I was on one of my regular cycling routes a couple of days ago but this season is special. Look at these beautiful sakura flowers fully blooming. These cherry trees are lined for miles and miles. Pedaling through it is just stunning. Enjoy the ride!

Cycling to Shibamata Taishakuten, Tokyos Old Buddhist Temple | Setting of Guinness Record Movie

Shibamata Taishakuten is a Buddhist temple located in Katsushika, the eastern end of Tokyo. It has been bustling with worshippers since it was founded in 1629. In modern times, it appeared in many literary works which made it a popular tourist destination. The movie series "Otoko wa Tsurai yo" set in this place and its surrounding spots brought more people to the district when it started in 1960s. It holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running movie series starring a single actor.

I pedaled there on a beautiful Sunday for the first time in years. The scenery was exactly the same as the last time I visited. It felt like the clock hadn't moved there while everything had kept changing dramatically in the rest of the world. You would feel nostalgic when you visit there even if it's the first time.

Of course I didn't forget to eat their local speciality "kusa-dango" or "mugwort rice dumplings" at the end of the trip. It tasted good.

Here is another ride for sakura or cherry blossoms. I pedaled around many sakura spots in the Tokyo Metropolis on a beautiful day. Under COVID, I didn't see any drunk people throwing parties under the trees, but there were still plenty of people intoxicated by the beauty of sakura flowers. At the end of the ride, I witnessed the flower petals fluttering around stunningly. The flowers' lives are so short, but that makes them more beautiful.

Sakura season has come. There is no reason not to go see those beautiful flowers.

I pedaled from Oji, my dad's birth place, to Naka-Itabashi, my mom's birth place, along Shakujii River. It's lined by more than 1000 sakura trees. It's not recommended to throw a hanami party under COVID but people were still strolling around and enjoying the stunning scenery. So did I. Yes, we need it for a change.

I also visited my uncle living in the area and had a chat with him. I was glad to see him doing well.

Let's hope we will have a "usual" spring next year.

I'm a big fan of burgers. Fortunately there are a few "real burger restaurants" within a 10-km radius of my place. I visited one of them for the first time in a few months the other day. The meal tasted like heaven and I was happy more than words can say. I needed to pedal a lot to burn calories after that but it was fun too.

This is my monthly routine. I mean I go get a haircut every month. The hair salon is in a mall near Arakawa Cycling Road that leads you to various places. There is no reason not to pedal after the haircut. I headed to Akigase Park located in Saitama City this time. It’s been my favorite place since I was a teenager. There are some nice trails there.

Hayao Miyazaki, the movie director of Studio Ghibli, says that he was inspired a lot by the nature of Tokorozawa, Saitama when he created one of his greatest movies My Neighbor Totoro. He has been living there for a half century.

The movie portrays the ‘50s but there are still many forests like the one in the movie even today. Some of them are called Totoro’s Forest. I pedaled to the area and ended up in Totoro’s Forest #2. It looks like there are dozens of forests named Totoro’s Forest and their nature is protected by donations through the Foundation of Totoro’s Hometown. I respect their efforts.

I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere over there. I hope you guys feel it through my video.

Harajuku is known as a center of teen culture and fashion of Japan. Takeshita Street is the exact center. It is lined by many stores retailing kawaii or cute stuff and full of teenagers and tourists on weekends. However, there were not as many people as usual when I pedaled there on Sunday although the state of emergency on COVID-19 was lifted. It would take a while to get back to normal.

Here is a video I took in Harajuku in the middle of the state of emergency. Check it out too.

The state of emergency on COVID-19 was lifted in Tokyo and people are coming back to the city. But what is it actually like? I pedaled to Shibuya on Sunday and found that there were much more people than when I visited there a couple of weeks ago. However, I would say it is not as vibrant as it used to be before the situation. It would take a while to get back to "normal".

Here is the video that I took in Shibuya in the middle of the state of emergency. Check this out too.

ASMR | Ride in Golden Street, Shinjuku | Tokyos Retro Bar Street in the Daytime

Golden Gai or Golden Street is an area filled with alleys lined by tiny retro bars. It is located right by Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Tokyo's red-light district. Although it is full of drinkers during the night time, it is very calm and quiet during the daytime. A perfect place to stroll. Check out my video about Kabukicho too.

Ride in West Shinjuku Business District | Tokyos Manhattan

Twitter: twitter.com/kj_planet_tokyo

Shinjuku, Tokyo's busiest district, has two faces. East Shinjuku is an entertainment district. You would see numerous neon signs glittering there. Meanwhile, West Shinjuku is a business district filled with skyscrapers. You could call it Japan's Manhattan. I pedaled there on a weekend in the middle of the state of emergency. There are not that many people on weekends in general so there was not a big difference. But it was still interesting to see what the city was like in the situation. Let me share it with you guys.

Ride in Kabukicho, Shinjuku | Tokyos Red-Light District in the Daytime

Shinjuku, Tokyo's busiest district, has two faces. West Shinjuku is a business district filled with skyscrapers. You could call it Japan's Manhattan. Meanwhile, East Shinjuku is an entertainment district. You would see numerous neon signs glittering along every street during night time. Kabukicho area in particular is well-know for its shady stores. Sometimes it is called "Japan's most dangerous area". I pedaled there in the daytime in the middle of the state of emergency. It looked very different from what I know. It was quite interesting. Let me share it with you guys. Enjoy Kabukicho Trip!

ASMR | State of Emergency Lifted in Tokyo | Akabane, Tokyo | COVID-19

Planet Tokyo 2020-05-26 | Instagram: instagram.com/koji_planet_tokyo
Twitter: twitter.com/kj_planet_tokyo

Japan's government has lifted the state of emergency on COVID-19 in the last 5 out of its 47 prefectures including the capital Tokyo. What is the city like? Is it more vibrant? I took some footage in Akabane district which is located on the northern edge of central Tokyo on my way home from work. Technically it was taken right before it was officially announced by the Prime Minister but the city was already looking different. Have a look.

COVID-19 | Ride in Harajuku, Tokyo in a State of Emergency | Fashion Center of Japan

Tokyo is still in a state of emergency on COVID-19 although Japan's government lifted it in 39 out of its 47 prefectures. I visited Harajuku, a center of youth culture and fashion of Japan, and took some footage. It looked very different from what it usually is like. Have a look at Harajuku with fewer people.

Yanaka Cemetery (also called in its former name, Yanaka Graveyard) is located in Yanaka district where the old Tokyo's atmosphere still remains. It has 7,000 graves and hundreds of sakura or cherry trees. The whole site is very well-organized and there is no creepiness but calmness. A perfect place to stroll on a beautiful day especially in cherry blossom season.

COVID-19 | State of Emergency Lifted in 39 Pref. But Not in Saitama and Other 7 | Kawaguchi, Saitama

Planet Tokyo 2020-05-16 | Instagram: instagram.com/koji_planet_tokyo
Twitter: twitter.com/kj_planet_tokyo

Japan's government has lifted a state of emergency on COVID-19 in 39 out of its 47 prefectures. However, Saitama Prefecture where I live was not included. It makes sense because it is located next to Tokyo Prefecture which has the largest number of patients in Japan. I needed to get through the center of my city so I took some footage of what the district is like after lifting a state of emergency in other prefectures. Have a look.
