My 4th time in Japan, my 4th time in Tokyo. It’s the mandatory stop no matter if it’s your first time or not. Yet there is not enough time in one life to discover all about this capital. I’m very far from knowing it all and that is why it’s fascinating me. This being … Read more
Let’s continue our visit of Tokyo Disney Resort and visit Tokyo Disneyland. This article will complement the one I wrote back in 2015 : go read it if you haven’t had the chance! After spending a night in our hotel nearby, we were off to Tokyo Disneyland, with a lot more people than the day … Read more
Let’s not wait more, here is the story of our winter trip in Japan, and more specifically in Tokyo with my birthday gift received from my dear love: 2 days in Tokyo Disney Resort (first day in Tokyo DisneySea and second in Tokyo Disneyland)… … and a little extra came as a cherry on top … Read more
Last April As You Like magazine asked me to share my 10 go-to spots in Tokyo and create an illustrated map for the Spring issue dedicated to Asia. I love drawing maps, food and small details: it’s a time consuming job but it’s really something I like doing when I have time. 10 spots … Read more

Like last time, I kept a daily journal, and I’ll be sharing it on the blog during these upcoming weeks (months maybe!). Be ready for some intensive reading! The trip ended with 6 days … Read more
After a few days in a serene atmosphere, we’re back in Tokyo for a few days before the end of our trip (aaah, I’m so sad!). We had to choose between all the japanese amusement parks: Universal Studio in Osaka, Puroland (dedicated to Hello Kitty & Friends) in Tokyo and Tokyo Disneyland. It is possible … Read more
The early bird catches the worm! Today, we rose early again (but not as early as for the Tsukiji market!) to be there at 8 am, for the opening hour of the SkyTree, the great Tokyo observation tower. Before anything else, it is a radio/tv broadcasting station (like the Eiffel Tower), built in 2011. It … Read more

Instead of choosing Shinjuku’s or Shibuya’s heady turmoil, we chose the (relative) tranquility of the Asakusa area. Due to its gorgeous Senso-ji temple, … Read more
