Excellent experience in Hakuba with science view in autumn. You just need to show your Klook voucher to ticket counter to redeem your physical day pass and get into the gondola for your trip.

The tour guide was competent and attentive. The accommodation was satisfactory, and the dinner and breakfast were plentiful. The apples were delicious. The scenery in Kamikochi and Tateyama Kurobe was very beautiful.

Good guide by Xiao Xi who speaks Japanese, Chinese and English. communicates updates, meeting schedule and recommendations by WhatsApp chat group. when there's no data available, he will also update verbally. 1 night star at hotel green plaza hakuba which is great . kamikochi recommended route which is easy as started the walk early and ending at Kappa bashing bridge. those wanting to walk further to moyjin first pond will need to pack lunch earlier as to avoid lunch crowd at Kamikochi (otherwise the lunch crowd doesn't allow enough time to go to moyjin and back). Kurobe dam and Tateyama: good recommendations to buy and pack some lunch as limited time for lunch. started early snowing so could have brought along some slip on shoe grips as it can be icy at Fujinooritate.

Our tour guide, Kuo, was very enthusiastic and informative. We were lucky to have clear, sunny weather at Tateyama Kurobe, making for beautiful photos. The mountain roads were a bit tiring and took up a lot of time, and unfortunately, some of the stops were too short. However, each mode of transportation was perfectly timed, with no wasted time at all!

Splendid and well worth package trip to Kamikochi + Tateyama! Our Guide (Kaku) was very friendly, outgoing and well versed with 3 languages ! The hotel stay was also awesome with great food, onsen and accomodation! Totally bang for the buck! Go for this 2D1N fuss free package saving you the hassle to do the planning and booking!

Just show this page to ride the free shuttle bus from the Hakuba Bus Terminal to Hakuba Resort. Once you arrive, simply redeem your physical ticket at the ticket booth to ride the gondola, very convenient.

Definitely worth visiting. The tour guide will help arrange all bus and cable car tickets in between trips. If you're driving, the total driving time for the entire trip is about ten hours. It also includes one night's accommodation with buffet breakfast and dinner. The scenery is also very beautiful, and it's already worth the ticket price.
