Gifu Prefecture

Our tour guide, Mr. Zheng, provided excellent service 👍. He thoroughly explained the highlights and unique features of each attraction and clearly communicated even small details, such as where we would have lunch. I hope I have the opportunity to tour with Mr. Zheng again in the future. Thank you 🙏.

Such a great tour with good enthusiastic guide 小Xi and safe Japanese driver. Big coach was clean and comfortable. The scenery along the way was beautiful. Everything went well. We were very lucky to have a guide who spoke clearly and gave detailed instructions, information and recommendations both verbally and through WhatsApp. The itinerary was excellent with sufficient time at every stop. The tour is self-guided so we enjoyed the flexibility to do what we want and roam around freely based on the many places suggested by 小Xi who WhatsApp the exact location on Google maps to us. He also provided maps and gave food suggestions. We stayed at Hotel MyStays Kanazawa. Rooms are clean and new but very small. Double bed is also very small for two people. Best to ask for twin beds when booking this tour. Breakfast at the hotel was great with a wide spread of local and continental food. Overall we enjoyed this tour very much. Highly recommend this over a day tour to Shirakawago/Takayama.

Our guide, Tomika, was very attentive and managed our time very well. I was glad that she was our tour guide. The itinerary was superb and worth the price. I want to try the same itinerary but this coming spring to see the snow wall! I hope Tomika will be my tour guide again! 💖

We had a blast! Elli took care of us. He was very patient and made sure we enjoyed our time skiing. Tour guides had helmets and gloves for rent while socks and face masks for purchase. Hassle-free! An icing on the cake is Fujisan decided to show up! One for the books.

We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very informative and spoke excellent English, which made the experience smooth and engaging. Bokka no Sato is definitely a great place to visit from Nagoya—perfect for kids and kids at heart! Highly recommended!

The bus is a convenient way to get there and spend a day at the ski resort. Bus driver was courteous and meeting point easy to locate.

Overall, this stay was a good experience. The hotel has a convenient location, the room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. The service staff were friendly, check-in and check-out were handled efficiently, and basic needs were met.

This trip was to visit Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, and to revisit Takayama. My previous stay here was quite good, so I specifically booked Takayama Ouan again. They offer ramen as a late-night snack, and the hot springs are also excellent. It was a very pleasant stay.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Takayama Station. You can walk to the Showa-era Takayama Old Town in 10 minutes, and then go to the Miyagawa Morning Market the next day. The rooms are large and well-equipped, and the kitchen supplies and washer/dryer are convenient!
