Kurobe

Very convenient, as it covers the Shinkansen, JR lines, and JR buses within the area. We used it from Shin-Osaka to Toyama, Toyama to Kanazawa, and Kanazawa to Kyoto, and all the JR buses within Kanazawa were available. Unfortunately, we didn't use the Kyoto-Osaka pass because our luggage was too heavy and we opted to take the Keihan Railway.

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. 🥰

This two-day tour of Tateyama Kurobe was a fantastic experience and highly recommended! Although the tour was guided in Japanese, I was initially a little worried about language barriers, but it didn't affect the tour at all. The itinerary was excellent, and transportation was extremely smooth, with seamless transfers between cable cars and buses. The guide was incredibly kind and helpful, using expressive body language, thoughtful time reminders, and smiles to take care of everyone, making us feel completely at ease. The sights were unforgettable! Witnessing the magnificent snow walls and Kurobe Reservoir firsthand is still deeply etched in my memory. Language was no barrier; the beautiful scenery and excellent service were the main attractions. Highly recommended!

Tateyama Kurobe two-day and one-night tour, including four meals, the meals are acceptable. However and the schedule is a bit rushed. And to change many modes of transportation. Hotel was quite nice, comfortable;clean
