Nikko has been a well-known center of Shinto and Buddhist mountain worship since Toshogu was built in 1617 and Nikko National Park continues to offer scenic, mountainous landscapes, lakes, waterfalls. However, there are still many unfamiliar places of odd sight in Nikko. One of them is Kanmangafuchi abyss. This trip is to visit not only popular sight-seeing spots but also spot of odd sight. If you follow the Daiya river, you will reach a small gorge called Kanmangafucchi Abyss.

“Amazing Tokyo Tour with Nao. ”
Nao was a fantastic guide. Prior to our your, Nao communicated very well, asking us what we would like to do, offering suggestions and even booking lunch around our interests. He was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. My husband and I were extremely happy with our tour and will definitely book him again when we return to Japan. His English and understanding were fantastic too, even including a golf shop at the end of the day that my husband was interested in! We highly recommended him to anyone who would love a great, well organised tour. Thank you so much again.

“1 day trip to Mt Fuji from Tokyo”
Would definitely recommend Nao to my close friends and family if they visit Tokyo. Spoke English really well. Having seen Mt fuji from Hakone before, I wanted to see Mt Fuji from the Lake Kawaguchi side so he made an itinerary for my family of 4- 2 adults and 2 children(15 & 13). Took all the thinking and stress out of the planning. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. He pre booked all our trains so traveling to and back was very easy.

Dear Vihar san Thank you for your kind comment on my tour. I enjoyed very much travelling with you and your family members to Mt Fuji. I was very lucky to know such a nice guy like you and a bright and refined lady like your wife. I am looking forward to seeing you again somewhere and sometime in the future. Nao

“This truly was our first day on our trip to Japan”
My experience visiting Hakone and Mt. Fuji with Nao was fantastic. From the moment we booked the tour until the end, Nao was incredibly prompt in his communications, providing helpful information well in advance and frequently checking in on us. The tour was extensive, and he guided us patiently throughout the day. Unlike other guides, his fee included all transportation, lunch, and entrance tickets, which we found very reasonable. Nao is a friendly person, and we genuinely enjoyed his company. Having a private guide was a key reason for booking this tour. Haruo was very responsive both before and during our trip, confirming the sites we wanted to see prior to our arrival. On the morning of the tour, we mistakenly confused our start time and Nao-san kindly left his home early to accommodate us. He picked us up at the train station near our accommodation, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nao-san!
