I highly recommend this trip with Nobu. I was able to choose my trails and stops along the way. He explained the different places and things on the trails. He also took some photos for me. I had an interesting and fun hike!
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. Mt. Takao is an hour distance from Shinjuku and we can easily enjoy various hiking course. I would like many people to enjoy hiking in Mt. Takao. Nobu
Booking a tour far in advance to Mount Fuji is a hit or miss, as the viewing times are a toss up and it is hard to tell when you will be able to see it. Unfortunately, the day my mother and I went it was pouring rain, and Mount Fuji was hiding. This doesn't change the fact that Nobu was a good guide and got us around efficiently. We had a good lunch and enjoyed our conversations with Nobu. The day may have not went exactly how we planned, but our guide still made a memorable day for us.
Thank you very much for your review. It was a pity that I could not show you and your mother the beautiful Mt. Fuji, but I am glad to know that you still enjoyed the tour. As I told you, it is a message from Mt. Fuji to come to Japan again to see her. I am looking forward to meeting you and your mother again in the future. Nobu
Nobu was great. Met us outside immigration for a tour of the temple in Narita dinner and a stroll around town. Thankyou.
Thank you very much for spending your time with me in Narita. Shinshoji Temple is one of the leading and the most popular temples in Japan. It is my pleasure if you enjoyed the tour. Looking forward to meeting you again hopefully not in mid-summer. Nobu
Nobu was wonderful. He accepted our last minute booking and met us at our hotel at 10am. A lot of things where closed, but Nobu had a great iteneriary for us. He spoke great english and did a great job of explaining the local culture and history.
Thank you very much for your review, Nathan. I am pleased to know that you enjoyed your first day in Tokyo. Since there are many other attractive things in Tokyo, please visit those places during your stay. Thank you again for spending your time with me. Hoping to meet you again for next time! Nobu
