Fantastic 5.0
For someone that comes from Singapore and has never seen snow or Ski before, this was the best experience I have ever had yet so far! Fujiyama ski resort is about 2hours away from Shinjuku and even though it’s a small ski world, you will appreciate it if you come from a hot country like myself! Everything about the services were amazing, the coaches are very detailed when conducting the training and would ensure that we at least know how to ski and stop before letting us roam around ourselves. The weather up at Fujiyama is also perfect, not super cold for anyone wondering, but cool enough to have a blast experience! Lastly, the timing given for us felt plenty, after training and lunch, we still have about 2.5hours left to ourselves, more than enough to take some photos and enjoy the scenery. If you are in Tokyo and would like to step out of the city for a day, this is the perfect day plan for you! :D

Incredible value, stunning views!
"Easy to use and fantastic value. The Klook voucher made picking up our bus and ropeway tickets completely effortless. The bus ride to the Shinhotaka Ropeway was very comfortable and efficient. The views from the top were out of this world, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the mountains. This pass simplifies the logistics of the trip so you can just focus on the amazing scenery. Highly recommended!"

Arriving 1-2 days after purchasing, JNE courier. I exchange the pass at Tokyo station, a day before my flight to Nagoya. I visited Fukui, Kanazawa, Toyama, Shirakawa-go, Takayama, Hida-Furukawa, Gero, and heading back to Nagoya with this pass. I use around a whopping 50k yen in total. Can reserve seat up to 6x, but I only use 2x. For fast paced traveller like me, who easily get bored, this is suuper worth the money! Just hop on the shinkansen (only kagayaki needs seat reservation) or Hida, and off to another place. If you are planning to visit Shirakawa-go via Kanazawa, make sure to reserve the bus early! Booked mine D-26 by phone. It is selling like a hotcakes!

I completed the Nagoya to Shirakawa-go bus tour yesterday and was very satisfied with the experience. First of all, the bus driver was very polite. Although we had a language barrier, I was able to communicate smoothly using Google Translate. The bus schedule was well-managed, and we arrived at each stop on time. The bus was very clean and comfortable. Overall, the trip was comfortable and satisfying.

Two days before departure, we received a call from the car dealer via WhatsApp asking about the optional 300km itinerary. We had originally seen the recommendation of the GuanSA rest stop on the Internet. On the day of departure, Master Fan reviewed our itinerary and asked us if we would consider the Plateau SA, which would be just the right time for lunch and a view of the White Mountains. It is true that we need to listen to professional advice. The food at the Plateau SA is simple and delicious. There was an elderly person who was prone to motion sickness in our group, but Master Fan drove steadily and the whole family had a great time.

it was a beautiful day and the mountain was great. very confusing that we had to leave the bus at one point take a cab and rejoin the same bus later. it was never explained why. but it all worked out. it was a very long day.
