Fantastic place, shoddy operator. No tour guide, driver only spoke Chinese, multiple friction points - 48 hours before my tour date I got a message that tour group could not be formed on April 8th so we needed to join the April 7th group, fine. 24 hours before the tour date, I got a message that Stalactite Cave will be skipped due to road closure, fine. We showed up on April 7th (after re-arranging my hotel and other tours) but there was not bus, just a small van, fine. But there was no tour guide! We were met by the driver who only spoke Chinese. He tried his best to talk to us via Whatsapp so we can translate our conversation to English! Took 3 hours to get to Shin-Hotaka Ropeway. Driver gave us tickets and left us on our own! He sent us a message in Whatsapp to come back by 3:30 PM. tl;dr: Shin-Hotaka Ropeway is a fabulous place. But I booked a tour and had certain expectations with my wife, perhaps it would have been better to ride the train instead.
