Welcome to Japan

Welcome to Japan is built on one simple idea. To bring people together through food, culture, and real experiences.

I started this business to show you Japan the way I experience it, through fun local neighbourhoods, small family-run food spots, and the stories behind the traditions that shape everyday life here. You’ll feel comfortable, looked after, and welcomed, while still getting that spark of discovery that makes travel special. From walking and food tours in Tokyo to adventures beyond the city, if you want a meaningful experience that stays with you long after the trip ends, I’ve got you.

Meiji Jingu and Harajuku are separated by one bridge, and they could not be more different 🌳🎀

This is exactly why it became one of our very first walking tours 🚶‍♂️

One side: Meiji Jingu.
A forest of 100,000 trees, more than 350 species, every single one donated from across Japan and planted by volunteers back in 1920 🌲🙏
It feels ancient, but it’s completely man made 🤯

Cross the bridge and you land in Takesh*ta Street 🎀
Colour, noise, crowds, crepes 🍓
Sweet treats and savoury snacks in every direction 😋🍡

One bridge. Two completely different Tokyos 🤫🇯🇵

That contrast is the whole point, and honestly it is the fastest way to understand this city 🙌

Tag whoever you are coming to Tokyo with 👇 and if you want to walk it with us, the tour is on our website, link in the bio 🤗

Everything hanging on this gate was a gift, and the donor list is wilder than you think 🎁⛩️

Hozomon runs on generosity. The giant red lantern is from Kobunacho, a Tokyo merchant district that has renewed it for centuries 🏮
The bronze lanterns came from the uogashi (the old fish market community) with their name written in gold right on the side 🐟
The 4.5-metre waraji sandals are woven and donated by the town of Murayama in Yamagata, roughly half a tonne of straw renewed every decade or so 🩴

And the face above the treasure doors? 🤔
Yonetaro Otani, the businessman who paid to rebuild the whole gate in 1964 after it burned down in the war 🙏

Tag someone who would absolutely try to open the treasure gate, and follow for the Asakusa stories most tours skip 😂👇

The best thing I eat at Tsukiji is not seafood 🍡

One bite and you forget you are standing in the middle of a fish market 😅

Soft mochi, dusted in starch and sweet matcha flavored white bean paste 🤤
Cold, chewy, barely sweet.
Gone in about four seconds 😂

For ¥500 its a steal, and every stall in the outer market runs its own line up 🍓🍈

The move: do your seafood first, then eat your way through the daifuku on the way out 🙌

Save this for your Tsukiji morning 💾 and comment which flavor you’d want 👇

If you walk past this stall at Tsukiji without stopping you are making a serious mistake 😤🔥

This is satsuma-age: Japanese fish cake made fresh every morning and fried right in front of you at Tsukiji Outer Market ☝️

White fish ground into a paste, mixed with shrimp, corn, squid, onion or lotus root, then deep fried until golden 🍤
Soft, springy and slightly chewy inside; if it bounces back when you bite it, whoever made it knows exactly what they are doing 🫡
The corn fish cake is rated number one at the stall. Sounds strange, tastes unreal 🌽🤤

¥330 to ¥600, eaten standing up, straight off the stick 🍢

Save this for your next trip to Tsukiji, or book a food tour with us and we will walk you straight to it 👇💾

A doughnut shop hidden in the backstreets between Harajuku and Shibuya 🍩

HIGUMA Doughnuts × Coffee Wrights in Omotesando.
Everything is made with Hokkaido ingredients, Haruyutaka wheat, Hokkaido milk and butter, zero preservatives, and you can taste it immediately 🤗

We got three:
honey with mascarpone (served warm, made me a bit emotional) 🥲
Kinako (roasted soybean powder, nutty and only just sweet) 😋
Limoncello (the lemon is unreal without tipping into sour) 🤤

So light they could be made of nothing at all 🙌☁️

No itinerary, no plan, just wandering Tokyo backstreets. This is what it gets you 🤫🇯🇵

Save this for your Tokyo trip and send it to whoever you are coming with, or come eat your way through the city with us on a food tour 👇💾

Nakamise is not just keychains and snacks. Here are 5 things actually worth your time 😤🛍️👇

1. Lip balm with 365 original designs, one for every day of the year. Find the one for your birthday and you are done, easiest gift you will ever pick up. Every tin on the shelf is honey scented too 🎁

2. Kids jinbei, the traditional summer garment Japanese children wear to festivals and fireworks. Easily the most wholesome gift on the street 🥹

3. Sensu folding fans, invented in Japan in the 7th century before the rest of the world caught on. From ¥550 🪭

4. Artisan chopsticks painted with samurai armour and ukiyo-e woodblock prints, the same art style as Hokusai’s Great Wave 🌊

5. Daruma, Japan’s wishing doll. Paint one eye when you set your goal and the other when you smash it 🎯

I walk this street constantly and these are the stalls people speed past on their way to the temple.

Which one caught your eye? Drop it in the comments 👇

Nobody comes to Tsukiji for a croissant. That is exactly why you should 🥐

You come to this market for tuna, tamagoyaki and uni. Then you find a croissant this good tucked in between the tsukudani stalls and it resets your whole morning 🤯

Shattering layers, an almost unreasonable amount of butter, poppy seeds on top and a red bean paste filling running right through the middle. I made a noise in public that I am not proud of 😅

The best bites at Tsukiji are never the ones you planned 🤩

Save this for your Tsukiji morning, or come eat your way through the market with us 👇

Sensoji is Tokyo’s most visited temple, but almost nobody sees this side of it ⛩️

Step away from the crowds at the main hall and you find the quiet corners:
- A bronze Buddha that has been sitting here for over 300 years 🪷
- The Mother and Child Jizo, a gentle memorial to mothers and children lost in the war, dressed in red to keep the little ones safe 🤱
- The Toki no Kane bell that has been telling Asakusa the time since 1692 and still rings every morning at 6am 🔔
- A giant ginkgo that was scorched in the 1945 air raids and is still growing 🌳

Save this for your Asakusa visit, or book a tour with us and we will show you the corners everyone else misses - Link in bio 👇💾

Those sake barrels at Meiji Jingu are not decoration 🍶⛩️

Sake has been offered to the Shinto deities for centuries as a symbol of purity, gratitude and prosperity. In ancient Japan shrines kept their own rice fields and brewed sacred sake for rituals and festivals, because rice wine was believed to carry spiritual power and connect the human and divine worlds. 🧘

These stacked displays are called kazaridaru, and every single barrel is a gift from a brewery asking for protection, business success and a good harvest. Most of them are empty now, but the partnership between the shrines and the breweries is very real 🙏

Most people photograph this wall and walk straight on. Now you know what you are looking at. 🤗

Save this for your Tokyo trip, or send it to your travel partner!👇

The hardest part of a Tsukiji food tour is waiting for everyone else to get their bite 😤🥚

Tsukiji Yamacho has been making tamagoyaki on this exact spot since 1949❗️
Sweet egg and bonito dashi, layered by hand in rectangular iron pans and handed to you still warm on a stick, from 350 yen 🤯

Toss a cheeky line of mentaiko on there and we’re good to go 😍

I have eaten it more times than I can count and it still gets me this excited every time 🤤

Want to experience fresh tamagoyaki yourself? 🤩
