  • Sawara is one of my most favorite places!
  • Mejiro Garden. It is located in the center of Tokyo, just walking distance from Mejiro Station or Ikebukuro Station.
  • I feel very happy when my customers smile with joy! (^-^)
  • If the weather is fine, why don't you take a river cruise on Sumidagawa River?
  • Oishi Park is one of the best Mt. Fuji viewing spots. You can enjoy beautiful Mt. Fuji in each season. I love Mt. Fuji in winter.
  • Early in April is the best timing to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo. Why don't you plan to visit Japan in this season?
  • Tomioka Hachinangu Shrine is one of my favorite places. It is located in Fukagawa, an old downtown in Eastern Tokyo.

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
