Hi! My name is Simon. I’m a British guy who lived in Tokyo for three years and ran a coffee shop called Deakin St coffee stand with my wife. We’ve now moved to Kyoto, and I am exploring this beautiful city through sound. I run a podcast that asks Kyoto locals about their favourite sound and then tells the story behind it. I’m excited to share my experience of Kyoto with you.

“The sound of Japan is what really fascinates me. In cities like Kyoto, a peaceful river in a quiet, secluded park can be appreciated whilst trains rush to and from the city centre just a stone’s throw away.”
