Reviews
The itinerary and accommodation arrangements were impeccable. The cost wasn't low, but it was worth the price.
Although the snow scenery in Shirakawa-go was not as expected that day, I had a lot of fun overall. The tour guide introduced a lot of Japanese history and knowledge, and the driver drove very steadily. I recommend it!
Booked through Klook but when actually departing, went with HIS company. The guide was lovely, took good care of us, and gave us great knowledge about the places. Highly recommended. TOUR leader very well, Good driver, place, hotel, I love so much in this program.
Got an awesome tour with Hiroshi-san and Yumi-san. Knowledge guide and very happy when you're showing interest to japanese culture, do not hesitate if you talk a bit of japanese ! Strawberries were delicious, shirakawagō at night felt magical. The food sample making was also a really funny experience :) I highly recommend this tour ! Thanks again, Hiroshi-san and Yumi-san 😀
The itinerary was well planned, and the tour guide was also very considerate, knowing that our English was not good and would explain it to us again in Japanese. Highly recommended👍🏻👍🏻
Participating in the two-day and one-night lighting event in Shirakawa-go, everyone was carefully and professionally arranged, and they spoke fluent English. Children enjoyed the workshops and snow slides, as well as strawberry picking. The most important thing is that Shirakawago has six light-up events a year. For me who is not familiar with Japanese, doesn’t know how to make an appointment for a shuttle bus, and has two children to take with me, this tour is really suitable.
The tour guide Hiroshi-san is awesome. He always cares about everyone and tries his best to explain in English so that everyone can understand. Before the end of the trip, he even gave origami cranes to everyone:) The trip is slightly more expensive because it only includes lunch on the first day and lunch on the second day. There are two breakfasts in the hotel, and the rest needs to be taken care of by yourself, and the trip to Alpine Old Street the next morning is too early, many shops are not open yet, and the afternoon skiing trip is too long.
We are led by two local Japanese tour guides. They are friendly and enthusiastic, and their service attitude is very good. They care about the conditions of the group members every time they visit a scenic spot. The arranged itinerary and accommodation experience are very good, the CP value is high, and the scenic spots arranged on the way are incredible. Unforgettable, highly recommended ~ Thank you to the tour guide and driver who accompanied us along the way. In the end, the tour guide made paper cranes and gave them to us. I think it represents blessings!
The whole trip was amazing! The Japanese tour guide can speak English really well and fluently. He took care of us with warm reminders and nice attitude. We can play the snow and watch the amazing scene in Shirakawa. The transportation was also very cozy with big leg room for each seat.
Hiroshi was a great tour guide. He was thoughtful and cared for everyone. The tour itself was paced very well and had a variety of activities catered for everyone. Highly recommend!
