Overview

Hi, I'm Hana — a Tokyo native with a background in airport ground service and as an executive assistant. Both jobs taught me the same thing: how to notice what someone needs before they ask. That's exactly what I bring to this tour.

On this private tour, we'll shape a Tokyo experience around what interests you.

Explore areas such as:

Asakusa — traditional streets and history
Shibuya & Harajuku — modern culture and energy
Ueno & Tsukiji — local food and everyday Tokyo
Imperial Palace Area — gardens, history, and quiet elegance

Mix neighborhoods, take your time, and enjoy Tokyo at your own pace.
No crowded groups. No fixed itinerary.
Just a more personal way to experience Tokyo.

Perfect for first-time visitors or travelers who prefer a relaxed, local perspective.

✔ 100% private tour — only you and your guide
✔ Custom itinerary built around what you want to see
✔ Native Tokyo guide with a hospitality background
