Nagano Tours

What to bring: Drinks and snacks, waterproof shoes, waterproof jacket, umbrella, hat, phone cross-body strap, backpack, wet wipes. We went on a small tour with our Alpan guide, just 11 of us. It started at 8:00 AM and ended at 1:30 PM. First, don't go to the snow wall; go to the pond first and walk as far as you can. You can see everything at the snow wall in about 25 minutes round trip. You can see the pond with melted ice, the hot springs in the distance, and if you're lucky, even the mascot bird. The bird poses well, so you can comfortably take photos. Although it was a very quick tour, I'm satisfied. I'm thinking of going again personally during the upcoming winter season. Alpan guides are the best! If you get an Alpan guide, your trip will be much easier.

El viatge va ser super agradable. Es va tirar endavant tot i que només érem 5 al grup. El ritme va ser perfecte tant per als micos de la neu com per als santuaris. La Helen, la nostra guia turística, també va ser molt atenta i amable.

Ens va encantar aquest tour! Va ser divertit, però també fàcil i sense estrès tenir en Dillon com a guia, i transport en autobús a tots els llocs. En Dillon tenia una increïble quantitat de coneixements sobre tot allò relacionat amb els micos de la neu, el sake i el temple Zenkoji. Vam gaudir d'aquesta experiència i és un dels moments més destacats del nostre viatge! Tingueu en compte que la caminada per veure els micos és llarga, però val la pena, i si feu el passatge fosc al temple, us ocuparà una mica del vostre temps lliure que potser preferiríeu utilitzar per explorar botigues i opcions de menjar.

the most beautiful place I have been to in Japan. the beginner/first time visitor trek allotted 1.5hrs is more than enough time to take photos/videos along the ways and reach the Bridge where restaurants are. you can have lunch here. try the apple pie and apple ice cream.

Vam gaudir molt d'aquest tour i la floració dels cirerers a Takato va ser impressionant. El nostre guia, Carp Feng, va ser excel·lent i pacient i va fer el viatge encara més memorable. Recomanem molt aquest tour a tothom durant la temporada de floració dels cirerers.

We had a great time on this tour and are so glad we booked it! If we could give extra stars, we would. Carp was such a great tour guide — so engaging, friendly, and informative. We appreciated how kind and considerate she was with pointing out where the stamps were when she saw we were collecting them + making sure we were on time but also giving us a lot of grace and space to take in everything. There were clear instructions and communication on how to meet, what the schedule was going to be, and they even provided us food at the end of our long day. Moreover, the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route was BEAUTIFUL. We were in awe of everything and truly believe we had such a great time thanks to Carp. She even helped us get into another tour with her last minute for a few days later to Hitachi Seaside Park! The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour was definitely one of the highlights of our Japan trip. Thank you Carp!

Meeting point at Nagano Station very convenient. Our guide very friendly and responsible. At each stop, they ensure every participants are present. Beautiful scenery. We transferred onto different transportation to reach the Alpine. Highly recommended.

Aquest va ser un fantàstic trio de pobles per visitar, especialment a l'hivern. Gokayama és tranquil i d'un altre món! La fabricació de paper washi va ser súper divertida, el nostre guia i conductor van ser constants i fiables, el cotxe era còmode i el paisatge entre els llocs era absolutament impressionant. Definitivament val la pena pagar per experimentar la immensa bellesa d'aquesta regió sense la molèstia de conduir o desplaçar-se per altres mitjans.
