Alps - Tateyama Kurobe & Kamikochi Autumn Foliage Limited 2-Day Tour - Guaranteed transportation tickets and mountain entry guaranteed (Departing from Nagoya)

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! This tour gave us the opportunity to explore a different side of Japan — adventurous, beautiful and away from the usual tourist spots. It was such a wonderful way to reconnect with nature and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience, regardless of age. A special mention to our tour guide, Ms. Yukino, who made the experience even more special. She was very patient and accommodating, helped translate between Chinese and English, checked on each guest individually and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. She was also very thoughtful in helping us take wonderful photos and was always ready to assist whenever needed. The accommodation was lovely too and the Japanese-style dinner and breakfast were the cherry on top of an already amazing experience! Overall, this was such a beautiful and memorable experience, and one we will cherish for a long time. Highly recommended! 🥰

My group of 6pax have enjoyed our 2D1N tour of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, we were especially fortunate to have such an excellent guide in Ms Zhang, 张静娟. Our itinerary was well scheduled and Ms Zhang's detailed explanation of the places that we're visiting is clear and precise. She has also advised us of the nice local food that we should try. The 6 different transportation is an experience as we crossed the Alps and the mountains to reach the snow walls. The highest point of the wall was 11m, unfortunately, it was raining when we reached the snow wall, our photos was alittle blurry and wet but our excitement has compensated for the weather 😂

The two-day tour from Nagoya to Kamikochi and Tateyama Kurobe, though a long journey, was perfectly planned, and our guide, Xiao Bo, was incredibly dedicated and responsible! She meticulously counted everyone at each stop, ensuring no one was left behind, which made us feel very secure. Her explanations were detailed and vivid; she clearly described both the natural beauty of Kamikochi and the transportation transfers at Tateyama Kurobe. She also handled all arrangements promptly. Throughout the entire trip, Xiao Bo was both professional and warm, making this tour a perfect experience! I definitely want to join her tour again if I have the chance.

A very worthwhile trip. The meeting point is specified in the notification email sent the day before. Tour guide Kris managed the time very well, and the two-day itinerary went very smoothly. Although there were many participants, everyone was very punctual. We were extremely lucky to have great weather for both days. Even though the autumn leaves had all fallen, it snowed at Murodo, which was breathtakingly beautiful. Although the hotel food wasn't very good and the hotel was a bit outdated, you really can't complain given the price. It offers great value and I highly recommend it to everyone.

We had an unforgettable two-day trip to Tateyama, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Chris. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly, sharing fascinating insights and making sure we felt completely taken care of throughout the journey. ​A standout highlight was his photography—Chris took the time to capture stunning, professional-quality photos of us against the breathtaking alpine scenery, giving us memories we will cherish forever. His warmth, patience, and genuine passion for what he does truly elevated the entire experience. If you are heading to Tateyama, you could not ask for a better guide than Chris!

the experience was just amazing! the plan was very panctual and a lot of fun. the hotel was much beyond my expectations (including the room, the onsen, the view and the meals). One thing that is important to mention: due to me booking this last minute, there was no English guide which was promised, nevertheless Mei, our guide, did everything she could to help me be included and let me know everything that is relevant, and not only that, but she was so kind and caring as well as professional.

First, I'd like to thank the clear skies we had for the past two days. Next, our tour guide Amy was professional, dedicated, and very helpful. The driver's skills were excellent, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. The accommodation and meal arrangements were very satisfying, and my fellow travelers were all high-quality companions. Thumbs up!

For some reason, I didn't receive any notifications before the trip, which made me quite nervous. Since I was traveling alone, I was really worried about being left behind. However, our tour guide Amy was absolutely wonderful! She spoke Chinese, English, and Japanese fluently, explained everything clearly, and introduced the itinerary in great detail. Because of the limited time, she repeatedly reminded the group to be punctual, which was necessary. At Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, she guided us through all six stages of transfers, making us feel very secure. This entire trip was made 100 times better because of Amy. The only downside was not receiving pre-trip notifications from the platform; I didn't know the guide's name or the license plate number, so I had no idea how to find the group. The single room accommodation that night was also excellent. Although the inn was a bit old, the overall service and food made for a very comfortable stay. I just don't understand where we were staying for the two-day itinerary. Shouldn't the schedule have been known in advance? Why was there constant pressure to shorten the itinerary due to the driver's 11-hour limit? If we could have met at Kamikochi at 4:30 PM, it would have been much more comfortable. And only allowing 5 hours for Kurobe was an impossible task, right? Everyone knows it takes about 6-8 hours. If it weren't for the bad weather closing it, it would have been incredibly rushed.

Tour guide: The person was very good and took good care of the tour members most of the time. She tried her best to help when needed and was very responsible. Accommodation options: The hotel was a bit old, and the room had a smell. I planned to open the window to air it out, but a few bugs flew into the room 😓. As a result, I couldn't sleep well all night. The hotel was clean, just a bit old. Itinerary: The itinerary was very rushed. The page introduction said the stay at Tateyama would be 6 hours, but we took the first mode of transportation at 8:30 AM in Ogizawa, and by 1:15 PM, we had already arrived at Tateyama Murodo. The overall feeling was too rushed, and in the end, we even skipped the Bijodaira station and took the bus directly from Murodo back to Tateyama Station. The weather didn't affect any of the transportation being suspended, so I don't understand why it was so rushed. Even Kamikochi didn't have enough time to see all the attractions. However, this is a limitation of group tours. After gaining experience, I can travel independently. Tateyama Kurobe and Kamikochi are places where you can have different experiences in all four seasons and are very worth visiting again.

10/25/2026 (Sat) Heavy rain departure. Tour guide (Gogoday Xiao Yu) was very professional. Because of the continuous heavy rain over the two days, Xiao Yu clearly explained the worst-case scenario upfront—that we might not see any scenery at all. She also shared some of her personal finds: photos of rock ptarmigans, newly harvested rice, snow lotus, and the tip that the best gear for heavy rain is sandals (which I learned from her). Highly rated: Confirming the tour and driver details in advance by 8:00 PM (very important), since I hadn't booked a hotel for 10/25. Attached are photos of the severe stormy weather; you definitely need to bring an extra-long raincoat/waterproof shoes, as rain in Japan is relentless—now I've experienced it. Tour guide: Xiao Yu (Amy). I had been reading the reviews all through 2025, and finally in 2026 I got to meet the legendary Gogoday Amy as my tour guide. Attractions: Heavy rain, but the scenery in the photos turned out very beautiful; it's just that taking pictures of people looked a bit disheveled and not great. Accommodation choice: Departed only after finishing hotel breakfast. On the return bus ride, there were TV screens along the way explaining the passing sights, and a Japanese lady sitting next to me even pointed out a waterfall I couldn't find. Thank you.
