Nagoya Tours

Our tour guide Xi was nice, organised and gave good tips during the tour of where to go and what to try. His recommendations were spot on especially the egg pudding in Shiragawa. Get in early to get the original pudding to avoid disappointment. We managed to still get the coffee and custard and they were delicious! It snowed and was magical. Don't forget to wear appropriate footwear as sleet and water can get into your sneakers, otherwise we had the best day!

A must tour!!! We had Jane as our tour guide, she was very helpful and making sure we’re always good. She gave us list of the places we can check out and eat at. I like how this tour wasn’t rush, you can do things on your pace. Shirakawa-Go is beautiful and we had the best weather.

The places were beautiful and the lunch was super nice! Our guide David/Dai also was organized and created a group chat where he can communicate with the members of the group tour so we were able to manage our time well! The bus driver assigned that day was very skilled too! We were always right on schedule because of him. In sum, this trip was amazing! PS. I didn’t expect Takayama to be that beautiful. It was definitely the vibe!

Highly recommended tour. Takayama and Shirakawago were both worth the time (8am-6pm). These places were both charming, rich in culture and very photogenic. The quality of the food and the crafts in the area were great. Our guide Leo was excellent. He shared a lot of information about both towns, its history, food, and culture. He went extra by marking our maps with recommended walking routes and spots for snacks and shopping. And by the end of the tour, he shared his recommended dining spots in Nagoya.

My mom and I joined this tour on a rainy day, which made the temperature extra cold, but it was still an overall good experience. Shirakawa-go (the UNESCO site) was still ok to explore and, since I'm from a tropical/no-snow country, I got to "enjoy" little puddles of snow around the place. Our tour guide, Lily, was accommodating and had clear instructions, so the whole trip felt smooth and hassle-free. Also, please do try the award-winning pudding shop Shirakawago Purin No Le while you’re there. I got the matcha and chocolate flavors, and both were so good. Overall, a great day trip and worth it (despite the rainy weather).

This was a great trip to visit Takayama and Shirakawa. The tour guide John Lee is friendly and provided helpful tips on options where to eat and visit. He also shared the history of these two places. The trip well organised and all on schedule. The driver is friendly and safe driving.

I really enjoyed the tour! Even though it was in English, our guide Sai Chan told me in Japanese where I could go! I was satisfied :) Lots of impressions and it was incredibly beautiful! I also really liked the meat sushi, it just melted in my mouth) ❤️🥰

We joined the Shirakawago & Takayama day tour and it was one of the best tours we’ve done. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, we still had so much fun. The Hida beef lunch was absolutely worth it, and our guide Yuki and the bus driver took great care of everyone. Yuki gave excellent recommendations and was very professional throughout the trip.

The time allotted at Ghibli Park was more than enough to explore the whole area, even with some lines, and still enjoy a proper meal. The meet-up point was easy to find, and the lunch bento was already prepared and handed out before boarding the bus, which was very convenient. Quick heads-up: there are no trash bins inside the park, so you’ll need to bring your trash with you until you’re back at Nagoya Station (bins for bottles and cans are available). On the tour day, what we visited after the park was Toyota Automobile Museum, where the guide shared car inspirations from Ghibli movies, making it fun to spot them. The time there was under an hour, so it felt a bit rushed. But it's still good overall!
