Hello! My name is Veronica and I'm an American living and working in Japan. I've loved Japanese culture and history since high school and one of the things I love to do is share it with other people. I'll find places you are interested in and teach you interesting facts about those places. I love to use my experience and skills to help those around me. I hope we can have an amazing time.

My reviews

My tour with Veronica was wonderful. She walked me to so many wonderful sights, showed me how to take the trains around town and where to buy goodies to take home. She was full of information. Not only did she educate me on the proper way to enter and leave a shrine but she explained why. It was 4 hours worth every minute! Highly recommend her as a guide!

Veronica was great! She was very knowledgeable and tailored our tour to our interests. Her passion for Japanese culture shines through her tour. We did the tour on New Years Day when a lot of stores are closed but Veronica showed us bustling areas and great restaurants. She recommended tons of options for later in our trip as well. We’re grateful we had someone like her to introduce us to Tokyo so we could the most of our trip. Highly recommend!
