Dingen om te doen in Kurobe

Benodigdheden: drankjes en snacks, waterdichte schoenen, waterdichte jas, paraplu, muts, telefoon met draagkoord, rugzak, vochtige doekjes. We zijn met een kleine groep van 11 personen op tour geweest met Alpan als gids. De tour begon om 8:00 uur en eindigde om 13:30 uur. Ga niet eerst naar de sneeuwwand, maar ga eerst naar de vijver en loop zoveel mogelijk. De sneeuwwand is in ongeveer 25 minuten heen en terug te bekijken. U kunt de ontdooide vijver en de warmwaterbronnen in de verte zien, en met een beetje geluk zelfs de mascottevogel. De vogel poseert goed, dus u kunt gemakkelijk foto's maken. Hoewel het een snelle tour was, ben ik tevreden. Ik overweeg om in het komende winterseizoen nog een keer terug te gaan. Alpan de gids is de beste! Als u Alpan als gids krijgt toegewezen, wordt uw reis veel comfortabeler.

The itinerary was rich and well-timed. Itinerary: On the first day, we had a relaxed 3-hour hike, followed by a buffet dinner and hot spring bath at the hotel. I recommend setting aside time to grab a bite near Kappa Bridge. The second day primarily involved taking various modes of transportation up the mountain and enjoying the scenery. The entire trip was comfortable and easy to complete. Accommodation: We were arranged to stay at the Hakuba Tokyu Resort, a hot spring hotel. It was a bit old but comfortable, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Tour Guide: The only minor drawback was that the tour guide didn't pay much attention to the guests, and communication could be improved. Meeting points were not communicated clearly or were changed arbitrarily. For example, on several occasions, we were told to wait at a shop entrance, but the guide would then just get on the tour bus themselves.

🌟 Highly Recommended: Tour Guide Joe's Professional Leadership 🌟 I just returned from the two-day, one-night Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour departing from Osaka on May 13, 2026, and I absolutely must give a strong recommendation for our tour leader, Joe! This itinerary inherently involves very complex transportation, but thanks to Joe's perfect arrangements, the entire travel experience exceeded all expectations: * ⏱️ Impeccable Time Management: The connections between the various mountain transport methods on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route are incredibly intricate, and the queues on-site can be overwhelming. Fortunately, Joe, with his extensive experience, accurately anticipated crowd movements and secured our spots early, ensuring we didn't waste any time waiting unnecessarily. The time spent at each attraction was perfectly balanced—ample yet without feeling rushed between locations. Truly professional! * 🏨 High-Quality, Comfortable Accommodation: The hot spring hotel arranged for this trip was fantastic! After a full day of hiking and seeing the snow walls, being able to soak in a high-quality hot spring in the evening and thoroughly relax tired muscles was wonderful. The room was clean and spacious, and the service was incredibly attentive. You could truly feel the care put into selecting the accommodation. * 🍱 Excellent Food and Accommodation (Both Superb): The meals included in the itinerary (whether the exquisite Japanese hot spring cuisine or the buffet dinner and breakfast) were all delicious, generously portioned, and featured distinct local flavors. This completely shattered the stereotype that "group tour meals aren't good"! What was most touching was Joe's humor, wit, and thoughtful care. He constantly explained local history and culture to us along the way and was incredibly patient and accommodating with all sorts of unexpected requests from group members. Thank you, Joe, for giving our family such a perfect Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route trip! If we book another tour in the future, we will definitely want to request Joe again! 💯👍
