Matsumoto is famous for the quality of its Soba (buckwheat flour noodles) and its historic feudal castle!

First take a tour of Matsumoto Castle designated a “National Treasure” of Japan due to its well-preserved original structure.

Then sample this traditional Japanese dish and even have a go at preparing it yourself!

The soba-making workshop is an opportunity to get more than just the literal bite of this tradition. Step into the shoes of an apprentice and learn from an experienced soba master!

Discover all the basics and learn how to use authentic soba-making tools. The activity is divided into two stages and it’s completely hands-on from start to finish. The best part is you get to eat your own noodles at the end!

This is an exciting and enriching experience you can share with family and friends, and an unforgettable way to discover a unique aspect of Japanese cuisine!
