đž Warmest welcome! Iâm a Russian living in Japan â from Moscow to Tokyo, with a few delicious detours along the way â here I am: your travel bestie and go-to guide for uncovering hidden gems, top tables, and everything in between! ï»żMy story started in Moscow, wandered through the U.S., and found its forever home in Japan. For over 20 years, Iâve been soaking up everything this country has to offer â the language, culture, history, and yes, way too much wagyu and sushi! Tokyoâs been my playground all this time, and trust me, it never gets old. If youâre craving a Tokyo experience that goes beyond the usual checklist, youâre in the right hands đ Whether your vibe is art, history, gardens, or simply eating your way through the city (no judgment â I do it too), Iâve got you covered! From cozy izakayas hidden down lantern-lit alleys to breathtaking viewpoints and charming neighborhoods only locals wander into, I dig up the kind of places that make you feel like youâve discovered something special â because you have! I love crafting experiences that suit every style and budget, mixing a taste of tradition with a splash of adventure. Think sushi with soul, temples with stories, and corners of the city you never knew existed. Tokyo is full of surprises, and Iâm here to help you find them â with a full belly and a big smile đ€© Oh, and by the way â I didnât just fall in love with Japan, I graduated in it! After earning my degree in Hospitality Business and International Tourism from Moscow State University of Management in 2003, I packed my bags (and an oversized inspiration) and headed to Tokyo. Some years later, I earned my diploma from the famous Travel & Conductor College (2012) and proudly passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test at N2 level â because I like to really blend in when I ask for extra ramen toppings đ Count on me, I know this country like the back of my train ticket, and you will do too! My travel motto? Donât just visit Japan â live it! Iâll encourage you to roll up your sleeves for hands-on workshops, chat with locals over a cup of matcha, and dive into real-life experiences that show what everyday Japanese living is truly like. Because the best way to understand Japan isnât by following a map â itâs by following your curiosity! Ready to turn your Tokyo dreams into reality? Letâs team up and create a day thatâs totally you â whether that means ancient temples, neon-lit backstreets, food adventures, or all of the above. Reach out today, and together weâll craft an experience thatâs full of stories, flavor, and those little magical moments youâll remember every time you think back to Japan. Your future self will thank you (probably while smiling at a photo of you eating something amazing). So hey, letâs make some unforgettable memories â Tokyo-style! đŻđ”âš Just a quick note â Iâm not a licensed guide, so I canât make bookings or buy tickets on your behalf. But donât worry â Iâm great at politely persuading your hotel receptionist to handle all that for you! đâš And while I wonât be behind the wheel myself, Iâm happy to help arrange a comfy ride with a professional driver, so you can sit back, relax, enjoy the view and listen to my stories! đâšđ«¶
