Japan Travel Vlog: Umeda Bus Terminal → Tokyo | Akasaka, Shibuya & Tokyo Nightlife

From Umeda in Osaka to the bright lights of Shibuya, this is my overnight journey across Japan by highway bus and my very first day in Tokyo! 🇯🇵 I start at Umeda, Osaka's biggest bus hub near Yodobashi Umeda, where night buses leave for both north and south Japan. I booked my ticket on kosokubus.com, waited at Starbucks, and boarded the overnight bus to Tokyo. I arrive at 7 AM, spot the Shinkansen bullet train, and share how strict (and peaceful) Japanese night buses are. Then it's off to Akasaka: a beautiful temple up around 60 stairs, the Akasaka skyline, and a quick guide to Japan's famous high-tech toilets. In the evening I head to Shibuya, Tokyo's "Times Square", to see the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, navigate Shibuya Station's colour-coded lines, explore the busy shopping streets, and end the night on a walking street packed with bars and clubs with an Asahi beer 🍺. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:18 Umeda, Osaka – exploring before the bus 0:51 Yodobashi Umeda – Osaka's biggest bus hub 1:01 Booking Japan night buses (kosokubus.com) 1:27 Waiting for the night bus 1:41 Arriving in Tokyo at 7 AM 1:54 Spotting the bullet train (Shinkansen) 2:18 What the Japan night bus is really like 2:46 Heading to Akasaka 3:04 Temple gate & Japanese toilets explained 3:30 Akasaka temple – 60 stairs up 4:26 Akasaka skyline views 4:52 Shibuya – Tokyo's Times Square 5:23 Shibuya Scramble Crossing 6:01 Exploring Shibuya streets 7:10 Shibuya Station travel tip 8:43 Back at Shibuya Square 10:10 Is Tokyo safe at night?
