HELLO! TOKYO TOURS | SPOTLIGHT ON: SID

Spotlight On: Sid

In this episode of Spotlight On we meet Sid, one of the first guides for Tokyo. We have asked Sid some questions about some of his favorite things in Japan.

What's your favorite food and where would you recommend people to get it?

The fruit sandwich from Sembikiya is, one of, if not, the best fruit sandwich in the world. The milky bread, cushioned by their sweet cream and high quality fruits is the best! It’s a bit pricy but definitely worth it. Beware, there can be long lines!

What’s your favorite place to take people to on tours?

By visiting Nihonbashi, I believe you will understand the culture and history of Tokyo/Japan better. It’s a beautiful place that’s filled with hidden gems and historical sights. It amazes me that so many old stores have survived for so long there.

I joined right before COVID-19 started, but the resilience and creativity of our team is what draws me the most. Even with the pandemic we’ve found ways to do what we love.

Something not many people know about Sid:

I love Brazlian Jiu Jitsu. I absolutely hate those injury videos where someone breaks an arm or leg, but I can’t stop practicing BJJ - where many injuries like that happen!
