TOKYO FADES HERE is a travel journal dedicated to the quiet corners just outside of Tokyo — places where you can spend a slow, thoughtful day away from the rush. We feature calm coastal towns, hillside temples, local markets, and everyday streets that invite you to pause.
This is not a guide to Tokyo, but to the spaces around it — destinations ideal for a one-day trip from Tokyo, yet deserving of your full attention.
Towns like Kamakura, Hayama, and Zushi — and other quiet corners just beyond the city — offer more than sightseeing.
They offer rhythm, texture, and a sense of ease — a glimpse into a slower, more grounded lifestyle that blends daily life with the charm of place.
We believe travel isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes, it’s about doing less — walking without a plan, sipping coffee alone, or listening to the sea. This site collects such experiences and shares them through words, images, and gentle mood.
Whether you’re visiting Japan or living here, we hope to guide you toward places that feel less like a destination and more like a retreat — small escapes where TOKYO FADES.
Since 2025, from somewhere in KitaKamakura.
