Hello fellow travelers! I'm Christo, your friendly trip planner and guide for this unforgettable co-working adventure in Japan. With over four years of living and working in Tokyo, I've immersed myself in the vibrant Japanese culture and have become well-versed in its intricacies. From hidden gems of culinary delights beyond the usual sushi joints to the fascinating traditions that define this incredible country, I'm here to be your cultural compass. Navigating Japan can be challenging, especially without knowing the language, but worry not! I'm fluent in Japanese and will ensure a seamless and fun journey! Join me on this trip, and together we'll create lasting memories while embracing the unique life and culture of Japan:)

The accommodation arrangement will depend on the availability of facilities, but typically, two people will share a room in either a hotel or a rental apartment. I will consider a blend of Western and Japanese-style rooms for my TripMates! Please let me know your preference in advance, whether you prefer a cozy bed or the traditional experience of sleeping on a tatami mat. I will do my best to accommodate! The selected accommodations will be centrally located, providing easy access to both co-working spaces and popular attractions, allowing you to make the most of your time in Tokyo/Kyoto. Join me on this adventure designed for digital nomads seeking productivity and the authentic essence of Japan:D
