About Tour Guide Nobu S.

Hi, I am Nobu, a national certified tour guide.

My main areas as a guide are Tokyo and its Suburbs including Nikko, Hakone and Mt. Fuji. I can also guide you in Chiba, Ibaraki and Kanagawa.

Many people arrive at Narita Airport, but directly go to Tokyo or other areas.

However, there are many good places to visit near Narita.

I have been living in Chiba for more than 25 years and know about this area including Narita very well. If you arrive at or leave Narita Airport and have a half or full day in Narita, please contact me! I am willing to guide you in this area.

Another area I would like to guide you is Tohoku District, including my hometown, Iwate.

There are also many good places, but most people do not know about this District.

You can easily visit there in 2 hours by Shinkansen (Bullet Train).

If you have got a JR pass, you do not Need to worry about transportation fee.

If you are interested in this District, please contact me. I can help you to make a plan.

I am looking Forward to Meeting you soon in Japan!

Nobu

Epic Mt. Fiji Tour with Nobu!

We had a lovely time on our Mt. Fuji tour last May 8th. We booked the private tour so it was a chill and relaxing day. Nobu was ready to assist during the booking process, always available and quick to respond. And during the trip he has very informative and personable. Everything went soothly from pick up to drop off. Overall it was a great experience for our whole family. Will definitely book him again on our future trip. Thank you Nobu!

Excellent experience!

Mr Nobu is a wonderful and highly recommended guide! He's very client-oriented and helpful. Everything went so smoothly - from discussing and organizing a private tour to G-Cans to the actual tour. We're very thankful and hope we have a chance to organize something together again!

Nobu S.
