- Explore Zenko-ji - a National Treasure and one of the oldest and most important Buddhist temples in Japan; enjoy a guided 'sake' tasting experience and a lunch at a high-quality Japanese restaurant; and visit the world-famous snow monkeys of Jigokudani and learn all about what makes them so unique on Day 1
- Visit iconic Matsumoto Castle – a National Treasure and one the last remaining original castles in Japan; Stroll the Nakasendo road in Narai-juku, a well preserved post town; and be driven through the southern reaches of Japan’s stunning Northern Alps enroute to your final destination - Takayama

What to expect
Situated between the popular destinations of Tokyo and Kyoto, the mountainous region of Nagano is the literal heart of Japan and a road less travelled by many international visitors. This tour combines some of the region’s most iconic destinations - including the world-famous Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani, the 1400-year old Zenko-ji Temple, Matsumoto Castle, Narai-juku, and the historic old town of Takayama - with the unforgettable experience of being driven through Japan’s Northern Alps, a place of high mountain peaks and rarefied beauty. With an English-speaking guide on both days, and transport between locations included along with accommodation, this tour captures the history and beauty of central Japan with the convenience and comfort of one easy package.
