My name is Junyi. I currently live in Tokyo, work full time while maintaining this blog to record my love for travel and food, and all the tiny things around me.

In this blog I provide recommendations on traveling in Japan, mostly around Tokyo area, full of tips on exploring the less explored and experiencing the experience almost exclusive to the locals. When traveling, I always try to travel like a local (which is basically why I started learning Japanese 3 years ago. )

I am also a food enthusiast, and said to have some talent (yes! ). I experiment what is there in my fridge and create my own dish inspired by everyday hints and my travels. Sometimes I do go out and dine, searching for all the nice spots for a quick lunch or a comforting afternoon coffee/tea, sometimes a luxury dinner with friends.

It is so refreshing to have a blog of one’s own. I always wanted to try some creative stuff, be it photography, painting, even cooking, I have all tried for some time and even until now (hope I will be able to show some of my paintings with enough confidence). Writing a blog might be one of the most “rewarding” ways, as I look at my posts being created, one at a time, with all that I wanted to record/share. I thank you, my readers, for giving a look at the trivial life of this strange foreign girl in a city of a different language.

Please let me know what you think of my blog. Only with your valuable feedback will this blog becomes better and better!
