Things to do in Matsumoto Castle Park

Great tour around the castle with our guide, Kei. He really immersed us in the history and showed us all the strategic spots. The samurai experience that followed was just as amazing!

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

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.

The 1-day bus tour to Kamikochi was comfortable and pleasant. Since I heard it might rain and be cold, I prepared accordingly, but thankfully the weather turned out great, and I couldn't take my eyes off the magnificent scenery the entire time we walked. I spent a happy day walking and taking pictures for three hours. I would like to thank our guide Paul and the driver, who kindly, attentively, and professionally took care of a tour group made up of people from various countries. I hope to see you again next year if the opportunity arises.

Wonderful experience! Fortunate that the sun was out last Oct 05 (Monday). We started our outbound hike from Kappa Bridge to Myojin THEN returned to Kappa Bridge using the other side of the route (alongside the Azusa River). Our guide Iris gave clear instructions & recommendations regarding this activity. We rewarded ourselves with the signature Kamikochi soft ice cream…the BEST so FAR! Thank you to the bus driver and tour guide Iris for ensuring that we have a safe & lovely hiking experience in Kamikochi!
