Most tours follow a fixed itinerary. Tiny Tours Japan is different.

Hello, my name is Edwin. I'm a Canadian who has called Nagano home for nearly 20 years. Together with my partner Mayumi, we personally guide many of our tours and love sharing both the famous highlights and hidden corners of the region with our guests. 

Whether you'd like to visit famous destinations such as Kamikochi, Matsumoto Castle, Hakuba, and local wineries, or explore hidden shrines, waterfalls, and quiet mountain villages, every tour is customized to your interests.
