We had a wonderful day... - We had a wonderful day visiting the old post town and Matsumoto Castle. Our guide Taketo was very knowledgeable and able to show us Japanese places and culture.

Not worth the money - The castle was awesome! We only went to two stops as opposed to three stops. We went to the ancient wooden city and most of the shops were closed (maybe four stores that were open). The lunch was great, the guide was nice, but just didn’t have a lot of information about the sites we visited. This tour was not worth $500 USD.
