Gifu Prefecture Flere dagers turer

Min gruppe på 6 personer har hatt glede av vår 2 dager/1 natt-tur på Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Vi var spesielt heldige som hadde en så utmerket guide i fru Zhang, 张静娟. Reiseruten vår var godt planlagt, og fru Zhangs detaljerte forklaring av stedene vi besøkte var klar og presis. Hun ga oss også tips om god lokal mat vi burde prøve. De 6 forskjellige transportmidlene var en opplevelse da vi krysset Alpene og fjellene for å nå snøveggene. Det høyeste punktet på veggen var 11 meter. Dessverre regnet det da vi kom til snøveggen, så bildene våre ble litt uskarpe og våte, men begeistringen vår kompenserte for været 😂

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.

Before departure, we were invited to join a messaging group where we could get information or ask any questions about the trip. Tour leader Xiao Yu arranged the entire itinerary—including timing, routes, transportation, and accommodations—very satisfactorily, and proactively took photos for group members along the way. On the first day, we departed from the meeting point in Nagoya for Kamikochi. On the tour bus, the tour leader distributed images and details regarding routes 1 and 2, including estimated times, and asked everyone to choose their preferred route for coordination and information. In the evening, we stayed at a hot spring ryokan with two meals included. On the second day, we headed to Kurobe Tateyama. The weather that day was extremely severe, with heavy wind and rain. The entire schedule simply consisted of getting on and off the bus, stepping outside briefly, and using the restroom. In the evening, we checked into a nice hotel and enjoyed a Japanese-style dinner. On the third day, after having a buffet breakfast at the hotel, we set off for Shirakawa-go, Hida-Takayama, Gujo Hachiman, and returned to Nagoya.

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.
