Excursion d'une journée au départ de Nagano et Matsumoto Kamikochi & Château de Matsumoto
Description
Défini par ses montagnes et ses paysages naturels, le centre du Japon est le cœur littéral de ce beau pays et une route moins fréquentée par de nombreux visiteurs internationaux. Cette excursion engageante d'une journée vous emmène au château de Matsumoto - l'un des rares châteaux originaux restants au Japon et un trésor national enregistré - avant de vous diriger vers la grandeur des Alpes du Nord et vers l'oasis alpine protégée de Kamikochi. Dirigée par un guide local et comprenant le déjeuner et le transport direct vers et depuis Kamikochi, cette visite capture l'essence du centre du Japon en combinant deux de ses destinations les plus emblématiques.

Itinéraire
Votre guide vous fera découvrir le parc historique du château tout en vous faisant découvrir son histoire, ses légendes et ses secrets. Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez entrer dans le château lui-même et monter jusqu'au dernier étage de ses six étages ou simplement prendre le temps de vous détendre à l'extérieur.
Promenez-vous dans les rues de Nawate-dori, également connue sous le nom de « Frog Street », qui abrite plus de 50 boutiques, restaurants et cafés, réputés pour vendre tout ce qui concerne les grenouilles.
Situé à 1500 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, au cœur du parc national de Chubu Sangaku, Kamikochi est célèbre pour son état naturel immaculé, ses magnifiques rivières et étangs, ses forêts luxuriantes et ses spectaculaires sommets culminant à plus de 3000 mètres. Votre guide vous mènera le long d'un sentier pédestre doux partant de l'étang Taisho et longeant la rivière Azusa, incroyablement azur, à travers la forêt mixte et jusqu'au célèbre parc Kappabashi (pont Kappa). En prenant environ une heure et demie pour terminer la promenade, vous aurez ensuite une heure et demie supplémentaires pour prendre une collation ou un café ou marcher un peu plus loin le long de la rivière. Situé dans le cadre majestueux du mont Hodataka, Kamikochi ne manque jamais de ravir les clients et est souvent répertorié comme l'une des meilleures expériences du Japon.

This experience was absolutely amazing!! My tour guide was Hiroshi; he was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and mindful throughout the entire experience. The order of tour sites was preplanned however, Hiroshi informed me that he was modifying the order in which we were going to do the tour based on the day-of weather report. As a result, I had the most incredible experience at each site with weather to match. Hiroshi was so kind and his efforts did not go unnoticed. I was actually the only person that signed up for this tour on this date and I felt so safe with him. Hiroshi provided me with incredible recommendations for the free time I was given and for Nagano Prefecture in general. I could not be more grateful for Hiroshi and the way in which this tour was planned. The views were amazing, the transportation was fantastic, and I learned so much about the history of Nagano City and Matsumoto. Thank you, Hiroshi for an incredible day! I highly recommend this tour to all.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We're delighted (but not surprised) to hear that you had such an incredible experience with Hiroshi. He is very passionate about creating memorable experiences for our guests, and we're so pleased that his knowledge, kindness, and thoughtful adjustments to the itinerary helped make the most of the day's grey weather. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Hiroshi as we are sure they will mean a great deal to him. Thank you for choosing Snow Monkey Resorts. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Japan for another adventure in the future!
Kei did an amazing job providing an informative and relaxing tour of Matsumoto castle and Kamikochi national park. She answered all of our many questions, and went out of her way to assist us with a slightly complicated bus ticket purchase since we went to our next destination directly from Kamikochi. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour organized by Snow Monkeys and hopefully our next guide will be just as great as Kei was.
We want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write such a heartfelt review. We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience with Kei. We know that she takes great pride in sharing the history and natural beauty of Matsumoto and Kamikochi, and we're very happy to hear that she was able to answer all your questions and assist with your onward travel arrangements. We made sure to pass your kind words along to Kei! We look forward to welcoming you on another Snow Monkey Resorts tour in the future, should you ever find your way back to Japan. We hope to see you again soon!
I highly recommend this experience! My guide, Kieron, was incredibly knowledgeable, made the tour tons of fun, and handled every detail seamlessly so I could just relax and enjoy the sights. For me, this tour was the perfect combination of culture and nature. Because of the distances between the locations, I never could have completed this itinerary on my own using public transportation.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience! It's especially rewarding to know that you were able to relax and enjoy the day while we took care of the logistics. We always strive to offer our guests not only an engaging tour but a comfortable one. That's why we're also pleased that the itinerary allowed you to visit places that would have been difficult to reach using public transportation. Thank you again for choosing to travel with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future!
2nd point Picked up from Matsumoto station. The first point was Nagano. This, the high fee is due to transport. However, no discount for pick-up at Matsumoto. On the other hand, can sleep longer and return to Matsumoto earlier. Very friendly and helpful guide. He has good local knowledge. Make sure wear suitable shoes for hiking and wear suitable attire for the cool temperature.
Luka is a very considerate and helpful. The service of the company was wonderful. We had a wonderful time.
I'm happy to take a day bus tour of Matsumoto Castle and Kamikochi and charter it for weekdays. If I get another chance, I'd love to attend.
Kieron was great, thanks for the tour
We had a good time on this day trip. Kieron was a great guide and we enjoyed his insights, as well had some nice conversations. Kamikochi was the highlight of the trip, it is such an amazing spot and we had a lot of fun there! I would suggest to make the Matsumoto part of the trip shorter to accommodate a bit longer experience in Kamikochi, as the time spent there felt a bit short. Otherwise, the day trip was a great value for money and we can recommend it!
Our tour from Nagano was the 2 of us joined by another couple, so with our guide Taka it was only 5 of us in a comfortable van. I really appreciate the small sizes of the groups. Matsumoto Castle was beautiful but be prepared for lots of people and climbing up and down steep castle stairs. After time walking around Matsumoto City, bus to Kamakura. Lots of tunnels since it's in the mountains. Beautiful walk in Kamakura with gorgeous views and lots of monkeys to see. We then transferred to a different bus to continue to Takayama with a new guide, Harry. Harry was so friendly and gave many great tips and suggestions for Takayama and for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!
