Tokyo is a city of contrasts, and that’s what I love most about it! From the historic charm of Asakusa to the cutting-edge fashion scene in Harajuku, there’s always something new to explore. I’m passionate about Tokyo’s diverse food culture, from traditional sushi to modern gourmet experiences. As a fashion enthusiast, I enjoy discovering unique stores, from vintage treasures to the latest athleisure trends. I also run communities for jogging and walking, so I know the best scenic routes and cozy café stops. Whether it’s art, food, or city strolls, I’d love to show you the best of Tokyo!

My reviews
-
We had a very authentic guide (Tim) who took us through less obvious spots and shrines and temples. Very patient, kept pace reasonable, and encouraged us to stop at small shops to enjoy local goods and food. Really recommend doing this in Tokyo at the beginning of any visit.
