Other Reminders

  • Infants and children will be counted as passengers. If you are traveling with children aged 0-2 (free of charge), please indicate this when placing your order.
  • Pre-departure notification email reminder: The night before your departure, from 19:00-22:00 (Japan time), we will send a pre-departure notification email containing the tour leader's contact information, driver information, a map of the meeting location, and related precautions. Please be sure to check it promptly, and also check your spam folder. During peak travel seasons, there may be a slight delay in sending the email, so please understand. If you receive multiple emails, please refer to the content of the latest one sent.
  • Vehicle models and guides: Private tour vehicles: 7-seater Toyota Alphard (maximum 6 people), 10-seater Hiace (maximum 9 people). Chinese/Japanese speaking drivers, English communication available via software. For group tours, vehicle models cannot be specified; the supplier will allocate vehicles based on the number of participants. For groups under 14 people, the driver will also serve as the tour leader; for groups of 14 or more, a separate tour guide will be arranged.
  • Private tours are charter services, with service hours from 08:00 to 20:00, for a total duration of 10 hours. The driver will wait for 30 minutes free of charge from the scheduled pick-up time. If the guest is late, the delay will be directly deducted from the original total charter hours, with no additional time compensated. If the driver waits at the pick-up location (e.g., hotel/B&B) for more than 30 minutes and cannot contact the guest, the driver will leave the scene and charge the full fee, with no refunds. If, due to lateness, the itinerary cannot be completed within the reserved service time, guests may choose to continue the itinerary and pay an overtime fee, or choose to shorten the play time to fit within the service hours.
  • Chartered car overtime & excess mileage fees: If the service time exceeds 10 hours or the service time is between 20:00 - 22:00, an overtime fee will be charged: 7-seater & 10-seater 5000 JPY/hour, 14-seater (1-12 people group) 8000 JPY/hour, 18-21-seater 10000 JPY/hour. Less than 1 hour will be calculated as 1 hour; if exceeding 300 kilometers, an additional 300 JPY will be charged per kilometer.

This is perfect for children experiencing snow for the first time. The snow play area is not far from the restaurant, and the restaurant's food is above average. The kids didn't want to leave! It's also close to Nagoya city, and the best part is the hot spring experience, which is truly excellent value. You don't need to bring anything; just rent a towel on-site. The bathhouse amenities are very complete and clean, and soaking in the outdoor hot spring while enjoying the snow is incredibly comfortable.
this is one of the highlights of my nagoya trip! weather wasnt the best, it was foggy and even drizzled a bit but we got to see it snowed! couldnt see a thing at the observatory however it was quite an experience. the driver ( ah bu) was amazing, drove us there safely and professionally!
The easiest way to get to Shin-Hotaka is with a convenient shuttle service, and you can also visit the Hida Caves. It's really worth it! 🤩🤩
perfect if you are sick of the city! driver (ah bu) was amazing and told us how to make a better use of our time there!
(date of tour: april 2) we were not able to have a pic of the Northern Alps in the Alpscape due to zero visibility but we were blessed with a snowfall. the snow outside the cafes are still thick though its already spring in the city. worth the money if you want a day trip from Nagoya
The breathtaking snow scenery covering the mountains and valleys, the dedicated driver, and the lovely and friendly Yilin tour guide all contributed to a wonderful experience. Next time, I'll come back in the spring to enjoy the flowers.
Every star is for the driver. The service was excellent, attentive, and thoughtful, making our trip full of wonderful memories.
This group had exactly seven people. The tour guide doubled as the driver and drove a van, which felt great. The seats were also quite comfortable. The return trip had traffic jams, but the tour guide was still very patient. Five-star review!! (Just my preference, but I like people who don't talk too much, and the tour guide I got didn't talk much on the bus, so I could rest well!)
