“Great day in Narita!”
We spent a wonderful day with our guide Nobu. We toured the Shinshoji Temple and attached Japanese Gardens, ate a delicious lunch near the Temple, and toured several reconstructed Samurai houses. Nobu spoke excellent English, was extremely knowledgeable, and even dropped us off at the airport. If you need a guide in Narita, we highly recommend Nobu. We would definitely tour with him again.

Nobu S.
Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour in Narita. There are some good places around Narita Airport, but since they are not widely known, they do not attract many visitors. It is my great pleasure to guide guests to such locations. Thank you again, for taking my tour and I am looking forward to meeting you again in the future! Nobu

“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

Masahiro N.
Hallo！Zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro. Mein Nickname ist Masa. Ich war nach meinem Studium in Tokio von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Da ich solch eine Brücke zwischen deutschen Räumen und Japan sein möchte, mache ich diesen Job als Reiseführer. Ich habe das Gefühl,dass das eine Mission meines Lebens ist. Ich habe Erfahrungen meine Kunden zu führen , in Tokio, Kamakura, in der Nähe von Fuji-Berg, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe und Nagasaki….und so weiter… Ich wohne jetzt in der Nähe von Tokio . Deswegen ist es mir einfach, in Tokio und in der Nähe von Tokio zu führen. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente , neue Entdeckungen, Begegnungen, sogar einen Kulturschock! Ich freue mich sehr auf unsere Reise in Japan!

Chiaki K.
Welcome to Japan! My name is Chiaki. I’m a government licensed guide interpreter, a wife and mother of two grown-up children. I’ve been living in Tokyo for 30 years so I know the area well. If you don’t want to miss popular “must see” places, wish to eat a variety of Japanese popular and delicious food, have particular interest in Japanese theatrical arts, architectures, gardens, tea ceremony and “kawaii” characters, or are tired of tourist spots and like to see the real life of people in Japan, I can help you. My goal is to help you to make your stay in Japan as memorable and fulfilling as possible. If I can serve you to make your special trip more special, it will be my pleasure.
