CONCRETE

Concrete Cowgirl Travel Guides

I started keeping notes in the margins of maps.
Names of towns, streets that felt like memories, cafes where the light fell just right. I created a new archetype - Concrete Cowgirl—inspired by, as so many things in this life are, a line from 30 Rock, The Rolling Stones, Patti Smith, and patron saint of travel Anthony Bourdain.

Concrete Cowgirl is a traveling altar. A stitched-together record of the sacred and strange. It’s not about chasing destinations. It’s about showing up somewhere new and letting it change you.

These are the places that hold you while you figure it out. That remind you: you don’t have to know what’s next to love where you are.

COWGIRL

Tokyo

What started as a 200 places long Google Maps list became the Tokyo and Kyoto guides!

This is your intuitive map to Tokyo—where to stay, eat, drink, shop, and wander when you want the city to open up like a story.

From quiet cafés along the canal to hidden bars in back alleys, this guide is a collection of places that felt like portals—thresholds into beauty, belonging, or just a much-needed bowl of noodles.

Access the full guide—hotels, cafés, vintage gems, galleries, playlists, and soft landings included.

Day Guides (FREE)

You just got off a long flight. You’re disoriented, probably dehydrated, and don’t want to make a single decision. This guide’s for that exact moment.

Where to get your first coffee. Where to walk it off. Where to eat something simple and perfect. A standing sushi bar. Gyoza in a back alley. A bar that plays records and doesn’t care what time it is.

A taste of the full guide!

Kyoto

Perfect for the non-planner planners who just want a bunch of options and then can glance at a map when they're hungry.

This is your map to Kyoto—where to stay, eat, walk, and wander when you're chasing quiet beauty, mossy stillness, or a really good bowl of udon.

From tiny record bars and heated-floor dinners to temples Bowie loved and cafés tucked down alleys, this guide is a collection of places that felt like portals—into memory, into magic, into yourself.

Access the full guide—meals, matcha, hidden paths, vintage shops, gallery stops, and a few spiritual surprises along the way.
