Points forts

Step into a true samurai town—and finish with seasonal fruit picking—on this relaxed small-group day tour from Nagano. Your day centers on Matsushiro Samurai Town, one of Nagano’s best-preserved former castle districts. Walk through calm Edo-period streets and explore key sites tied to the legendary Sanada clan, including the castle ruins, the Sanada Treasure Museum, a samurai residence, and the Bunbu School where warriors trained in both studies and martial discipline. With an English-speaking guide, Matsushiro’s history comes alive. Then head to the countryside for seasonal fruit picking in Chikuma (included)—a fun local highlight that changes with the time of year. Along the way, stop at Oyaki Farm Matsushiro for terrace views and factory viewing; freshly made oyaki are available to purchase (optional). This tour is smooth and well-paced, returning to Nagano Station by mid-afternoon—ideal if you want a full experience without a late finish.
