Iconic
Fushimi Inari, Kyoto
Ten thousand vermilion torii climbing the mountain. We go early, before the tour groups, so the forest can breathe with you.
Destination
日本
Japan
Japan is really two countries living side by side: one of ancient temples, one of electric crossings. I design routes where both meet — with room for people who want silence in a zen garden and people who want to get lost in Shibuya at midnight.
Every Tokyo neighbourhood is another city. Every Kyoto street, another century.

Places you'll remember
Energy
Shibuya, Tokyo
The most famous crossing on earth, yes. But also the upper floors that overlook it and the alleys where no one is looking at their phone.
Young neighbourhood
Harajuku & Takeshita-dori
Impossible fashion, impossible colours, rainbow cotton candy. To laugh a little and buy the absurd things you'll keep forever.
Anecdotal
Golden Gai, a hidden izakaya
Six seats, six regulars. The chef pours you sake and the same neighbourhood stories she pours everyone. You don't come to eat — you come to belong.
Is this your Japan?
Tell me how you imagine it and we'll sketch it together.
