Kamikochi Independent Day Tour in Japan | Round-trip from Nagoya - Bookable for 1 person
This trip offered excellent value for money, greatly solving our transportation problems to and from Kamikochi. We were also very grateful for the good weather. Our guide that day was Liu Mei, whose extensive knowledge of Nagoya was evident. Her explanations were very detailed, and she managed the day's activities well, allowing us ample time to explore Kamikochi. We are very grateful to Liu Mei for her care and assistance that day. The driver was also very experienced, perfectly handling any oncoming traffic. This is a highly recommended trip.

This airport pick-up and half-day car rental package is so convenient! No need to drag your luggage to the hotel to drop it off first. You can go straight to the hotel after playing for half a day, saving time and energy. Thumbs up!

Japan Alps Kamikochi Day Tour|Departure from Nagoya|Nagano
On the way there, we stopped at the Hirugano Service Area for a break. On the way back, we stopped once at a parking area that only had a restroom. I wish we could have stopped at the Hirugano Service Area again on the way back, or at least somewhere with a convenience store. However, thanks to that, we arrived at Nagoya Station before 6:30 PM, much earlier than our original 7:00 PM schedule, which was good. In Kamikochi, almost everything only accepts cash, so I recommend bringing cash. It's easy to get to Kamikochi, so I recommend it.
