Matsumoto Castle Park tours

A must see tour in Nagano area! Our tour guide, Shin, was very enthusiastic to explain the history of Matsumoto castle and attractions in Kamikochi, which made us to appreciate more these attractions. We were also fortunate to experience a sunny weather during our tour, which made the surroundings in Kamikochi more vivid.

Excellent half-day tour of the Castle and surrunding streets. The guide was great, flexible and knowledgeable.

I was initially a bit anxious as I booked this tour despite its lack of reviews and I’m a solo female traveller. I’m returning to Tokyo now and wanted to share my experience. The long drive is worth it for a great view of Kamikochi if you’re short on time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and found the price very reasonable for a 9-hour round trip. The weather was perfect, enhancing the beautiful scenery. My guide, Cathy, was accommodating and kind, making me feel safe and taken care of. The driver also drove safely. I highly recommend this tour, but be prepared for a long day! There’s plenty of opportunities to nap during the bus ride anyway.

We really enjoyed this tour and the cherry blossom in Takato was breathtaking. Our guide, Carp Feng, was excellent and patient and made the trip even more memorable. We highly recommend this tour to everybody during the cherry blossom season.

Communication was excellent. The itinerary was packed, but we had plenty of time for activities, sightseeing, and rest. It was a shame it rained on the day of the Shibazakura Festival, but the itinerary was adjusted due to the weather, and we ended up visiting more places. The main highlight, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, was fantastic! With so many different modes of transportation, going with a tour group was incredibly convenient, and we didn't have to wait long at all.

A convenient way to visit Kamikochi from Nagoya, no need to worry about public transportation time and crowd. The trip was wonderful and well organized. I'm so impressed with our tour guide, Yukino. She is kind and knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of information about the tour itself and also about where to go and what to do next around Nagoya. She speaks english and mandarin clearly and fluent. She made the trip become more better.

we did route 2 and are pretty quick people. I don't suggest it unless you skip the myojin pond entry as we lost gps signal and then realized we would arrive to the bus past the meet back time causing us to run for 20m in order to make it. we thought the best view was the main kappa bridge anyways, but everywhere is beautiful and still throughly enjoyed the tour. the driver stops maybe 1.5hrs in and on the way back for restroom breaks
