The tour guide was enthusiastic and attentive, making every segment of the itinerary wonderful. Ample time was allocated for photos. The hotel had a hot spring, though it was a bit small, but it was very clean. Overall, I was satisfied with the trip and would definitely recommend it.
This trip includes most of the attractions in Tateyama Kurobe, and will not go to attractions such as Yakawa-go Takayama, for those who have been to other attractions before. The Shinkansen picks up the tour bus, so you don't have to bother with traffic all the way, and you have a guide, which is better than driving yourself. There were 2 groups to go, with the company and itinerary, almost 60 people, all Japanese, mainly middle-aged and elderly people. The guide will have to rely on Google translate to communicate the meeting time and place of each attraction. Overall, it was quite good. The weather was nice for 2 days. I was not in a hurry and could go there. The time for each attraction was reasonable, but the hotel was average.
Our guide, Xiao Ma, was excellent. He managed the time very well, provided clear explanations, and showed us all the stamping locations for the six modes of transportation. Please note that the area around Murodo, where you can view the snow walls, is extremely crowded, with long queues for food and drinks. Xiao Ma is very professional and suggests buying some food the day before to eat on the way up. There's plenty of time in the Gassho-zukuri village; we took the shuttle bus directly to the observation deck (300 yen per person per trip). I recommend taking this bus as it's fast and convenient. The driver was also excellent and safely delivered everyone to their destination.
This trip was absolutely fantastic! 💯 Our tour guide, Joe, was incredibly thoughtful and humorous, keeping the atmosphere great throughout the entire trip. He provided detailed explanations of each attraction, and the pacing was just right – not too rushed, and he made sure we saw everything we wanted to see! 👏 I even had a little mishap – I forgot my phone at the hotel! 😅 Thankfully, our guide was incredibly helpful, facilitating my retrieval – a lifesaver! 📱✨ The overall itinerary was meticulously planned, the scenery was beautiful, the experience was comfortable, and with our guide's amazing assistance, the whole trip was incredibly safe and enjoyable. I'll definitely choose Easy Go again for my next trip abroad! 👍
The itinerary for Tateyama Black was just right. The group tickets were handled by the tour guide, which was quick and convenient. As global warming becomes more and more serious, the height of the snow wall has decreased from 23 meters 20 years ago to 12 meters now.
