Do Indian passport holders need a visa?

Yes. A Japan tourist visa is required and is included in the package fee. We will share the document checklist after the booking is confirmed. Apply at least 30 days before departure as documentation is detailed.

Will I see the famous snow walls?

The snow walls are at their tallest in May at around 15 to 20 metres, slowly melting through to June. July departures still see lingering snow but the walls are much smaller. August departures may be largely snow-free, with the Alpine Route open only as a scenic crossing.

Are vegetarian and Jain meals available?

Yes. All dinners are at Indian or vegetarian restaurants in each city. Pure-veg breakfast options are arranged at the hotels. Onion and garlic-free Jain meals can be pre-arranged with 7 days notice. Hidden bonito and dashi are common in Japanese food, so we plan meals carefully.

Is the Alpine Route crossing physically demanding?

No. The crossing uses a sequence of seated transports including buses, ropeways, and trolley buses. The only walking is from one vehicle to the next and a short outdoor stretch at the Murodo snow walls.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. Expect 5 to 7 kilometres of walking per day on temple steps and metro stairs, and some long bullet train transfers with luggage. The Alpine Route day is on your feet for short outdoor stretches in cold weather.

Layered clothing, a heavy jacket and gloves for the Alpine Route even in May, a light rain jacket, comfortable walking shoes already broken in, a power adapter for the Japanese two-pin Type A socket, and any personal medication.

Can I extend the trip on my own?

Yes. Common add-ons include 2 nights in Hiroshima and Miyajima, a Mt Fuji ryokan night, or a Hokkaido leg. Speak to our consultant at the time of booking.
