Excellent tour, learned a ton about Japanese history. Samari experience was fantastic and very authentic. Excellent tour
Lots of fun. Our guide did a great job. The castle was incredible and the Samurai experience was so much fun.
Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you taking the time to write it. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour. We’re glad that you had fun at the Samurai Experience. We hope you made some great memories in Matsumoto!
Akiko took us on a walking tour of Matsumoto, explaining various landmarks on the way to the castle. The castle itself was incredible and, as someone who was in the military, had a great appreciation for the tactics used in the building of this castle. The stairs are no joke! As someone who is currently overweight, I found them challenging at times, especially the 40 cm stairs, but still doable. The samurai experience is definitely the main draw! It is easy to lose track of time there. My son and I would have easily stayed all day training. However, Akiko was very aware of our train schedule and she took great care to ensure we not only got back to the station on time but to make sure we were headed for the right line and platform. Akiko was very easy to talk to and I wish we didn’t have to go as quickly as we did. This is a must do!
Thank you very much for the wonderful review! It is great that your guide was able to use the walk to the castle to introduce you to various landmarks in Matsumoto. We are happy to hear that you found the castle so interesting. The stairs can definitely be a challenge, but we’re glad that you managed them. We are very pleased that you and your son enjoyed the Samurai Experience so much and that your guide was really helpful. She will be happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with her. Thank you for the recommendation!
We both really enjoyed this trip immensely. Our knowledgable guide showed us round Matsumoto Castle. The highlight of the trip though was being able to dress up as and practice various sword moves. Highly recommended.
Thank you for joining us! We're glad you enjoyed the castle tour and that the samurai experience was the highlight. Practicing with the sword in full gear makes for a different kind of visit. Hope to welcome you again soon!

We had a great time exploring Matsumoto Castle with Colin. We learned a lot about the city of Matsumoto on the way to the castle also. Colin did a fantastic job delving into the pertinent details and keeping the group interested throughout the castle tour. Afterwards we did the samurai experience and it was a highlight of our trip! The instructor was patient and truly interested in the art and teaching it to others. We would definitely recommend!
