On her WTA Tour debut at the Japan Women's Open,[3] where she qualified for the main draw, Ito reached the semifinals defeating Sofia Kenin[4] and eighth seed Elisabetta Cocciaretto, for her first top 50 career win,[5] and lucky loser Eva Lys,[6] before losing in the last four to Kimberly Birrell.[7]

Ito won her first WTA 125 title at the Canberra Tennis International, defeating defending champion and top seed Nuria Párrizas Díaz in the semifinals[8] and Wei Sijia in the final.[9] As a result, she reached a new career-high ranking of 109, on 6 January 2025.[10]

She qualified for her first WTA 1000 tournament at the Qatar Ladies Open losing to Jeļena Ostapenko in the first round.[11] The following week, Ito qualified for the Dubai Open, but again fell in the first round, this time to Belinda Bencic.[12]

In March 2025, she qualified for the Miami Open, but lost in the first round to Lauren Davis in three sets.[13] She made her major debut at Wimbledon,[14] losing to Kamilla Rakhimova in the first round.[15]

Ito qualified for the Canadian Open and got her first WTA 1000 win by defeating Katie Volynets.[16] She followed this up by fighting back from a set and a break of serve down against seventh seed Jasmine Paolini in the second round to register her maiden win against a top-10 ranked opponent.[17] Ito lost in the third round to Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro in three sets.[18]
