Hi there, I'm Leon, your friendly local host here in Tokyo. What I love most about Tokyo is Disney; it's my favorite spot, but I also can't get enough of the Akihabara game shops – they're a paradise for any gaming enthusiast! I'm passionate about the rich culture and efficient transport system of Tokyo, and nothing brings me more joy than sharing my knowledge with my guests. Whether we're exploring Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya, Bunkyo, Chiyoda, Ginza, Akihabara, Ueno, Asakusa, Sumida, or Odaiba, I know these neighborhoods like the back of my hand. As a Tokyo guru, I specialize in shopping, Otaku culture, kawaii fashion, retro gaming, card gaming, and more. I'll introduce you to all the cool neighborhoods and teach you everything you need to know about the city. Let's make your Tokyo adventure unforgettable! See you soon.

Leon was very open to where my son wanted to go and what he wanted to see. I liked how personal the tour was.

Leon was fantastic! I wasn’t sure how my 84 year old mother would cope in a busy city like Tokyo. Leon was so thoughtful, respectful and considerate. He took mum by the arm and guided her through the busy streets and supported her down steps and on to the busy trains. He made sure she took lots of rest and went at a slow pace. He planned the tour around our requests and even to a random specialist shop I wanted to visit. He then put us in a taxi back to our hotel. He made our experience of Tokyo unforgettable. His knowledge of the city and Japanese culture is immense. I will definitely return to this amazing city and mum had an experience to treasure. Thankyou Leon

We were given an excellent tour by our guide Leon. We had booked perhaps 10 days ahead and Leon not only reached out to introduce himself within a day or so of our initial booking but then went above and beyond expectations with great ideas and willingness to focus on our specific interests and make the 6 hours we had together a really wonderful introduction to Japan. We always were seeing new things but never felt rushed as he effortlessly let us spend just the amount of time that we wanted at each destination. Stunning Buddhist and Shinto Shrines, various types of market places for shopping, excellent Sushi and interesting stories and insights at each location. He also humored us with our oddball requests like teaching us the subway system and what was best products to buy at their ubiquitous convenience stores like 7-11 , Lawsons and Family Mart. His English was quite good and we had no problems communicating back and forth despite our shameful lack of Japanese

We couldn’t have asked for a better host! Leon was very knowledgable , and patient with all our questions and helping us with getting our suica IC cards. He was so friendly and even stayed on for another hour with us while we waited for the parade to begin. First Class!! Thank you.
