Whole Experience to Kamikochi
The trip to Kamikochi was truly wonderful, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Traveling from Nagoya took about 3.5 hours, and it was absolutely worth it. Along the way, our tour guide explained the entire itinerary in detail and even shared some great food recommendations that we must try while in Nagoya.

We enjoyed our kamikochi experience. It was cloudy that day but there were times that it would fade away revealing a really beautiful scenery- I highly recommend it esp for nature lovers. Our tour guide Ms Amy was very helpful. Overall our experience was just amazing. thank you Klook 😊

This is the most scenic place I've been. The weather was just nice for a leisurely hike. Temperature hovers around 18 degree celsius in early June and I didn't even break a sweat throughout the 3hrs hike. For those who wants to visit the Myojin shrine from the starting point at Taisho pond, do hasten your pace as there will just be enough time to finish the route back to to the bus terminal, without much time for lunch. For those who just want to take it easy, its recommended to stop at Kappa bridge which takes about 1.5h from starting point. Most of the scenic spots are from Taisho to Kappa bridge. It's the one place that you'll want to visit in every season.

The guide explained things very well and it was also very fun, I highly recommend it. We also did the dark labyrinth under the temple and it was beautiful.

We'd like to sincerely thank our tour guide, Jens, for an exceptional experience. You could tell Jens put a lot of thought into every little detail, especially when planning the tour around the weather. He was patient, engaging, and really intentional with how he guided and took care of us. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience! Our guide truly immersed us in the ancient world of the Matsumoto samurai. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! The experience concluded with a magnificent samurai sword lesson, where we learned the basic moves. An unforgettable morning!

We had such a great time on this guided tour! Our guide was super nice and explained everything we saw along the way - from the old post towns and traditional houses to the forests and mountain views. It really helped us appreciate all the little details and history behind the trail.
The walk itself was beautiful and not too hard, with plenty of chances to stop, take photos, and enjoy the scenery.
Definitely recommend this tour if you want to experience the Nakasendo Trail and learn about its history with a friendly, knowledgeable guide!
