Wonderful food tour Our guide Masa was wonderful! He took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own and the food was delicious. It was a delightful evening.

Wonderful experience from start to end. Masashi was a wonderful guide to small restaurants we wouldn’t find on our own, and great conversationalist! He is an experienced traveler and knows a lot of good places to go and eat, along with sightsee not just in Nagano but also other parts of Japan. Would definitely go on another tour with him! I was worried that since it was just my group of myself and a friend it might be awkward, but all worries were pushed aside once the experience began.

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.

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!
