Highly recommended. Enough time for each attraction. Guide, though not very good in conversational English, made efforts up by sending messages. Thank you.

Thank you to our guide, Sasha, and our driver for such a fulfilling and wonderful experience. I initially thought it would just be a ride, but Sasha introduced us to so much local cuisine and Japanese culture. I will definitely join again if I have the chance.

Worth every penny! When we went, it was just our family of four in the entire mountain village, so it felt like a private tour. Our driver, Xiao Wu, was very flexible and accommodated our family's adjustments to the itinerary and schedule. The lunch restaurant he recommended was delicious 😋. Both the adults and kids had a great time🥳. On the way back to Nagoya, he even conveniently dropped us off at the entrance of the Pokémon Center at "Yabacho Station," helping us complete a trip we thought we might miss. We are so grateful for his thoughtfulness. KLOOK has never disappointed me!

A great place to take kids. There are many recreated Japanese scenes from the past, making it worth a visit. On one hand, you can bring people to exercise and run, which has many benefits.

The overall tour was great! The tour guide was attentive, gentle, and courteous, highly recommended! The only drawback was that due to the number of people, a mid-sized bus was assigned, and unfortunately, this vehicle had leaf springs on the rear axle, causing constant bumps on the road, making the ride experience very uncomfortable! This is the only reason for the deduction of points.

The car felt strange and made weird noises the whole trip, although we completed the itinerary safely. The attractions were great – Inuyama Castle, Ena Gorge, Magome-juku, and Tsumago-juku are all worth seeing, but the tour guide's explanations were very basic, just information you could easily find online.
