Kanazawa

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

First, I'd like to thank our tour guide, Ms. Anna, for leading us on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour on May 8th. From the moment we boarded the bus, she provided very detailed explanations and repeated them in both Chinese and English. It seemed like if there were Japanese participants, she might have even explained it in Japanese again. She was able to explain the origins of everything, from the history of Tateyama and its scenic spots to the herbs on the Chizushi bento box, which was truly impressive. Furthermore, during the tour, she would always be the first to arrive at the meeting point, holding her flag high, and would frequently offer helpful tips, such as information on limited-edition local products, seating areas, recommended seating positions on public transport, crowd control, and perfect timing. In short, she is a truly admirable person. Regarding the attractions, I honestly feel we were very lucky. I initially thought it would be a day ruined by heavy rain, as it was pouring heavily on the way to Tateyama Station... My heart sank at that moment. I thought, "How are we going to enjoy anything like this?" However, from Tateyama Station onwards, the rain stopped. Then, at Murodo, at a crucial moment, there was only fog and wind, but the visibility was still very good, making the experience uniquely enjoyable. The fog even created a snow-like, yet not quite snowy, atmosphere. Besides our own group, I saw many other tourists having a great time. Later, at Daikanbo, there was no rain or fog when we were at the observation deck or riding the ropeway. We were able to take in the entire panoramic view, which was truly breathtaking. Any photo taken there could easily be a postcard. At Kurobe Lake and Kurobe Dam, I had heard there would be significant rain, but by the time our group arrived at Kurobe Lake, the rain had stopped, and visibility was incredibly high. The unobstructed view of the dam was another kind of spectacular and magnificent sight. Was our group blessed with some special luck? Thank you to our tour guide and the hardworking driver. Watching him drive precisely and smoothly on the dark, winding roads on the way back showed his extensive experience. Most of the tourists, including myself, slept soundly. Thank you to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience on this one-day tour! I would definitely recommend this to friends who aspire to travel independently but also want an easy way to experience the Kurobe Tateyama Alpine Route.

Имахме страхотно преживяване по време на обиколката на Ширакава-го, Кенрокуен и Хигаши-Чая. Темпото беше малко забързано, но точно това ни трябваше, за да видим всички акценти само за един ден. Оценихме също така, че обиколката започна и приключи точно навреме. Огромни благодарности на нашия гид Сезар за много изчерпателната обиколка, ясните инструкции и полезните съвети за разглеждане на забележителности. Той свърши чудесна работа, като поддържаше всички по график. Поздравления и за Икеда-сан, нашия шофьор на автобус, за безопасното шофиране въпреки обилния снеговалеж и за любезното предоставяне на чадъра му. Туроператорът също така отговаряше много бързо на въпросите ни в WhatsApp, което направи всичко по-гладко. Като цяло, добре организирана обиколка и чудесен вариант, ако искате да покриете много за един ден.

Прекрасна обиколка с ентусиазиран екскурзовод 小Xi и безопасен японски шофьор. Големият автобус беше чист и удобен. Пейзажът по пътя беше красив. Всичко мина добре. Имахме голям късмет да имаме екскурзовод, който говореше ясно и даваше подробни инструкции, информация и препоръки както устно, така и чрез WhatsApp. Маршрутът беше отличен с достатъчно време на всяка спирка. Обиколката е самостоятелна, така че се насладихме на гъвкавостта да правим каквото искаме и да се разхождаме свободно въз основа на многото места, предложени от 小Xi, който ни изпрати точното местоположение в Google Maps чрез WhatsApp. Той също така предостави карти и даде предложения за храна. Отседнахме в хотел MyStays Kanazawa. Стаите са чисти и нови, но много малки. Двойното легло също е много малко за двама души. Най-добре е да поискате две отделни легла, когато резервирате тази обиколка. Закуската в хотела беше страхотна с голямо разнообразие от местни и континентални храни. Като цяло много ни хареса тази обиколка. Силно я препоръчваме пред еднодневна обиколка до Ширакаваго/Такаяма.

Прекарахме си страхотно. Нашият гид Кейта отдели време да ни даде много информация за историята. Направихме целодневна обиколка, която включваше рисуване на Дарума, и това беше забавно занимание и чудесен начин да видим части от Каназава. Определено бих препоръчал тази обиколка.

The guide was very friendly and happy to answer our every question. It was interesting to see the almost forgotten japanese crafts.

Каролина е страхотен екскурзовод. Тя е много знаеща, много приятелски настроена и достъпна. Силно я препоръчвам.

The trip, the people, the places, the food everything was so great. I just wish we had more time to explore deeper, time wasn’t enough other than that everything was great🙂I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

This tour was a lot of fun. Our tour guide Daniel was knowledgeable, confident, and took very good care of myself and the other guest. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants an in depth look inside Kanazawa.
