A wonderful day with our guide Endo visiting Matsumoto Castle and the Edo period town of Narai-juku. Absolutely fascinating and a must do if you’re in the Nagano area

Came with my family. Endo (I hope I spelled this correctly) was good. He even took as to a secret viewing spot to see Matsumoto castle from the top. The pace of the tour was great too. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Great one-day trip from Nagano to Matsumoto Castle and Narai-juku. The itinerary was well balanced, combining an iconic historical site with a beautifully preserved post town. Our guide was excellent – very knowledgeable, well organized, and spoke clear, fluent English. Everything ran smoothly and at a relaxed pace. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience traditional Japan in a single day.

i think for us the Narai-juku post town was the highlight of our tour. A cart came by and we ate the traditional sweet potato. A great experience to just stroll down the longest post office street. The Frog Street was ok ( I don't like frogs haha) but there were lots of great little knick knack shops and eating places. The castle was great to walk through and be told about the original history. This tour was great and Enzo was a great guide who kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend both the tour company, the tour and Enzo.

Enzo was amazing with so much knowledge. Whilst being taken through the sites Enzo made it very educational. We can ensure it was not boring as he made the trip interesting and fun. Our favourite bit was the tour through Matsumoto Castle as we learnt about each levels uses, along history of the artefacts. We also had a traditional lunch with the group which was unique and had lovely food. We will definitely use these group again when/if we come back to Japan.

A wonderful trip to "old Japan". Many photo motifs and very interesting insights. Delicious lunch recommended by our very friendly and structured guide. We absolutely loved this wonderful day, even though it rained. A special thank you and Arigato gozaimazu to Endo San our very good tour guide with easy to understand English, who always had everything in view, gave valuable information about travel times, toilets and the like and who above all always offered to photograph us in front of photo hotspots. This trip was worth his money and we recommend it without restriction!
