“Amazing Tour and Tour Guide”
Nabo was a wonderful guide and very informative. He was also very considerate of my mother’s accessibility needs. I would highly recommend Nabo and his half day tour.

Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is a very popular temple, receiving the most visitors for the New Year's visit. However, many people just visit the main hall and then leave. As you now know, in addition to the main hall, Shinshoji Temple also has the Shakado Hall, Komyodo Hall, Great Peace Pagoda, and Naritasan Park, which has a beautiful garden. It would be my great pleasure to help many visitors to Japan to visit these wonderful places. Nobu

“A Day Tour to Mt. Fuji Area from Tokyo by a National Licensed Guide with a Minivan”
Our experience with Nobu S was excellent where he provided history and cultural information of all the touring destinations. In addition, he took us to a typical local Japanese restaurant for lunch which was an experience in itself and the food was great where we sampled traditional cuisine together with some sake. Nobu S was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and we are thankful for the excellent experience we had with him during the tour. Thank you Nobu S and all the very best for the future.

“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.
