Hello,
My name is Nobuyuki Usami (call me Sammy), a national licensed guide in English.
I was born and grew up in Ichinomiya, seashore of Chiba, the famous place for surfing and real rural area near Tokyo.
I really like traveling and have visited so many places not only in Japan also in foreign countries. In addition, I like making a plan for trips so I am glad to assist your stay in Japan.
I am familiar with Kanto area including Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Gunma, Tochigi and Ibaraki. Among them especially for the rural area in Chiba my hometown, I can arrange special experiences for you such as a cycling at beautiful rice fields or beachside, surfing experience, cooking sushi or sashimi, special visit to the shrine, etc.
And also, my knowledges of transportations around Tokyo and Disney theme parks are confident parts as well.
I will arrange your trip as much as you want so please feel free to let me know.
I look forward to seeing you soon in Japan!!
If the meeting or drop off point is outside of Tokyo 23 wards, the extra fee is required.
e.g. Narita airport 2,000 JPY, Kamakura 1,500 JPY, Nikko 4,000 JPY
We are active seniors but I have a 11 week old right knee that I had not put a full mile at a time one it yet. I booked this guide with great hopes to be back to 100% with activity. Once we arrived we asked for some plan modifications with intermittent breaks. Nobuyuki (Sammy) did not skip a beat and had a wonderful day in the works for us that included travel to wonderful photo spots, we saw Mt Fuji, took a bullet train, and a mountain bus ride to a beatiful area where we could photograph rivers, bridges and hills. We cruised across a beautiful lake and took gondola up so high your ears popped to see a steaming sulfur hot stream. Lunch was fantastic with lots of easy walking and shopping along the way. I sincerely feel like we got the best tour of Japan we could have had with our short time allotment. To have someone take responsibility for getting a couple of seniors through the beautiful countryside and know that you are in competent hands for the entire duration can’t be short changed. I know we would have spent the day walking around our hotel area, probably not leaving a 2 mile area where with this guide, we felt safe and certain we would have GREAT memories. Thank you, Sammy!
Noboyuki was an amazing tour guide for our day in Tokyo. He showed us so many "must-visit" sites for first-time visitors while also finding time to guide us to places that matched our unique interests. Thanks to his expert guidance, we covered so much more than we would have on our own. His knowledge about navigating the city was impressive, and he shared his knowledge of the city and its sites in a way that was easy to understand and interesting. Noboyuki was also very friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Whether we were visiting busy markets or peaceful temples, he made the experience special and memorable.
Sammy was a great host, taking us around some of the top spots in Tokyo on a whirlwind tour. With his local knowledge he was able to take us directly to some great photo spots we would never have found otherwise. It was really interesting hearing the back story to each location as we travelled and local train transit tips
Thank you for your warm review. I hope you enjoyed your trip in Japan!! I look forward to meeting you and your family someday again! Thank you!!!
Nobuyuki-san was most accomodating to our little whims and dietary requirements. We were able to safely and pleasurable explore various breathtaking sights in Kazusa-Ichinomiya and enjoy local delicacies! A completely stress-free experience :)
Thank you for coming Ichinomiya!! I was really happy to guide you my town! I hope you will have a great trip ahead in Japan as well and look forward to meeting you someday again.
