“Best guide”
Naoya and Gowithguide was a discovery upon my research that I started almost a year ago with a dream to see Cherry Blosdoms. As a solo traveller , I was a bit hesistent due to language barriers- but Naoya was divine intervention to make my journey absolutely hassle free and wonderful! Through 9 months of my research and enquiries, Naoya kept responding absolutely on all ( there were many!). I was assured that he would be my perfect guide on this wonderful journey. He was and became my friend, philosopher and guide to accommodate all . Thank you Naoya for making Sakura journey a celebration!

Thank you Anu. We have been preparing together for a long time. It is very difficult for tourists to see the cherry blossoms in Tokyo at the right time. Thanks to you, we were able to have you come to Japan at a very good time this time. We are very happy. We were able to share a very happy time. Thank you for your cooperation. Nao

Absolutely wonderful to start my cherry blossom trip with this quiet but resilient guide Naoya who turned out to be more than a professional guide ( which of course he excels in). Thank you Naoya for your exemplary thoughtfulness and making my Sakura viewing incredible!

Thank you for your kind comment.,Anu. Unfortunately, it rained on the second day of the Tokyo tour. We had to change the plans at short notice, which was difficult, but thanks to your cooperation, we were able to meet your request. Thank you very much. Shopping for souvenirs was fun, too. There were some things I had never seen before, which was very interesting. Nao

Famous for hot springs, natural beauty, and the view across Lake Ashinoko of nearby Mount Fuji, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists looking for a break from Tokyo.
Mt.Fuji & Lake Kawaguchi-ko
Mt.Fuji is not the tallest mountain in Japan, but it symbolizes Japan. It is 3,776m high and an independent peak representing Japan. From Shinjuku, you can take a special train to Mt Fuji. That is a 2-hour journey. Because of the majestic beauty of its ridgeline, it has been alive as a source of various cultures since ancient times. We recommend enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji from the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji, such as Kawaguchiko or Yamanakako. You can enjoy Mt.Fuji without climbing.
