Architecture Tours in Tokyo
The U.K. expat was inspired to start his tour company 13 years ago after hunting down event news for a Tokyo magazine. It’s easy to get lost in Tokyo, Spreckley points out, since most buildings are not protected, and the city is constantly regenerating itself. Of his architecture trips, he says, “you get an amazing mix, like a new building by Kenzo Tange across from a decrepit old vegetable shop.”
Tour Highlight: A secret house that’s been converted by a genius architect. “It’s a magical escape,” Spreckley says, “a restaurant by night and sweet shop by day.”
