Where Locals Hang Out In Tokyo | Otsuka, Sugamo + Itabashi Neighborhoods

If you are looking to go beyond the tourist beaten track in Tokyo, I highly recommend you check out some of the neighborhoods that I go to in this video. Having lived in Tokyo for many different stints, I definitely appreciate the more relaxed parts of the city, unlike Shibuya, Shinjuku or Harajuku. In this video I'll take you guys to the district that I used to like in called Otsuka and try my favourite tomato ramen, explore Sugamo which is known as Grandma's Harajuku and then also visit my friends who are in the bar and brewing industry here in Tokyo!

You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself. Best Group Tours That I Recommend: G Adventures - https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1008245...
