Kamikochi & Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route Tour (From Tokyo)

The tour guide for this group was from Hong Kong. Sheila, our guide, was very thoughtful. She reminded us that the bus ride would be long and advised us to buy food at a convenience store to eat if we got hungry. The trip was very comfortable, and the tour bus was spacious with plenty of room, so it didn't feel crowded. Every 2 to 3 hours, there was a rest stop where we could buy snacks and use the restroom. On the first day, we visited Kamikochi. The itinerary was well-planned, and we got to see all the intended sights. The weather that day was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. The scenery in Kamikochi is beautiful and well worth a visit; I recommend it to everyone. Our first night's accommodation was a hot spring ryokan in Hakuba Onsen. The buffet was delicious, with a wide variety of food. On the second day, we went to Tateyama Kurobe. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and the Snow Valley was closed, which gives us a reason to visit again in the future. We returned to Tokyo around 7 PM after the trip concluded. Our guide, Sheila, also recommended some good restaurants to try in Tokyo. We followed her advice and went to a beef tongue restaurant, which was quite tasty. We are very grateful to our guide for providing us with such an enjoyable two-day, one-night trip.

we joined this tour trip few days back and enjoyed the trip. Sheila is our tour guide. she is friendly, helpful and took good care of us. The accimmodation was good though the hotel look old. staff there were friendly. We ran into a bad weather day and the snow wall was closed but overall it was worth joining this 2D1N trip.

Our tour guide, Ashley, and her assistant were very kind and meticulous, ensuring everything was perfect. We stayed overnight at the Hakuba Mominoki Hotel, where dinner was incredibly lavish, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The only minor drawback was that the bathroom was a bit small, but the coffee milk and regular milk outside the hot spring area were absolutely delicious. The Kamikochi itinerary involved a walk of over 3 kilometers to Kappa Bridge, which was pleasant since it wasn't a hot day. The water was crystal clear, and Kappa Bridge was beautiful. For the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, we kept changing modes of transportation. Before going, I thought it would be very interesting, but in reality, it felt a bit strenuous and wasn't quite what I expected. Also, there were many people, and the snow walls were crowded. It was extremely cold, so we quickly headed indoors after a short time. At the end of the trip, on the way back to Tokyo, we saw the snow-capped Mount Fuji from a rest stop, which was fantastic! Thank you, Ashley, for arranging everything so well.

Our trip coincided with Japan's Golden Week, so there were a lot of people. Luckily, we had our professional tour guide, Steve, who arranged all our transportation. Going up and down Tateyama Kurobe requires taking multiple types of transport, eight times in total. It's not easy to gather everyone when there are so many people, but he also shared stories about the construction of Tateyama Kurobe. I'm truly grateful for Steve's meticulous care throughout the trip. I also want to thank the Japanese driver, who remained patient and steady despite driving for long hours. Thank you both!

It was really good! Worth the money you pay. I had a trip on 7-8 May. the snow wall was 11-meters still. The bus drive was not that long at all. at 7.30 we left Tokyo and 11 already walk in Kamikochi. The Hotel is actually very nice you can see the pictures of food what they serve.

First and foremost, I must commend Sheila, our tour guide. She is probably the most attentive guide I've ever encountered on a small group tour like this. With a diverse group of international travelers, there were naturally more complex issues, but she was always ready to help resolve them. Furthermore, Sheila's communication and explanations were consistently excellent, regardless of the language proficiency of the group members. Her explanations were virtually identical across all three languages, which is crucial; otherwise, it would have felt like blindly following the crowd. The itinerary was well-planned, offering ample time to explore attractions and sufficient travel time to alleviate fatigue. However, the accommodation was quite remote, and the hotel's selection of goods was limited. While some snacks and late-night treats could be purchased at rest stops, the journey was quite long. I would suggest adding a closer shopping stop before returning to the hotel, especially for items that require refrigeration or freezing. The guide was absolutely fantastic.

We joined the 2-day Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour. The tour guide Arpan is very professional. He led a big group of more than 40 people and was attentive to diverse needs of tour members. A very wonderful trip!

Ashley is our guide for this trip, everything is so smooth and well handle. This trip is include great hotel and wonderful buffet dinner&breakfast also an onsen in hotel. worth every penny

We are very happy with the tour, it was quite a tiring journey but the view and experience is definitely worth it. Our guide Arpan was also very helpful.

Arpan, our friendly tour guide from Nepal. He was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire trip. He was always approachable, answered our questions with patience, and went out of his way to ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. We especially appreciated his positive attitude and dedication to making sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule. There’s one thing we whole family were really appreciated was how accommodating and proactive he was with our schedule as we need to transit at the end of Ogizawa station to another place by our own. He was so kind to help us carried out the luggages from bus and asked about the bus tickets’ info so that we could leave for our next destination on time. His positive attitude and willingness to work around our timing made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciated his effort and professionalism.
