Thank you again for joining o8Experience and for highly recommending us.
The Matsumoto Everything tour is definitely worth taking.
A fantastic tour. All the places to visit were interesting and definitely worth visiting. The pacing was well done. Masa got us into the Matsumoto castle before the crowds. The miso factory included lunch where we got to enjoy traditionally crafted 3 year old miso. Delicious but a rarity. The wasabi farm is the largest in Japan at the foot of the Japanese Alps so the setting was beautiful. The winery grew grapes we’re familiar with in California which I enjoyed more than the Yamanashi varietals (but that’s just me). And ukiyo-e museum was another must see. We missed the Hokusai museum in Obuse so we’re glad to be able to visit this one. Masa was a great guide, very informative and spoke excellent English.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the full Matsumoto experience — from entering Matsumoto Castle before the crowds, to tasting traditionally crafted three-year miso, visiting Daio Wasabi Farm, enjoying the winery, and exploring the ukiyo-e museum.
It was a real pleasure guiding you, and we’re especially glad that the pacing felt comfortable and that each stop was meaningful. Thank you again for joining o8Experience and for sharing such thoughtful feedback.
Awesome day in Matsumoto!
Masa-san and Mr. Imamura were fantastic hosts, interpreters and ambassadors . They were kind, thoughtful, accommodating, and insightful at every point of interest and throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for better or more professional guides. They represent the best of what makes Japan such a special and memorable place to visit: its people.
We wanted to hit all of the highlights of Matsumoto (castle, wasabi farm, miso making) and this tour did all of that and more (wine tasting and wood block print museum). Although we covered a ton of territory, we never felt rushed, perfect timing and pace.
Highly recommend this tour and it’s guide Masa!

We are truly grateful for your kind words about Masa and Mr. Imamura. It means a great deal to hear that you felt well looked after throughout the day, and that the tour was not only enjoyable but also smooth, thoughtful, and well paced.
Matsumoto has so much to offer, so we are especially happy to know that the experience allowed you to enjoy the area’s key highlights—from the castle, wasabi farm, and miso culture to the wine tasting and ukiyo-e museum—without ever feeling rushed.
Your generous comments about the people of Japan are especially meaningful to us. We are honored to have been part of your visit and to have helped make your time here memorable.
Thank you again for choosing o8Experience. We hope to welcome you back to Nagano and Matsumoto someday.
Warm regards,

Full day in Mastumoto
Masa was very accommodating. We brought our luggage with us from Nagano and he was able to get us to Matsumoto station for our next train to Tokyo. The castle was beautiful with sakura in April. Masa was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us plenty of time to explore. The weather was somewhat limiting but we enjoyed a part of Japan that few will experience without local knowledge. Thank you Masa!
