About Tour Guide Leandra I.
I’ve called Japan home for nine 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 traveler, 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 travelers 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 travelers 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!

“Fun Custom Tokyo Tour”
Leandra made sure I saw the things I requested but also customized things on the fly when I expressed interest. She had the back story on the places we visited. I had a minor disability at the time and she was solicitous, even standing in line for me at a couple of popular places. On the expensive side, but understandable for just one person.

“Wonderful Family-Friendly Tokyo Tour with Leandra!”
We had such a wonderful time exploring Tokyo with Leandra and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly and knowledgeable private guide! From the beginning, Leandra was warm, welcoming, patient, and very easy to communicate with. She has excellent knowledge of Tokyo and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited, Japanese culture, and everyday life in Japan. She explained everything in a way that was easy for both adults and children to understand, which made the tour much more enjoyable and meaningful for our whole family. What we especially appreciated was how kid-friendly and accommodating she was. Travelling with children can sometimes mean changing the pace or adjusting plans along the way, and Leandra was always flexible and understanding. We never felt rushed, and she made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the day. She was also very attentive to our travel preferences and helped us experience Tokyo at a comfortable pace rather than simply rushing from one tourist attraction to another. It felt more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a formal tour. Leandra’s friendly personality, patience, professionalism, and genuine care made our day in Tokyo very special. Our children also enjoyed spending the day with her, which says a lot! Thank you so much, Leandra, for being part of our wonderful memories of Japan. We had a fantastic time with you and would definitely love to see you again on our next visit to Tokyo. Highly recommended, especially for families travelling with children!

Tokyo One-day As You Like with Kaori
This tour fits all, from first timers to repeaters who love local experiences. You can choose what you like from spots listed, or I can pick up for you if you don't have clue. Just let me know your preferences. I can make a good combination of old and modern, major and local. Tokyo has a lot more besides the list. As full day tour (up to 8h), please pick up 3 or 4 spots. Or you can request specific spot not on the list. "Enjoy together with fun learning" is what you can expect with me.
