Walking Tours in Tokyo
with a Belgian Guide

Every day, Connections sets up city walking tours with Nicolas Wauters, a young Belgian who's totally fallen for Tokyo.
Whether it's on foot, by bike, or metro, he'll take you around the city's main areas. Along the way, you'll learn how to get around and navigate this bustling metropolis. Plus, Nicolas will share all sorts of tips and stories about the city and its people.
Hello,
I'm Nicolas, a Belgian who's made Tokyo my home. My love for Japan started with video games and manga from my childhood. Ever since I was little, I had this unstoppable urge to explore Tokyo, the land of my heroes.
In 2010, I made that dream a reality, kicking off a new adventure and life for me here. I met my future wife, and our love grew so strong that I moved to Tokyo to be with her. Now living in the capital, I wander around the city by foot, bike, or metro. It's my playground. Every day, I enjoy discovering and sharing its wonders, living my passions to the fullest. Initially drawn by video games and new tech, now it's my love for my wife, combined with my fascination for Tokyo, photography, and urban trends that captivate me. Tokyo is a magical city, unlike anything you've seen before – its pace, architecture, people, paradoxes, culture, and so much more make it truly unique.
As a guide, nothing beats the joy of sharing the wonder with travellers seeing the city's streets for the first time. Fancy an adventure? Come join me and let me show you the Tokyo I love.

Enjoy tea at Sunny Hills in a spectacularly designed building. Take the metro to Shibuya for lunch (optional). At Shibuya Crossing, watch the spectacle of hundreds of pedestrians crossing the famous intersection.

Multi-level amusement parks and countless electronics stores await. Your first Tokyo experience ends with a visit to the Kanda Myojin Shrine.

After returning your bike, visit the illuminated Meji Shrine.
