Hi, I’m René, a Swiss native who found a new home in Tokyo four years ago. My journey to Japan began six years ago, and since then, I’ve been captivated by the city’s unique blend of tradition and modernity. Living in Tokyo with my wife, who grew up here, has given me a deep appreciation for the city’s culture, food, fashion, music, and hidden treasures. Every day, I explore Tokyo’s vibrant neighborhoods, uncovering secret spots, local delicacies, and cultural gems. My tours are all about sharing these discoveries—whether it’s guiding you through historic temples and shrines, bustling markets, or stylish backstreets. Each experience is designed to immerse you in the heart of Tokyo, offering insights into its lifestyle, history, and the stories that make this city so special. If you're looking to see Tokyo through the eyes of a local, join me for a personalized journey that showcases the city’s beauty, creativity, and energy.

Die Wege gingen vom Luxusareal, durch Wohngebiete, über Schreine und Tempel bis hin zum Friedhof. Gespräche über Politik, Alltag, Essen, Wirtschaft und Soziales waren ausführlich und...
