The tour starts from where you like and ends where you like. It is possible to do this because the tour is done by car.
There are attractive sites, but they are dispersed in the countryside.
So I have planned this tour for tourists using a car.
Let's go to where it is difficult to access!

About Tour Guide Yuta W.
I live in Takaoka city in Toyama area, right next to Kanazawa area.
I know the Hokuriku region has lots of attractive points, so I live in here.
But these area are still developing area for sightseeing because it is a little difficult to see around by yourselves especially when you come for the first time.
Since I moved into this area, I've been working as a guide in this region.
So why don't you join my tour when you come to the Hokuriku region?

“Tateyama Alpine Route”
We had a really good tour arranged by Yuta. We had some practical challenges in connection with our trip along the Tateyama Alpine route. Yuta helped us arrange the tour so it was a really good experience. During the trip, Yuta told us many interesting things about Japan, including about daily life and Japanese culture. We thank you for an exciting and well-arranged tour.
