❑ A Genuine Route Designed by Locals
Step into the pristine wilderness of Shiga Kogen, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve often overlooked by typical tour buses. We’ve designed a seamless itinerary that combines a mystical emerald lake with Nagano’s hidden cultural highlights. By private car, you can bypass the crowds, escape the heat, and enjoy a smart, stress-free journey into the deep green.
❑ Onuma Pond: A Sanctuary of Serenity and Color
Onuma Pond offers a profound connection to nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The Emerald Mystery: Hike through ancient forests to reach a shimmering lake known for its surreal turquoise-blue water.
A High-Altitude Escape: Situated in a UNESCO park, it’s the perfect cool retreat in summer and a vivid tapestry of red and gold during the autumn foliage season.
Wildlife Encounters: Keep an eye out for playful macaques, elusive stoats, or the “forest spirit” Japanese serow.
❑ Your Choice of “Plus-Alpha” Experiences
After the tranquil hike at Onuma Pond, customize your afternoon by choosing one of these highlights.
・Pair with Obuse Town (Art & Flavor)
A refined town of art and gastronomy. Stroll along the “Chestnut Wood Paths,” visit historic Sake & Miso breweries, and explore the legendary art of Hokusai. You can also indulge in world-class chestnut sweets, from premium Mont Blanc to traditional delicacies.
・Pair with Takayama Village (Waterfalls, Wineries & Secret Onsen)
Visit one of “Japan's Most Beautiful Villages.” Walk behind the thundering curtain of Kaminari-daki Falls and savor world-class mountain wines. Whether you prefer strolling through nostalgic streets or soaking in a “secret” hot spring, the choice is yours.
・Pair with Shiga-Kusatsu Drive (Sky Drive)
Ascend Japan’s highest national scenic road to 2,172 meters. Experience dramatic volcanic landscapes and 360-degree views from the “Roof of Japan.” Open your windows and breathe in the crisp, alpine air.
・Pair with Shibu Onsen (Ghibli-inspired Town)
Step into a nostalgic hot spring town where cobblestone alleys and lantern-lit paths evoke the charm of a Studio Ghibli film.
❑ 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 emerald 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 neighboring towns (Yamanouchi, Obuse, 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!
