Hello! I'm Leandra, and I'm stoked to be your guide as we dive into Japan. With seven years under my belt living here, I've become your trusted source for all things related to exploring this amazing country. Whether it's navigating the bustling city streets or trekking through scenic nature trails, I've got you covered.
I have extensive experience guiding excursions through mountains, inner city hidden gems, underground music scenes, and scenic day trips in the vicinity of Tokyo. When I'm not guiding, you can catch me indulging in my hobbies of digging into Japanese history, hitting up local shrines, lacing up my running shoes for a jog, scouting out new restaurants, or hitting the trails for a hike.
Originally from sunny SoCal, my roots stretch back to both Japanese and Mexican heritage, with a sprinkle of samurai lineage thrown in for good measure.
So, if you're ready to dive into the real Japan, away from the tourist traps, join me for an adventure you won't soon forget. Let's do this!
“So happy we booked with Leandra!”
My wife and I travelled to Tokyo for our honeymoon and we booked Leandra for the day to get a lay of the land. We're so glad we did! Leandra reached out early to understand what we were looking for and planned accordingly. She also made herself available for questions before, during, and after our tour. Truly a great experience working with her!

“Leandra is Exceptional!”
Leandra is the best tour guide I’ve ever met. She went above and beyond for my family. She helped us with things not related to the tour. There is nothing she won’t help you with, which is comforting for a first time visitor to Japan. She answers every question and spends so much time researching for you. She knows where to get everything and offers her assistance. We couldn’t have planned our trip to Japan without Leandra. She also is a wonderful tour guide! We love Leandra!
“Great and Fun Tour”
Leandra was such an amazing guide! She offered a customized itinerary for the day and took us to some great spots. She was very knowledgeable about everything and kept me entertained the whole time. Such a wonderful personality too! She even offered places she thought I liked once we met and talked more about my interests. Thank you so much Leandra, it was great meeting you!
