“What are the unwritten rules?”

YOUR FIRST TIME IN TOKYO
A few questions before you arrive?
Practical help for your first days in Japan.
“How does Tokyo’s train system work?”
Let’s use it together — gates, platforms, and transfers — so you feel more confident exploring on your own from day two.
“On my first day, can you just show me around?”
Absolutely. I’ll meet you at your hotel and lead the way. Enjoy the sights without figuring out directions, with breaks when you need them.
“Could I get a little advice on the rest of my trip?”
Bring your plans. I’m happy to suggest what fits together and places to explore on your other days in Japan.
That’s what I’m here for.
I’ll help with the unfamiliar parts, so you can enjoy discovering Tokyo.
WHY HITOMY
A city of little discoveries.
Three things I love sharing about this city.
Tokyo, in conversation.
Living across cultures has made me curious about everyday life. Let’s walk the neighbourhoods and talk about what catches your eye.
A closer look at gardens.
My horticulture studies at Chiba University help me share the plants and seasonal details you might otherwise walk past.
Good food, thoughtful care.
A sushi counter or a sweet treat? My cabin crew experience taught me to listen closely — including when you’d welcome a food stop.

YOUR LOCAL GUIDE IN TOKYO
MEET YOUR GUIDE
I’m Hitomy — a local guide who grew up between worlds.
I’ve called Japan home for more than twenty years, with chapters in America, Indonesia, and Hong Kong along the way.
Moving between countries taught me how much the small things matter when a place is unfamiliar. That’s the understanding I bring to every tour.
I’d love to hear what brings you to Tokyo.
