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!

One of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Nobu customized this tour for us based on our questionnaire. He was also flexible with changes as we moved about our day. He was very patient and we never felt rushed, even when we stopped to shop. In fact, he had great recommendations for food and stopping shops. He is very knowledgeable with both the old and modern Tokyo. I would highly recommend Nobu and this tour.
