Our Story

In 2020 o8Experience has just started food walking tour in Nagano. We think that creating walking tour is a good start to let people know about Nagano much better. There are so many great places, such as Hakuba, Snow Monkey, Matumoto castle, Nozawa, Karuizawa, Kamikochi, Kurobe, etc., etc in Nagano. However, there are also great foods and culture in local residents, which tourists don't know yet. So by joining our tour, you will discover Nagano as well as local Japanese culture. Explore Nagano foods and learn culture with o8Experience. Try Soba, Oyaki, Izakaya and other specialities in Nagano. Book your Nagano Tour today !!!
