I’m Japanese and live in Tokyo with my Australian husband, and we’re raising three boys. Living with someone experiencing Japan as an international visitor has given me a unique perspective on the questions and challenges first-time travelers often face.
Tokyo Survival Guide was created to provide practical, easy-to-understand travel advice based on real local experience. Rather than overwhelming you with lengthy travel guides, I focus on clear transportation tips, honest hotel recommendations, and useful local insights to help you enjoy Japan with confidence.
My goal is simple: to make your trip to Japan easier, smoother, and more memorable.
Many of the LOCAL TIPS shared throughout this website come from everyday life in Tokyo and the practical advice I regularly give to friends and family visiting Japan.
