About Discovering Japan

I moved to Tokyo and quickly realized that the information gap between “tourist guides” and “actually living here” is massive. This site exists to fill that gap with no fluff, no outdated information – just practical advice from someone who navigates Japanese bureaucracy, eats at local restaurants, and deals with the same challenges you do.
