Making yourself at home in Tokyo takes you a lot deeper than any short-term visit will. Japan lives by the seasons, so as they change so do the experiences, from seasonal colors, produce and weather, to fashion and festivals. It’s what makes the city so exciting.
In the same way, day-to-day living takes you into the local lifestyle, as you learn how to set-up for daily living, working and playing, learn more about your neighbors and community, and navigating the logistics of being an individual in a city of 30 million people. To help you make yourself at home we’re creating an on-going series of blogs to answer the random questions you suddenly find you need the answer to, from recycling to connecting utilities. As well as how to make the most of your time with ideas for adventures and experiences through the changing seasons. If you can’t find the answers to your questions here, don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
