Coses per fer a Nagano

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.

Val la pena l'esforç per veure els micos de la neu (macacos japonesos) al Parc dels Micos de Jihokudani, Nagano. Aquests macacos (banyant-se feliçment en onsen de vapor) no els importa la presència d'humans al seu voltant. Però estigueu preparats per caminar pel sender ascendent sense asfaltar (aproximadament d'1,2 km a 1,5 km, només anada). A més, la visita al Santuari de Tokagushi ens dóna una sensació de serenitat amb cedres molt alts/antics que voregen ambdós costats del sender.

This is a great way to see Nagano and the snow monkeys. The tour is often self directed as you get brought to a place, told a little about the history and architecture, and get the rest of the time to wander. My tour guide seemed a little nervous but he did a great job. Definitely worth my money.

Un recorregut molt agradable amb un guia expert i extremadament entusiasta. Ens va encantar la passejada per Kamikochi malgrat la tempesta!

Tour absolutely worth visiting, the time is limited and not enough to visid everything unless you walk very fast without breaks... But the place is stunning even on a basik route. Guide Han spoke really good English and explained all important information and gave useful recommendations.

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!

Un tour imprescindible a la zona de Nagano! El nostre guia turístic, Shin, va ser molt entusiasta explicant la història del castell de Matsumoto i les atraccions de Kamikochi, cosa que ens va fer apreciar més aquests llocs. També vam tenir la sort de gaudir d'un temps assolellat durant el nostre tour, la qual cosa va fer que els voltants de Kamikochi fossin més vius.

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.

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.
