Fuel your creativity in the artisan cafés of Kuramae (known as 'Tokyo's Brooklyn'), soak in the authentic vibes of Asakusa, and enjoy the modern lifestyle near Tokyo Skytree.

This area is an ideal base for nomads who want to experience the real Tokyo beyond the tourist trail—away from the crowds of Shibuya.

Hi, I'm Tacchinardi!

I work at a tech platform company in Tokyo. When I was working abroad as a digital nomad, local communities saved me from loneliness and gave me great opportunities to connect with like-minded people.

Now, it's my turn. I want to create a space where travelers and locals can mix, share tips about Japan, discover the best spots in Asakusa and Kuramae, and have fun together.

Whether you're here for a week or a year, you're welcome to join our community!

FAQ for Tokyo Nomads

Unlike the crowds of Shibuya or Shinjuku, Asakusa offers the perfect balance of authentic Japanese culture and modern convenience near Tokyo Skytree. It's quieter, safer, and perfect for focused work.

Absolutely. The neighboring area, Kuramae (known as Tokyo's Brooklyn), is full of artisan cafes with high-speed Wi-Fi. We curate the best work-friendly spots on this site.

It is generally more affordable than Shibuya or Minato-ku. You can find great value in accommodation and local "Cheap Eats," making it a strategic choice for long-term stays.

Not at all! Our meetups and online community are English-friendly. We connect international nomads with locals who want to communicate in English.

Find Your Vibe: Shitamachi vs. Toshin

While West Tokyo (Shibuya/Shinjuku) offers the fast-paced modern metropolis, East Tokyo (Asakusa/Kuramae) offers the soul of the city. We choose the calm, authentic side for our base.
