Things to do in Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

The weather was great that day, and the scenery at Kamikochi was beautiful. Our tour leader, Tomoka, was excellent and took great care of the group members and non-surfing participants, being very responsible. I will definitely come again next time.

Tour guide Amy deserves the highest praise for her attentiveness and responsibility. She made flexible arrangements after the heavy snow blocked the road. The itinerary was also well-organized.

Thank you to our guide Amanda, who did her best. We came for the Tateyama itinerary, which was a bit tiring as we had to wake up early. The guide led everyone through the mountains and valleys, keeping to the schedule. The scenery of the Chubu and Hokuriku regions is definitely worth visiting. Next time, I'll come back and explore Kanazawa and Toyama as well. We were very lucky with the weather this time, seeing both snow and autumn colors.

Our tour guide, Mr. Zheng, provided excellent service 👍. He thoroughly explained the highlights and unique features of each attraction and clearly communicated even small details, such as where we would have lunch. I hope I have the opportunity to tour with Mr. Zheng again in the future. Thank you 🙏.

So much fun, highly recommend! But it's best to check the weather forecast first, to avoid going and being met with a complete whiteout – that would be a real disappointment XD

Great trip, suitable for people who are physically fit. Also, a big thank you to our guide, Liu Mei, for her care. Highly recommended.

Tour guide: The person was very good and took good care of the tour members most of the time. She tried her best to help when needed and was very responsible. Accommodation options: The hotel was a bit old, and the room had a smell. I planned to open the window to air it out, but a few bugs flew into the room 😓. As a result, I couldn't sleep well all night. The hotel was clean, just a bit old. Itinerary: The itinerary was very rushed. The page introduction said the stay at Tateyama would be 6 hours, but we took the first mode of transportation at 8:30 AM in Ogizawa, and by 1:15 PM, we had already arrived at Tateyama Murodo. The overall feeling was too rushed, and in the end, we even skipped the Bijodaira station and took the bus directly from Murodo back to Tateyama Station. The weather didn't affect any of the transportation being suspended, so I don't understand why it was so rushed. Even Kamikochi didn't have enough time to see all the attractions. However, this is a limitation of group tours. After gaining experience, I can travel independently. Tateyama Kurobe and Kamikochi are places where you can have different experiences in all four seasons and are very worth visiting again.

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.
