The trip is very rich accommodation and food are unbeatable 😊 The hotel's authentic Japanese food and kaiseki cuisine are very good food The tour guide took very good care of us In summary, it is to play good shooting, some places are good to buy🤭
Our guide, Xiao Ma, was excellent. He managed the time very well, provided clear explanations, and showed us all the stamping locations for the six modes of transportation. Please note that the area around Murodo, where you can view the snow walls, is extremely crowded, with long queues for food and drinks. Xiao Ma is very professional and suggests buying some food the day before to eat on the way up. There's plenty of time in the Gassho-zukuri village; we took the shuttle bus directly to the observation deck (300 yen per person per trip). I recommend taking this bus as it's fast and convenient. The driver was also excellent and safely delivered everyone to their destination.
This trip since I did not want to plan, decided to join the group. Advantages of the whole group: 1. Tokyo Shinjuku departure, Tokyo Shinjuku disbandment 2. The whole group's itinerary Day1 on the highland river hike to Kappa Bridge, enough time, the elderly can walk slowly Day2 really fight the big guy, Ogizawa-》Kurobe Reservoir-》Aerial cable car-》Tateyama Kurobe Snow Valley 3. The tour guide 3 languages in turn explain, English, Mandarin, Cantonese, do not worry about language barrier Finally want to praise the tour guide Ashley, attentive and smiling, so that the whole trip is very smooth and satisfactory.
Although the earthquake caused a route change, the tour guide still managed to arrange the itinerary well. The hotel has a large public bath and private baths, and the dinner selection is plentiful.
If you were to visit the Kamikochi and Kurobe Alpine Route on your own, you would need to do a lot of research and it would be quite inconvenient. With KKDAY's tour, we saved a lot of time on planning and didn't have to worry about many things. It was a worry-free, comfortable group tour. Our guide, Zheng Qiang, was very interesting and interactive, and he even took photos for us. He seemed to have a passion for photography, so his photos turned out quite well. The attractions are definitely worth visiting. The transportation, accommodation, and restaurant meals were all excellent. Overall, aside from having to get up early, there's nothing to complain about. Thumbs up!
This trip to the Kamikochi region of the Japanese Alps was absolutely perfect! Although the round trip from Nagoya wasn't short, the professional guidance of our guide, Mr. Feng, kept the pace excellent, making it completely stress-free. Highlights: • Strolling through breathtaking hidden gems: We started from Taisho Pond and hiked all the way to Kappa Bridge. This route is the essence of Kamikochi, with shimmering lake reflections, crystal-clear streams, and the magnificent Hotaka mountain range – it was like a fairyland. • Professional guide, Mr. Feng: Mr. Feng was incredibly attentive and responsible, not only explaining the local history and natural ecology along the way but also pointing out the best photo spots. Under his guidance, we were able to experience nature in the most relaxed and comfortable way. • Smooth itinerary: For those who don't want to drive or take complicated transfers, this round trip from Nagoya was extremely efficient, perfect for travelers wanting a day trip to explore the hidden gems of the Hokuriku region. I'm so glad we had such a great guide and such great weather; this hiking trip was truly refreshing and rejuvenating.
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Samida, who led the tour. It was truly an unforgettable tour of a lifetime. I participated alone without any companions, and I was practically the only non-Japanese foreigner on the group. Since my Japanese is not fluent, communication wasn't easy, but the tour leader, Mr. Samida, paid special attention to ensure that I, as a foreigner, could keep up. Thanks to him, I was able to follow along without getting lost or wandering aimlessly. Thank you once again. The tour itinerary was absolutely perfect in every aspect. The route had absolutely no inefficient paths, so there was no wasted time, and ample time was provided for free sightseeing at every attraction. The bus returning after the tour thoughtfully passed by the beach, allowing me to enjoy an unexpected view of the ocean. The scenery seen during the train and bus journeys, the magnificent nature of Japan that I had only seen in photos, and the warm people—everything about this tour felt like a dream. Thank you once again!
