“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. Arcangelo, Agata, Giancarlo and Domenica

“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 :)
