I am a long-term Japanese language and culture scholar with 15+ years invested in the field. During my life I focused on Japan, learning the Japanese language, and learning about Japanese culture, history, philosophy, geography, and society, and I also tried a few traditional arts such as calligraphy, bookbinding, and origami. I enjoy learning about philosophy, sociology, biology, and physics, especially astrophysics. I like to travel and experience new cultures and new food. I am trying to stay up-to-date by watching news and documentaries. My hobbies include listening to music, playing guitar, composing music, creating videos, writing, watching films, and playing video games.

    Marek ist auf unsere Interessen eingegangen und hat die Tour spontan entsprechend angepasst. Wir haben viel über die Geschichte und das heutige Tokyo und seine Bewohner erfahren. Jedezeit wieder. Sehr empfehlenswert. Marek listened to our interests and spontaneously adapted the tour accordingly. We learned a lot about history and today's Tokyo and its residents. Anytime again. Highly recommended.
