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


Important

I can guide you not only in Nagano, but also some other areas such as Matsumoto, Takayama, Kanazawa.(Transportation fee for the guide needed.)

Togakushi Snowshoe Hiking Tour

Nagano

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,

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.

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.

Hello! My name is Takeshi. I am a National Licensed Guide Interpreter in English. I was born in Tokyo. I worked for Canon for more than 30 years including a 5-year assignment to the U.S. office. Before joining Canon, I received a master's degree in engineering in the United States. After retiring from the company, I began working as a volunteer guide for foreign visitors in Kamakura and Yokohama for a while. However, I became fascinated by the beautiful nature of Nagano prefecture and decided to move here to the Yatsugatake Mountains, 1000m above sea level in Nagano a few years ago. Since then I go out to look at the breathtaking mountains, lakes, and shrines every day. I would like to guide you to these special sites and also share with you the Japanese culture in my guided tours. I am flexible and can customize the tour based on the customer's request. I am also a Certified Travel Service Administrator. My hobby is Aikido and I hold the 2nd Dan black belt. Hope to see you soon.
