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!

“Forget Big Tours-Go with Leandra!!”
Leandra was an amazing guide!! Highly recommend her for anyone wanting some hands on guidance of Tokyo without the annoying structure of a big tour group. It was just my wife and I with Leandra for the day. She brought us to so many unique spots as well as some classic tourist destinations. She was able to tell us the history of the temples and parks we walked through. Spending the day with her felt like spending a day with a friend showing us their city! It was easy to talk to her and ask questions and she was very accommodating and flexible to our interests.
