My personal history:

I was born in Tokyo.

Having spent my childhood at Tamagawa in Tokyo, I moved to Chiba with my parents.
Since then, my family moved from one place to another inside Chiba prefecture while I was growing up.

To study and work in Tokyo, I moved back to Tokyo alone and lived there for a few years.

Since the graduation, I have changed my jobs more than ten times.
Now I make a living out of my writing mostly on the web.

Thank you, the visitors to our Asakusa Underground site.
We would like to tell you plenty of stories, which are well known in Japan but little known in the rest of the world.

Being a backpacker myself, I am committed to bring you useful information about "How one can travel in expensive Japan without spending much".
