A day in the middle of Aug. this summer, we ran a chartered bus round trip from Shinanomachi in Nagano Pref. to Mt. Norikuradake in Kita-Alps.
The customers were the residents of the second house community in Shinanomachi, where our company, LAMPYA, is based.
Mt. Norikuradake has a height of 3026m and consists of many peaks and ponds. It is an excellent high mountain suitable for a wide range of people, families, beginners, older people, etc. Though private cars can only reach Norikura Kanko Center Bus Terminal on the way, only buses can reach Tatamiodaira Bus Terminal, Japan’s highest bus terminal, at 2702m. Many visitors leave their cars early in the morning at Norikura Kanko Bus Terminal and change to the shuttle buses. It usually takes two or three days to climb Mt. Norikuradake because accommodation is needed. We provide chartered bus services, which have a day trip possible from around Nagano city, about 140km from Norikuradake.
Our trip started at 5:00 am in Shinanomachi and arrived directly at Tatamidaira Bus Terminal at 8:40 am. This convenient service eliminates the need for overnight accommodation, making your travel planning stress-free.
After enjoying over five hours of trekking on Mt. Norikuradake, our customers returned to Shinanomachi at 6:30 pm, ensuring a timely and convenient end to their adventurous day.
