Things to do in Aichi

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

Klook provides an easy way to purchase the tickets, compares to Ghibli own website. The park is huge, we spent almost 6 hours in the park mostly in the main warehouse. The restaurants serve mostly western foods not many local Japanese choices.

Booking through Klook was incredibly easy. We received the QR code instantly, and when we got to Legoland Japan, we just scanned it at the gate and walked right in—no need to line up at the ticket booth. The park itself is perfect for younger kids (ages 3–10). Unlike USJ or Disney, the wait times were very short, mostly 15–20 minutes. Don’t miss Miniland; the detail in the Lego Japanese landmarks is insane! Highly recommend booking via Klook to save time and skip the queues.

I am so glad I bought my Port of Nagoya Aquarium tickets in advance on Klook! I visited on a weekend, and the crowds were huge with massive queues at the on-site ticket windows. Because I had my Klook booking ready, we were able to enter immediately without queuing. It saved us so much time and stress. If you’re planning a weekend visit, booking through Klook is a total lifesaver—highly recommended!

experience: Good exploration of the castle grounds including Hanmaru Palace and you can even get some good postcards. You can also get some good Unagi in the restaurants outside the castle grounds. ease of booking on Klook: perfect. just show to the guard and they will let you in.
