Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route (including Tateyama Kurobe transportation ticket) & Kamikochi 2-Day Tour

For those hesitant due to inconvenient transportation, this tour is highly recommended as it's incredibly convenient. The itinerary includes transportation from Nagoya to Kamikochi, one night's accommodation, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route ticket (Ogizawa-Tateyama), and return transportation from Tateyama to Nagoya. There's ample time allocated for hiking in Kamikochi; we chose an 8-kilometer hike and had plenty of time for lunch! Dinner is included with the overnight stay, and there's a large public hot spring bath to wash away the day's fatigue. On the second day, we also got to see the Snow Wall at the Snow Corridor, which was the highlight of Tateyama Kurobe! Our guide, Abu, was a man of few words, but everything he said was important and helpful advice. His service was excellent, and he drove very safely. Overall, the tour experience was fantastic.

Joined July9-10, 2026. Definetely a must see in Japan. Kind of pricey compared to other usual day trips in Japan but honestly it was worth it. It was a 2-day tour covered the basic hike in Kamikochi. Do it if you can walk for 2hours straight. Spent the night at a ryokan-style hotel with buffer dinner and breakfast. We had unlimited snow crabs for dinner which was amazing. 2nd day was well spent in Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Less hike compared to Kamikochi since you'll be riding the different modes of transportation from Nagano to Toyoma. I must commend our tour guide Yukino, she was definetely awesome. Always informing everyone beforehand what to expect on every stops. Very patient and kind to the whole group too. I forgot our driver's name. He was also very careful and mindful driver.

I've participated in other one-day tours in Japan before, but there's no comparison without a benchmark. This time, our tour leader, Xiao Yu (Yukino), truly exceeded expectations. Giving her 101 points wouldn't be an exaggeration! I want to sincerely thank our tour leader, Xiao Yu (Yukino), and our driver, Mr. Sun. Both were incredibly responsible, polite, and meticulous in their work. Throughout the trip, Xiao Yu (Yukino) thoughtfully sent us reminders via messaging apps about various important details, such as things to note, meeting times, and appropriate clothing for the weather. Everything was perfectly organized, making us feel very secure and allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. What's even more commendable is that Xiao Yu (Yukino) proactively offered to take photos for the group members! Not every tour leader does this, and it was a huge bonus! Driver Mr. Sun also drove very smoothly and safely, and his demeanor was very friendly. Additionally, I must mention that the fellow travelers on this tour were of very high quality; everyone was incredibly punctual and polite, making the entire trip exceptionally smooth. An impeccable professional team, combined with excellent fellow travelers, created a top-quality travel experience. If you're planning to book a two-day tour to Tateyama Kurobe and Kamikochi, choosing this tour is definitely the right decision!

This tour itinerary was very well arranged! Tour leader Kris took great care of the group members. Since some members spoke English, he provided bilingual explanations in both Chinese and English, which was very thoughtful. He also proactively offered to take photos for us, and his photography skills are great! The driver, Arakawa, was also wonderful, helping to load luggage onto the tour bus and standing by the door at attractions and rest stops to assist guests getting on and off. The hotel accommodation and meals were good, and soaking in the hot springs at night allowed for a wonderful night's sleep. The weather was great these past two days, and we are truly grateful!

I joined the tour from 21/6 to 22/6. My tour guide was 小晴 and driver was 荒川. It can get quite crowded and chaotic when going up Tateyama but thanks to 小晴, it was a organised one. She provided clear instructions on the time and place to meet. She also shared those information via WeChat with us. Special thanks to our driver too, who was always helpful and courteous to all of us, thanks for keeping us safe and sound throughout the trip! As for the tour, Kamikochi offered a really nice and easy hike in the nature while Tateyama offered majestic views. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who has a few days to spare in Nagoya!

Although the weather didn't cooperate on the first day in Kamikochi, the scenery along the way was still stunning, and fortunately, the rain stopped later on. On the second day, the scenery at Kurobe Tateyama was amazing, and it even snowed in the morning, making for a fantastic experience. Furthermore, our tour guide, Liu Mei, was extremely attentive and gave wonderful explanations throughout the entire trip, which made this journey even more complete.

This trip exceeded 5 stars. A big bus is used for 20+ participants so almost everyone get a seat with no one beside. this is extremely good for single traveller. the trip itinerary is very well planned, both kamikochi and Tateyama had good weather, the scenery were so nice - from autumn leaves to snow on top of Tateyama alpine, we experienced it all. hotel is also very good quality with indoor / outdoor onsen. nice spread of food for the dinner and breakfast buffet. Tour guide coordinates everything super well, from answering my question via WhatsApp even before the trip and throughout the trip - everyone is well taken care of. even the participants in this trip are civilised, punctual, not noisy, good manner. definitely one of the best trip!!

Our guide, Kris, was very thoughtful. Since most of the group was Chinese, he took extra care to ensure everyone could follow along smoothly and even offered to take photos for us. The hotel accommodation was good, and we loved the buffet breakfast and dinner. Kris also gave us ample time at each station so we could really enjoy ourselves. There was some waiting time at each station, but that was not a problem at all.

The biggest advantage was convenience. The schedule and transfers would be a hassle to arrange on your own, so this package made everything much easier. The guide was okay and did her job. Overall, I’d recommend this tour if you want a hassle free way to discover Kamikochi and Tateyama Kurobe.

Transportation in rural areas and during the winter in Japan can be quite challenging, so short-term tours like this are really wonderful, saving a lot of time and effort. The tour bus was very comfortable, with super strong heating, and the seats were spacious and clean. Our tour guide, Kris, happened to be from our hometown, and the entire itinerary was exceptionally well-managed, with very detailed instructions on important notes. The hotel in Hakuba for the overnight stay included breakfast and dinner, featuring traditional Japanese hot spring characteristics. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
