About us

Hey there! We’re a Japanese family with deep roots in Osaka, Hokkaido, and over 20 years in Tokyo. We’re thrilled to share our local knowledge and insider tips to help you fully immerse yourself in Japan’s captivating culture and unforgettable experiences.

As parents of two Tokyo-born kids, we understand the importance of creating lasting memories. That’s why we’ve designed our page to provide you with reliable, up-to-date information straight from the locals, ensuring that your trip is both enjoyable and enriching.

Several of the links shared here are affiliate links. This means that if you make a purchase using one of these links, I might receive a small commission, at no cost to you. Oftentimes, these links will also unlock special discounts or exclusive pricing just for you.

With the recent surge in post-pandemic tourism, planning a trip can be overwhelming. Let us help you bridge the gap between tourists and locals, whether you’re exploring the ever-evolving Tokyo or venturing to other parts of Japan.

Join us as we share our passion for Japan and help you create the adventure of a lifetime!
