Nobu was a well informed and caring guide. He had taken care to see all eventualities were covered, pre-purchased necessary tickets and planned the best way to spend the day, right down to train and bus times. We went to Miyajima Great Torii in the morning where he used his local knowledge to avoid crowds and speed our visit. In the afternoon we went to Hiroshima Peace Park which was a somber experience although I feel a necessary one for everyone. His knowledge and quiet, respectful commentary, added to the experience and set the tone for the afternoon. All-in-all a full, well spent day. Thank you Nobu.

Private tour of Kamakura
This is a fantastic day. Our guide was amazing with this booking. This company was reliable and delivered the best guides for us while in Tokyo. This town is well worth your day tour just outside of downtown. Best temple, small town, beach and street shopping
