About Tour Guide Nobuo K.
Hi, I'm Nobuo. Please call me "Nob" or "Noby".
I am a national certified English tour guide.
I became a tour guide, after working for a foreign company for over a quarter century.
I am interested in the Edo (the old name of Tokyo) culture. And I also join volunteer groups which are "the Edo-Tokyo Museum" and "the Imperial Palace East Gardens", which used to be the Edo Castle.
You will learn the present Japanese culture, history, the Japanese way of thinking, and a Japanese sense of beauty based on the Edo culture by joying the tour. I am sure that I can provide you with the most impressive tour.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Excellent guide in Tokyo ”
Kono San was an excellent guide for our family for 3 days. He was informative and all the information (whilst not extensive), was precise and given in small bits for us to easily understand. He was incredibly flexible and understanding with our schedule. Loved the photos he took along the way and the interesting sites he added. He was great with our kids and very patient. He is highly efficient and if you have a short time in Tokyo, using him is highly recommended. I suggest you figure out what you want to do and he will make it happen!

“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.

“Excellent and Premium Service ”
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.

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
