Review for: Nagoya to Takayama Service (Departing from Nagoya)

Bus stop was easy to find. It was just at the back of animate and there was a FamilyMart nearby where we bought some drinks for our trip. bus was comfortable and they provided a blanket. Multiple Pitstops were available during the trip. The bus was on time and we arrived at Takayama a bit earlier than expected

Review for: Nagoya to Takayama Service (Departing from Takayama)

Pick-up was easy to find since it was where we were dropped-off when we took a bus from takayama to shirakawa-go. Pin here in klook was also accurate. Bus was comfortable they provided us with a blanket and the bus seats were reclinable. The bus had a bathroom in it but we were given some pitstops along the way so that we could use the toilet or buy snacks for our trip.

After checking your name with the driver, you can get on the bus. Your seat has been arranged. There will be two rest stops along the way for about 15 minutes where you can go to the toilet or buy things. The vehicle is new and clean, and you can reach your destination comfortably.

Review for: Roundtrip between Nagoya and Takayama/ Shirakawa-go

You can check your reservation details and use the bus right from the driver at the Meitetsu Station VIP bus stop. The driver was a very good driver, so I went to Shirakawa-go comfortably. I stop by a rest area once in a while on my way home, and it was a new experience as it was my first time stopping by a highway rest area in Japan. Shirakawago is without a doubt the best. The seats are small, so it's a bit inconvenient to travel for a long time, but I recommend it because it's the best value for money compared to buying a ticket for the express bus yourself!

預約方便,在klook買完,到時比個code比車務員就可以跟佢安排的座位坐好。巴士站都易揾,建議預早小小到,因佢好準時開車。巴士坐位略窄,不過都乾淨同有腳踏,又有厠所,力推!

The bus stop is very clear, the driver helps with luggage, and booking is very convenient. You just need to show the driver the ticket page. There will be two rest stops along the way, so you don't have to worry about not finding a restroom.

Review for: Nagoya to Shirakawa-go Service (Departing from Shirakawa-go)

At noon, we went from Shirakawa-go to Takayama/Nagoya, using the same car and aircraft that left Nagoya in the morning. Getting off at Takayama Hida Hotel Plaza is closer to JR Takayama Station.

Review for: 나고야~다카야마/시라카와고 왕복

I used the Shirakawago round-trip transfer service yesterday. If you search for Nagoya VIP Liner bus stop on Google Maps, you will see a parking tower building and there is a small stop sign in front of it. After confirming your name with the driver, you will be assigned a seat and board. (Seats are already assigned). As is typical of Japanese buses, there is a small restroom inside and blankets are provided at each seat. Stops at the rest area a total of 2 times. Arrival time is approximately the same as advised. It was full when I left, but there was plenty of room when I came back. It takes some time due to the stop in Takayama, but if you just want to use the bus service and not the tour, you will be satisfied.

Review for: Nagoya to Takayama Service (Departing from Nagoya)

I completed the Nagoya to Shirakawa-go bus tour yesterday and was very satisfied with the experience. First of all, the bus driver was very polite. Although we had a language barrier, I was able to communicate smoothly using Google Translate. The bus schedule was well-managed, and we arrived at each stop on time. The bus was very clean and comfortable. Overall, the trip was comfortable and satisfying.
