A much more strenuous visit than expected! 😂 If you have difficulty walking, I'll be honest, I advise against it, because the climb on Nakasendo is unforgiving—my legs are still sore! Otherwise, from Inuyama to Tsumago-juku, the landscapes are magnificent and breathtaking! If you're lucky enough to go on a clear day, it will only be better. A truly fascinating and wonderful excursion!
Fortunately, the weather was great for an outing, and everyone gathered and departed quite punctually in the morning. Although our tour guide Xiao Su's English might be a bit too literal and potentially difficult for Westerners to understand, her Chinese explanations were very clear, and she was enthusiastic and helpful, assisting with group photos and communicating with Japanese restaurants. Overall, it deserves a five-star rating. However, I suggest that before getting off the bus, the guide could remind each passenger of the meeting time again, or perhaps use a sign to indicate it, as some people might still misunderstand. The driver also drove very comfortably, and I didn't feel dizzy, but there was a 1-1.5 hour stretch of mountain roads, so I recommend that those who are more sensitive take motion sickness medication beforehand.
This trip was a last-minute addition, primarily because tomorrow we're visiting another key area, Tateyama Kurobe. Also, on my last trip to Nagoya, I missed famous spots like Inuyama Castle, Magome-juku, and Tsumago-juku. I had previously booked a similar local tour, but it was canceled due to insufficient participants. So, when the opportunity arose again, I naturally decided to join. The guide was very competent in arranging all the attractions. An added surprise was that three out of our four groups (including mine) were from Hong Kong, which is quite rare.
Wonderful tour. Nancy was a lovely, professional and knowledgeable guide. Timing was good at each destination, everything was well organised and our driver was also lovely and got us safely there and back. Great value for money, this costs less than doing it yourself on public train/bus and is much more convenient. Highly reccomend.
Our tour guide, Wang Huan, was not only highly professional and responsible but also incredibly passionate about their work. What surprised us most was that they were practically a walking encyclopedia of local cuisine, leading us away from tourist traps to hidden gems only known to locals. Every bite was a delightful surprise, completely satisfying our taste buds! Furthermore, Wang Huan's photography skills were exceptional. They proactively helped us capture many stunning moments at various attractions. For those of us who aren't great at finding the best angles, these photos are truly invaluable. Having such an enthusiastic and multi-talented guide accompany us throughout the trip made it easy, enjoyable, and full of wonderful surprises. We wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone!
This itinerary offered beautiful scenery without the crowds, which I really enjoyed. The tour guide and driver were also very kind, and the soba noodle shop and strawberries recommended by the guide were delicious!
Tour guide Wu's sharing was very interesting and lively, and the food he recommended was delicious. There was plenty of free time after getting off the bus, so even with four attractions, it wasn't too tiring. The scenery at the attractions was beautiful and pleasant, but some of them had quite a few slopes, which participants should be aware of.
If you're not driving and prefer a day trip covering four attractions, this is a great option. Perfect for scenery lovers! Inuyama Castle is a unique wooden castle with stunning panoramic views from the top. Ena Gorge Observatory serves as a brief stopover point. The nostalgic post towns of Magome and Tsumago offer charming shops and local snacks to enjoy.

Our tour guide, Shu Yue, was excellent. She explained the historical significance of the sights clearly and also recommended other local delicacies.
