Gifu Prefecture

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 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 🙏.

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! 💖

A tropical girlie’s first snow day ❄️Shirakawa-go felt like stepping into a real-life snow globe. Seeing snow for the first time was pure magic. We did not avail the package with Hida beef lunch but decided to just eat in Shirakawa and one of the highlight of this trip is eating at Irori. Hands down one of the best meals we had in Japan. It’s warm, comforting, and perfect after walking through the cold village. We did notice that many shops were closed since we visited during a national holiday, so the locations felt a bit quieter than expected. Still, the scenery alone made the trip worth it. Special shoutout to GU, he is so organized and knowledgeable. He gave out maps and recommended shops which made exploring easier. Our driver was smiley too, which made the trip even more pleasant.

Our Takayama and Shirakawago tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well-organized and perfectly paced, giving us enough time to explore. Hao, our tour guide, was wonderful, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. She made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We especially appreciated her thoughtful recommendations on what to eat and what to see in both Takayama and Shirakawago. Because of her guidance, we were able to experience the best of both destinations. Special thanks as well to Ishida, who drove us all the way with such care and professionalism. You could truly feel that our safety was his priority. On our way back to the bus, he even made iced duck for us before we get on the bus, such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made the day even more memorable. We would happily do it again, maybe in another season to see Takayama and Shirakawago in a different light.

It was an experience to visit both Takayama and Shirakawa Go. The tour guide and the driver were both very polite and attentive. We were also brief by the tour guide on the walking routes and where are the best spot to take our pictures for both of the places. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.

My whole family enjoyed the tour in both Takayama and Shirakawago. We were blessed with a good weather and an excellent guide and driver. Jane not only expertly shared the history of both places, and guided us on how to maximize the limited time, but adeptly organized, planned and strategized to timing for the group to get the most out of the tour. Thank you Jane and likewise to our competent driver.

Tour info. is well informed and detailed. Tour guide guy Mr Liu is young man, all required info. he will be repeatly mentioning few times. Perhaps the tourist information for each particular places would be a bit of in-depth in English will be more ideal. For enhancing value of tour would be time spent on last two spots, says 15 minutes extra time allowance for Takayama town & Shirakawa village for 10 minutes more would be great for value. The tour made it as great memorable day as today h’been snowing since we left Nagoya. ThankYou
