Hi, I'm Rika!

Born and raised in the heart of Tokyo, I've spent my whole life wandering through the lantern-lit alleys of Asakusa and gazing up at the Skytree from every angle you can imagine.

As a mom of two, I know how important it is to have a day that works for everyone — curious toddlers, excited teens, grandparents, and everything in between. My tours are paced with care, full of stories, and packed with the little details that only a local could know.

I'll be your friend, your translator, your navigator — and your biggest fan as you fall in love with this city just like I did.

The Person Behind
Your Tokyo Story

🌸

A True Tokyo Native

I grew up just minutes from Senso-ji, went to school near Akihabara, and raised my kids in the Sumida area. Tokyo isn't just where I work — it's the city that shaped who I am. I'll show you the side of it most tourists never get to see.

Mom First, Guide Second

Having kids completely changed how I see travel. I know the cleanest restroom stops, the least crowded times to visit Senso-ji, the snacks kids actually enjoy, and how to make even a 4-year-old feel like a real explorer.

💬

Your Bridge to Local Life

I'm here to close the gap between you and Tokyo — its language, culture, and people. Don't be surprised if we end up chatting with a shopkeeper, joining a temple ritual, or sharing fresh-baked ningyo-yaki straight from the cart.

A huge shoutout to Rika, who made my parents' Tokyo trip unforgettable! Coming from Bangalore as senior citizens, they needed someone who understood their pace and dietary needs. Rika was a dream — she curated every meal and adjusted the routes so they wouldn't have to walk too far. If you're looking for a guide who is patient, organized, and deeply caring, Rika is the one!
