Passeios por Hakuba

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.

The itinerary is rich and the timing is well-arranged. Itinerary: The first day involves a relaxed 3-hour hike, followed by a buffet dinner and hot spring bath at the hotel. It is recommended to set aside time to eat something near Kappa Bridge. The second day mainly consists of taking various modes of transport on 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's 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 point communication was not detailed or was changed arbitrarily; for example, several times we were told to wait at the shop entrance but the guide himself went directly to the tour bus.
