Aichi Day trips

Participating in the Kamikochi day tour led by guide Ms. Zuo Sha was, overall, an unforgettable and highly recommended trip. The natural scenery of Kamikochi is truly stunning, and especially on a first visit, one always wants to seize the opportunity to walk further and see more. Before departure, the tour guide thoughtfully provided two route options, A and B, and kindly suggested that first-time visitors start with Option A, which goes from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge. However, because I loved the scenery of Kamikochi so much, after finishing Option A I still wanted to challenge Option B and walked all the way to Myojin Pond. As a result, I failed to manage my return time properly, causing everyone to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes. I am truly sorry to the guide, my fellow group members, and the driver who worked hard to pick us up and drop us off. Especially considering that Japan has strict regulations regarding the working hours of professional drivers, my delay may have increased the driver's workload, which makes me feel even more apologetic. I am also extremely grateful for everyone's patience and understanding. Additionally, although there were some minor communication hiccups during this trip, I deeply appreciate the guide's subsequent attitude and adjustments. She not only proactively showed care, but I could also feel her sincere desire to improve her service. In truth, the service industry is never easy; whether it is the tour guide or the driver, every link requires mutual cooperation. Good service is worth recognizing, and travelers should also offer a little more understanding and empathy. Finally, thank you to the guide for taking care of us along the way, and thank you to the driver for the hard work and safe transportation. This trip to Kamikochi not only allowed me to enjoy beautiful scenery, but also gave me much to reflect upon. Highly recommended!

It was a worthwhile experience. The meeting place at VIP bus liner is accessible from our Sakae hotel. Punctuality means 30 minutes earlier as the bus leaves right on time. If you want to explore food on your own choose without lunch as the booked lunch was served past 2pm . We enjoyed hida beef skewers at Takayama and the grilled Hida beef at Shira kawago, it was soooo good my 11 years old definitely loved it. Shout out to our very accommodating guide Mr. BARA-SAN, thank you for sharing the history, culture and practices of the places we went to.

This was a very good tour, and every place felt so distinct and beautiful to look at. I wasn't bored even once! The tour guide (I forgot her name) was very caring and fun to listen to. Takayama City felt a little rushed, but I think that was because we visited two different places in the same day, so it wasn't a big deal. Finally, the Hida beef was delicious—you have to try it!

Thanks to our guide Max, this tour was wonderful because we were able to visit Shirakawago, Takayama, and Gujo Hachiman—places I really wanted to see—all in just one day! It was so convenient to easily visit spots that would otherwise be a hassle to reach independently, and each region had its own unique atmosphere, making it a lot of fun to explore 😊 Anyone who loves nature and the countryside will be very satisfied with this tour! The guide was also friendly and gave great explanations, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks to you, I made many wonderful memories 🥰 I would definitely love to use this tour again the next time I visit another destination. It was a well-planned and satisfying tour. Highly recommended! 👍

excellent tour with a good pace, 5 hour tour in the Ghibli Park was more than enough to explore the must see sights. Unforunately the entry ticket for Howl's moving castle was sold out on the day of visit, but it still was a nice experience to immerse yourself in the world of Studio Ghibli. Only a small fee to enter Witches' house etc, but it was worth it if you wish to see the house in real life. the frand warehouse has a little threatre and the 20 min show was excellent. Our Guide, Satomi was friendly and has been very attentive, she explained every must remember points for our tour. Also, Punctunality is a key in this tour, if you missed the meet up time, then the group will leave without you

Had a wonderful time on this nature trip! 🌿🌳 The fresh air, beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking views made every moment special. A perfect escape from the busy routine and a beautiful reminder of how amazing nature is. Also our tourguide is pretty cool and approachable ☺️ Truly refreshing and unforgettable! 💚✨

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.

Really impressive itinerary and plenty of time in every location. Weather was a bit rainy, but it made the atmosphere iven more special. Enjoyed it a lot! Guide Han is super nice and gave plenty of information about the places we are visiting but also about Nagoya.

The tour guide was very friendly and provided detailed introductions to the features and history of each attraction while patiently answering our questions. The entire trip was also very comfortable, taking us to three locations related to Japanese culture (Zen Buddhism and flower viewing). We had plenty of free time to explore and take photos. Aside from the time spent at Korankei being just a little too long, everything else was well-paced. We went in early November, so the autumn leaves were not yet in full bloom, with only some turning yellow or red, but we were still able to enjoy the four-season cherry blossoms. The night view at Korankei was also very beautiful and well worth a visit (mid-to-late November would probably be even better!).
