Many international residents happen to call Tokyo home as the city abounds with many creative, business and cultural opportunities. In the latest Tokyo Talk Stories series, we meet with four of Tokyo’s international residents: an entrepreneur from France, a brand marketing and content strategist from Canada, an IT marketing professional from China, and a designer from the Philippines. See what inspires these individuals and keeps them passionate and motivated in Tokyo.
Working in the fashion and beauty industry, this entrepreneur from France shares his love for the charming Yoyogi-Uehara. To him, this quaint neighbourhood is the ideal place for work and play as it feels like you are in the middle of the big city but you still get to enjoy a sense of local community.
This brand marketing and content strategist enjoys spending time around Kuramae, located just south of Asakusa. There are a lot of small shops and landmarks, which have recently opened and made this area more interesting.
An IT marketing professional from China, this Tokyoite believes the city is the best place to work. She also appreciates heading out to nature like Lake Okutama where she can relax and unwind.
Meet this designer from the Philippines who enjoys exploring and going for walks around Shibuya to discover the quieter pockets of the neighbourhood.
