Matsumoto

Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip. Our guide, Arpan, was attentive and professional, providing clear and thoughtful explanations. Although the journey to and from Tokyo was long, rest stops were arranged along the way, making it convenient to get off the bus, explore, and buy snacks. Kamikochi boasts beautiful scenery; the forest and flatland trails are easy to hike, and the lakes and mountains are breathtaking. Although the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route Snow Wall is nearing its end, it remains spectacular and unforgettable, well worth a visit.

We'll meet at the designated location at 8:00 AM (Ms. Zhang is our guide today). At 9:20 AM, we'll stop at a rest stop for restroom breaks, and arrive at Kamikochi around 11:30 AM. The guide will introduce the Kamikochi trails on the bus and confirm your drop-off points. We'll disembark at Taisho Pond, and all return buses will depart from the main bus terminal. The guide will walk with us from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, and will also introduce delicious apple pie, Azumino yogurt, and more on the bus. We'll meet at 3:00 PM to prepare for the return trip, which will include one more rest stop. We'll arrive back at Nagoya Station around 6:46 PM. Due to a landslide on National Route 158, buses will need to take a detour, adding a little extra time to the journey. Otherwise, everything is fine. The weather in Kamikochi is fantastic—the wind is refreshing, and the water is crystal clear—it's truly chill. Although we spent a lot of time on transportation, it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend trying the yogurt; it's incredibly delicious!

This trip to Kamikochi was very well planned. Although the round trip from Tokyo was nearly 10 hours, the rest stops and restroom breaks were well-arranged. The two drivers/guides explained the rest stops, meeting times, and travel conditions very clearly. Even though I don't understand Japanese, I could understand using a mobile phone translator. Meeting times were also clearly marked on the bus, which was very thoughtful and reassuring. There was ample time to relax and enjoy the scenery in Kamikochi without feeling rushed. The weather was great that day, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. It was a tiring but very worthwhile trip. 👍

The tour guide was very warm and friendly. I would definitely go again next time. The Gokochi is really beautiful and worth visiting again!

Yayoi Kusama's work is amazing. I can look at it over and over again.

Tour leader Xiao Guo kindly guided the group members, providing clear information on boarding and alighting times and the final bus stop. The scenery of Kamikochi is definitely worth visiting; we got off at Taisho Pond and began our walk through the forest, which was truly wonderful.
