I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home.
I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures.
Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!

“Great tour days! ”
Leandra was super helpful before our tour and very easy to work with - and she was open to helping us arrange other things even (outside of our tour times). She was patient with our group of 11 and flexible when we changed plans and adjusted for the heat and varying needs during the day... she also found great things for our kids that we all really enjoyed.

“Great guide”
We spent a lovely day with Leandra. She is very friendly and polite and being American/Japanese she spoke perfect English. We didn’t want to see Shrines or Temples because we will be seeing them when we go on our cruise so Lea took us to a lovely park and then to various areas outside of the touristy places. We went to a great market and then had a nice Ramen for lunch in a place that the local people eat. Lea helped us navigate the trains and we walked a fair bit but when we got tired took a taxi. We would highly recommend Leandra if you are looking for guide in Tokyo.

“Great 2 Days In Tokyo”
We split a tour into 2 parts in Tokyo with Lea, and covered so much ground. We had a thorough tour and the perfect mix of historic shrines and temples, shopping, and eating, while explained the cultural nuances. She also saved the day by helping us get our train tickets for our future travels over the next 2 weeks. Thanks, Lea - we appreciate your hospitality in this lovely city.
