I’m the guy behind The Tokyo Tourist. It’s a resource site where people can get useful information about – you’ve guessed it – Tokyo! I cover everything from the big touristy stuff to the hidden gems located in the depths of Shinjuku. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although my main focus will be Tokyo – in my opinion, the most magnificent city in the world – I also cover cities like Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Nara, Hiroshima, Sapporo, and of course Japan in general. My ultimate goal is to answer all your questions about traveling to and being a tourist in Japan, and on top of that I also want to give you useful and interesting facts like 15 awesome things about Japan<\/a>, if you can smoke in Tokyo<\/a> and do Japanese police carry guns?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n But why listen to me?<\/strong> I’m from Scandinavia, but I’ve been to Japan a bunch of times. I like to say I’ve done everything twice! Through my extensive travel, I’ve made a solid group of Japanese friends who’ve given me many pro tips which I love to share with you. In addition to myself, Honoka and Yuuto are also regular contributors to this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I ever recommend anything, it’s only because I’ve tried it myself (i.e., a product, the Japan Rail Pass<\/a> or a hotel) or if someone I know and trust has tried it and can give it two thumbs up. I also do a lot of research on every topic I write about to be sure you get accurate information from this site. I think it’s very important when you are writing about topics like Fukushima and the radiation danger.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to give me some feedback or have suggestions on which topics I should write about please hit me up on contact@thetokyotourist.com. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
