When you’re in a big city like Tokyo - and they don’t get much bigger than Tokyo - it’s always good to have a mate you can call on. That is exactly what happened to me recently when i was visiting the Japanese capital. An old Somerset friend called Adam Kennedy - who has lived in the city for the past 17 years - showed me around and introduced me to his friends.

While in Tokyo Martin stayed at The Candeo Hotel Roppongi - visit www.candeohotels.com for more details.
