Mustière, Pierre

Pierre Mustière was born in France in 1976, but has lived in Tokyo since 1998. He has a keen interest in the city’s history and is always curious to learn more about it. At weekends he often wanders around little-known corners of the Japanese capital in search of a forgotten bridge, an obscure alley, or a hidden shrine or garden, to discover (or rediscover) parts of this metropolis that he thought he knew. Although working in a completely different field in his day job, for his own pleasure he has qualified as a National Guide-Interpreter (通訳案内士) and is also licensed as a Tokyo City Guide (東京シティガイド).

Pierre and Yoko are married and have one daughter.
Secret Tokyo</a>

Secret Tokyo

A building that acts as a giant firewall,a secret city centre canyon,a statue that cures warts, ultra-modern designer toilets, an extraordinary tree that helps you quit smoking, an electronic sunflower, a spectacular modern temple hidden in the heart of Shinjuku, a street that gives Tokyo taxi drivers nightmares, a massive building that looks like a warship, forgotten rivers … Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Tokyo swings between modernity and tradition, preservation of its heritage, sophisticated aestheticism and eccentricity, offering countless off beat experiences.
