My Tokyo

Tokyo through the places I grew up

The neighborhoods, places, and everyday corners of Tokyo I know and love — starting with Ueno and Asakusa.

The Tokyo I know

Ueno & Asakusa

Where my Tokyo begins.

I grew up in Negishi, an old-school Tokyo neighborhood where much of the city's traditional character and culture still remains. This is the Tokyo I know — full of history, local character, and people who truly love their neighborhood.

So I’m not going to show you everything. I’ll just share my favorites around this area.
