🌸 Warmest welcome! I’m a Russian living in Japan — from Moscow to Tokyo, with a few delicious detours along the way — here I am: your travel bestie and go-to guide for uncovering hidden gems, top tables, and everything in between! My story started in Moscow, wandered through the U.S., and found its forever home in Japan. For over 20 years, I’ve been soaking up everything this country has to offer — the language, culture, history, and yes, way too much wagyu and sushi! Tokyo’s been my playground all this time, and trust me, it never gets old. If you’re craving a Tokyo experience that goes beyond the usual checklist, you’re in the right hands 🙌 Whether your vibe is art, history, gardens, or simply eating your way through the city (no judgment — I do it too), I’ve got you covered! From cozy izakayas hidden down lantern-lit alleys to breathtaking viewpoints and charming neighborhoods only locals wander into, I dig up the kind of places that make you feel like you’ve discovered something special — because you have! I love crafting experiences that suit every style and budget, mixing a taste of tradition with a splash of adventure. Think sushi with soul, temples with stories, and corners of the city you never knew existed. Tokyo is full of surprises, and I’m here to help you find them — with a full belly and a big smile 🤩 Oh, and by the way — I didn’t just fall in love with Japan, I graduated in it! After earning my degree in Hospitality Business and International Tourism from Moscow State University of Management in 2003, I packed my bags (and an oversized inspiration) and headed to Tokyo. Some years later, I earned my diploma from the famous Travel & Conductor College (2012) and proudly passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test at N2 level — because I like to really blend in when I ask for extra ramen toppings 😋 Count on me, I know this country like the back of my train ticket, and you will do too! My travel motto? Don’t just visit Japan — live it! I’ll encourage you to roll up your sleeves for hands-on workshops, chat with locals over a cup of matcha, and dive into real-life experiences that show what everyday Japanese living is truly like. Because the best way to understand Japan isn’t by following a map — it’s by following your curiosity! Ready to turn your Tokyo dreams into reality? Let’s team up and create a day that’s totally you — whether that means ancient temples, neon-lit backstreets, food adventures, or all of the above. Reach out today, and together we’ll craft an experience that’s full of stories, flavor, and those little magical moments you’ll remember every time you think back to Japan. Your future self will thank you (probably while smiling at a photo of you eating something amazing). So hey, let’s make some unforgettable memories — Tokyo-style! 🇯🇵✨ Just a quick note — I’m not a licensed guide, so I can’t make bookings or buy tickets on your behalf. But don’t worry — I’m great at politely persuading your hotel receptionist to handle all that for you! 😉✨ And while I won’t be behind the wheel myself, I’m happy to help arrange a comfy ride with a professional driver, so you can sit back, relax, enjoy the view and listen to my stories! 🚗✨🫶

Let’s be honest — shopping in Tokyo can feel like stepping into another universe. The labels are in Japanese, the options are endless, and before you know it, your dream day turns into a maze of confusion. But your precious vacation time is way too valuable to waste deciphering kanji on your own! That’s where I come in. With my insider knowledge of Tokyo’s shopping scene, I’ll help you skip the guesswork and get straight to the good stuff. Whether you’re here for a dream vacation or a business trip, I’ll turn your goals into reality — fast, smooth, and stress-free. Just send me your wish list before the tour, and I’ll take care of the rest — from research and planning to smart time management. My personalized assistance covers everything: translation, interpreting, negotiations, pre-orders, and even delivery. Because in Tokyo, the only thing you should be lost in… is excitement. 🌸

Great time with Yulia in Tokyo. Relaxing and enjoyable experience. Thank you Yulia!
Yulia was very friendly and a joy to be with. She answered my many questions with clarity and energy. I will use her tour services again soon when I bring a small group to Japan in the near future! She also gave me extra time helping me to resolve a travel issue I had regarding traveling back from Tokyo to the Narita airport. I highly recommend her as a guide when visiting Tokyo, or any other city in Japan! Looking forward to my next visit to Japan. Thank you Yulia!
We really enjoyed our tour around Ginza and got to learn so much about Tokyo. The guide recommended locations tailored to our taste and was extremely flexible. Overall had such a great experience.
Julia is one of the best guides i ever had Very knowledgeable professional extremely accommodating goes above and beyond conducts a thorough research and always listens to the customer's requests and wishes highly recommend
This was our second tour with Yulia. We first met on the Welcome to Japan tour. We were now ready for the Tokyo night life. Yulia knows the best restaurants and lots of fun things to do at night. The whole evening was a blast and I can't imagine a better guide to take you around the city. With Yulia she always makes you feel special and is very flexible to meet your needs. Our entire trip to Japan was fantastic but the best days were with Yulia. What a joy and awesome guide she was. I will miss her.
