Defined by its mountains and natural landscapes, Central Japan is the literal heartland of this beautiful country and a road less travelled by many international visitors. This engaging one-day tour takes you to Matsumoto Castle - one of the few remaining original castles in Japan and a registered National Treasure - before heading high into the grandeur of the North Alps and onto the protected alpine oasis of Kamikochi. Led by a locally-based guide and including lunch and direct transport to and from Kamikochi, this tour captures the essence of Central Japan by combining two of its most iconic destinations.

We had a good time on this day trip. Kieron was a great guide and we enjoyed his insights, as well had some nice conversations. Kamikochi was the highlight of the trip, it is such an amazing spot and we had a lot of fun there! I would suggest to make the Matsumoto part of the trip shorter to accommodate a bit longer experience in Kamikochi, as the time spent there felt a bit short. Otherwise, the day trip was a great value for money and we can recommend it!

Our tour from Nagano was the 2 of us joined by another couple, so with our guide Taka it was only 5 of us in a comfortable van. I really appreciate the small sizes of the groups. Matsumoto Castle was beautiful but be prepared for lots of people and climbing up and down steep castle stairs. After time walking around Matsumoto City, bus to Kamakura. Lots of tunnels since it's in the mountains. Beautiful walk in Kamakura with gorgeous views and lots of monkeys to see. We then transferred to a different bus to continue to Takayama with a new guide, Harry. Harry was so friendly and gave many great tips and suggestions for Takayama and for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!

Fantastic day trip to visit Matsumoto and Kamikochi. Our guide was excellent and I was able to join a group that was coming from Nagano. Everyone made it a memorable day and I highly recommend this tour. It was a nice balance of narration and independent time to enjoy the sights.

Besides relating history of the castle, guide Tamio showed us where locals live and shared uniqueness of this spring water town. Day out at Kamikochi was another wonderful experience with insights on the birds and fauna.

A tour that was given by an enthusiastic guide! He had a lot of knowledge of the castle and its history! Kamikochi was breathtakingly beautiful and felt very serene.

Tamio was a fantastic host! Extremely knowledgeable throughout the whole tour and his English is excellent. Matsumoto castle was beautiful, Tamio provided extra insights in relation to the history. Kamikochi hike was an easy 3.5km flat trail, beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

This experience exceeded my expectation. Kamikochi is truly beautiful. From the active volcano, glaciers and snow monkeys. Highly recommended if you have day to explore this area.
