Review for: Join from Nagano Station

Although we booked an English tour guide, it happened that the tour guide had lived in Taiwan so he could speak Chinese, which was great👍. And because we went in the off-season of September in the summer, there were only two of us. Because of the off-season, the waiting time for the bus was very fast, about 5 pm We returned to Nagano Station at :45. The tour guide also very considerately recommended us the food and attractions in Nagano. Because we returned to Nagano Station early, he also recommended us to go to Zenkoji Temple and then walk along the old street back to the station. It was really interesting A wonderful fulfilling day. The tour guide who went up to Murodo also recommended that we can soak in the hot springs at Yamaya. Although the weather was unstable and it was raining and there was white mist and we couldn’t see anything, but it was cool and cool to soak in the hot springs♨️It was very comfortable😌Awesome👍

We were very thankful to our Travel guide “Dai” for the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, a scenic route through the Northern Japanese Alps. We had a pleasant and relaxing trip thanks to a careful and reliable young man, who made us understand a lot of information and history about Tateyama Kurobe. Thank you to him and driver “Nishizawa San” for making us get through the full day of the trip safely. Also we made a new good friend from the UK. Thanks to his guidance, we had enough time to visit and enjoy the scenery.

The tour guide's English is very good. He will explain each scenic spot in detail. The medium-sized bus is very comfortable. The scenery of Tateyama in autumn is beautiful. You can walk easily or for a long time.

The weather is unpredictable; Murodo experienced a heavy snowstorm on November 1st. The trails are covered in snow, and you need to be careful to stand firm when strong winds strike, but the snow scenery on the mountain is beautiful.

The cost for this tour was high. The guide was there to get the tickets and guide us up the mountain. There is food and drinks available but if have dietary restrictions or are particular with your diet bring your own food and snacks.

This is one of a kind experience. We had an amazing guide Joyce, she is friendly, helpful, and went all the way out to ensure everyone in the group is taken care of. The arrangement was perfectly organised right from the pick up till the end. The scenery is really amazing, I truly enjoyed my day.
