Hidden Tokyo: The Only Tokyo Neighborhood Guidebook
Do you want to know what the best places to visit in Tokyo are? In addition to wanting to know the top Tokyo tourist attractions, do you want to know more?
The Ultimate Tokyo City Guide
I spent the last half of 2018 writing what I aspired to be the best Tokyo guide available. It took me almost six months to distill nearly four years of dense Tokyo exploration into this 400-page guidebook. This book extensively details the most in-depth advice you can find on this city, in one single place.
I’m currently in the works of publishing it in print, but the digital version is now available.

I have a love for both art and architecture and Tokyo cannot be experienced without covering at least some of this terrain. One of my favorite things to do in Tokyo is to explore its fascinating architecture. Hidden Tokyo provides insight for appreciating and experiencing this side of Tokyo.
Within this guide, I provide a list of the best and most important pieces of architecture around the city. You’ll find recommendations for Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Traditional, Modern, and Metabolism.
For each neighborhood, there’s a breakdown of the top places to see and things to do in addition to recommendations for places to eat both traditional Japanese food, Western food, and even vegan and vegetarian spots.
In Shibuya, you’ll find an extensive list of favorite kissaten cafes as well as top spots to view the Shibuya Crossing.
In Harajuku, you’ll find shopping as well as vintage shopping recommendations, as well as where to eat the best pancakes in the city.
Additionally, in fifteen other districts, you’ll find a similar series of recommendations. This structure makes it easy to both see the city to its max and save time by already having a set of top recommendations at your disposal.
Tokyo is ripe with complexity, and this Tokyo guidebook will help you to appreciate this, but to also experience it on a deeper level. The scope of this guide is vast, to say the least, but it’s a brilliant resource for those looking for an abundance of things to do in Tokyo
