“Fantastic Day ”
We had such a great day. Nobu was an excellent guide - he was knowledgeable and informative. His home town is in the area so he had great stories and anecdotes that made the day special. An absolutely delightful day. Would highly recommend travelling to this magnificent area and using Nobu as a guide. Thank you.

Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. One disappointing thing about this tour was that we were unable to go to Geibikei Gorge, one of our destinations, due to flooding caused by heavy rain the day before. If you have another opportunity to visit Japan, I'll definitely show you around. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Nobu
