If you've ever wondered what it's really like to live in Tokyo—beyond the tourist traps and shiny travel reels—this episode's for you. After 14 years here, I'm sharing why I chose to settle down in Kasai, a neighborhood that often gets overlooked but offers comfort, convenience, and a strong sense of community. From local food spots and family-run businesses to easy access to Disney and Tokyo Station, this deep dive covers what makes Kasai feel like home. Whether you're planning a trip or thinking long-term, I hope this gives you a more grounded look at what daily life in Japan can actually be.
