This blog is written by a local Japanese who was raised outside of Japan and wants to discover his own country and the city he lives in today: Tokyo. He will collect information about tourism, sightseeing, restaurants, food, hotels, culture, history and anything else that comes to his attention and, hopefully, will be helpful for future tourists visiting Tokyo!
