After meeting your tour conductor, you will board a comfortable coach and begin your journey into the Japanese Alps. Along the way, we’ll make a short stop at a highway service area. Please note that lunch is not included and since the stop at a highway service area is only for a short restroom break, we strongly recommend purchasing your lunch in advance. Your destination is Kamikochi, a breathtaking mountain valley often called Japan’s most beautiful alpine resort. Here, the crystal-clear Azusa River flows beneath the iconic Kappa Bridge, framed by towering peaks of the Hotaka range. Stroll along gentle riverside paths, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and admire the seasonal scenery—fresh greenery in spring, wildflowers in summer, and misty forests on rainy days. Whether you choose to relax by the water or explore the trails, Kamikochi offers a serene escape into nature that feels worlds away from the city.

After your Kamikochi adventure, you’ll travel to Toyama, where you’ll check in at APA Hotel Toyama-Ekimae or a similar class hotel (APA Hotel Toyama-Ekimae Minami). Your room will be a Western-style single, double, or twin with a private bath and toilet for your comfort. This business hotel also features a large public bath and an open-air bath, perfect for relaxing after a day in the mountains. The hotel’s central location means you’ll have plenty of options for dining and shopping nearby, allowing you to enjoy the city at your leisure before the next day’s adventure. Please note that, due to room availability, even if you’ve booked a twin room, you may be assigned separate single rooms. While there is no dinner included, you have the flexibility to choose from a variety of nearby dining options.
