Gyudon, or beef bowl, is one of the most popular Japanese fast food. Several gyudon chains are competing for market share here. You would find cities filled with gyudon shops when you visit Japan.
A brand new gyudon chain, Tokyo Chikara Meshi which literally means Tokyo Power Food, is starting to become popular. Gyudon is normally a bowl of rice with simmered beef, but their gyudons are a bit different. They grill beef instead of simmering. They taste good and you can have a new experience with them. Worth trying.

Typhoon #4, named Guchol which means turmeric in a Micronesian language, became the first typhoon of this year that hit mainland of Japan. It did not cause considerable damage fortunately, but it caused a leak in the ceiling of my house...

I came across this small and open-air exhibition of bonsai on Satsuki azaleas while strolling around Ueno Park.
This massive public park is located next to Ueno Station which is one of the largest terminals in Tokyo. It has a few museums, a zoo, a temple, a shrine, 2500 sakura trees, and a large pond famous for its lotus. Everyday, there are small exhibitions, festivities and markets at this place. A great place to stroll around when you want to relax.

![Omotesando Street Car Expo, Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ANJjN-ULp0I/mqdefault.jpg "Omotesando Street Car Expo, Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD]
Due to the long-continued recession, you dont often see expensive cars and rare cars in Tokyo nowadays. However, you may see a relatively large number of them at Omotesando Street.
Omotesando literally means main approach of a shrine or a temple. The street was initially built as the main approach to Meiji Shrine, but is now well-known for its high-end stores. Executives come here in executive cars, and enjoy executive shopping.
Even if you are not interested in executive shopping, it should be enjoyable to stroll around this elegant district; see what the district is like or watch various cars passing by. Can you spot your favorite car in this video?
Here is the video of Meiji Shrine, the shrine situated in a deep forest at the other end of Omotesando. Also check this out!

All footage was taken with an iPhone 4S from March to August 2012.
I wanted to make a video that makes you feel like you were traveling in Tokyo. This is why I created this video, a kind of summary of my footage taken in one of the largest capitals in the world and a few surrounding cities. I am happy if you enjoy the virtual travel.
I will keep on making videos about Tokyo and Japan for sure. Subscribe to my channel if you liked this video and want to learn more about my city and my country. :)

![Tatara Festival 2012, Kawaguchi, Japan [iPhone 4S/HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AdggFCriNWM/mqdefault.jpg "Tatara Festival 2012, Kawaguchi, Japan [iPhone 4S/HD]
Tatara Festival, the largest annual festival in Kawaguchi City, my hometown, takes place at Kawaguchi Motorcycle Race Circuit every first weekend of August. The name of the festival originates from tatara, the traditional Japanese furnace, since the city was once known as the center of casting industry. The industry has been declining for these several decades and the city is now serving as one of bedroom suburbs of Tokyo, but this festival name reminds its citizens of what the city was like.
A lot of performances and events are held in the festival including mikoshi or portable shrines, fireworks and exhibitions relating to the indigenous industry. Numerous people fully enjoy them in the middle of summer every year.

You may occasionally see sumo wrestlers in a city during your stay in Japan. If you visit a district where a lot of sumo stables are, you can often see them strolling around.
