“A wonderful day in Nikko with Nobu!”

We had a great day exploring Nikko with Nobu! He was very friendly and polite, and explained a lot about the temples and shrines we visited. It was also really convenient that he picked us up from our hotel and brought us back afterwards, so we could just relax and enjoy the day. The highlight of the day was something very personal. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend during our trip to Japan, and Nobu helped me find a beautiful spot for it in Nikko near the lake. We’re so grateful for his help, as it made an already special day even more memorable. We really enjoyed spending the day with Nobu and would definitely recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Nikko. Thanks again, Nobu!

Nobu S.

Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. It was also a great joy for me to be a "witness" to your proposal. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness! Thank youagain for taking my tour. Nobu
