I recommend arriving early in the morning, as fog often forms on the summit after midday, making it a real shame to miss the view of the Alps! Shopping and dining are highly recommended; they're really inexpensive! With the coupon program, it's an incredible value! I would definitely visit again. Exchanging tickets is also very convenient and easy! Highly recommended!
The original itinerary was for July 30th, but the tour didn't make it to the scheduled departure date. KKDay informed me that I could change to a later, already booked tour. The communication was clear, timely, and excellent. The three-day itinerary was well-planned, especially the hotel on the first day, which was better than expected! The second day's itinerary required some physical exertion, like commuting uphill; those who enjoy transportation would likely appreciate it. The third day's visit to the Gassho-zukuri village was the grand finale, so I recommend conserving your energy for exploring. Our guide, Manman, was very helpful, providing many local details and recommending things to buy, enriching the trip. I especially loved the yogurt available at Kappa Bridge—it was delicious!
