Shin, our guide was GREAT!

karen_f, Sep 2026
SHIN, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately, due to an injury, we were unable to ride the bikes, but Shin was extremely accommodating and took it upon himself to walk us through the city and provided a lot of interesting information. He also took us to a different place for lunch, Kamomen Matsumoto for duck ramen and it was excellent! Would highly recommend SHIN, he was incredible!

Fantastic experience with Matsumoto Experience

I’ve enjoyed the tranquility in the countryside and some off the beaten path like visiting the historic shrines which are not well known to the foreign tourists. I also enjoy learning the history of the places through the guide.
