About Tour Guide Noboru S.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Japan. My name is Noboru. I’m a national licensed guide. I was born in Osaka and spent my university student life in Kyoto. And now I have been in Himeji for over 35 years. These cities are in Kansai aea. So,I'm very much familiar with the sightseeing spots and attractions in the area, especially Himeji and its neighboring cities.

If you are looking for someone to show you around the area, please join my tour. I will show you special local dishes in the area as well.

Looking forward to seeing your smile soon.


Reviews

Excellent visit with a knowledgeable guide

We had an excellent tour with Noboru. He met us at train station and we went from there. He adjusted to my kids (17&25) interests. He gave a detailed explanation of the castle. It was hot and we had a train to catch, so Noboru took on a shortened visit of the gardens and then recommend a restaurant for a quick lunch. Overall he made this brief stopover worthwhile. Highly recommend Noboru.

Great guide!

We booked the four hour tour of Himeji with Noboru, and it was a great decision. Noboru gave us a good understanding of the historical context of the castle and that helped us appreciate the castle so much more. I also let Noboru know that I had some personal interests regarding the castle, and he came prepared with extra information. I’d highly recommend booking with Noboru—you’ll learn a lot and have a great time.

Thank you very much for choosing me as a guide for the Himeji tour. I am so happy to read your wonderful review and to know that you both had a great and memorable time in Himeji! I also had a very wonderful time with both of you. Thank you again for your kind review and I am looking forward to seeing you again next time you come back to Japan!

Aboshi and Tatsuno tour

Noboru-san was a fantastic guide! He arranged our tour of my grandmother’s town of Aboshi, took us around the major sites, and also fit in a tour of Tatsuno castle, samurai residence, and soy sauce museum. I would love to arrange a tour with him again when we return to Himeji one day!
