Masa is a very kind and entertaining tour guide. On the tour you get to explore some of the main attractions of Nagano, but Masa makes sure to add interesting details and background which makes the experience richer ! He speaks excellent English, and it was a great opportunity for me to clear up some of my questions/confusion on Japanese culture and society. I was doing a day trip to Nagano from Tokyo, and the tour was an excellent way to get to know the city. The sake tasting was also nice, as you get to try different kinds, even beverages that are not sake. All in all I think the tour is very much worth it, and I highly recommend it, especially if you want a more private experience. Once again. Masa is really kind and friendly !
