Matsumoto Castle Park rundturer

En tur man måste se i Nagano-området! Vår guide, Shin, var mycket entusiastisk över att förklara historien om Matsumoto slott och attraktionerna i Kamikochi, vilket fick oss att uppskatta dessa platser ännu mer. Vi hade också turen att uppleva soligt väder under vår tur, vilket gjorde omgivningarna i Kamikochi ännu mer levande.

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.

Vi gillade verkligen den här turen och körsbärsblommorna i Takato var hisnande. Vår guide, Carp Feng, var utmärkt och tålmodig och gjorde resan ännu mer minnesvärd. Vi rekommenderar varmt denna tur till alla under körsbärsblomningssäsongen.

Bra kommunikation, resplanen var intensiv men det fanns tid för både lek, sevärdheter och vila. Tyvärr regnade det under Shibazakura-festivalen, men resplanen anpassades efter vädret och vi besökte fler platser. Höjdpunkten var dock aktiviteterna vid Kurobe Dam och Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, som var utmärkta! Att byta så många transportmedel kändes verkligen bekvämt med en gruppresa, och vi behövde inte vänta länge.

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.

Vi tog rutt 2 och är ganska snabba personer. Jag rekommenderar det inte om du inte hoppar över Myojin Pond-inträdet, då vi tappade GPS-signal och sedan insåg att vi skulle komma till bussen efter den överenskomna tiden, vilket fick oss att springa i 20 minuter för att hinna. Vi tyckte ändå att den bästa utsikten var vid huvudbron Kappa Bridge, men överallt är vackert och vi njöt ändå grundligt av turen. Chauffören stannar kanske 1,5 timme in och på vägen tillbaka för toalettpauser.

Sana-san, was an awesome guide! He coordinated with us way ahead of our booking date, and he was quick to respond to inquiries. We felt safe with him on the wheel because he drove his spacious and comfortable vehicle with care. He was very fun to talk with, but he also respected our need for silence especially when we took naps during the trip. He was also very considerate in making a brief stop each way (to & from) at roadside rest stations so that we can stretch and get snacks. I especially appreciated that Sana personally brought us to the places we visited (he didn't just drive and dropped us off), but he also gave us enough space to explore on our own. He also endorsed us properly (e.g. English tour guide in Matsumoto Castle) before taking his leave at each destination. We hope to do this trip again. When we do, we will definitely arrange for Sana to be our guide again. Thank you so much, Sana-san!
