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.
