Meet your personal Japan travel guide
Hi, I’m Venese!
Hi! I’m Venese, the founder of Flip Japan Guide. Having lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, I have travelled all over the country and worked in the travel industry for 5 years. Beside all the major tourist attractions, I’m obsessed with finding hidden gems and hole-in-the-wall spots around town. It is my mission to shine the spotlight on local neighbourhoods and showcase the history of culture of these places.
In 2018, I collaborated with different brands and spent the year visiting over 300+ restaurants, bars and clubs. Having worked with all kinds of local tourism boards, having devoted my time and energy creating Flip Japan Guide, through talking to local business owners and spending time soaking in the culture, I’m proud to show you the ins and outs of Japan.
