The tour guide Mr. Deng Kai is very responsible. The pace is not too fast and the time is well controlled. The rest stops along the way are also easy to visit. The bus driver drives very steadily and does not feel dizzy. The itinerary is free and comfortable😌. Food and accommodation are provided. It has a certain standard, the rooms and hot springs are very clean, and it’s a great value for just over 10,000 yuan per person! What you really need to pay attention to is that if there is a traffic jam on the return trip on the weekend, it may be almost 10 o'clock when you arrive in Shinjuku. If you are staying far away from Shinjuku, you have to pay attention to the time.

Great tour to the alpine snow wall from Tokyo. Slightly rush per location but generally still quite worth it.

Ms Kwok 郭小姐 is a very helpful, enthusiastic guide! This trip is very smooth, very convenient for first comers. Meet up point is easy to find, with a detailed email guiding prior the trip. In the 3 hours drive, we have a toilet stop for food and washroom break. The scenic trail is very breathtaking, you must not miss in Nagoya.

The itinerary was well organized, Kamikochi was beautiful, and the weather was also very good that day. A lot of the snow on Tateyama Kurobe's large snow wall has melted, leaving only a low wall, which was a bit disappointing. I advise those who want to go there to go in April-May. The Uuchi Hot Spring Hotel is very popular, the rooms are large, and the hot springs have both outdoor and indoor facilities. I am very satisfied!

I highly recommend this excursion in fact the guide speaks Chinese but made the effort to translate everything for us, she was really kind to us. We are there for 3 hours which gives us time to enjoy the landscape and the monkeys.

The weather was sunny both days, and the scenery along the way to the Kappa Bridge was beautiful. Although the snow wall at Tateyama Kurobe was not too high, there were surprises. Because we went there on a weekday, there were many tourists. The hot spring hotel I stayed in was very good, the room was large and very clean, there were many buffet dinners and breakfast buffets, and the dining area was large. There are not many people in the public hot springs, so 10 minutes of soaking is enough. Originally, the itinerary stated that we would depart at 8 a.m., but the tour guide said we could depart at 10 a.m., so we walked around by ourselves. There are hot springs everywhere in the hot spring area. This is a travel experience out of my expectation.

Had a really pleasant 2D1N trip to visit Kamikochi and Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route :) Tour guide conversed in Chinese but all was still good. Due to the peak season and hotel shortage they changed the hotel to a different hotel but it was still an enjoyable trip visiting the full alpine route.
