Next, we're going to Akihabara station.
09:08Akihabara.
09:09We've already passed 1 out of 3.
09:11We have.
09:12We're still going.
09:14It's night.
09:15What do you study at university?
09:16So I'm studying land economy, which is basically law and economics.
09:20Where we have a lot of history.
09:22It's been around for 500 years.
09:25Cambridge, if you've heard of it.
09:29There's a bullet.
09:33Wow.
09:34Amazing.
09:35It's a famous gate.
09:41It's perfect.
09:46I like to walk.
09:47I really like to just see different places.
09:50So I actually started university later because I was in the army.
09:55For 14 hours, we walked 70-something kilometers.
10:00Last year, he went to Japan alone.
10:05It's hard, but it's good to travel abroad.
10:09I like Japan.
10:10It's been a bit challenging, but it's been really fun so far.
10:13So I'm really happy to continue.
10:24It's crazy.
10:25There's a lot of people.
10:30Ameyoko.
10:36A little detour.
10:39Monitani-san can help me find a good Japanese record.
10:42Do you want to buy it?
10:43Yeah, maybe like old style.
10:44Like 70s, 80s.
10:46Sounds interesting.
