Nagoya Station tours

The tour was a lot of fun, offering a close connection with nature and making it ideal for hiking enthusiasts. The weather was quite cold, and almost all the leaves had fallen. There are two walking routes available: an easy one and an advanced one (where you take a vehicle to Kappa Bridge and start hiking from there). The guide did a great job, though they spoke a bit too much Chinese.

excellent tour with a good pace, 5 hour tour in the Ghibli Park was more than enough to explore the must see sights. Unforunately the entry ticket for Howl's moving castle was sold out on the day of visit, but it still was a nice experience to immerse yourself in the world of Studio Ghibli. Only a small fee to enter Witches' house etc, but it was worth it if you wish to see the house in real life. the frand warehouse has a little threatre and the 20 min show was excellent. Our Guide, Satomi was friendly and has been very attentive, she explained every must remember points for our tour. Also, Punctunality is a key in this tour, if you missed the meet up time, then the group will leave without you

Everything was really great overall. We got to everywhere we wanted/needed to be and the instructions got me where I needed to go. I do wish some of the finer points (like going to the information desk to pick up the tickets instead of just “B1 of Kitte” or a better guide for getting to the bus stop). Otherwise, super helpful to have everything bundled into one when I can’t buy tickets from the website directly.

Highly recommend this tour. We went in summer but it was still beautiful. Less time at the first stop with the Koi pond and more time at the lunch and shopping street would have been better. By the time we chose a lunch spot, we didn’t have much time to look in the stores. Overall an enjoyable experience with a guide who spoke 3 languages.

We met at the Silver Clock in Nagoya Station, which was a very easy-to-find location! As a solo traveler, I was initially quite worried, but the tour guide spoke fluent Japanese, Mandarin, and English, and gave very clear instructions. We spent two hours at each of the two attractions, which felt like just enough time. There's no way around it, as the round trip from Nagoya takes almost five hours in total. However, having a dedicated car service is a must for solo travelers and those without a driver's license. The tour bus was clean and comfortable, and I was very satisfied overall. We returned to Nagoya Station around 6:30 PM that evening, and the timing was consistent with the itinerary description!

We booked for a Tuesday tour but was requested to move to a Wednesday tour so we had to move things around. It was okay though because the tour was worth it. Size of the group was small so no time was wasted on waiting on other tour participants. Vehicle used was very clean and comfortable for the long drive to and from Nagoya. Our tour guide, Eiichi, was very nice and accommodating to all of us and was able to communicate with everyone well. As a local, he was able to answer our questions about Nagoya, Takayama, and Shirakawa-go easily. He also gave great recommendations about what food to try. We were able to follow the schedule to the dot and got back in Nagoya in time for our evening plans.

Our journey today (Oct 07) along the Nakasendo trail from Tsumagojuku to Magomejuku was an unforgettable, bucket-list experience that made our 22,000 steps entirely worthwhile. Our exceptional guide, Eric, brought the ancient path to life with his thorough and fascinating insights into the region's rich history. Meanwhile, our wonderful driver, Mr. Ozaki, ensured we felt completely comfortable and secure throughout our travels. Walking this historic route felt like stepping back in time amidst stunning Japanese countryside scenery. I cannot recommend this incredible tour enough to anyone visiting the area! Thank you to Eric, Mr. Ozaki, and Snow Monkey Resorts!
