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!

“Made our trip amazing. ”
Leandra was far beyond what we expected. She was flexible and had a deep knowledge of neighbourhoods and the culture of the areas. She took us out to some amazing places and made us feel like locals. Cannot say enough of how much our time with her made our 1st trip to Japan beyond what we expected it to be. Looking forward to seeing her again when we come back. Highly recommended for people who want to experience the nightlife and culture of Tokyo and the smaller areas. Thank you x100

“Best day of my trip in Japan!”
Leandra couldn’t have curated a more perfect day in Tokyo. I wanted to visit areas only locals know about and she delivered a memorable day. Yesterday’s bus tour gave me an overview of the city while today I saw hidden gems. Leandra is knowledgeable about Japanese politics, history, culture and the arts. I highly recommend her for any and all tours.
