About @giannisimone

I’m a writer, teacher, and tour guide from Italy, based in Japan since 1992. I help travelers make sense of Tokyo, Yokohama, and the rest of Japan with practical insights on culture, neighborhoods, walking routes, and slow travel. I also cover otaku culture, and you’ll often find me scouting cemeteries, backstreets, and local eats so your trip runs smoothly and stays curious.
