We go to Nasu by motorway and stop at Sesshoseki (Killing stone) and then to Nasu Heisei-no-mori Forest. We walk there around a couple of hours and have lunch.
There is no restaurant in that area so that you should buy your lunch at one of the covenience stores on the way to Nasu. After lunch if the weather permits we go to the ninth station of Chausudake mountain by ropeway. We enjoy spectacular scenery from there. Then dropping off at the visitor center to learn about Nasu. We pass through Nasu Imperial villa and we will drop by some souvenir shops if you like.

“Outstanding Day in Nikko with Jack!”
We had a wonderful experience exploring Nikko with Jack, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! He took care of absolutely everything. His organization, professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. Jack made sure we saw all the important sights and experienced everything that makes Nikko such a special Dey. We never felt rushed or worried about the logistics of the day. He handled everything so smoothly that we were free to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery, remarkable historical sites and the experience of just being there. If you are considering a private guide for Nikko, you could not be in better hands than Jack. We recommend him without hesitation! P.S.-He speaks perfect English. Having lived in New Zealand for more than 20 years, his communication skills are outstanding. Conversation with him was completely natural and effortless, which is another reason to book his services.

“Amazing tour”
Jack was a wonderful guide, very attentive & patient. We had a great day in Nikko, mix of nature & temples. If you want to see all that Nikko has to offer, Jack is the way to go.

Thank you for your nice comment on me. I really like spending time with overseas guests. Nikko offers both nature and culture. Edo Wonderland is another attraction to visit. Please come back to Nikko. Jack

“Enjoyable tour of Mashiko”
Jack picked us up at Utsonimiya and drove us to Mashiko to see the museum and Shoji Hamada’s house and collection. After lunch we visited several ceramics shops. Jack suggested a store that had exactly the kind of work we liked and which I don’t think we would have found otherwise. We had a very enjoyable day and Jack was a knowledgeable and helpful guide.
Jack M.
I had a good time with you, but I must tell you that you spent nearly two hours at the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art, the longest I have ever spent there. The store we visited was one of my favourites. I presume you enjoyed Bizen and Naoshima. Thank you for allowing me to visit Mashiko again. Jack
