Nagoya Day trips

Suesy was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable, her energy made a rainy day much better. However hiking in the rain, I missed much of the scenery due to fog, was absolutely drenched as well. Proper rain gear and waterproof shoes are recommended for rainy days. Otherwise a cool experience.

I am so worried at first because I cannot get any information before the day of the trip. But when I go to meet point, I find out that BaBa san can speak fluent English and his partner can speak fluent Mandarin! They are really good match with each other!

I made a last-minute reservation the night before, and since I could select the Korean guide option, I booked right away! Nagoya is a must-visit destination, but meeting our guide 'Im-ho,' who is fluent in three languages (English, Korean, and Chinese), made it a truly special and fun trip. From the meeting point, he told us it was strong out in the sun and to wait in the shade across the street. With his tsundere charm, he recommended must-eat local restaurants and always clearly held up a sign with the meeting time so we wouldn't get confused. Thanks to him, it was a safe and enjoyable trip! ^^

The three of us signed up together as friends, and it was a truly satisfying tour. Instead of having a dedicated lunch break, we saved that time to leisurely explore even more places, and all the snacks the guide recommended along the way were delicious, making it so much fun. It was great to comfortably tour key attractions, from the serene streets of Takayama to the picture-esque traditional village of Shirakawa-go and Gujo Hachiman, which was wonderful to walk through while listening to the sound of flowing water. Thank you for the kind guidance!

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

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.

Since these locations are over two hours from Nagoya by car, it is definitely worth joining a local tour. The guide was excellent—responsible, well-organized, and provided plenty of free time, which was more than enough for the visit. I loved the first stop the most, it is well worth the trip. The 'Silver Clock' meeting point is very easy to find, and the maps and suggestions provided by the guide were detailed and easy to follow. They also set up WhatsApp and WeChat groups to ensure seamless communication throughout the day.

Shirakawa-go and Takayama Tour is one of the best tours you can get in Nagoya. The tour consists of going to Takayama with some guided excursions. The orientation while inside the bus with the maps provided by the guide was enough for us to be well-guided with the best places to go in Takayama and Shirakawa-go. This tour provided observation deck access, which allowed us to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The tour in Takayama is one of the best tours we had since we were able to roam freely. In Shirakawa-go, we were also able to roam freely.

Cici was a great guide, she was fluent in 3 languages, she gave us freedom to follow her around or to explore by ourselves. Felt a bit rushed in gujo hachiman, but the rest felt we had much much spare time to explore. Going with a tour like these is way cheaper than going by yourself.
