1. If you want to enjoy the Upper Highlands, choose to stay 4 hours of the trip to take the A + B route is definitely enough, the scenery is beautiful, the trail is also very good to walk, and there is time to go to the souvenir shop on the side. People with poor leg strength can also choose routes A or B, and there is plenty of rest time. 2. Although the hot spring hotel stayed at night is relatively old, but the environment is clean, breakfast / dinner buffet options are also quite many, delicious, more unfortunately the environment oil smoke smell is heavier. 3. The next day to Kurobe Tateyama, the tour guide Ame arranged for us the next section of transportation time, as long as the agreed time to the fixed point can go to the next stop, the night before checking into the hotel also stopped supermarket so that we can prepare food for the mountain or evening dim sum, do not worry about running out of food. There is also a stop at a rest stop on the return trip to Nagoya Station, where you can get off to buy things and go to the toilet. In the car there will also be a brief explanation of the background of the place we headed to, and after getting off the car was very active in helping to take pictures. The only drawback was that the weather was relatively bad that day and I couldn't go down to walk on the snow wall, but the overall experience was great!
Ms. Wang led the tour and explained the entire process to us very clearly, which was reassuring. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and we were lucky enough to see the Thunderbirds – it was definitely worth it. There's even a post office at the highest point where you can buy postcards to send home as souvenirs. The tour was also run by Taiwanese people, and everyone was very elegant and the quality of the trip was excellent. Everyone was punctual, making it a wonderful experience. The tour leader was also very kind and proactive in taking photos for us to capture our memories. Although I've seen similar tours on other platforms, this one included transportation tickets, so we didn't have to pay cash on the spot; we could pay by card all at once, which I found much more convenient. The tour also included two small rice balls and ice cream. Because the schedule was very tight, there was almost no time to eat, so I recommend bringing some food with you. You can eat whenever you get hungry, or on the way back, because the scenery was just too beautiful to stop looking. I hope to come back again in the autumn. The driver drove very smoothly, and I didn't experience any motion sickness, which I was worried about. I highly recommend this tour!
