    Who’s Behind the Guide?
    Hello! I’m your guide, a native Japanese resident who genuinely loves this part of Tokyo. Originally from Nagoya, Aichi, I spent four years living abroad in the U.S., which gave me a unique perspective on integrating into a new community. I was born in the 1990s and currently call the area near Hikarigaoka home. I’m passionate about sharing my discoveries to help you make the most of life in Nerima.
