I've participated in other one-day tours in Japan before, but there's no comparison without a benchmark. This time, our tour leader, Xiao Yu (Yukino), truly exceeded expectations. Giving her 101 points wouldn't be an exaggeration! I want to sincerely thank our tour leader, Xiao Yu (Yukino), and our driver, Mr. Sun. Both were incredibly responsible, polite, and meticulous in their work. Throughout the trip, Xiao Yu (Yukino) thoughtfully sent us reminders via messaging apps about various important details, such as things to note, meeting times, and appropriate clothing for the weather. Everything was perfectly organized, making us feel very secure and allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. What's even more commendable is that Xiao Yu (Yukino) proactively offered to take photos for the group members! Not every tour leader does this, and it was a huge bonus! Driver Mr. Sun also drove very smoothly and safely, and his demeanor was very friendly. Additionally, I must mention that the fellow travelers on this tour were of very high quality; everyone was incredibly punctual and polite, making the entire trip exceptionally smooth. An impeccable professional team, combined with excellent fellow travelers, created a top-quality travel experience. If you're planning to book a two-day tour to Tateyama Kurobe and Kamikochi, choosing this tour is definitely the right decision!

Participating in the Kamikochi day tour led by guide Ms. Zuo Sha was, overall, an unforgettable and highly recommended trip. The natural scenery of Kamikochi is truly stunning, and especially on a first visit, one always wants to seize the opportunity to walk further and see more. Before departure, the tour guide thoughtfully provided two route options, A and B, and kindly suggested that first-time visitors start with Option A, which goes from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge. However, because I loved the scenery of Kamikochi so much, after finishing Option A I still wanted to challenge Option B and walked all the way to Myojin Pond. As a result, I failed to manage my return time properly, causing everyone to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes. I am truly sorry to the guide, my fellow group members, and the driver who worked hard to pick us up and drop us off. Especially considering that Japan has strict regulations regarding the working hours of professional drivers, my delay may have increased the driver's workload, which makes me feel even more apologetic. I am also extremely grateful for everyone's patience and understanding. Additionally, although there were some minor communication hiccups during this trip, I deeply appreciate the guide's subsequent attitude and adjustments. She not only proactively showed care, but I could also feel her sincere desire to improve her service. In truth, the service industry is never easy; whether it is the tour guide or the driver, every link requires mutual cooperation. Good service is worth recognizing, and travelers should also offer a little more understanding and empathy. Finally, thank you to the guide for taking care of us along the way, and thank you to the driver for the hard work and safe transportation. This trip to Kamikochi not only allowed me to enjoy beautiful scenery, but also gave me much to reflect upon. Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful time on this nature trip! 🌿🌳 The fresh air, beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking views made every moment special. A perfect escape from the busy routine and a beautiful reminder of how amazing nature is. Also our tourguide is pretty cool and approachable ☺️ Truly refreshing and unforgettable! 💚✨

Till en början var jag lite nervös eftersom jag bokade den här turen trots att den saknade recensioner, och jag reser ensam som kvinna. Jag är på väg tillbaka till Tokyo nu och ville dela med mig av min upplevelse. Den långa bilresan är värd det för den fantastiska utsikten över Kamikochi om man har lite tid. Jag njöt verkligen av min tid där och tyckte att priset var mycket rimligt för en 9-timmars tur och retur-resa. Vädret var perfekt, vilket förhöjde det vackra landskapet. Min guide, Cathy, var tillmötesgående och snäll, vilket fick mig att känna mig trygg och omhändertagen. Chauffören körde också säkert. Jag rekommenderar denna tur varmt, men var beredd på en lång dag! Det finns ändå gott om tillfällen att ta en tupplur under bussresan.

It was such a wonderful experience, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Definitely one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Japan. Worth every minute of the journey! Highly recommended!

Även om resplanen var intensiv och vi ständigt bytte transportmedel, lyckades Vivian och alla gruppmedlemmar hålla tiden utmärkt. Ingen var sen till något tillfälle, och Vivian var mycket tydlig med mötesplatser och tider. Hon var också särskilt uppmärksam på de äldre som behövde extra omsorg. Förutom snömuren var landskapet längs vägen uppför Tateyama Kurobe-rutten, med dess berg och träd, otroligt vackert. Vi hade exceptionellt bra väder den dagen vi var där, och vi såg allt vi skulle se, förutom regnbågen vid vattenfallet. Det var en mycket lycklig, avkopplande och trevlig resa.

Turen är absolut värd att besöka, tiden är begränsad och inte tillräcklig för att se allt om man inte går väldigt snabbt utan pauser... Men platsen är fantastisk även på en grundläggande rutt. Guiden Han talade riktigt bra engelska och förklarade all viktig information samt gav användbara rekommendationer.

The 1-day bus tour to Kamikochi was comfortable and pleasant. Since I heard it might rain and be cold, I prepared accordingly, but thankfully the weather turned out great, and I couldn't take my eyes off the magnificent scenery the entire time we walked. I spent a happy day walking and taking pictures for three hours. I would like to thank our guide Paul and the driver, who kindly, attentively, and professionally took care of a tour group made up of people from various countries. I hope to see you again next year if the opportunity arises.
