Hi, I’m Keitaro! I absolutely love Tokyo’s compactness—it’s a true haven for those who enjoy exploring on foot. What fascinates me most is how Tokyo is constantly evolving, yet tucked away in its corners are charming old districts that outshine even the most upscale areas. I’m all about showing you the hidden paths and secret spots of this city. If you’re a book lover, we can wander through the literary haven of Jinbocho. I’m also passionate about the scenic east part of Tokyo, and I can’t wait to share my insights on the city’s unique street connections. I’m crazy about Tokyo’s rivers and the riverside lifestyle—it’s like uncovering the traces of "Eastern Venice." I’ll take you to hidden natural parks, far from the usual tourist trails, where the journey there is just as beautiful. And for a taste of local nightlife with an underground twist, Koenji is where it’s at. Let’s explore Tokyo together!
