I seldom leave reviews, but this experience with the guide Yoshi-San was unforgettable. The tour is very well organised with a comfortable pace. Our guide and driver made it extra special with stopovers and wealth of information about Hida region and Japanese culture. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time and want to experience the best of Japanese Alps. Thank you Yoshi-san until next time we meet again.

We had a beautiful blue sky day, the alpine views were amazing. The ropeway was excellent. The river/lake walk was beautiful. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed the exercise.

The natural sights were excellent to see. The observation deck at the end of the ropeway happened to overlook the clouds which made it a sight to behold. Add in the lack of clouds in Kamikochi and it was very picturesque.
Our guide, Yoshi, was fantastic offering us little tidbits of information as we travelled and answered any questions we had to ask.

Book this tour and save yourself the hassle of having to navigate all the modes of transport yourself! A friendly guide will take you through the ropeway and Kamikochi, allowing a good amount of time at each and a smooth journey where you can just enjoy yourself. The views at the ropeway are unreal and Kamikochi is stunning.

We had a wonderful time! We believe the tour was very well worth going because we saw so much natural beauty that we would not have been able to see otherwise. We also had a very knowledgeable tour guide.

Well structured tour of Japan’s alpine scenery that exceeded expectations. Our guide Hemii was born in New Zealand and has lived in Takayama for 5 years. He was a fountain of knowledge about the history, geology and biodiversity of the area. He was also attentive to the needs of different members of our group, and structured the program accordingly. All in all - a 5 star experience and good value for money.

For our tour, our guide was very knowledgeable. Took us up the rope way and gave us a history of the area, before taking a walking tour of the tamikochi area. We were the only ones booked for the day so had the guide to ourselves, so we could set the pace of our tour. Highly recommend this company.
