❑ A Special Day in Nagano
Enjoy a private journey through two of Nagano’s most spiritual and cultural highlights. Begin with a forest walk along Togakushi’s majestic cedar avenue, visiting shrines tied to mountain worship and ninja legends. For lunch, taste handmade soba in its birthplace, guided to local favorites away from tourist crowds. In the afternoon, enjoy a sake tasting at a historic brewery before concluding your day at Zenkoji, one of Japan’s oldest and most sacred temples, explored at a relaxed pace.
❑ Why Private?
Because it’s private, your tour can be flexibly tailored to your pace and interests. Public transport to Togakushi is limited and time-consuming, and tourist restaurants are often crowded. With your own private car and English-speaking guide, travel and dining are smooth, authentic, and stress-free.
❑ A Personalized Journey
Our tours go beyond simply visiting famous sites. With thoughtful planning, we avoid crowded places and curate local experiences that only insiders can share. Special moments from your journey are captured with a dedicated camera, and photos are gifted to you after the tour as lasting memories.
