Hello Damage Tokyo Tour Guide : the ultimate guide to underground Tokyo UPDATE!!! If you want to contact schultzzz the man himself and ask him for information, anecdotes, anything really about Tokyo Tour Guide, the places and people, and Japanese language
I wrote this article on Ikigai Room blog about what the “Hello Damage Tokyo Tour Guide” meant for the young me back in my first trip to Japan in 2006 and to further ones I did.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one following this incredibly detailed pre-social networks guide to the underground fringe Tokyo, its music, art, sleaze, and most of all, people. Those places, and getting there, are part of me, and now that the website is gone but partially preserved thanks to the Wayback Machine, I thought it was time to thank schultzzz.
You can even email him directly to ask him about his crazy Tokyo days and whatever adventures he’s embarked on now!
