If you have one free day in Tokyo, why don't you visit Mt. Takao, the three starred destination in the Michelin Green Guide? You can enjoy nature trail walk on the way to the top of the mountain. There is also an ancient Buddhist temple, Yakuo-in. If you feel hungry, you may have traditional soba (buckwheat) noodle with Japanese yam. If you are not confident in your strength, you can use a cable car or a chair lift.

I booked this for my parents who were visiting Tokyo. Nobu was responsive and told me everything I needed to know so I could relay the information to my parents. My parents said he was very knowledgeable about the sites they were at and enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in experiencing Mt Fuji!
We had a long layover at the Narita airport. I found Go With Guide online a month earlier. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I was happy that I did. My daughter and I met Nobu S. at Keisei Norita station. We walked in and around the temple, park and streets. Nobu's english is good. He had good knowledge of the area and also visited some of the shops with us. I recommend this service and Nobu as your guide around Tokyo or Narita.
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. If you had more time, I could take you to several other areas such as Sawara, Sakura or even Tokyo. I am looking forward to meeting you again in the near future. Thank you again for having me as a guide. Nobu
Nobu is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to have as a guide. We had a fantastic first day in Tokyo with him - could only highly recommend.
Thank you for posting your review. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed my tour. Tokyo is a fascinating city, but it's not easy for first-time visitors to get around on their own. I would be happy if I could help such guests. Nobu
Nobu is very kind and helpful for our first day in Tokyo. We can explore, learn culture and history of each area thatvin Tokyo. We feel safe and had fun for our first time in Tokyo. Thank you again Nobu
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to now that I could help you to enjoy the tour in Tokyo. Especially on the first day of the first time visitors to Tokyo, it is recommendable to go around with a local guide. Thank you again for having me as a guide. Nobu
