Hi! I'm Elena. Let's Have fun!

🎨 Art Lover

Hi, I’m Elena! I’ve been living in Japan for five years, but before that, I was a bit of a nomad, living in seven different countries and exploring their art and culture. Japan has completely stolen my heart with its amazing food, cozy kissaten, vintage stores, antiques, and local neighborhoods. I’m obsessed with art gallery and museum hopping, and I love discovering hidden gems. I’m so excited to share my passion for art, culture, and all the unique charm of Japan. Let’s explore together!

I really enjoyed Koenji tour. Koenji is not a famous or large entertainment district like Shinjuku or Shibuya, but characterized by subculture taste and many graffiti works are scattered around not too noisy or flashy but lively and friendly town. I was also enchanted by the Guide. She was not only very knowledgeable about graffiti, about which there is not much information are available, but also very nice and attractive with artistic sense.

Elena took me to a neighborhood in Tokyo that I would not have discovered on my own. We had a great tour!

Elena was very knowledgeable about graffiti art and it was really cool to learn about the hidden artistic side of Koenji! Would definitely recommend for art lovers.
