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!
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.
