“A GREAT tour to Mount Fuji area”

Dear Nobu, Thank you very much for the wonderful tour with you to the Mount Fuji area! We liked the tour with the MF-highlights and hidden gems very much and all of us were super happy, having you as our local guide, shopping and food expert. Best personal regards from Switzerland, Joel

Dear Joel, Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to know that you and your family enjoyed my tour. The Mount Fuji area has many different facets, so we can enjoy it even if the weather isn't perfect. Thank you again for having me as a guide. Best regards, Nobu

“Magical boat ride and Temple tours”

Nobu was a great guide. He was in contact with us on regular basis leading up to the trip with the outline of the day and meeting point as well as organising a car. He was informative and never rushed us. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary he had set out for us. Highly recommend!

Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. This area is near my hometown and is full of attractive spots, but since it is not widely known, few people visit. I would be glad if more people learned about it and visit.
