Wonderful experience

It was a packed 1-night, 2-day trip, but it turned out to be a wonderful journey without any dull moments. The snow corridor at the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was particularly impressive! We were blessed with good weather, and every photo we took came out beautifully. I would love to go again.1泊2日の強行軍でしたが、逆に間延びのしないぎっしり詰まった素晴らしい旅行となりました。
特に立山黒部アルペンルートの雪の大谷は圧巻の迫力！天気にも恵まれ、どんな写真を撮っても綺麗に撮れました。
また行きたいなと思いました。

Initially, I planned to go on my own, but the online individual reservations for the Alpine Route's transportation tickets were already sold out, so I gave up. I looked for other options since major tours were either sold out or did not fit my schedule, and that's when I found this one.

Not only did we visit Kurobe and Tateyama, but we also efficiently toured Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in a 2-day, 1-night trip, and I was very satisfied.

Not only did we visit Kurobe and Tateyama, but we also efficiently toured Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in a 2-day, 1-night trip, and I was very satisfied. The bus drivers were two Japanese individuals who drove perfectly. They maintained smiles, ensured safety during boarding and alighting, and even helped with luggage, providing a very reassuring Japanese-style hospitality.

The guide, Liu, was also very good with time management and announcements. I usually travel independently, but I was glad to use a bus tour this time. The other tour members were all visitors to Japan besides my family, but everyone adhered to the schedule and rules, and there were no noisy people. 最初は自分で行こうと計画していたが、アルペンルートの乗り物WEB切符のオンライン個人予約がすでに完売していたので断念。
大手のツアーは完売もしくは日程が合わず、他を探していたところ、こちらを見つけた。
黒部立山だけでなく、飛騨高山、白川郷もまで、1泊2日で効率よく周ることができ大満足。
バスのドライバーさんは日本人の2人体制で、完璧な運転。笑顔を絶やさず、乗り降りの際の安全確認、荷物の上げ下ろしまでしてくれて、日本流のおもてなしで非常に安心。
