Hi, I’m Lauren, your local host in Tokyo! What I love most about this city is how every neighborhood feels like its own world, each with its unique charm and vibe. Tokyo’s convenience, amazing food, and seamless transport make exploring an absolute joy, and I’m here to help you experience it all. I love discovering new restaurants, exploring seasonal gardens and parks, and visiting museums—especially smaller, local ones with unique stories to tell. Whether it’s the bustling streets of Shibuya, the historic charm of Asakusa, or the vibrant energy of Harajuku, I know just the right places to make your visit unforgettable. With a deep knowledge of Tokyo’s neighborhoods, train systems, and the best spots to eat, I’ll take you through the city’s highlights and hidden gems. Let’s explore Tokyo together and create memories you’ll always treasure!

Lauren provided us with detailed visits to several sites and gave us the background to understand the importance of them. She guided us and instructed us on using the train to get around Tokyo on our own. She also gave us great tips for other places that we should visit.

Lauren engaged with us within minutes of meeting just like a friend rather than a tour guide and our conversations ranged far and wide regarding the Japan of yesterday and today.

Given I only had a a small amount of time to experience Tokyo this was a great way to see the highlights without having to navigate myself.
