Coisas para fazer em Nagano

What to bring: drinks and snacks, waterproof shoes, waterproof jacket, umbrella, hat, phone cross-body strap, backpack, wet wipes. We went on a small tour with 11 people with our Alpan guide. It started at 8 AM and ended at 1:30 PM. Don't go to the Snow Wall first; go to the pond first and walk as far as you can. The Snow Wall can be seen completely in about 25 minutes round trip. You can see the melted pond, the hot springs in the distance, and if you're lucky, even the mascot bird. The bird poses well, so you can comfortably take photos. Although it was a quick tour, like roasting beans over a flash fire, I'm satisfied. Next time, I'm personally thinking of going again in the upcoming winter season. Alpan guide is the best. If you get assigned an Alpan guide, your trip will be comfortable.

The trip was super nice. It still pushed through even though we're only 5 in the group. The pacing just feels right for both the snow monkey and the shrines. Helen, our tour guide, was also very accommodating and friendly.

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.

We really enjoyed this tour and the cherry blossom in Takato was breathtaking. Our guide, Carp Feng, was excellent and patient and made the trip even more memorable. We highly recommend this tour to everybody during the cherry blossom season.

We had a great time on this tour and are so glad we booked it! If we could give extra stars, we would. Carp was such a great tour guide — so engaging, friendly, and informative. We appreciated how kind and considerate she was with pointing out where the stamps were when she saw we were collecting them + making sure we were on time but also giving us a lot of grace and space to take in everything. There were clear instructions and communication on how to meet, what the schedule was going to be, and they even provided us food at the end of our long day. Moreover, the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route was BEAUTIFUL. We were in awe of everything and truly believe we had such a great time thanks to Carp. She even helped us get into another tour with her last minute for a few days later to Hitachi Seaside Park! The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour was definitely one of the highlights of our Japan trip. Thank you Carp!

Initially, I was only looking forward to the Nagano Snow Monkeys part of the trip, but the visit to the shrine was enjoyable too! I took many photos and loved the walk with the surrounding snow. The guide prepared crampons for all of us, so the walk was very lovely!

Nagano Station is a very convenient meeting point. Our guide was very friendly and responsible. At each stop, they made sure all participants were present. The scenery was beautiful. We transferred to different transportation to reach the Alpine. Highly recommended.
