Highly recommended food tour around Nagano! This experience was well worth it! Our guide Masa was an absolute legend, very personable and made for great conversation along with our fellow tour attendees Emily and Chris. We visited some really genuine local Nagano restaurants, ate amazing food at each stop, and had plenty of great conversations. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone, but especially first-timers in Nagano. We finished the night not only with full tummies, but fulfilled with a wonderful vibe experiencing magical Nagano with a top notch local guide. 10/10!![]()

Enjoyable insight of Nagano We had Masa as our guide and he was excellent. He provided a lot of interesting and useful information on Nagano and Japan especially on its food and culture. The Oyaki dumplings and the dorayaki were delicious. The sake tasting was enjoyable. Our visit to Zenkoji temple was really interesting. Masa also sent us some memorable photos which we greatly appreciate.![]()

Obuse - artistic heritage, food and culture The trip to Obuse was wonderful- a great mix of art, culture, history intermingled with an intimate view of life in an authentic Japanese town that has inspired some of Japan’s most famous artists. The sake tasting and delicious lunch were icing on the cake!![]()

Great Nagano Tour! We had a great time with Masa on this tour! It was nice exploring Nagano and Zenkoji Temple before the sake tasting. Masa was very knowledgable and shared local recommendations. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nagano!![]()

Excellent food tour! We did the izakaya food tour with Masa and it’s one of the best things we did on our trip. Masa brought us to some great local izakayas that we wouldn’t have ever found or gone to ourselves.He was super informative; explaining all the different dishes not just from Nagano but all around the country. He was also great to answer questions or queries on Japan and just to have a nice chat. Would definitely recommend!![]()

Great experience! My partner and I did the tour in early November and its was amazing. Masa was our guide and he was great, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we walked and made the experience feel like a friend was showing us around and despite the fact it rained the whole tour we still had a great time! We’re also grateful that we have lots of great photos which he took throughout.The brewery itself was also such a unique experience and I would definitely recommend.![]()

Expectation exceeded What an amazing tour! The guide Musa was very friendly and easygoing. He took us to restaurants that I would never find myself and the food was delicious. The local specialty soba was awesome, but I personally love the yakitori and tsukune better, the combination of the delicious sauce and juicy meat were just perfect. Will definitely book again when I have the chance in future.

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.![]()

Outstanding tour of Togakushi shrines that included lunch which for us was at an over 100 year soba restaurant. We saw four of the main Togakushi shrines, plus another small one. The walks to the shrines varied in difficulty, with the one to Okushi and Kuzuryusha longer and slightly challenging, but the pathway was well-groomed and not difficult. Kagami Ike pond was beautiful, mirroring the fall leaves and distant mountains. The lunch was delicious. Our group was small, just two of us, and our guide, Masa, took great care of us and made adjustments to the tour based on our interests and time. The shrines and scenery were impressive and well worth the visit, Masa provided outstanding explanation of the local area, Shintoism, and many other interesting facts. We learned how to properly bow, clap, and bow at shrines and its significance. The guide’s English was excellent having lived in London for graduate school and work. We also happened to see three wild monkeys and an Asian giant hornet. Masa took beautiful pictures of us throughout the tour that he sent to us the next day. We were very happy with the tour and would like to take another with this company in the future.
