Caminata al Monte Usu y visita al Lago Toya

Aidan our guide was most professional, responsible, friendly and so nice to be with. We spent a fantastic day with him and we promised ourselves to meet him again on our next visit to Hokkaido. We sincerely recommend. Yoav & Yori

This was a great day out. Aidan is very friendly and easy to get along with. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. The hike was easy enough that my friend who doesnt hike was happy to come along and enjoyed it but also interesting enough in terms of the path, what you get to see. and a good workout, which I liked. I am a vegan and Aidan also catered for this and made a vegan sandwich with homemade sourdough that was very yummy.

The trip up Mt Usu was a wonderful day spent hiking in nature. We had a sunny day and Aidan our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable on the area and the history of Mt Usu. We had a great experience and will definitely try to return at sometime in the future to perhaps experience a different season of the year. Definitely a must visit

Aidan was really accommodating from the first contact. He managed to tolerate my lack of tech info very well. My trip was done very ad hoc, on a train headed to Sapporo for the day after tomorrow. The trip to hike a volcano was exactly what I was interested in...the unique feature about Nobo tours is that they cater to solo travellers, so you don't have that limitation that most tours have. The tour itself began at 09.00, we drove for about an hour to the trailhead. On the way we discussed Japanese work culture and the the trains in the UK compared to Japan. Aidan also helped me with understanding a few Japanese phrases. The hike to the crater was very shaded walking through a forest that had a hint of jungle about it.. after an hour or so we reached the crater...wonderful views..had lunch.. fantastic sour dough bread and views. Following that we visited the lake and other additional sites relating to the recent volcanic activity. Fantastic day. Absolutely recommend!!

The hike with Aidan was awesome. He led us to wonderful places filled with incredibile nature and landscapes that left us breathless, he taught us the geological history of the area and played great music in the car during the trip. Oh, the sandwich he provided was delicious too. Highly reccomended, even if you're not a professional climber.

This day hike was the highlight of my trip to Hokkaido. As a solo traveler, I had a hard time navigating Hokkaido, and most organized tours that offered hikes required a minimum of two people. Aidan was the ONLY guide I found who accepted a solo traveler, and he didn’t charge additional fees. It was a LOVELY hike that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. He was also flexible with the drop-off point so I could see Hell Valley. Excellent guide, excellent service, and fantastic hike. His wife also makes a delicious sourdough. Thank you, Aidan!

I had a great time hiking my first active volcano in Japan. Aidan was very knowledgeable and it was interesting learning about eruptions. Thank you Aidan!

Extremely helpful, polite, and friendly guide. Knows a lot about the area and beyond. Goes out of his way to make sure that you’re comfortable

joined this tour with my friend and had an amazing time with Aidan. He was very accommodating for us and patient. The hike was very enjoyable and the views were fantastic. Aidan taught us about the volcano's history which made it very interesting. Also, seeing Lake Toya was such a bonus and definitely not to be missed! can't recommend him enough if you are solo, or as a group. Next time I would definitely try his winter tours. Thank you!!
