About Tour Guide Leandra I.
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!

“What a fantastic day ”
Me and my son are foodies so we wanted to see some great places to eat and also had a few things on our shopping list. Lea planned a flexible day with various options for us, this suited us perfectly. As well as doing what we wanted we also asked to se some things that she thought we would enjoy. She showed us some fascinating parts of Tokyos History. We were not disappointed with the day. Lea being a native English speaker made it so easy to talk to and understand her. Her knowledge of Tokyo, Japanese culture and history gave us a thoroughly enjoyable day and took us places we would never have found on our own.

“The perfect family guide in Tokyo”
Leandra was truly the perfect guide for our family during our three days in Tokyo. From the very beginning, she felt like part of our family—warm, friendly, and always looking out for us. We had some special spots we wanted to visit, like Teamlabs and the Owl Cafe, and she made sure to fit them seamlessly into our plans while also showing us parts of the city we never would have discovered on our own. She helped us find great places to shop, try local treats, and experience Tokyo in a way that felt both exciting and easy. Navigating such a big city was effortless with Leandra by our side. On top of everything, she took fantastic photos of our family throughout the trip, which we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—Leandra was a perfect fit for our family, and we’d recommend her to anyone looking to make the most of their time in Tokyo. She made our trip truly special!

“Very nice tour”
Leandra was perfect. She was absolutely amazing and reliable. She did her very best to organize our day. She reserved a Kimono rental and we had the most amazing breakfast in a flower cafe which she recommended. She even reserved tickets for a wonderful night cruise for the three of us. I highly recommend booking Leandra! Thank you so much!
