“Enjoyable Day Around Mt Fuji”
Nobu was great! He was very quick to respond and flexible to our groups plans. We ended up extending an hour and doing a sake tour which was enjoyable.

“Lovely time in Lake Kawaguchi/Mt. Fuji”
Nobu-san was a great guide. First thing he asked us when he picked us up was if there were certain places that we’d like to visit around the Mt. Fuji area. He shared fascinating history and stories with us about the places that we went to. Our elder parents were with us on the trip and being a private tour, the pace was just right for them. We all had a lovely time and enjoyed the amazing views of Mt. Fuji! We highly recommend Nobu-san and this day tour :)

“Wonderful Day with Nobu-san”
We started the day being picked up at an out-of-the-way location, which Nobu-san was able to do for us at no extra cost. He drove us all around the Hakone / Lake Kawaguchi area and told us many interesting stories, facts and historical information. I had done some research beforehand for places I wanted to go, and he graciously prioritized those places, whilst also showing us some other fun stuff we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Mt Fuji decided to be shy on our tour day, but that didn't take away from the experience! We had a marvelous time together at the Fall Festival next to Lake Kawaguchi as well, with many laughs. Nobu-san is a personable and friendly man, a great driver, and we so enjoyed our trip with him. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much, and I hope we can do it again sometime! ありがとうございました.
Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed my tour. The Kawaguchiko area has many attractive places, so even if Mt. Fuji is shy and hidden behind clouds, we can still enjoy it. My tour is a private tour using a private vehicle, so I can customize it according to the guest's requests. It is a great pleasure for me to provide attractive tours to many guests. I look forward to seeing you again. Nobu
