You can visit some lovely places near Nagano Station, such as Obuse and Suzaka.


Obuse is a small but pleasant town where Hokusai, the ukiyoe woodblock print artist known for "The Great Wave," lived in his later years. Entering the Museum and eating delicious chestnut sweets will bring back good memories.


Suzaka is famous for its warehouses, which give a good atmosphere and are now used as stores and museums. Garyu Park also provides a beautiful sight in each of the four seasons.

About Tour Guide Keiichi S.

Hello! My name is Keiichi. Please call me Kei.

I was born and raised in Joetsu City, located in the southern part of Niigata prefecture. Joetsu was the former capital city of Echigo Province until the mid 19th century. It has a lot of historic sites and scenic spots, and most of all good people. I love my city very much.

I worked for the Joetsu City office for over thirty years. During my time there, I was in charge of international relations for about ten years. After retiring from the office, I began working as a licensed tour guide. I am very excited to introduce my city to people all over the world.

Reviews

Niigata Experience with Kei

Kei was an excellent guide went out of his way to pickup us up with his personal car at Tsubame Sanjo station and escorted my wife and I at the Craft Fair. If anyone needs a great guide in the Niigata area , I would highly recommend him.

Thank you very much for your appreciation. I also had a wonderful time with you at the Craft Fair. I was impressed by how energetic you both were despite the strong sunlight. I was surprised to hear from you two that there are wild boars and horses in Hawaii. I really want to visit Hawaii someday.
