Hello, I’m Taishiro, a friendly and open-minded local host who loves sharing the excitement and energy of Tokyo. What I enjoy most about this amazing city is how it perfectly blends deep history with modern life. From exploring ancient shrines to discovering new hangouts in Shibuya or Ginza, there’s always something new to experience. I love going out with friends, enjoying great food, and soaking in Tokyo’s lively social scene. Whether you’re looking for hidden temples, delicious local eats, or the best spots for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free travelers, I’ve got you covered. Tokyo is a city where tradition meets fun, and I can’t wait to show you how to enjoy it all like a true local.

My reviews

    The crowds of people are hard to negotiate. You need a good tour guide like Taishiro. 100% certain. It is an expensive place, but the technology shops are just fantastic. The trains are virtually always near full regardless of the time of day and the signage is virtually 100% in Japanese characters.
