Akihabara
Hi, I’m Will! I’m originally from Fukui and now live in Tokyo. I love exploring the city, meeting new people, and having interesting conversations. I’m into history, food, saunas, technology, and Japanese culture. I’m taking a sabbatical until March 2027, so I have a fairly flexible schedule these days. I’d love to show you both classic and local Tokyo, and I’m happy to chat in English too.
