Who I am?

Greetings, world explorers!

I am Purna Lal Chakma, hailing from the vibrant Chittagong Hill Tracts nestled within Bangladesh. A decade ago, life’s grand adventure led me to Tokyo, a city I now call home.

My passions intersect at the crossroads of traveling, blogging, photography, writing books, and website creation, painting a holistic picture of my love for exploration and storytelling. I find immense joy in documenting Tokyo’s allure, capturing its majestic attractions, towering skyscrapers, and vibrant cultural events through my camera lens.

And guess what? I am more than willing to share these visual narratives. Imagine receiving personalized photographs of Tokyo’s gems delivered right to your inbox, painting a vivid picture of what awaits you.

Your visit to my site and interest in my journey is deeply appreciated. I am thrilled to have you here, learning about me and, potentially, my beloved Tokyo.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I look forward to being part of your Tokyo adventure!

Your Support is Appreciated:

Tokyo, a vibrant metropolis comprised of 23 unique Special Wards, can be a bewildering labyrinth for travelers, especially those here on short visits.

I must admit, after almost a decade of living here, Tokyo’s depths still continue to reveal themselves to me. Sometimes, I turn to my Japanese wife to help uncover key tourist spots or stay abreast of local events. It makes me wonder, without a local partner, how many lifetimes would one need to know Tokyo truly?

Just jesting, of course!

But I can confidently say that my knowledge has grown exponentially compared to my early days in Tokyo. I understand how daunting it can be to plan an efficient, fulfilling itinerary when faced with Tokyo’s attractions’ sheer scale and diversity. In light of my own experiences, I was driven to ease the way for others who venture into this metropolis every year.

That’s why I’ve dedicated my time and effort to building this website – to turn your Tokyo experience from overwhelming to awe-inspiring. Even if my resources help just a handful of explorers, I consider my labor well worth it.

And the truth is, it’s been worth it. The outpouring of support from you, the global community of travelers, has been heartening. Your emails, questions, kind words, and financial support through booking hotels and tours via my affiliate links have fueled my determination and ability to keep this site running.

I am deeply grateful to every visitor who lands on my website, especially those who support me financially by using my affiliate links for their bookings. Rest assured, it does not add any additional cost to your travel expenses, but it does help me offset the costs of maintaining this site and motivates me to provide even more valuable content.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your support enables me to guide you through the enchanting maze of Tokyo, making every moment of your journey a treasure to remember.

Ambassador:

One more great thing I should share with you all.

I was appointed one of the 10 Sumida City Community Ambassadors in 2022.

It has been possible because of my family and all of your support.

So, I share my joy with you all.
