Shin
I'm Shin. I'm Japanese, and I've lived in Tokyo for 18 years.
I read the Japanese-language originals — fare tables, tax notices, operator announcements — and write what they actually say, not what a press release says they say. I've shown friends from seven countries around Japan, and I've travelled to more than twenty cities outside it, so I know what it's like to be the one who can't read the menu.
What you'll find here: real prices with the date I checked them, honest comparisons that sometimes tell you not to buy, and the practical details that guidebooks skip.
