Great layover in Nagano My husband and I went on the sake tour in April. It was the perfect tour for a brief stop in Nagano. We toured a sake facility, tasted delicious sake, and learned a lot about the local city. Highly recommend.![]()

A walk amongst the ancient trees… Stunningly beautiful location. The guide was fantastic, he has family connection to the area and can ground you in a sense of place and history. His knowledge about the shrines and Shintoism was wonderful. The lunch at a local restaurant was super tasty too. Highly recommend the walk and the guide. Only suggestion is if you go in early spring the walk can be quite icy, so shoes with good traction is a must.![]()

A day to remember We had a beautiful evening with an introduction to Japanese culinary culture. In addition to the delicious food, we also had the opportunity to taste some of the drinks specific to Japan. The group was small, which allowed us to have a much more open communication and also created a pleasant atmosphere, and the guide's answers to our questions made us understand Japanese culture better. Thank you once again for the beautiful evening.![]()

Eat like a local Great way to visit restaurants you wouldn’t otherwise know about, and try a variety of local food. Reasonable cost considering the amount of food and some drinks included. Tour guide friendly and informative![]()

A great walk - and talk! - around Nagano city Right off the bat I knew this was gonna be good. Masa is not only very knowledgable but also a very warm and welcoming human being (with a good sense of humour) and for me, it's very important to have a good connection. Especially since this was essentially a solo tour. The time flew by like it was nothing. I highly recommend this tour if you plan in exploring Zenkoji temple. Also, you really need to taste oyaki dumplings, they are renown in the region and rightly so. If I ever go back to Nagano (and I will), I will go on one if Masa's tours again.![]()

Amazing Food Experience in Nagano A very personalised tour led by Masa who gave us many insights to the culture and food of Nagano. He took us to local food places that we would have missed and the variety of food was delicious. Highly recommend this tour!![]()

A MUST JOIN TOUR This is a must join tour among the numerous tours available in Nagano Japan. The walk is long, but what awaits at the end is priceless! Please be warned to be fit to walk.![]()

Great experience with a local We did the tour with Masa as our guide and had a great experience! He showed us some great local places you normally wouldn’t visit as a tourist and were generally nice to chat with. Strongly recommend!

Highly recommend tour with expert local guide My wife and daughter booked The Sake tasting tour in Nagano thru Viator and enjoyed every part of the tour. We met Masa, our guide, at the Nagano station and begin walking toward the Zenkoji temple (which is part of the tour). Masa, who is a native person from Nagano but spent several years living in UK (which is why his English was perfect), explain to us the in and out of the Zenkoji temple which only local knows. We spent about 1 hour at the temple before we headed out to the Sake Brewery (Yoshinoya Brewery). At the brewery, we tasted all kinds of Sake and the ingredients that affect the taste. How the rice is polish, the yeast, etc. We tried at least 10 small cup of sake ranging from the most basic up to the top shelf, even a non-alcoholic Sake which is very interesting (taste exactly like the real thing). During this time, Masa explain to us all the procedure and highlight. All and all we are very happy with the Sake Walking Tour and top it is Masa's easy going and knowledgable insight of the subject. Very highly recommeded and if possible ask for Masa to be the guide![]()

We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon exploring Nagano with Masa! It was really great to see the city through the eyes of a local. Masa provided us with lots of interesting facts throughout the tour about the tenple and the Nagano area. We really enjoyed sampling the local cuisine that Masa organized for us. It was also great to get photos of the tour sent to us afterwards as a lovely keepsake. This was an excellent tour and we would highly recommend it!![]()

An Unforgettable Cultural and Culinary Journey in Nagano with Masa We had an absolutely amazing time on the food and cultural tour in Nagano led by Masa. Masa’s warmth, friendliness, and deep knowledge truly enhanced our experience. He guided our group of five through the city’s rich history and culture, sharing fascinating insights about Nagano, its iconic temple, and the unique culinary traditions of the area. Masa took us to some incredible local spots where we indulged in delicious food and sake tastings that captured the essence of Nagano’s culture. Each stop was thoughtfully selected and gave us a deeper appreciation of the region's heritage and flavors. His engaging storytelling and approachable demeanor made the experience both educational and enjoyable. If you’re looking to explore Nagano and connect with its culture in an authentic and fun way, I can’t recommend Masa’s tour enough!![]()

Masa was an excellent tour guide, and very accommodating when I mistakenly thought the tour started an hour later than it actually did. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I’d highly recommend this tour!![]()

We had a great time! Masa was super knowledgeable about both the temple we went to, other local history and happenings, and sake. We got to ask all the questions we wanted, had plenty of sake to taste (way better than sake in the US), and Masa took some fun photos for us! My pal and I are both guides, and frequently hesitate to take tours since we feel like we can do a lot all on our own, but this tour was absolutely worth it! We would not have gotten an experience like this on our own. You're in great hands here!![]()

Masa is an amazing guide, we had a really good conversation, and I was lucky enough to be the only guest for this tour. He took the time to explain everything to me, and the sake was amazing, The miso is also incredible, I’m so sad my suitcase was fully packed other uses I would have bought everything. Thank you again for the experience, and the photos. I had a blast.![]()

The tour was amazing; Masa was very warm and friendly and did a great job guiding us around Matsumoto castle, nawate shopping street and nakamachi shopping street. The sake tour was great fun and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone else in the area.
