“Hidden gems with the perfect guide”
Nobu was excellent from start to finish. He drove and guided us through a full day — we never could have pulled it off on our own. He’s knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely curious about what his guests are curious about. He handled all logistics and communication with the sites, and adjusted the pace to our group. If you have a niche interest — infrastructure, industrial heritage, off-the-beaten-path Japan — Nobu is exactly the guide you want. One of the highlights of our whole trip. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. It is also my interest to take guests to the places where I firstly guide. There are so many hidden gems in Japan that even I don't know about. I would be very happy if I could explore such places together with my guests. Nobu

“Fantastic, Best Use of Time”
Nobu is awesome! He took us to all of the main and not-so-main spots in the Mt. Fuji area -- places you'd never be able to visit (or even learn about) from a regular bus tour or attempt to visit via train. In a single day, we were able to see everything we wanted and more. It was truly worth it. Plus, Nobu is just really nice and accommodative. We loved our entire day. Thank you, Nobu! When we come back next time, we may visit Nikko and look you up for a day tour there!
Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. There are many fascinating spots around Mount Fuji, but some are difficult to reach by bus tour or public transportation. I would be happy to introduce these hidden, fascinating places to my guests. Thank you again for taking this tour. Nobu

“Fantastic Day ”
We had such a great day. Nobu was an excellent guide - he was knowledgeable and informative. His home town is in the area so he had great stories and anecdotes that made the day special. An absolutely delightful day. Would highly recommend travelling to this magnificent area and using Nobu as a guide. Thank you.
Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. One disappointing thing about this tour was that we were unable to go to Geibikei Gorge, one of our destinations, due to flooding caused by heavy rain the day before. If you have another opportunity to visit Japan, I'll definitely show you around. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Nobu

Customized Day Tour in Tokyo
Since there are too many places to visit in Tokyo, it is not possible to include all the spots in a one-day tour. I will make a customized day tour in Tokyo based on your requests. You can include 3 or 4 places that you would like to visit depending on your interests. A chartered van tour is available for a group up to 8 people.

Three-hour tour to Naritasan Temple from Narita

We visit almost all of the main buildings in Naritasan including, Main Gate, Ni-o-mon Gate, Great Main Hall, Shaka-do Hall, Komyo-do Hall and Great Pagoda of Peace. We can also walk in beautiful Naritasan Park.
