The tour leader was friendly and patient in explaining everything, and the various transportation routes were smooth. The entire itinerary was well-arranged. Although the journey was remote and the time was tight, it was a pity that the weather was not good enough to walk through the snow valley. However, it allowed us to enjoy the beautiful scenery with peace of mind, making it excellent value for money.

I chose a tour group departing from Tokyo because I was visiting relatives there. Unexpectedly, out of the 43 people in the group, only my husband and I were Taiwanese; the rest were Japanese, and over 70% of them were over 60 years old. Whenever I spoke to them in English, they looked terrified. Fortunately, our tour leader, Shiomi-san, was very attentive and caring, allowing us, with our Japanese only at an N5 level, to successfully visit the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, the Kurobe Gorge, and the Kamikochi Plateau.

Our tour guide, Ms. Ma, provided a very detailed and responsible introduction. The restaurant was nice, with plentiful food and great value for money. Unfortunately, the fog was too thick to visit the snow wall, but I would definitely visit again next time.

Our tour group departed from Dotonbori, Osaka on May 19th and 20th. Our guide, Hana, was a very gentle and attentive person. She managed the pace perfectly, taking photos for everyone along the way, providing explanations, and arranging delicious dinners at the hotels! The weather was beautifully clear during the trip, and the group members were all very punctual, making for a very smooth itinerary! We returned to Osaka earlier than originally planned, allowing everyone to get some rest. 🥰

Our tour guide, Liu Mei, and driver, Mr. Arakawa, were both excellent!!! Liu Mei's time management was incredibly precise (the 4-hour stop at the top of the hill allowed us to complete the entire trip smoothly), her attitude was extremely polite (she patiently answered all our questions), and she was very meticulous (she arranged seating according to arrival times on the first day). Mr. Arakawa greeted passengers as they got on and off the bus (he was so polite!), and his driving was very smooth. The hotel, while somewhat dated as some reviews mentioned, was well-maintained, and I enjoyed the buffet. I highly recommend visiting the large public bath!!! The weather was fantastic for both days of the trip!!! Thank God 🥰
