I live in Tokyo. For years I've been farming the most unique spots and experiences in this city - here's everything I know, for free.
The stuff nobody tells you until you've already wasted money figuring it out. eSIM, cash strategy, apps, packing.
10 minutes that save you $300+.
Bars, local spots, manners, and zero tourist shit. Everything I wish someone handed me before my first trip.
Where to actually go vs where every blog tells you to go. Google Maps links included.
For real chillers only. The moves that actually matter so you don't embarrass yourself.
The complete guide to a legendary golf day with the boys. I promise this will ruin golf everywhere else.
people who used these guides and came back to tell me
"I really enjoyed the bar suggestions⦠the highlight was Music Bar in Shibuya, I would never find it without your guide :D Place is lit"
"Because of matt we're staying in Nakano, eating at tiny izakayas in the backstreets, celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary at Grandfather's."
"Matt's guide helped me finding great authentic spots in Tokyo. It was super useful saving the spots on Google Maps to help me walking around Tokyo."
"We discovered The Bellwood from matt's guide. It was a great experience."
"I went to the thrift shops and coffee places matt recommended - the trip was absolutely incredible."
"I used matt's guides to help build my own japan itinerary for me and my friends."
"I really loved reading all those helpful sheets you made. They are a valuable piece of my trip preparation⦠a big plus are your Tokyo bar recommendations as I usually avoid the hyped places to find the normal life."
The guides above cover the basics. This is everything else - 14 chapters, scams to avoid, budget breakdowns by the yen, a Google Maps layer you load on your phone and just walk, daily cheat sheets, and every spot I personally go to. It took me months to write.
You're about to spend $3K-$8K on this trip. This is $29.
Waitlist price only. Goes to $59 after launch. No charge until it's live.

I've been coming to Japan for 8 years and living in Tokyo for over 2. Everyone recommends the same 10 places and everyone shows up to the same 10 places. I've spent years farming the most unique and interesting experiences in this city - and I've laid them all out in these guides because I want you to have the same life-changing experience in Tokyo that I first had that made me want to move here.
