Azabu (麻布) is a neighbourhood in Minato, Tokyo. It today comprises nine districts, namely Azabujuban, Azabudai, Azabu-Nagasakacho, Azabu-Mamianacho, Nishiazabu, Higashizabu, Minamiazabu, Motoazabu and Roppongi. Azabu is the most expensive and upscale district in the city.
Azabu existed as a ward of Tokyo from 1878 until 1947. The area suffered severe damage during the Second World War which devastated much of its commercial precinct. This was not redeveloped, and as a result, Azabu is mostly residential today.
Azabu is today a choice residence of successful Japanese artists, among them manga artist Naoko Takeuchi and vocalist Ayumi Hamsaki. It has incredibly expensive real estate such as the Roppongi area.
Let me take you to explore and discover Penang through my series of walking tours on YouTube. You may use these videos as your virtual tour guide. At the beginning of each video, I provide the starting point coordinates which you may key into your GPS, Google Maps or Waze, to be navigated to where I start the walk, and use the video as your virtual tour guide.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
