“Highlight of Our Trip”
Our day tour of Mt Fuji with Nao was the highlight of our trip to Japan. Nao couldn't have planned a better trip, and his communication, both leading up to and during the trip, was excellent.

Dear Jesse Thank you very much for your encouraging comment on my tour. It was a regret that Mt Fuji was covered with cloud on Jun 27. I visited Mt Fuji twice after travelling with you, but Mt Fuji was cloud capped mountain, not snow capped one. Nao

“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.

Dear Kylie san Thank you for your encouraging comment on my tour. I enjoyed travelling with you in Tokyo very much. You are very bright and refined lady. Tokyo is crowded at many places, which is not pleasant to your husband, but I was very pleased to see his smile on his face at golf shop. Please give my best regards to him. I hope you will return to Japan in the future. Nao

“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.

The mountain attracts many climbers during summer, while in winter its snow-covered top and slope gleam pure white in the sun.
