• 5Very nice walk around...

  Very nice walk around Nagano before heading to sake tasting. There is a good variety of sakes to taste, plus miso.

• 5Great time in Nagano

  Aoi was a wonderful guide and explained the history of the temple in great detail. The same tasting was fun - we tried like 20 different kinds! Great experience :)

• 3Great guide!-But not lived up to description

  Our guide was very nice, fun, & personable! The sake tasting was great. We learned a lot about sake and got to try quite a few. The disappointing part is that the tour description says it included miso tasting & little nibbles. We were not offered that

• 5Book this tour when you are in Nagano!

  Me and my partner had a wonderful tour with Masa-san this morning around Nagano. We saw some lovely sights around town, with in depth questions and answers from Masa-san. We also had a chance to stop off in a traditional oyaki shop, before exploring the stunning Zenjōji temple. The sake tasting after the fact was simply a huge bonus! Learning about the different types of Sake and then tasting them was an insightful experience. Overall it was a great time, with an excellent tour guide, who even dropped us off at his favourite soba restaurant per our request! Thank you Masa-san!

• 5Amazing sake experience

  The guide was amazing. He was born in Nagano but travels a lot and speaks very good English. He told us many things about Nagano and about sake. A 5/5 experience!
