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!

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 itinerary was very tight, the tour leader was competent, and the driver—an experienced female driver—was very steady. The condition of the bus was a bit old, and the APA Hotel in Kanazawa was located in a remote area, making it difficult to find food after checking in late at night.

This time, I joined a small group tour to Kurobe Tateyama. Although there was no tour guide, the driver was gentle and friendly, and he was an expert on Nagoya, so we could ask him questions at any time. Since the attractions are quite far apart, there is a lot of time spent riding in the vehicle, but it's also a great opportunity to rest along the way. The scenery along the route was super beautiful. In the evening, we stayed at a hot spring hotel where we could soak and relax. If you are thinking about visiting Kurobe Tateyama along with Shirakawa-go, I highly recommend this itinerary, as it saves a lot of time on self-planning.

Departing in mid-October, we seized the opportunity before the mountain trails closed. I had actually wanted to go for a very long time. Our tour guide, Ms. Yu, was extremely attentive the entire time, provided very clear explanations, answered all the group members' questions, and interacted with us a lot. We had a wonderful time, and both dinner and breakfast featured authentic Japanese-style meals.

The itinerary was rich and well-timed. Itinerary: On the first day, we had a relaxed 3-hour hike, followed by a buffet dinner and hot spring bath at the hotel. I recommend setting aside time to grab a bite near Kappa Bridge. The second day primarily involved taking various modes of transportation up the mountain and enjoying the scenery. The entire trip was comfortable and easy to complete. Accommodation: We were arranged to stay at the Hakuba Tokyu Resort, a hot spring hotel. It was a bit old but comfortable, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Tour Guide: The only minor drawback was that the tour guide didn't pay much attention to the guests, and communication could be improved. Meeting points were not communicated clearly or were changed arbitrarily. For example, on several occasions, we were told to wait at a shop entrance, but the guide would then just get on the tour bus themselves.

I previously joined a Shirakawa-go day tour, and this time, because I wanted to visit Kamikochi and my family was going for the first time, I decided to take them to Shirakawa-go. Booking this two-day tour felt like a great value! The onsen hotel we stayed at was also very good. In the evening, we could leisurely stroll and dine in the Takayama Old Town, enjoying its atmosphere. The onsen hotel was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot springs. The next day, after a good night's sleep, we headed to Kamikochi. Without the long travel time, we had a full four hours to explore, which was perfect. I would definitely consider joining this tour again in the future. Our tour leader, Liu Mei, was fantastic and very thoughtful. She even proactively helped us book a Hida beef restaurant and secured small souvenir gifts for us.

Tour guide Sister Amy explained everything in great detail. The scenery at Kamikochi is breathtaking, and taking the six types of Alpine transportation went very smoothly. The views are truly stunning and wonderful, and I highly recommend it to everyone. The accommodation at the Hakuba hotel was also fantastic, with very hearty breakfast and dinner. The hotel staff were very nice, and the driver was wonderful and drove very safely. Thank you all, this trip went smoothly and was very enjoyable 😀

The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The front desk staff were friendly and polite. Next to the elevator, there were drip coffee bags and various tea bags available, as well as small packaged amenities like cleansing and beauty lotions. Everything was great, except for the location being a bit far from the station. The breakfast selection was extensive; the freshly made omelets are highly recommended. There were many Japanese dishes, breads, and salads, and a wide variety of beverages including juice, milk, and oolong tea. The only minor downsides were that there were only three types of fruit, and the curry sauce was a bit thin and not the traditional Japanese flavor we usually expect.
