About Tour Guide Vikki W.
Hello, it's nice to meet you! I'm originally from Australia but have lived in Aomori prefecture for 20 years. Needless to say, I love it here! Let's explore the history and beautiful nature of Aomori together. Depending on the time of year, we can also enjoy seasonal activities such as: Nebuta festival or cherry blossom viewing. And don't forget the local delicacies like: apples, corn and sake. If there's anything in particular you'd like to do, please let me know!
Speaking of food, as a vegetarian, I know that finding food can be difficult in the regional areas of Japan. I can advise you on where and what to eat.
I'm looking forward to showing you around my adopted home.

I’m sorry but I won’t be available for tours in early 2025. I am currently traveling and will update my page as soon as possible. Please note I don’t have regular access to wifi while traveling so it may take time to reply to messages. I will reply though!

“An absolutely wonderful way to spend the day in Aomori”
Whether you're visiting Aomori as a small group or as a solo traveler, do yourself a favor and spend some time with Vikki. It really does feel like meeting up with an old friend! Not only is she engaging and comfortable to be around, she just knows so much about the city and surrounding areas. She gave me great tips on enjoying the San'nai Maruyama Site and a recommendation for a kissaten loved by locals (I went twice)! I also appreciated how easy it was to customize the tour to really hit my personal interests. We visited Showa Daibutsu, Utou Shrine, ASPAM and also had a great feast of a lunch. And she arranged everything. So easy and convenient! Spending the day with Vikki at the beginning of my week-long stay was the highlight of my time in Aomori and I think you would enjoy it as well!

“Views with Vikki”
I found Vikki through the Gowithguide site and had never used them before. She was excellent in many ways....her knowledge of the Jomon period, her patience with me & my requests, her 'bottom-line' answers to questions, her efficiency. Vicki will be recommended by me to my travel consultant in America and others wishing to visit the area in Japan.

“Great time walking around Aomori”
We met up with Vikki on a warm summer day during the Aomori Nebuta festival and spent some time discovering the city, honed our skills at an amazing caligraphy lesson, a tea ceremony, sake tasting and had a casual dinner with Vikki before heading to the Aomori Parade and festival! Highly recommend for folks (couples or families) with only a day in Aomori and who want to know a little more about the area, history and culture.
