Hey there, I'm Nobu, your friendly host in the vibrant city of Tokyo! One thing I adore about Tokyo is its endless variety of activities. From cultural festivals to fun concerts, there's always something exciting happening. It's a city that never sleeps, buzzing with energy day and night. And let's not forget the food! Tokyo's food scene is a feast for the senses, from casual street eats to haute cuisine. As a foodie, I'm here to steer you toward the best bites in town, ensuring your taste buds are in for a treat. With years of experience volunteering at a local shrine, I've delved deep into the customs and rituals that define Tokyo's heritage. Whether it's a traditional festival or a sacred ceremony, I'm eager to share my knowledge and insights with you. Let's make memories together while soaking in the magic of this extraordinary city. See you soon!

My reviews

    Nobu was an excellent local guide and his situation since he lived in the US he has been able to describe his life in Japan having lived on both side of the world - a very personal guide ever so friendly like taking a stroll with a new friend - he went above and beyond my favourite possibly the Kiyosumi gardens and when he took me to the place he grew up and shared some memories of the haunts he used to frequent.
