Meet Aya, Your Local Guide

Hi, I’m Aya. I’m a Tokyo local with experience working at an airport cosmetics store, where I regularly assisted international travelers in English.

As a parent, I also understand what makes traveling with children easier — from family-friendly restaurants to comfortable places to take a break.

I know Ginza and Marunouchi especially well, and I can help with transportation, restaurants, shopping, simple Japanese, and planning a realistic trip around Japan.

“Your local connection in Tokyo — friendly, flexible support from someone who knows the city well.”
