Hello everyone! My name is Mila
and I am excited to share my beloved Tokyo with you!
I am Ukrainian 🇺🇦, but for the past 23 years, Tokyo has been my vibrant home. This unique perspective—being both an outsider and a long-time local—allows me to show you the city in a deeply personal and authentic way.
Traveling is my passion, and for many years I have channeled this love into my own Travel Blog
. I understand what it means to be a curious visitor, and I know exactly what fascinating details are often missed by guidebooks.
Above all, I love people! My greatest joy is connecting with others and sharing the magic of Tokyo, from its hidden temples and serene gardens to its bustling backstreets and incredible food scenes.
I don't just guide; I share the city I have lived, loved, and explored for over two decades. Join me to see Tokyo through the eyes of someone who truly calls it home, and let’s create unforgettable memories together!
