From Nagano Matsumoto Castle and Kamikochi Private Tour

Discover the highlights of the Japanese Alps on a private day trip from Nagano. Visit the historic Matsumoto Castle, explore the charming Nawate Shopping District, and continue into the breathtaking alpine landscapes of Kamikochi. Enjoy a scenic walk from Taisho Pond along the crystal-clear Azusa River, through peaceful forests to the iconic Kappa Bridge, with spectacular views of the Hotaka Mountains. Take time to relax, enjoy a coffee or snack, capture photos, or explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Combining history, local culture, and stunning mountain scenery, this experience offers a memorable way to discover the beauty of central Japan. Note: Kamikochi is closed from mid-November to mid-April. During this period, we can take you to explore the charming historic town of Narai Juku instead.
