Hidden Gems Along Tokyo’s Retro Streetcar Line 🚃


Hey Reader,

One of my favorite things to do in Japan is to find unique trains to ride. Exploring by train makes it easy to discover areas I might not have visited otherwise — and this Tokyo itinerary is built entirely around one of the city's most charming and underrated lines.

Explore a quieter side of Tokyo with this 1-day solo itinerary along the Toden Arakawa Sakura Tram Line. From fox shrines to thick udon noodles, discover hidden gems off the beaten path.

In this video, you’ll see how my day went (places visited, route, etc.) and get travel tips based on my experience.

For full travel itinerary details, check out the following linked blog post and additional travel bonus below:

I hope you find these Japan travel guides and vlogs helpful!

With love,

Remi

Hi Reader, This week I shared something a little different: a vlog of what my life actually looks like at home in California — not a Japan trip, not a travel guide, just real life between adventures. Watch the California vlog here If you’ve been wondering where the Japan travel guides from my spring trip are, don’t worry — they’re coming, just taking a bit longer than expected. Look for those at the end of July/August. In the meantime, I wanted to show more of the in-between: what I’m up to,...

life in california vlog

Hey Reader, New video is up, and it's a little different than usual. For most of you, this channel = Japan. But today I'm sharing what life actually looks like back home in California when I'm not traveling: a road trip, a nail appointment, a block party in LA, and a few thoughts on what's coming next for this channel. Watch it here If you've been waiting on the Japan travel guides from my spring trip, don't worry — they're still coming (end of July/August). In the meantime, this is the start...

Remi's Reads | For all things books

Hi Reader, Some of you might remember Remi's Reads — my short-lived booktube channel from way back. Well, the name's back... just in a new format. I've started writing reading wrap-ups and reviews under "Remi's Reads" over on Patreon.

My latest post is up now: the 2026 Mid-Year Book Tag — a look back at what I've read so far this year (favorites, surprises, a...
