Shirakawa-go Winter Light-Up and Hida Takayama Day Trip Bus Tour (From Nagoya)

We first went to Takayama old town (sufficient time). Not bad for the first time…The morning market is already closed by noon (we reached around 1plus). It is ok to miss the morning market (a stretch of shops & pop-up stalls selling food, souvenirs etc) as I later went (Takayama Morning Market) on my own trip. As for Shirawakago, the trip is very good as u get to get both day & night Shirakawago. it would be excellent if this trip include the Observation Deck (as stated not included in the trip) but on the other hand, it will be extremely rush if it is included (maybe shorten the Takayama time or forgo the Takayama). The dinner (included in the trip) was extremely on the hida beef don.

it was a great trip, beautiful scenery and our guide presented the 2 spots in English clearly on the bus before we arrive, so we can plan our time in advance when we arrive at the scenes, highly recommend the tour, no need to drive in the snow but able to visit the country side

Easy & smooth pick up at Meitestu Bus Center. English speaking guide gave detailed instructions and brief some itinerary. The only disappointment is at Shirakawa go. Not many gassho houses light up. No wow factor. most of them areas are dark

The check-in location was a bit unclear, only mentioning the 4th floor of the Meitetsu Bus Center. Actually, you need to check in at the counter on the 4th floor first. The space between the front row seats of the tour bus provided felt a bit narrow. The two tour guides and the driver were very friendly, gave clear instructions, and introduced special attractions along the way. They also thoughtfully provided hot tea. The itinerary was smooth, but it would have been better if we could have spent more time in the old streets of Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Personally, I don't really like the texture of soba noodles. The price is a bit expensive, but considering the light-up event and the convenience of transportation, it is within an acceptable range. Overall, I would recommend it.

Tour and guide is very good. I have impressed in this travelling. Easy and comfortable. Tour arranged time suitable. Good food in Shirakawa Go restaurant. Reccomened don't miss this tour.

The overall process was clear and well-defined. The tour guide, driver, and conductor were polite and kind. The light-up portion was okay, but that's not an issue with the itinerary. It's a good choice for people who want to take a day trip to Shirakawa-go.

This tour make my time is wonderful. Bus Guilding time is suitable. Udon and rice have a good test. We roam at the Takayama tour byself and back to the bus in meeting time. We traveled to Shirakawa Go in the evening and shoping gift from many shop . We saw beautiful time when light up . We impressed this tour and good guide . they take care us very well.

good experience. memorable experience. convenient mode of transporation. hida beef is very delicous but serving size is not so big.

The weather was sunny that day and not as cold as expected. Surrounded by ice and snow, it is very beautiful to see the snowy scenery of the mountains and Shirakawago. When I arrived at Shirakawa-go, it was getting dark very quickly and there were so many people there that it was difficult to take beautiful photos. And be careful of the icy ground, which is very slippery. The tour guides in Japanese and English are very friendly. There are only four lighting events this year, which is a rare experience.

The tour guide was kind and professional. He explained the local characteristics, meeting time and place, etc. in detail. The meeting place at Meitetsu Bus Center is large and there are many staff outside. As long as you know how to ask, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find it~
