“Amazing scenery and fun soba-making experience!”
This is the second part of my two-day tour with Kanami, and Day 2 was just as amazing! We visited a shrine perched on a cliff, and it was pleasant to do some light trekking in the cool winter air, while admiring nature. For lunch, I had the chance to make my own food with a hands-on soba-making experience! It was great fun learning the traditional craft and enjoying the freshest noodles with tempura. Then, we visited a geothermal area with breathtaking views of Mount Asama—a sight that left us in awe. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and Kanami ensured I had the best experience. If you're looking for a guide who combines adventure, culture, and relaxation, look no further!

“Horse trekking and good food!”
My two-day tour with Kanami in Japan was nothing short of magical! From the moment we met, her warm personality and deep knowledge of the region made every experience even more special. Day 1 started with an unforgettable horseback ride through the forest—a peaceful and scenic way to take in nature. Afterwards, we visited a charming café for a delicious treat and good coffee. We ended the day at a lively izakaya, where we enjoyed incredible food, sake, and great conversation. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and Kanami ensured I had the best experience. If you're looking for a guide who combines adventure, culture, and relaxation, look no further!

Togakushi Snowshoe Hiking Tour
The mountains of the north Nagano are covered with deep snow during the winter. The pond freezes, all the shrubs are buried under the snow, and the trees wear beautiful white robes. The sound of footsteps and breathing of ourselves as we step on the snow in silence, and the footprints of rabbits and foxes that remain on the snow surface. In winter, when bushes are covered with snow, you can freely walk around the forest, and you can also get to the forest of giant trees,
