Matsumoto Passeios

I saw a TikTok about this place and became so fixated that I HAD to go there no matter what. Taking this tour was a great choice as it allowed for an easy transfer to and from Kamikochi. The first stop at Taisho Pond was breathtaking, which got me excited for the rest of the walk. The greenery of the forest in mid-June was a sight to behold, along with the Japanese Alps in the distance. The trail was not super crowded until you reached Kappa Bridge. There is also an additional trail to Myojin Bridge and Myojin First Pond, but only if you have an additional 2 hours to spare. I was taking my time on the first trail so I couldn't make it to the second, but I would definitely come back to do it!

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

This was my second time booking with this travel agency. We departed on time and arrived back in Nagoya exactly at 6 PM. The journey was smooth, and there were only eight of us on the shuttle bus, which made it very comfortable. I’m satisfied with the service, even though the weather wasn’t ideal—it was raining and the Alps didn’t show. I still had a great experience overall. I would definitely book again next time.

For those deterred by inconvenient transportation, this tour is highly recommended as it's incredibly convenient. The itinerary includes transportation from Nagoya to Kamikochi, one night's accommodation, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route ticket (Ogizawa-Tateyama), and return transportation from Tateyama to Nagoya. There's ample time reserved for the Kamikochi hike; we chose the 8-kilometer route and had plenty of time for lunch! Dinner is included with the accommodation, and there's a hot spring public bath to wash away the day's fatigue 😊. On the second day, we also got to see the Snow Wall of the Snow Corridor, which was what we most wanted to see at Tateyama Kurobe! Our guide, Abu, was a man of few words, but everything he said was important and needed reminding. His service was excellent, and he drove very steadily 👍. Overall, we had a great experience on the tour.

The tour guide for this group is from Hong Kong. Sheila, our guide, is a very thoughtful person. She reminded us that the journey would be long and advised us to prepare food from a convenience store to eat when 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 food and use the restroom. The first day's itinerary was Kamikochi, and it was very well-arranged; we visited all the planned attractions. The weather that day was excellent, neither too hot nor too cold. Kamikochi's scenery is beautiful and well worth a visit; I recommend it to everyone. The first night's hotel was a hot spring ryokan in Hakuba Onsen. The buffet was delicious, and the food selection was abundant. The second day's itinerary was Tateyama Kurobe, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, and the Snow Valley was closed, which gives us a reason to visit again. We returned to Tokyo around 7 PM after the trip concluded. 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. Many thanks to our guide for giving us such an enjoyable two-day, one-night trip.

I'd love to visit here again. My wish to visit another prefecture of Japan is complete... this one really captured my heart. I hope to come again with my husband. The view was perfect! The tour guide was also very helpful and clear.

El lugar más hermoso en el que he estado en Japón. La caminata para principiantes/visitantes por primera vez, con un tiempo asignado de 1.5 horas, es más que suficiente para tomar fotos/videos en el camino y llegar al Puente donde se encuentran los restaurantes. Puedes almorzar aquí. Prueba el pastel de manzana y el helado de manzana.

Our guide, Suesy, was very helpful, and the information provided to us was clear. The bus we had was clean and comfortable. It's a long journey to Kamikochi, but it's worth the visit.
