Description
See Tokyo the way a local friend would show you — at your own pace, with no stress about language, trains, or getting lost.
I'm Hitomy, your private guide and a former international cabin crew member (Japan & Hong Kong). I speak fluent English and make first-time visitors feel at ease — solo travelers, couples, and families all welcome.
This is a fully private 5-hour tour for your group only. After booking, I'll message you to plan a route around your interests — temples, gardens, hidden neighborhoods, cafés, or city views — at a flexible pace with breaks anytime.
A popular route: begin at peaceful Meiji Shrine, stroll through stylish Aoyama for a relaxed tea break, then continue to the Imperial Palace and its gardens.
Areas we can explore: Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Aoyama, the Imperial Palace, Shibuya, Asakusa, and Ginza — from historic shrines and gardens to modern city views.
A warm, safe, welcoming day — ideal for first-time visitors and solo women travelers.

A perfect day out in Tokyo
We couldn’t have asked for a better host than Hitomy for our first day in Tokyo. The neighbourhoods and activities were chosen with care keeping our preference in mind. Hitomy was very prompt and responsive in communicating prior to the day. It felt like exploring a new city with an old friend with great conversation and information about the areas we visited. We also got some great recommendations and guidance from Hitomy for exploring the city on our own. I highly recommend a tour with Hitomy when in Tokyo!
Operator response
Thank you so much, Kriti! It means a lot that you chose me for your very first day in Tokyo.
"Exploring a new city with an old friend" - that's exactly what I hope for every time. Thank you for that.
I hope you will come back soon and stay in touch!

Private Tour
It was our first time in Japan, and we're so glad we booked this tour with her on our very first day.
She taught us how to use the trains and shared valuable tips on Japanese manners, which was so helpful.
We left the itinerary up to her, and every choice she made was perfect.
Her friendly personality and warm laughter made us feel completely at ease, even in a new country.
We never felt lost or stressed, just relaxed and happy as we explored.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful start to our Japan trip.
Operator response
Thank you so much for joining my tour. I am glad to know you enjoyed the time with me. Hope you come visit Japan again soon. I still have a ton of places I want to show you.
See you next time x
