My reviews

    Nobu was absolutely amazing! He took us to see more than we ever thought possible. His ability to get us to the next location using the train system was amazing. Also, the process with Viator and City Unscripted was simple and efficient. If you have a layover at Narita, this is the trip for you. Asked for Nobu!

    My brother and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable tour around Mount Fuji. The day was simply fantastic - not least because of our great guide Mister Nobu, who made everything even better with his great personality, humor and extensive knowledge of the region. Our tour began with an exciting exploration of the surroundings of Mount Fuji. Mister Nobu told us interesting stories about the culture, history and importance of the mountain for Japan. It was particularly exciting to discover hidden but impressive places that we would never have found on our own. An absolute highlight was a visit to a traditional onsen. After an eventful day in nature, we were able to relax in the hot springs and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Mister Nobu explained a lot to us about the onsen culture, which made us appreciate the experience even more. The culmination of the day was a shared dinner – and what a dinner it was! We were allowed to prepare a delicious hotpot ourselves by cooking fresh ingredients in a hot pot at the table. It was not only a culinary delight, but also a wonderful opportunity to delve even deeper into Japanese food culture. Mister Nobu made sure we did everything right and gave us valuable tips. Overall, it was a perfect day: a harmonious mix of culture, relaxation and excellent food. Mister Nobu made the day a very special experience with his charming manner. We can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Mount Fuji and its surroundings in a relaxed yet profound way!

    Mein Bruder und ich hatten kürzlich das Vergnügen, eine unvergessliche Tour rund um den Mount Fuji zu erleben. Der Tag war einfach fantastisch – nicht zuletzt wegen unseres großartigen Guides Mister Nobu, der mit seiner tollen Persönlichkeit, seinem Humor und seinem umfassenden Wissen über die Region alles noch besser gemacht hat. Unsere Tour begann mit einer spannenden Erkundung der Umgebung des Mount Fuji. Mister Nobu erzählte uns interessante Geschichten über die Kultur, die Geschichte und die Bedeutung des Berges für Japan. Besonders spannend war es, versteckte, aber beeindruckende Orte zu entdecken, die wir auf eigene Faust niemals gefunden hätten. Ein absolutes Highlight war der Besuch eines traditionellen Onsen. Nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag in der Natur konnten wir uns in den heißen Quellen entspannen und die friedliche Atmosphäre genießen. Mister Nobu erklärte uns viel über die Onsen-Kultur, sodass wir das Erlebnis umso mehr schätzen konnten. Der krönende Abschluss des Tages war ein gemeinsames Abendessen – und was für eines! Wir durften einen köstlichen Hotpot selbst zubereiten, indem wir frische Zutaten in einem heißen Topf am Tisch kochten. Es war nicht nur kulinarisch ein Genuss, sondern auch eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, noch tiefer in die japanische Esskultur einzutauchen. Mister Nobu sorgte dafür, dass wir alles richtig machten und gab uns wertvolle Tipps. Insgesamt war es ein perfekter Tag: eine harmonische Mischung aus Kultur, Entspannung und hervorragendem Essen. Mister Nobu hat den Tag mit seiner charmanten Art zu einem ganz besonderen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir können diese Tour jedem empfehlen, der den Mount Fuji und seine Umgebung auf eine entspannte und dennoch tiefgründige Weise kennenlernen möchte!

    We met with Nobu outside the Shibuya Station for the start of our tour. He had already emailed me so he was familiar with our preferences. Our first stop was a premium sushi restaurant. Everything was delicious. Next we tried a revolving sushi restaurant. We had always been curious about how to order and he explained it perfectly to us. There was a Pokémon Center near the revolving restaurant. Nobu was patient enough to help me shop for my grandkids ☺️. Definitely above and beyond his job description. Lastly he took us to a fabulous market underneath the Shibuya Station. He showed us how to select takeaway sushi. All the food we ate on the tour was delicious but the market was probably our favorite. We went back several times before we left Tokyo!
