HI THERE, I'M BECKY

Hello and welcome! I’m Becky, the heart and soul behind Tokyo Becky. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I never imagined my life would lead me to Japan. My journey began unexpectedly when I came across a career fair at my university, where an English teaching program was promoting “one year of adventure” teaching abroad in Japan. Intrigued but unsure, I decided to take the plunge, despite knowing nothing about the language or culture, and not having a single contact in Japan.

Much to my family’s surprise, I made the bold move across the globe. Ten years later, I’m still captivated by the magic of Tokyo—the vibrant mix of ancient traditions and cutting-edge innovation, the hidden gems, and the wonderful complexities that make this city so unique.

Through this blog, I aim to share my personal experiences, travel tips, and the countless aspects of Tokyo and Japan that continue to fascinate me. Whether you’re interested in exploring Tokyo’s famous sights or uncovering its secret treasures, I hope you’ll find something here that sparks your curiosity.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure! Let’s discover Japan together.

With love,
Tokyo Becky
