“A Day at Nikko with Nao”
We had a wonderful day from beginning to end with Nao. He listened to my wishes and we went to the perfect activities in Nikko and had a fantastic lunch. Nao met us at our hotel and guided us through the day from beginning to end. Highly recommend! Thank you

Hi,Jennifer Thank you for your review and comments. We had a wonderful trip. Nikko Toshogu Shrine was beautiful with its autumn leaves. It was a little cold at Kegon Falls and there was a strong wind, so unfortunately we were unable to explore Lake Chuzenji. For lunch, we enjoyed yuba, a local specialty. We are glad that you were able to create fond memories. Thank you for your cooperation. Naoya Usuda

Nao was very prompt in communicating with us prior to our trip. He planned a great day & even found a vegetarian restaurant where we had a wonderful lunch. He met us at our hotel the morning of our tour & was there right on time. Would not hesitate at all to have Nao tour us around again. Thank you for a great day!

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.
