Matsumoto Päiväretket

Näin TikTokissa videon tästä paikasta ja pakkomielteeni oli päästä sinne hinnalla millä hyvänsä. Tämän retken tekeminen oli loistava valinta, sillä se mahdollisti helpon kuljetuksen Kamikochiin ja sieltä pois. Ensimmäinen pysähdys Taisho Ike -lammella oli henkeäsalpaava, mikä innosti minua loppukävelyä varten. Metsän vehreys kesäkuun puolivälissä oli upea näky yhdessä etäisyydessä siintävien Japanin Alppien kanssa. Polku ei ollut kovin ruuhkainen ennen Kappa-sillalle saapumista. On myös lisäpolku Myojin-sillalle ja Myojin First Pond -lammelle, mutta vain jos sinulla on kaksi lisätuntia aikaa. Käytin aikaani ensimmäisellä polulla niin, etten ehtinyt toiselle, mutta tulisin ehdottomasti takaisin tekemään sen!

It was an amazing experience. Fortunately, I got lucky with the weather and traffic. Everything was satisfying. I must mention our guide, Nakata-san; she was amazing. Basically, it was a Japanese tour, but she gave us extra care as non-Japanese and provided good information all day. I'm a tour guide myself, and I must say she did well to manage large numbers of people.

The meeting point was easy to find, and the departure was on time. Even though it was rainy and cloudy on the day we went, we were able to comfortably walk the 3.5 km without getting tired. Our guide, Yamada, provided detailed explanations in both English and Japanese. We made three stops at rest areas, and we arrived back in Nagoya on time, around 7 PM.

Tämä oli toinen kerta, kun varasin matkan tältä matkatoimistolta. Lähdimme ajallaan ja saavuimme takaisin Nagoyaan tasan kello 18.00. Matka oli sujuva, ja meitä oli vain kahdeksan henkilöä bussissa, mikä teki siitä erittäin mukavan. Olen tyytyväinen palveluun, vaikka sää ei ollutkaan ihanteellinen – satoi ja Alpit eivät näkyneet. Minulla oli silti kaiken kaikkiaan hieno kokemus. Voisin ehdottomasti varata uudelleen ensi kerralla.

Rakastan vierailla täällä, toivelistani Japanin toisen prefektuurin vierailusta on nyt täydellinen. Tämä paikka valloitti sydämeni. Toivottavasti pääsen tulemaan uudelleen mieheni kanssa. Näkymä on täydellinen! Myös opas oli erittäin avulias ja selkeä.

First, I'd like to thank our tour guide, Ms. Anna, for leading us on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour on May 8th. From the moment we boarded the bus, she provided very detailed explanations and repeated them in both Chinese and English. It seemed like if there were Japanese participants, she might have even explained it in Japanese again. She was able to explain the origins of everything, from the history of Tateyama and its scenic spots to the herbs on the Chizushi bento box, which was truly impressive. Furthermore, during the tour, she would always be the first to arrive at the meeting point, holding her flag high, and would frequently offer helpful tips, such as information on limited-edition local products, seating areas, recommended seating positions on public transport, crowd control, and perfect timing. In short, she is a truly admirable person. Regarding the attractions, I honestly feel we were very lucky. I initially thought it would be a day ruined by heavy rain, as it was pouring heavily on the way to Tateyama Station... My heart sank at that moment. I thought, "How are we going to enjoy anything like this?" However, from Tateyama Station onwards, the rain stopped. Then, at Murodo, at a crucial moment, there was only fog and wind, but the visibility was still very good, making the experience uniquely enjoyable. The fog even created a snow-like, yet not quite snowy, atmosphere. Besides our own group, I saw many other tourists having a great time. Later, at Daikanbo, there was no rain or fog when we were at the observation deck or riding the ropeway. We were able to take in the entire panoramic view, which was truly breathtaking. Any photo taken there could easily be a postcard. At Kurobe Lake and Kurobe Dam, I had heard there would be significant rain, but by the time our group arrived at Kurobe Lake, the rain had stopped, and visibility was incredibly high. The unobstructed view of the dam was another kind of spectacular and magnificent sight. Was our group blessed with some special luck? Thank you to our tour guide and the hardworking driver. Watching him drive precisely and smoothly on the dark, winding roads on the way back showed his extensive experience. Most of the tourists, including myself, slept soundly. Thank you to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience on this one-day tour! I would definitely recommend this to friends who aspire to travel independently but also want an easy way to experience the Kurobe Tateyama Alpine Route.

the most beautiful place I have been to in Japan. the beginner/first time visitor trek allotted 1.5hrs is more than enough time to take photos/videos along the ways and reach the Bridge where restaurants are. you can have lunch here. try the apple pie and apple ice cream.

Oppaamme Suesy on erittäin avulias ja meille annettu tieto on selkeää. Bussi oli siisti ja mukava. Matka Kamikochiin on pitkä, mutta vierailun arvoinen.

it was unfortunately a rainy day on our trip. it was otherwise a scenic and tranquil trail to walk on leisurely. timing was sufficient for walking and having breaks along the way. recommend the apple pie and yogurt drink at the shops near the bus terminal. guide was not much of a guide, basically just a chaperon during the bus transfer, giving instructions on what time and where to meet, and also reminders not to litter in the bus, that was all. no history or other information given whatsoever for the region.
