Reviews
The cart ride distance is a bit far, but you can go further out to enjoy the scenery outside the city. Inuyama Castle is very photogenic both inside and out, and the view of the Kiso River from the castle is magnificent. Ena Gorge was a bit disappointing; it wasn't as beautiful as the photos online. We spent a longer time in Magome-juku, and also had a meal there. It's a place very worth visiting to see and learn about its culture and history. The scenery is unique after it snows, and you can see Mount Ena from the highest point. Finally, there was Tsumago-juku, which is also a post town, but the scenery is different from Magome-juku. Overall, the itinerary was timed just right, and it wasn't too rushed. Although there were quite a few people in the group and the large bus was almost full, the group members were great and were on time for boarding and disembarking, and we returned to Nagoya on schedule.
Worth every penny! When we went, it was just our family of four in the entire mountain village, so it felt like a private tour. Our driver, Xiao Wu, was very flexible and accommodated our family's adjustments to the itinerary and schedule. The lunch restaurant he recommended was delicious 😋. Both the adults and kids had a great time🥳. On the way back to Nagoya, he even conveniently dropped us off at the entrance of the Pokémon Center at "Yabacho Station," helping us complete a trip we thought we might miss. We are so grateful for his thoughtfulness. KLOOK has never disappointed me!
It was a great trip, and the itinerary and timing were very relaxed. The view from the top of Inuyama Castle was truly amazing, but unfortunately, we couldn't stay too long due to the crowds. Ena Gorge itself was just okay, but the white peaches (2026/06/21) sold by the old man next to the parking lot, though unassuming in appearance, were incredibly juicy and just as good as regular peaches. My family couldn't stop raving about them; it's a shame we didn't buy more. Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku are definitely worth visiting.
Thank you, Tomika, for your detailed and professional explanations throughout the trip. The pace was relaxed, and we had plenty of flexibility to explore to our heart's content. I highly recommend Tomika! She helped create wonderful travel memories for my family!
I saw the "Inuyama Castle & Ena Gorge & Magome-juku & Tsumago-juku" package on Klook this time, and I'm grateful for the fate that allowed us to meet tour guide Hsu Hsi-chun. We hit it off immediately, like long-lost friends. Her professional explanations during the trip made it feel like we were actually there, and in an instant, I was immersed in the local Japanese culture. I'm very happy I bought this package deal, and I highly recommend that everyone buy this itinerary when traveling to Nagoya and go for a walk and a look!
Nice day trip and very happy to have our guide (郭华娟), for her appropriate explanation of Nagoya's key atttactions and location details. She also gave details of Japan culture and specialty at different prefecture. Highly recommended!
well organised with a big bus for a large group. comfortable seats in bus. unfortunately it’s raining all day so it’s very cold and not so fun to walk along the old streets.
The itinerary was rich and packed, allowing me to visit Inuyama Castle, Magome-juku, and Tsumago-juku all at once. I preferred the latter, as there were fewer tourists. This itinerary was cost-effective and I was very satisfied.
This tour is relatively niche and less physically demanding. We visited Inuyama Castle, Ena Gorge, Magome-juku, and Tsumago-juku all in one day. Our guide, Liu, diligently provided guidance at each attraction and clear meeting times. We had a great experience that day.
It was an unforgettable day with a well-planned and punctual itinerary. There was plenty of time for activities. You must go up Inuyama Castle to see the magnificent scenery! Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku also offer a great historical experience and are worth visiting. Going with a tour is definitely more convenient than going by yourself. Highly recommended.
