Reviews
“3 tours in Tokyo and environs”
We had 3 different tours with Nobuo - 1 at the Edo Royal Palace in Tokyo, 1 was a gereral tour of all of Tokyo and one was a trip to the country to see Mt. Fuji. Nobuo san educated us in the Japanese culture. After telling him our likes, he developed a customized tour schedule seeing the sites that were most important to us. He was very respectful and polite. He was also flexible as sometimes weather and traffic changes your plans. We wanted to see the tourist attractions but he also took us to places where we met the locals and had meals with the Japanese people. We saw things that we would have never seen if not for him. He also knew about timing so that we could accomplish everything in a fairly relaxed way and not rush.

Fantastic arrangements by Nobuo made our progress in Tokyo without any problems whatever. Would heartily recommend his services to anyone. He was very helpful in getting us everything that we needed to do on arrival at Narita and guided us to the appropriate trains. Without him we would have been completely lost. We are very grateful for his sublime services. We would heartily recommend his services to anyone.
