Discover Matsumoto Castle and Edo-era Narai-juku on a Private Photo Tour

❑ A Special Day in Nagano

Step back into Japan’s Edo period on this private day tour. Begin at Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan’s few original castles, a National Treasure. Continue to Narai-juku, a preserved post town on the Nakasendo Trail, where wooden houses, craft shops, and tea stalls line the streets, giving a glimpse of living heritage.

❑ Why Private?

Visiting by public transport means transfers, waits, and little flexibility. With private car and guide, travel is smooth and flexible. Spend more time at the castle, wander Narai-juku’s alleys, or enjoy a tea break—your day adapts to your interests. Lunch at a local spot offers authentic flavors away from crowds.

❑ A Personalized Journey

This is more than famous sights. Each tour reflects your pace, whether history, photography, or food is your focus. Moments are captured with a camera and gifted afterward as memories.
