❑ A Genuine Route Designed by Locals
Step into the mystical world of Togakushi, a place often missed by tourists due to its mountain location.

By private car, you can escape the rigid bus schedules and enjoy a smart, stress-free journey into the sacred cedars.

❑ Togakushi: A Sanctuary of Spirit and Nature
Togakushi offers a profound connection to Japan’s ancient roots through every season.

The Giant Cedar Avenue: Walk the iconic 2km approach to the Upper Shrine, lined with over 200 giant cedars planted 400 years ago. It is a world-class “power spot.”

Legendary Soba: Savour Togakushi Soba, one of Japan’s three most famous styles, served in the traditional “Bocchi-mori” style using pure mountain spring water.

❑ Your Choice of “Plus-Alpha” Experiences
After the spiritual journey in Togakushi, customise your afternoon by choosing one of these highlights.

❑ Capturing Memories for the Whole Family
On many trips, one family member is always behind the camera, missing from the memories. We want everyone to be in the frame together. While we aren’t professionals, we will use our camera to document your genuine smiles in the mystical forest as a gift. Focus on the moment—we’ll handle the photos.

❑ Flexible Pickup: Turn Transit into Touring
We offer door-to-door service within Nagano City and neighbouring towns (Suzaka, Chikuma, Shinano, etc.). Want to start at your Hotel ➔ Sightseeing ➔ Drop-off at the Station? No problem. Leave your luggage in the car and turn your travel time into extra adventure!
