Koshinetsu

The itinerary was comprehensive, the tour guide's explanations were clear, and the timing was just right. I would definitely participate again next time.

The ropeway ride was shrouded in clouds, so we couldn't see anything, but when we arrived at Senjojiki, the sky was blue. We could even see Mount Fuji beyond the sea of clouds on the Alps side. We walked around the Senjojiki cirque, and although there was still a lot of snow and it wasn't a flower field, we were able to see some amazing scenery. I'm glad I thoroughly researched my equipment and clothing beforehand. The ticket office wasn't crowded due to the time of year, but thanks to the ticket reservation, we were able to move around smoothly.

1. Our tour guide, Liu Mei, was very attentive and provided excellent service, explaining everything in detail. We chose our seats first upon arrival at the meeting point. 2. The drive from Nagoya to Kamikochi takes four hours, but there are rest stops along the way, so it's not too tiring. 3. We had a four-hour stop in Kamikochi. We chose Route A, which involved about an hour and a half of walking for photos. There's a restaurant near Kappa Bridge where we could have lunch. On the way to the hotel, our guide was very kind and even took us to a supermarket to stock up on food for tomorrow's lunch. When some members of our group were late for the meeting in Kamikochi, our guide apologized to us. 4. Although the hotel we stayed at was a bit old, the buffet had a good variety of dishes. There were also indoor and outdoor hot springs for bathing. 5. We met at 7:30 am the next day and departed for Ogisawa Station, which took about 50 minutes. The guide explained all the transportation options in detail. It was a pity that we couldn't see the snow walls at Murodo Station due to heavy fog… 6. The return trip from Tateyama Station to Nagoya also takes four hours, with rest stops along the way.
