100 % praktisch von Anfang bis Ende, erleben Sie selbst eine einzigartig authentische japanische Küche! Matsumoto ist berühmt für die Qualität seiner Soba (Nudeln aus Buchweizenmehl) und seine historische feudale Burg! Machen Sie zuerst eine Tour durch die Burg Matsumoto, die aufgrund ihrer gut erhaltenen ursprünglichen Struktur als „Nationalschatz“ Japans bezeichnet wird. Dann probieren Sie dieses traditionelle japanische Gericht und bereiten Sie es sogar selbst zu! Der Soba-Workshop ist eine Gelegenheit, mehr als nur den wörtlichen Biss dieser Tradition zu bekommen. Schlüpfen Sie in die Fußstapfen eines Lehrlings und lernen Sie von einem erfahrenen Soba-Meister! Entdecken Sie alle Grundlagen und lernen Sie, wie Sie authentische Soba-Werkzeuge verwenden. Die Aktivität ist in zwei Phasen unterteilt und von Anfang bis Ende komplett praktisch. Das Beste daran ist, dass Sie am Ende Ihre eigenen Nudeln essen können! Dies ist eine aufregende und bereichernde Erfahrung, die Sie mit Familie und Freunden teilen können, und eine unvergessliche Möglichkeit, einen einzigartigen Aspekt der japanischen Küche zu entdecken!

This was a great experience, Our guide was very informative and we definitely found the benefit in using a guide as we learnt so much more about the castle over visits we have done by ourselves. The soba noodle making was fun and tasty. It was only the two of us in a group for the noodles and 3 during the castle tour so it felt like a private tour.
Thank you for joining us! We appreciate you choosing a guided tour, and we're glad it added context to your castle visit. Fresh soba does taste different when you make it yourself. Hope to welcome you again soon!
This was a great experience. The guide was very knowledgeable on history and grew up in the area. He also gave me recommendations on how to spend the remainder of my time in Matsumoto. It was really helpful in making sure I made the best of my time as a solo traveler. You have to take off your shoes to get into Matsumoto Castle. It can be very cold on your feet depending on the time of year. I would recommend bringing slippers if you have them.
Thank you for your review. We’re pleased to hear the tour provided helpful context and that the local guidance supported the rest of your time in Matsumoto. We also appreciate you sharing the practical tip about the castle visit for future travelers. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Matsumoto.
We had a lovely experience with this tour of Matsumoto castle. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the town and castle. The soba noodle making class was fun and the food after was delicious. Highly recommend.
Thank you for joining us! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the castle tour and soba-making, and that the guide could give you the context that brings Matsumoto's history into focus. We'd love to welcome you back to Matsumoto.
A really good tour, well worth the money. It ended up being a private tour which was a bonus for us. Tom met us at the station and took us to the castle, stopping at interesting places on the way, then took us to the soba experience. As an ex-teacher he was very clear, kept us engaged and gave us informative explanations, sometimes backed by useful visual aids. The castle is amazing, so well preserved . The soba experience was interesting and it led to a simple but tasty lunch. Highly recommended the tour and Tom!
Thank you for your kind review! We're glad the tour worked out as a private experience for you, and that Tom made good use of the walk to the castle. Those stops along the way often add as much context as the destination itself. The soba making is something we value for its simplicity and connection to the region. Turning that into lunch gives the experience a satisfying completeness. Matsumoto Castle well preserved state and seeing it with someone who can explain how and why makes the preservation feel even more impressive. Thank you for exploring with us, and for the recommendation.
The tour of Matsumoto Castle was an amazing way to start my visit to this beautiful city. The guide was knowledgeable and made it a fun adventure. But the best part for me was the soba noodle making experience. I love cooking, food, and food culture so it was perfect for me. And the result was delicious!
Thank you for your kind review! We’re pleased to hear the tour was a great start to your time in Matsumoto. It’s always nice when the combination of history and hands-on culture connects so well. Thank you for joining us, we’re happy the soba turned out tasty too!
It‘s a very fun tour to combine history with a quick cooking class. The handmade soba are so tasty and a huge difference to the store bought ones. Can highly recommend it.
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the mix of history and hands-on experience. Freshly made soba really does make a difference. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again!
Our guide is very likable and a life-long resident, except for six years in Toyko to go to university. The tour of the castle was very interesting and educational, and the wine-making class was just plain fun. We then ate our noodles in the small restaurant below the room where we made them. All a fun, intimate experience.
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the castle tour and had fun during the soba-making experience. It is always a pleasure to share a more local, hands-on side of Matsumoto, and we are happy it felt enjoyable from start to finish. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again someday!
The places were beautiful and the guide who welcomed us informed us about many topics, whether it was the tour or other places of interest not foreseen in the tour.
Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis de voir que la visite et l’expérience ont répondu à vos attentes et sommes toujours heureux de partager un maximum d’informations sur notre ville historique. En espèrent que le reste de votre séjour au Japon fut tout autant satisfaisant !
Tim was excellent. The absolute best guide you can ask for. Tim is knowledgeable not only in the castle history but surrounding area as well. He speaks fluent English and Japanese so he is able to manage the small group size interactions with the locals easily. The castle itself is amazing as was the owner of the soba shop. 5/5 in both metic and freedom units, would do again in a heartbeat. Thank you again for everything Tim.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad to hear that Tim made your tour a memorable one, combining deep knowledge of the castle and the surrounding area with smooth communication and local connections. It is great to know you enjoyed both the historical insights and the soba experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be happy to welcome you back anytime!
