What train station you live at in Tokyo is a big part of your identity. Basically, if you live in Shibuya and take the Yamanote Line to work, you're cool. And you should flaunt it. Plus, if you lose your cell phone, this way the person who finds it can bring it to your stationmaster for you. It's like an ID card for your cell phone. Buy your train station sign strap here.
But don't buy one if you live in, like, Shinkoganei, or somewhere equally obscure and random.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!
