Tokyo

"I’m a big fan of taking the train and going out of the city. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of surfing so I take the train to go to Onjuku in Chiba because you can be on the beach in just two hours."

"PechaKucha is a good place for creatives to meet and see new people."

"There's a really great place just outside of the main city, called Slope. It’s in Kamiigusa where they make a lot of anime and animated movies. There’s a really nice café there. It’s very comfortable to draw and drink."

"My favorite exhibition space in Roppongi is called 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT. They have the most amazing exhibitions and displays. It can be a bit hidden away so I’d try and take someone there."

"Shibuya Yokocho, a drinking street in Shibuya, is very cinematic. You’ve got these lanterns and these tiny bars — each bar can hold maybe six people. There’s one called TIGHT, it’s on the second floor of Yokocho. It’s really, really good."

"You can go up to the Telecom Center in Odaiba, close to the airport, and see a classic cityscape. You’ve also got the Tokyo Tower, Skytree and Rainbow Bridge. Or there are cafés at the top of Tokyu Hands in Shibuya that also give really good views from within the city."
