Nagano

This trip took us to five places, and there was plenty of time at each site, so there was time for taking photos and resting. The tour guide was very attentive in explaining some of the classic historical sites.

Public transportation to Shanggaodi is relatively inconvenient and expensive, so booking this tour is the easiest, most convenient, and most economical option. Tour leader Amy is professional and considerate, making the whole experience very relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍

Due to the itinerary, we went straight to Karuizawa on the first day and didn't realize that the Tokyo Wide Pass I bought on KKDay could only be redeemed for physical tickets at Narita, Tokyo, and Shinjuku stations. I am grateful to KKDay customer service for their assistance in canceling the ticket (after deducting a 10% handling fee).

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!

The forest cafe is beautiful and highly recommended; it would be even better if you could stay a little longer. The Itoshima gelato is delicious.

The scenery was beautiful, the price was reasonable, the tour leader, Xiao Wang, was very nice and helped take photos along the way. The drivers were all very kind and friendly.

Although it was raining that day, I was very happy to have the famous soba noodles and apple pie ☺️. It was a real pity that the view of Kumoba Pond was a bit misty; I hope to be able to slowly appreciate the scenery of Karuizawa next time. I'm also very grateful to the tour guide for introducing local specialties and restaurants.
