Nagoya Day trips

Tour guide Ms. Keng is very wonderful lady, who deeply introduces the background, history and culture of each stop point in Hida Takeyama and Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village. She bilingually explains all of them in details makes us impressible. My family and I very enjoy this one-day tour a lot. Wish have another tour here in the future.

Our guide, Liu, was thorough, approachable, and very organized. He served as both the English and Chinese guide for our bus, giving all the instructions in both languages with great energy. He also created WhatsApp and LINE groups, making it easy to receive updates and contact him throughout the tour. The ride was smooth and comfortable thanks to our drivers, Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Ikura. As a solo traveler with limited time, I found this tour to be excellent value for money. The itinerary was well planned, and we were given maps with suggested walking routes around Takayama and Shirakawa-go. There was enough free time for me to hike to the Shirakawa-go Observatory despite the summer heat. Liu also went above and beyond by taking my photos during my Hida beef lunch. We returned to Nagoya Station on schedule, and the entire trip was seamless. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this tour.

One of the Best solo trip when you're at Nagoya. The Bus Transfers is very smooth considering a gloomy weather. Ms. Sue is very Accommodating at guests. English-Chinese translation well done. definitely a recommended activity when at Nagano / Nagoya that's Ultimate Nature Trip. Please preserve these Japanese Alps, Bridge, and beautiful crystal clear river!

◎ The timing was excellent; we not only explored three areas of Ghibli Park but also visited Japan's renowned Toyota Museum. The itinerary was very fulfilling. ◎ The round-trip bus saved us a lot of time we would have spent on transfers. The bus was quite comfortable, and I even fell asleep on the way back. ◎ Our tour guide was a very interesting Japanese gentleman, I believe his name was "Ushida Yasuhiro." On the way there, he patiently introduced the itinerary, counted heads, and kept the atmosphere lively. On the way back, seeing that everyone was tired, he started singing for us and even handed out song sheets (Ponyo's theme song, which Fan Xiaoxuan covered as "Doudoulong"). The trip was quite enjoyable. ◎ Ghibli Park is definitely worth a visit; it's Miyazaki's world everywhere you look. I spent a long time taking photos in the Ghibli's Grand Warehouse. At Mononoke Village, I didn't have the patience to wait in long lines, so I only spent about an hour there and rode the carousel 🎠. There were many tourists from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and they were all quite enthusiastic and willing to help take photos, which was very nice. ◎ Afterwards, we went to the Toyota Museum and saw many cars, souvenirs, and cultural exhibits. It was excellent.

Kamikochi, known as "God's Homeland," truly is the most beautiful hiking destination. Walking along the Azusa River trail, nestled beneath the Hotaka mountain range, is incredibly refreshing. The breathtaking scenery, where the clear stream intertwines with the Hotaka peaks, is stunning and truly uplifting. Our tour guide, Yukino, was exceptionally dedicated on this trip. She meticulously prepared all the information, including introductions to attractions, suggested routes, and food recommendations, providing comprehensive details to all participants. She also catered to both Chinese and English-speaking guests, proving to be an incredibly diligent and responsible leader. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this tour. Nancy is super knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information. It was possible to leave stuff in the bus at different stops, which made the sightseeing much more relaxing.

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.

This was my second time booking with this travel agency. We departed on time and arrived back in Nagoya exactly at 6 PM. The journey was smooth, and there were only eight of us on the shuttle bus, which made it very comfortable. I’m satisfied with the service, even though the weather wasn’t ideal—it was raining and the Alps didn’t show. I still had a great experience overall. I would definitely book again next time.

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.
