One of my best moment in Japan ! I really enjoyed this day trip ! Summer, our lively guide, was very friendly and always attentive to the group. The timing and the organisation were perfect. I recommend this excursion ! Thank you also to Hito, our nice driver.

Really impressive itinerary and plenty of time in every location. Weather was a bit rainy, but it made the atmosphere iven more special. Enjoyed it a lot! Guide Han is super nice and gave plenty of information about the places we are visiting but also about Nagoya.

Great tour just hours away from Nagoya. Inuyama castle and the walking trail of Nakasendo is definitely worth a visit! The tour guide named Liu is detailed on explanation.

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!

Nice day trip and very happy to have our guide (郭华娟), for her appropriate explanation of Nagoya's key atttactions and location details. She also gave details of Japan culture and specialty at different prefecture. Highly recommended!

I've joined many one-day tours in Japan, but this was my first time with a female tour guide. Xiao Yu was incredibly attentive, the arrangements were smooth, and the timing was precise. My legs can't handle walking too far, and she made sure I was well taken care of. Thank you for this Shirakawa-go and Takayama experience; it was a very relaxing and comfortable trip. 🙏🏻 I will definitely come back again!

To reach Inuyama Castle, you first have to walk up an incline. The stairs to the main keep are quite narrow, but the view from the top of the keep is beautiful for taking photos. Magome-juku is an uphill slope all the way to the observation deck, so it's not suitable for people with mobility issues.

If you enjoy taking photos, you might want to choose just one location, otherwise you'll feel rushed. Alternatively, I'd suggest staying overnight. Our driver was excellent; she drove very smoothly and was extremely polite. A six-hour round trip (three hours each way) must have been tiring for her. I highly recommend visiting Shirakawa-go in both summer and winter; it's truly beautiful.
