My group of 6pax have enjoyed our 2D1N tour of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, we were especially fortunate to have such an excellent guide in Ms Zhang, 张静娟. Our itinerary was well scheduled and Ms Zhang's detailed explanation of the places that we're visiting is clear and precise. She has also advised us of the nice local food that we should try. The 6 different transportation is an experience as we crossed the Alps and the mountains to reach the snow walls. The highest point of the wall was 11m, unfortunately, it was raining when we reached the snow wall, our photos was alittle blurry and wet but our excitement has compensated for the weather 😂

The overall itinerary was smooth, and there was ample time to explore each tourist spot. Our tour leader, Kevin, provided excellent care and arrangements, and even helped us take photos. However, the itinerary stated two nights at a hot spring inn, but unfortunately, we only stayed there on the first night, which was a bit disappointing.

I've joined this tour before, but this time the tour guide was very responsible. At each attraction, they handed out maps to us and marked how to get around. They also told us where the good food was and sent us links, which was really useful.

Definitely a great and an unforgettable experience! Our friendly and informative tour guide (Julian) did a wonderful job in touring us around and providing highlights on the history behind Shirakawa-go village and Hida no Sato Takayama. Although it’s a small group in a mini bus, Julian really took good care of us during this 2-day tour, making sure we were all okay and if we needed anything. Lunch and breakfast were both full-filling and delicious. Shopping at Mitsui Outlet was a nice touch and a fun way to end the tour. Really worth visiting if you want to experience this dreamy snow-covered village called Shirakawa-go. It truly is a magical place. To see is to believe. Definitely a must see! It’s like a fairy-tale from a book or snow-globe that came to life. Highly recommended and would love to visit again! Thank you so much!

The driver provided excellent service. This was my second visit to Kamikochi and Shirakawa-go, and this time the stops were very flexible, allowing us to spend more time at the places we liked, which made the trip even better. The hotel we stayed at in the evening was also great. This itinerary is highly recommended.

the 2 days tour to was wonderful . the leader was super friendly and informative. she (Zang) can make every one enjoyed the tour.

The day trip to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go Gassho Village was very well-organized overall. The tour guide introduced the attractions and meeting times on the bus, then allowed travelers free time upon arrival, with a final meeting at a designated location. I really enjoyed this style of travel. Compared to traditional day trips where you have to follow the guide the entire time, this itinerary was much more relaxed and comfortable. There was no pressure to rush or be hurried, allowing us to explore at our own pace. During this trip, we savored delicious Hida beef skewers and pudding in Hida Takayama. In Shirakawa-go, we not only admired many beautiful Gassho-zukuri houses but also took many stunning photos. Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable day trip experience, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Our guide, Tao, was very patient and has been deeply involved with Japan for 20 years, so he has a great understanding of Japanese culture. My navigation was a bit off, but Tao patiently guided me to the parking lot. The parking lot was on a slope, and my navigation led me behind it, making me think there was no road.😅 Sorry for the trouble! It rained on the way there and back today, but luckily the weather was clear and sunny during our sightseeing.☀️ We arrived in Takayama at 10:30 AM. Takayama Old Town has many interesting small shops. We passed by Takayama Betsuin and also visited Takayama Jinya, the only existing county magistrate's office in Japan. Around 1:00 PM, we had a Hida beef set meal for lunch. At 1:55 PM, we arrived at Shirakawa-go Gassho Village. The village architecture, with its thatched-roof wooden houses, was truly impressive. We departed at 3:25 PM for Nagoya. The itinerary was excellent and saved us the hassle of traveling on our own.
