Tokyo has exploded in popularity as a travel destination, and with that surge comes an overwhelming flood of information. It's easy to get lost in the sea of trendy spots and miss out on the true essence of Tokyo. That's where we come in. We're more than just a travel blog; we're a passion project born from a shared love for this city.

tokyo hibi was founded by two individuals with a unique perspective: a native Japanese resident and a foreigner who has called Japan home for nearly a decade. We often found ourselves fielding requests for genuine recommendations and realized there was a need for a resource that offered curated, authentic experiences, allowing visitors to truly connect with the city.

Our Mission:

We're dedicated to providing you with:
