Bara-san our Japanese tour guide is very accomodating and helpful. He tries and give all his best to explain everything about the tour and interesting facts about Japan. Takayama and Shirakawa-go are beautiful destinations. One of the best side trips from Nagoya City. Also, alot of good restaurants in Takayama serving Hida Beef.

Klook buys tickets and scans the QR code to enter the venue, which is convenient and fast. The aquarium is worth visiting. The sardine feeding show and dolphin show are suitable for taking children. It's very good 👍

If you go to Nagoya, this is a must-see spot!! It's a view that you can't help but recommend. The night view is also beautiful, but I think it would look better during the day. It's great because you can see various scenery up close and far, including Nagoya Castle, all over Nagoya. I think it would be charming even on a rainy day.

There will be many locals visiting the aquarium on weekends, and there will be a lot of people queuing up to buy on-site tickets. Buying electronic tickets in advance will save a lot of time.

Beautiful place. The views would have been more striking if the weather had been better. The guide explained the possible hiking routes but didn't tell much extra info about the place.
