Ting at lave i Gifu Prefecture

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.

Jeg nød virkelig denne tur. Nancy er super vidende og delte en masse interessant information. Det var muligt at efterlade ting i bussen ved forskellige stop, hvilket gjorde sightseeing meget mere afslappende.

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 var en fantastisk guide, hun talte flydende 3 sprog, og hun gav os frihed til at følge hende rundt eller udforske på egen hånd. Det føltes lidt forhastet i Gujo Hachiman, men resten af turen følte vi, at vi havde masser af tid til at udforske. At tage på en tur som denne er langt billigere end at rejse alene.

Da disse steder ligger over to timer fra Nagoya i bil, er det absolut værd at deltage i en lokal tur. Guiden var fremragende – ansvarlig, velorganiseret og gav masser af fritid, hvilket var mere end nok til besøget. Jeg elskede det første stop mest, det er turen værd. Mødestedet 'Silver Clock' er meget let at finde, og kortene og forslagene fra guiden var detaljerede og nemme at følge. De oprettede også WhatsApp- og WeChat-grupper for at sikre problemfri kommunikation hele dagen.

Turen var fantastisk, vores guide Kana var super venlig og gav al information på forhånd undervejs, så når man ankommer, ved man allerede, hvad man skal prioritere, og har et kort til nemt at komme rundt. Turen starter tidligt, men når man så ankommer, er der ikke så mange mennesker, hvilket er rart. Det er bedst at følge hendes anbefaling og gå til observatoriet først; da jeg ankom, var det næsten tomt, men en time senere var det super fyldt, og det fortsatte sådan resten af dagen. Frokosten var fantastisk og en god mulighed for at prøve en traditionel frokost. Begge steder var ærligt talt betagende, og vi var super heldige at have en super solrig dag. Bussen var også fantastisk, og det var ærligt talt rart ikke at skulle tjekke offentlig transportinformation 10 gange for at sikre, at jeg kørte i den rigtige retning :). Alt i alt synes jeg, at oplevelsen er det værd, hvis du er i området!

The Nagoya Inuyama Castle & Magome-juku Full-Day Cultural Tour had a well-planned itinerary and offered a great cultural experience. The places we visited were beautiful and worth seeing, especially for those interested in history and traditional Japanese towns. It was quite hot during the tour, which made the day a bit tiring, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the cultural and historical side of the Nagoya area.

Ordering was very convenient, and I highly recommend this trip. The time allocation was very sufficient! Our guide this time was Vivian, a very enthusiastic and professional guide. In addition to questions about the itinerary itself, she also provided or answered questions about Nagoya travel information. It was great! I will definitely book similar trips again and hope that Vivian will be the guide!
