A nice introduction to Nagano I recommend this tour to anyone who visits Nagano. The tour represents the perfect mix between site seeing and sake + miso tasting. The sake tasting felt a bit rushed, we would have loved to get a bit more information given that the tour's main focus was Sake tasting. Our guide Masa was amazing, we had lovely conversations about Nagano and the sites we visited. The zenkoji temple and surrounding area are the most impressive temple we visited in Japan.

Great relaxing quick tour Very nice tour, not too much walking. Really good tour for a more relaxing day. Guide was super knowledgeable and spoke English very well. He took very good pics with a great camera. Interesting areas and sake tasting. Ended up being a private tour which was very nice!

Great tour with local food and history in quiet Nagano This was a very relaxed tour around Nagano. It was a beautiful area to stroll around and learn the history of the area, as well as try some fine sake, matcha tea, and the local specialty foods.

Wonderful experience in special restaurants with delicious food in great company Masa did an awesome job introducing me to different restaurants and different kinds of food on this tour. The places were very special, the food delicious and we had wonderful conversation. Not only about food, but also about life in Japan in general. Thank you for an amazing evening!

A great way to see Nagano This was my second trip to Nagano, and because of this tour it was honestly the best. Our guide Masa showed us some of the best spots in the city. His local knowledge and ability to adapt to our needs was exceptional. A must if you are visiting this great city! Plus the sake was amazing!

Fabulous tour of Nagano Masa was a wonderful guide. He was so kind - waiting for the other couple to join the tour. He is from Nagano and has great information about the city. He led us to some tasty spots for snacks, and informed us about sake. I was thoroughly impressed with the tour, and the photos he took were a great bonus! Definitely a must-do in Nagano.

A wonderful evening! I had a lovely evening touring the izakayas with Masa. I was his only client that evening, so I had his full attention. The establishments we visited were very authentic and the food was very good. I especially enjoyed the mushroom soba noodles and the pickles, all hand made by the izakaya owner, a woman in her eighties who was simply lovely. Masa is very knowledgeable about his hometown and about all that there is to see around Nagano. I highly recommend this tour.

Memorable food & drink tour The izakaya night food tour was the highlight of my visit in Nagano. I was privileged to have a one on one evening food tour with an amazing tour guide, Masa who took me to three amazing food/drink through town. I was able to experience how the Nagano community gathered and enjoyed conversations and share their daily lives at these restaurants. Masa took the time to explain the types of foods I ate which all were delicious. The walk & conversation I had with Masa at the food tour will forever be a precious memory. I definitely recommend this tour with a fantastic food tour with Masa.
