About Nextaroma

I am Lionel Dersot, a French national in Tokyo since 1985.

​I design private days of discovery in Tokyo and to nearby destinations, for those travelers oftenly not enthusiastic with the ready-made tourists attractions and so called experiences churned out from destinations databases and algorithmic recommendations.

The experiences I share are based on 35+ years living in Tokyo with a keen awareness of what authenticity means. Daily quality Japanese life with food at the center is what I offer first. I do not rely on buzz, hype and rankings to design your private discovery days in the city and nearby destinations.

My expert territories start with Tokyo inner city, but also the wonderful Western green countryside of the capital city that allows to disengage from the urban grind for a day of discovery, or just relaxing.

I am very much into gastronomy, food products that matter, from the humble to the exclusive fares. Comfort, relaxation and access to beauty are essential ingredients to make your days in Japan unforgetable. I seriously take these into account when designing your days and help you avoid the superficial and artificial.

I am a certified tour manager at the Japan Tourism Agency, license number 13-16-0179.

Conversation is free and I believe of value. Get in touch.
