“A Full Day at Mt. Fuji and the Surrounding Area”
Nobu did a fantastic job keeping our family of 7 on schedule to see Mt. Fuji, two temples and even Oshino Hakkai all in the same day! He was friendly and helpful as well as an excellent navigator who drove us to all of these wonderful places. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and definitely recommend Nobu!

Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. There are many attractive points in Mt. Fuji area, but not so easy for tourists to visit them due to the poor public transportations. I can offer you a tour using a minivan from Tokyo, which would be more comfortable and flexible for guests. Thank you again for choosing my tour. Best regards, Nobu

“Hidden gems with the perfect guide”
Nobu was excellent from start to finish. He drove and guided us through a full day — we never could have pulled it off on our own. He’s knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely curious about what his guests are curious about. He handled all logistics and communication with the sites, and adjusted the pace to our group. If you have a niche interest — infrastructure, industrial heritage, off-the-beaten-path Japan — Nobu is exactly the guide you want. One of the highlights of our whole trip. Highly recommend.
Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. It is also my interest to take guests to the places where I firstly guide. There are so many hidden gems in Japan that even I don't know about. I would be very happy if I could explore such places together with my guests. Nobu

“Fantastic, Best Use of Time”
Nobu is awesome! He took us to all of the main and not-so-main spots in the Mt. Fuji area -- places you'd never be able to visit (or even learn about) from a regular bus tour or attempt to visit via train. In a single day, we were able to see everything we wanted and more. It was truly worth it. Plus, Nobu is just really nice and accommodative. We loved our entire day. Thank you, Nobu! When we come back next time, we may visit Nikko and look you up for a day tour there!
Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. There are many fascinating spots around Mount Fuji, but some are difficult to reach by bus tour or public transportation. I would be happy to introduce these hidden, fascinating places to my guests. Thank you again for taking this tour. Nobu
