A big thank you to Teddy for his exceptional responsibility and strong dedication to keeping the tour group on schedule at every stop. Despite navigating numerous stations and braving the crowds, the sightseeing experience is absolutely worthwhile. Highly recommended for those who are ready to embrace the journey on foot!

I’ve been to Japan many times but this tour was surely the best I’ve experienced. Special credit goes to guide Jens who did everything he could (and more) to make the tour enjoyable. Jens is truly the best! Ample time was given for us to explore Murodo so it was not rushed at all. Scenery was so breathtaking that I cannot help but be tempted to join the same tour again in 2025. Hopefully, Jens can be our guide again.

Great tour guide, Teddy. he arranged all tour time accordingly so that we will not miss any type of transport to see the snow wall. the snow wall only 11 meter height but we enjoy ourselves during the trip.

great service, and lovely tour. the entire process was smooth and comfortable. although it was busy the tour guides were patient and helpful, even with the buggies. (i remember their names but dont know to spell..apologies) they didnt rush anyone and gave plenty of time to look around.

Such a breathtaking scenery of Tateyama – Kurobe Alpine! And one of the rare tours where you get to experience 4 different types of transportation in one place – Tunnel Trolley Bus, Ropeway, Cable Car and Tunnel Electric Bus! Prior to booking this tour, I have read reviews on the crowds and walking paths. However, Lady Luck was with us on the day of our trip. There was lesser crowd than usual and weather was wonderful! It is a pity that, we missed the water dam discharge period, however, the views of the Tateyama mountains and snow wall corridor made up to it! Check out the photos! Days before the trip, the tour organizer, Snow Monkey Resorts have reminded us on matters regarding to the tour, including what to bring and wear. This reminder helped us to travel in a comfortable, safe and enjoyable manner! As the location is a vast area with multiple modes of transportation, being in a systematic guided tour group ease the journey. I am grateful to our English-speaking professional and well-informed local tour guide, Kunihiko-san, who made our trip a fulfilling and memorable one. His sharing of safety tips, life experience and Japanese culture was much appreciated. Thank you, Snow Monkey Resorts and Kunihiko-san!
