The tour guide is very understanding. we missed the bus & we took the public bus to go there and he met us there and automatically helped us i getting the ticket/gears all ready and we able to board the tour bus back. Thank you so much!

The scenery in Gujo Hachiman is beautiful, and with the snow cover, every shot is a great photo. It's a shame that not many shops in the shopping street are open, so it's best to prepare breakfast before you go. Bokka no Sato is a place where both adults and children can have fun. The snow scene there is beautiful, and it was snowing the whole time, with super thick snow accumulation. A highly recommended trip!

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.

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 very charming hotel, even from the outside, and it's right next to the Takayama train and bus station. Also, at the entrance, there are small hot springs that everyone can use to soak their feet. You have to take off your shoes to walk around the hotel, as the floor is tatami. The room was very beautiful and spacious, especially considering the size of hotel rooms in Japan. The staff helped us send our luggage to our next hotel and were very friendly. There is a public onsen, but also a private one. There is usually a long line to use the three private ones, but it's worth it for the experience. We loved it and it's a wonderful option for people with tattoos.

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!

Nice, clean hotel in a great location next to the station. The staff are friendly, hardworking, and very helpful! The room was a good size, and I really appreciated having our own washing machine. Breakfast was a little busy/chaotic though.
