About Tour Guide Kouhei N.
Hello,
I'm Kouhei, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
I'm originally from Tokyo, but since I love outdoor activities and wanted to live in a place surrounded by abundant nature, I moved to here in Nagano in 2015.
I have traveled a lot of places in Japan and eventually decided to live in Nagano.
Nagano prefecture is sometimes described as "a roof of Japan" since most of its part are covered with high mountain range.
Because of that, the area gets lots of snow every winter.
It makes the place's nature and culture different from other areas in Japan.
I am also a Mountain Trekking guide and a Cycling Guide as well as English translator guide..
I want to guide you to super beautiful yet lesser known places!
I am very flexible, so please let me know your requests for the guided tour.
Let's explore the "Hidden Gem" of Japan together :)
(for example) Walking Tour : Matsumoto Castle, Zenkoji Temple, Togakushi Shrine, Obuse Town,etc
Mountain Hiking: Beginners to Intermediates (Northern Alps, Yatsugatake, etc)
Cycling Tours : Beginners to Intermediates (North Nagano Area), E Bikes tour available.
Other Specials :Snow Monkey, Picking Wild Vegetables and Cooking Tempura together,
Night Cherry Blossom Viewing, Visiting Sake Winery, Snow Shoeing in
National Park, etc

“Snowshoe tour”
We had the most amazing day with Kouhei. He is was very good at stopping and sharing knowledge of the forest and the wildlife. It was beautiful and peaceful on the tour and then he looked after us with a break and made hot coffee out in the forest. Sharing his knowledge of the Shinto shrines added a lot to the experience and I would recommend to others that they also enjoy this day.
