Ono District Zájezdy

On the day of our departure from Nagoya, we were very worried about the weather due to news of a typhoon. However, the tour proceeded as planned, and fortunately, when we arrived in Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, it wasn't raining, allowing us to truly enjoy our trip. I extend my sincere gratitude to our guide, Lim Ho, who kindly provided tour information in both Korean and Chinese during this tour with my husband. He meticulously shared not only the historical background of the region but also hidden culinary gems and must-try foods, which enriched our tour experience even further. The Hida beef sushi and sake coin tasting we enjoyed, thanks to our guide, were absolutely superb! Although the wait was a bit long, the soba noodles we had at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and the ice cream and soy sauce dango we savored for dessert... it made me understand why this tour is a must-do when visiting Nagoya. Shirakawa-go's Gassho-zukuri village in June was incredibly lush and green, making every photo look beautiful. Usually, when my husband and I travel, we only have individual photos because we're busy taking pictures of each other. However, thanks to Guide Lim Ho, who took wonderful commemorative photos for us, we were able to capture precious couple photos and create great memories together. It was a perfect tour, making our weather worries seem unfounded. Thank you once again!

Our guide, Tao, was very patient and has been deeply involved with Japan for 20 years, so he has a great understanding of Japanese culture. My navigation was a bit off, but Tao patiently guided me to the parking lot. The parking lot was on a slope, and my navigation led me behind it, making me think there was no road.😅 Sorry for the trouble! It rained on the way there and back today, but luckily the weather was clear and sunny during our sightseeing.☀️ We arrived in Takayama at 10:30 AM. Takayama Old Town has many interesting small shops. We passed by Takayama Betsuin and also visited Takayama Jinya, the only existing county magistrate's office in Japan. Around 1:00 PM, we had a Hida beef set meal for lunch. At 1:55 PM, we arrived at Shirakawa-go Gassho Village. The village architecture, with its thatched-roof wooden houses, was truly impressive. We departed at 3:25 PM for Nagoya. The itinerary was excellent and saved us the hassle of traveling on our own.

Shirakawa-go and Takayama Tour is one of the best tours you can get in Nagoya. The tour consists of going to Takayama with some guided excursions. The orientation while inside the bus with the maps provided by the guide was enough for us to be well-guided with the best places to go in Takayama and Shirakawa-go. This tour provided observation deck access, which allowed us to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The tour in Takayama is one of the best tours we had since we were able to roam freely. In Shirakawa-go, we were also able to roam freely.

Cici byla skvělá průvodkyně, plynule mluvila 3 jazyky a dala nám svobodu buď ji následovat, nebo prozkoumávat sami. V Gujo Hachiman jsme se cítili trochu uspěchaně, ale zbytek cesty jsme měli spoustu času na prozkoumávání. Jet na takovýto zájezd je mnohem levnější než cestovat sám.

Vzhledem k tomu, že tato místa jsou od Nagoje vzdálena více než dvě hodiny jízdy autem, rozhodně se vyplatí připojit se k místnímu zájezdu. Průvodce byl vynikající – zodpovědný, dobře organizovaný a poskytl dostatek volného času, což bylo na návštěvu více než dost. Nejvíce se mi líbila první zastávka, rozhodně stojí za výlet. Místo setkání „Stříbrné hodiny“ se velmi snadno najde a mapy a návrhy poskytnuté průvodcem byly podrobné a snadno se podle nich orientovalo. Založili také skupiny na WhatsAppu a WeChatu, aby zajistili bezproblémovou komunikaci po celý den.

Prohlídka byla úžasná, naše průvodkyně Kana byla super přátelská a poskytla všechny informace předem už cestou, takže když dorazíte, už víte, co upřednostnit, a máte mapu, abyste se snadno zorientovali. Prohlídka začíná brzy, ale pak, když dorazíte, není tak přeplněno, což je příjemné. Je lepší řídit se jejím doporučením a jít nejdříve na observatoř, když jsem tam šel po příjezdu, bylo tam skoro prázdno, ale o hodinu později už bylo super plno a tak to pokračovalo po zbytek dne. Oběd byl skvělý a příjemná příležitost vyzkoušet tradiční oběd. Obě místa byla upřímně dechberoucí a měli jsme obrovské štěstí na super slunečný den. Autobus byl také skvělý a bylo upřímně příjemné nemuset desetkrát kontrolovat veřejné informace o dopravě, abych se ujistil, že jedu správným směrem :). Celkově si myslím, že zážitek rozhodně stojí za to, pokud jste v této oblasti!

It’s our first international trip and we don’t regret availing this tour package as we really enjoyed the places we’ve been to. Maxwell is very patient as he needs to speak two languages (korean english). He’s very accommodating and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the history of each places. The travel was very smooth and safe. We really appreciate his effort for dropping us by a shoe shop after the tour. Will definetly look for him again when we come back to explore more places in Japan.

nejkrásnější místo, které jsem v Japonsku navštívil. Trek pro začátečníky/první návštěvníky, na který je vyhrazeno 1,5 hodiny, je více než dost času na pořízení fotografií/videí po cestě a dosažení mostu, kde jsou restaurace. Zde si můžete dát oběd. Vyzkoušejte jablečný koláč a jablečnou zmrzlinu.

I highly recommend using the hotel transfer service, especially when traveling with elderly family members and children. The service provider was very thoughtful in asking about our needs and offered direct pick-up and drop-off at the hotel entrance. Because we had a stroller, they even upgraded our vehicle. Our driver, Mr. Lin, was also very friendly, and his driving skills were excellent and safe. The entire trip to our destination took about two hours, which was just right for us to enjoy some free time before meeting back at the drop-off point for our return. Overall, I highly recommend this service.
