Currently traveling throughout Japan, and I'm looking for people to hang out with! I'm back in Tokyo until 11.22.16, and I'm looking for other travelers who want to take in the sites and sounds of the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Will be traveling to Japan very soon! Will be staying in Kyoto from Oct 23 - Nov 5, and Tokyo from Nov 5 - Nov 23. Looking to meet up with locals to find out where anything cool related to music might be (coffee shops, record stores, small venues, etc).
