Reviews
This was a wonderful tour. I would not only highly recommend this tour for Your Name fans, but also to those that want to see an area of Japan most tourists don’t travel to. We had a great time, a tasty lunch, and got to do the traditional thread weaving you see in the movie. The tour guide was amazing. An A+ tour.
The ancient town in Takayama is very beautiful. The tour guide is very familiar with the anime filming locations and even helped us find the exact spots of many scenes for taking photos. The itinerary is relaxing, one day is plenty, anime fans must not miss it, great value!
Wonderful day in Takayama! The guide showed us the locations from Your Name and told us many interesting facts about the city. The atmosphere was peaceful and well-organized, highly recommended to all anime fans.
Hida-Furukawa is like walking right into a movie. The canals with koi, the bridge scenes, the train station, it all felt so real. Our guide was enthusiastic and knew all the best angles for photos. A must for any Your Name fan!
Takayama is such a charming town, and our guide made it even better by pointing out all the anime spots. We ate hida beef skewers, wandered the old streets and caught the sunset at the river. Highly recommended!
Wonderful tour of Takayama with an anime-passionate guide. The old town is charming and we were able to spot several scenes from Your Name. Very well organized day, I highly recommend it.
The Hie Shrine was a truly wonderful place, calm and peaceful with a great history. The guide shared the connection to the film, and we were given time to explore at our own pace. Highly recommended!
Hie Shrine was serene and beautiful. The staircase and the torii looked like they came out of the movie, and the guide gave us a nice backstory. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Takayama.
As a huge Your Name fan, this tour was a dream. Our guide knew every filming spot, and Takayama's old town is just so charming. Great photos, great pacing and she was super friendly. Definitely recommend for anime fans!
The historic town streets in the mountains have such an amazing vibe! Our tour guide took us through the filming locations of Your Name and The Secret World of Arrietty, which made me, an anime fan, so happy. The itinerary was very relaxed, the timing was just right, and I highly recommend it to all anime fans!
