The ticket price is very affordable. Although there are not so many types, you can still watch it for about 3 hours if you take your time. There is also a rare killer whale show, which is quite worth a visit.

We had an incredible experience thanks to our two guides, Leonardo and Tani. Our group was a mix of travelers, and the dual-language explanations in English and Chinese were immensely helpful. Leonardo provided detailed explanations in English, including the names of places in Chinese characters, and his knowledge of Japanese history was impressive. Tani, on the other hand, explained everything in Chinese and was equally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Japanese culture.
The two guides complemented each other perfectly, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. We've been on many day trips and guided tours in Japan, but Tani stands out as the best Chinese guide we've encountered. Her passion for Japanese culture is contagious, and she goes out of her way to ensure everyone has a memorable experience. She knows all the best scenic spots for photos and is always ready to take pictures for anyone in the group.
Overall, this tour was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore and learn more about Japan.

finding the meet up place was very easy. it was just a few minutes steps from nagoya station (the map provided is accurate - so you just need to follow the google maps). i really enjoyed the whole trip, from takayama to shirakawago plus the hida beef lunch. i would wish to come back here in the future and stay at least overnight in Takayama. that place is very beautiful. the tour guide is very informative and were able to buy some of his “must haves” suggestions. also, he even provided sightseeing and food suggestions link for all of us. thank you so much! :)
