RA x JNTO - JAPAN CITY GUIDES

  • Conor McTernan

In the Japan City Guides films, produced with the Japan National Tourism Organization, we asked four artists to show us the music, food and art spots hidden in their home cities. We meet the charismatic owners of listening bars, nightclubs, restaurants and more in Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka. Our guides—Akiko Kiyama, AOKI takamasa, DJ DYE and Foodman—provide an intimate glimpse into Japan's grassroots creative scenes. Each film comes with a supporting playlist or mix inspired by their home city. For this project, we worked with multiple teams, timezones and the procedures of a large government organisation. https://www.residentadvisor.net/japancityguides
