Participating in this tour on 9/11 was truly the best decision, and we didn't even have to transfer. Our Chinese-speaking guide, Yu (Yukino), was fantastic! Not only did she take great photos, but she also introduced us to many must-visit spots in the old town of Takayama and the shops in Shirakawa-go. On the way back, she even recommended must-try dishes in Nagoya and provided links. Highly recommend! The meeting point was also very clear. Although it was raining in the city, this was truly an amazing experience. The weather wasn't hot, and when we arrived at Shirakawa-go, it wasn't raining and was even sunny! The Hida beef is a must-try and absolutely delicious, even if a little oily, it's a rare experience. I recommend choosing the option that includes lunch!

This was my first time joining a Klook one-day tour to famous Japanese attractions. The meeting time was neither too early nor too late, and the location was easy to find. However, on these tours, participants don't know each other, so I believe it would be fairest if the tour guide or your company assigned specific seats to each member in advance. On the day of our tour, we arrived 30 minutes early, checked in with the guide, and learned the tour bus hadn't arrived yet. Since there were so many people, we waited elsewhere, which unfortunately led to us boarding the bus very late and ending up almost at the back. As for the schedule, the time spent at each attraction was acceptable. The tour guide was very responsible, recommending popular must-try products and even planning a route for Shirakawa-go for our reference.

this was one of the highlights of my trip. three locations in one day. Shirakawago was stunning even during summer. Takayama considered the "little Kyoto" gave a peaceful vibe as well as the famous waterway at the Gujo Hachiman. I really enjoyed this whole day trip. Our guide, Ritsuki was very friendly and accommodating. Kudos 👏🏻 💐

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!

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.

Since these locations are over two hours from Nagoya by car, it is definitely worth joining a local tour. The guide was excellent—responsible, well-organized, and provided plenty of free time, which was more than enough for the visit. I loved the first stop the most, it is well worth the trip.
The 'Silver Clock' meeting point is very easy to find, and the maps and suggestions provided by the guide were detailed and easy to follow. They also set up WhatsApp and WeChat groups to ensure seamless communication throughout the day.

Our tour guide, Liu Mei, and our Brazilian-Japanese driver took us on a day trip today to Hida Takayama, and then to Shirakawa-go. We are incredibly grateful to Ms. Liu and the driver because when we spontaneously asked to visit a museum in Hida, they showed the utmost consideration and helped us make it happen. This has truly been the most memorable experience of our trip to Japan so far. The guide was clear, and the driver drove very safely, making every effort to ensure everyone was comfortable throughout the journey. We also learned a lot, thank you! We highly recommend this day trip; my wife loved it too :))

Cici was a great guide, she was fluent in 3 languages, she gave us freedom to follow her around or to explore by ourselves. Felt a bit rushed in gujo hachiman, but the rest felt we had much much spare time to explore. Going with a tour like these is way cheaper than going by yourself.

My group of 6pax have enjoyed our 2D1N tour of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, we were especially fortunate to have such an excellent guide in Ms Zhang, 张静娟. Our itinerary was well scheduled and Ms Zhang's detailed explanation of the places that we're visiting is clear and precise. She has also advised us of the nice local food that we should try. The 6 different transportation is an experience as we crossed the Alps and the mountains to reach the snow walls. The highest point of the wall was 11m, unfortunately, it was raining when we reached the snow wall, our photos was alittle blurry and wet but our excitement has compensated for the weather 😂

More about Takayama Tours
What to expect
Tours in Takayama typically offer a relaxed way to explore the city’s historic streets, local crafts, and nearby rural scenery. These experiences suit travellers who enjoy guided storytelling, cultural context and easy-paced walking; they’re generally accessible rather than physically demanding.
How to choose
Pricing for Tours in Takayama is fairly predictable, with most options clustered in a modest band between budget-friendly and mid-range. Entry-level choices tend to be shorter, group-oriented introductions or basic guided walks, while higher-priced options add smaller groups, extra interpretation or more specialised themes — choose based on how much depth and personal attention you want.
