Shorenji Temple tours

Our guide was Mandarin speaking and he should have covered some housekeeping rules on the bus eg clear your trash, keep your volumes low if you need to chat so as not to disturb the rest. This was not covered and we had many passengers who spoke loudly throughout the whole day - very distracting and inconsiderate. Driver did not provide plastic bags for us to dispose of our trash and bus smelt of cigarette smoke. Small improvements to above could help to enhance a good passenger experience. Overall experience at Shirakawa-go Gassho Village is great and worth to visit .

Very informative , very friendly. Took photos of the 4 of us wherever we asked and he even came into a 7-11 we stopped into to recommend some snacks and help us at the counter! Would highly recommend. The driver was also very friendly!

The Kamikochi trekking was really great. The guide said that the weather was fantastic and that we were really lucky. I am grateful to the guide who explained and guided us well.

Everything is excellent for this trip! Hotel equipped with 2 onsens. Dinner & breakfast at the hotel is delicious. Transport is well-maintained. Guide is patient and explains well on the itinerary. We are able to replace beef meals with other options.

We met 2 guides, Makino-san in Nagoya and Tomoko-san in Shirakawago and Takayama. They are both going the extra miles when it comes to satisfy our needs. Makino-san initiated to contact us a day before, helped get into the right bus, and even though that she wasn't going with us, she coordinated very well with Tomoko-san so everything were going smoothly when we arrived at Shirakawago. She also gave us recommendations about places that we can see to spend another day in Nagoya. In Shirakawago, Tomoko-san was guiding very professionally, tinkered our routes to our requests and made it feels like we were not going with a guide, but as a family instead. In Takayama, we got the chance to spend our time to see around the places, visit a café and omiyage stores. They are both local so you might find out things that only the locals know. Very satisfied.

Beautiful night tour with lots of explanations, the guide is very friendly and gives good advice for booking a restaurant.

There is plenty of time for free activities, and the tour guide’s explanations in the car are also very detailed. This itinerary is a good choice for tourists who do not have a driver’s license and cannot drive by themselves.

our Guide Yoshi was very informative. the kids had a great time in the snow at the ropeway, we did not feel rushed at all. we were very happy with our day.
