Meet your English-speaking guide at Tokyo Station and begin your journey on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, Japan's high-speed bullet train, bound for Nagano. Upon arrival, you'll travel by private taxi into the tranquil mountain forests of Togakushi, one of Japan's most spiritual and mythologically rich regions.
Begin your cultural walking experience at Chusha Shrine, dedicated to the god of wisdom. From there, take a peaceful forest trail to Kuzuryusha Shrine, which honors the nine-headed dragon deity associated with water and harvest. Then continue on to Okusha Shrine, the most revered of the Togakushi shrines, reached via a stunning path flanked by towering 400-year-old cedar trees and the dramatic Zuishinmon gate.
After this spiritually enriching experience, enjoy lunch at a local soba restaurant—Togakushi's handmade buckwheat noodles are among Japan's most beloved regional dishes. Lunch is self-paid, with restaurant recommendations provided.
Your tour concludes with a return taxi transfer to Nagano Station, where you'll board the Shinkansen back to Tokyo, arriving by late afternoon. This full-day journey is perfect for travelers seeking cultural depth, natural beauty, and a seamless escape from the city.
