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.

We had a great day starting in Shibuya and walking up to Harajuki, taking in the sites and shops. We saw cherry blossom in Yoyogi park, ate Sushi in a cool conveyor belt restaurant and went to a Cat cafe. Veronica also helped us get to know how to use the trains. Was great walking around and seeing the City

Due to this being for Sakura, and is a time specific, our guide Veronica who spoke English, had great knowledge of the history of each area, and where to find the best locations for Sakura. Veronica was very engaging, and due to the large crowds she was able to facilitate us to the next location easily. This tour involved walking and train, and we covered many different locations, which gave us a good overview of Tokyo, all the while seeing the beautiful Sakura. The itinerary indicated there was a picnic to be included, this was not delivered. Thank you Veronica for making this tour so memorable with the beauty of Sakura in Tokyo. We would highly recommend this tour!

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!
