    How do I request my preferred pick-up point in Nagano City?

     

    Simply select your preferred option on the booking form on our tour page. Please note that if you do not select a pickup option you will be expecting to see you at our main/default meeting point at JR Nagano Station.

     

    I’ve already booked and paid for my tour and now I want to request/change my pickup to 1. Hotel Kokusai 21 Area or 2. the Zenko-ji Temple Area?

     

    No problem at all! Simply contact us and request the change. Please make sure this is done at least 3 days before your tour to avoid any confusion on the day.

     

    Can you pick me up directly from my accommodation (other than Hotel Kokusai 21)?

     

    Unfortunately we cannot offer this service due to the delay it would cause to the tour schedule.

     

    We look forward to welcoming you to Nagano!
