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
-
Veronica was a perfect fit for our family. She used our interests to make it a worthwhile tour. She knew a lot about the culture: we visited meiji-jingu, she pointed out shops of our interests (teenagers) and we ate some local food. We had a great time!

Veronica listened closely what we would like to do as a group. Knew a lot about what we visited and gave us good tips for the rest of our stay. She was good fun as well

We enjoyed seeing some sights and eating food of Edo era Tokyo that we would have not seen otherwise.

Veronica was super communicative with us before our tour so she could get a feel for what we wanted to see. We went to the Meiji Jingu shrine, and she suggested that we get a book to collect goshuin, which involves collecting stamps with hand painted calligraphy and stamps unique to each shrine and temple. We then went to Harajuku to take in the sights on Takeshita Street and Cat Town. We ended in Shibuya to see the famous crossing. Getting the goshuincho was a great idea as we are now in Kyoto collecting goshuin throughout the city. Veronica is amazing!
