Matsumoto

The long journey was inevitable, and a two-day round trip to Tokyo and Tateyama Kurobe is inherently tiring. However, the scenery in Kamikochi and Tateyama Kurobe was truly breathtaking; every photo looked like a postcard. There were a few minor hiccups along the way, but overall the trip went smoothly. Especially in Tateyama, there are many different modes of transportation, and the tour guide checked boarding times, allowing everyone to enjoy the scenery and take photos at the stops – very relaxing. Although the return trip was about 5 hours, everyone was tired after descending the mountain, so the journey didn't feel very long as we instinctively slept on the bus. I must also recommend the hotel; it was incredibly comfortable, with an onsen (hot spring) area, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. Thank you to the tour guide for leading the way! I'm grateful for this wonderful trip.

The driver is very helpful with the luggages, is early, and very polite. The van is very comfortable.

Although the overall travel time was long, the actual experience wasn't painful, with rest stops on both the outward and return journeys. Upon arriving at Kamikochi, we had nearly three and a half hours. Even the kids, who are usually indifferent to scenery, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's quite beautiful!" 😆 We walked, stopped frequently to take photos, let the kids touch the water, and had short breaks to eat our packed lunches. The walk from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge took about two and a half hours, a relaxed and pleasant pace. The scenery is beautiful, highly recommended!

You can see the Yayoi Kusama permanent exhibition. You can take pictures of the pumpkins. It wasn't crowded, probably because it was a weekday. We were able to park in the museum's parking lot.

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!

I rarely take day tours, but this one was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Amy, spoke both Mandarin and English, making communication very smooth. She also thoughtfully created her own maps and provided pictures to show us the various attractions and how to get there. Worried that she might not be able to explain things clearly and might get lost, she offered personal consultation time after her explanations. She was a very attentive guide. The driver was also excellent. Due to recent earthquakes and landslides, he had to take a detour, but he still got us back to Nagoya around 6:30 PM. 👍

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.
