Review for: Takayama to Nagoya Service (Departing from Takayama)

Pick-up was easy to find since it was where we were dropped-off when we took a bus from takayama to shirakawa-go. Pin here in klook was also accurate. Bus was comfortable they provided us with a blanket and the bus seats were reclinable. The bus had a bathroom in it but we were given some pitstops along the way so that we could use the toilet or buy snacks for our trip.

Review for: Nagoya to Takayama Service (Departing from Nagoya)

Bus stop was easy to find. It was just at the back of animate and there was a FamilyMart nearby where we bought some drinks for our trip. bus was comfortable and they provided a blanket. Multiple Pitstops were available during the trip. The bus was on time and we arrived at Takayama a bit earlier than expected

Review for: Roundtrip between Nagoya and Takayama/ Shirakawa-go

You can check your reservation details and use the bus right from the driver at the Meitetsu Station VIP bus stop. The driver was a very good driver, so I went to Shirakawa-go comfortably. I stop by a rest area once in a while on my way home, and it was a new experience as it was my first time stopping by a highway rest area in Japan. Shirakawago is without a doubt the best. The seats are small, so it's a bit inconvenient to travel for a long time, but I recommend it because it's the best value for money compared to buying a ticket for the express bus yourself!

Review for: Nagoya to Takayama Service (Departing from Nagoya)

After checking your name with the driver, you can get on the bus. Your seat has been arranged. There will be two rest stops along the way for about 15 minutes where you can go to the toilet or buy things. The vehicle is new and clean, and you can reach your destination comfortably.

Review for: Nagoya to Shirakawa-go Service (Departing from Nagoya)

I couldn't buy my preferred bus ticket to Shirakawa-go on the official bus website, but luckily Klook still had it! The timing was perfect too. The pick-up location is right outside Green Hotel, which was easy to find and very convenient!

預約方便,在klook買完,到時比個code比車務員就可以跟佢安排的座位坐好。巴士站都易揾,建議預早小小到,因佢好準時開車。巴士坐位略窄,不過都乾淨同有腳踏,又有厠所,力推!

Review for: Nagoya to Takayama Service (Departing from Nagoya)

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.

Review for: Shirakawa-go to Nagoya Service (Departing from Shirakawa-go)

At noon, we went from Shirakawa-go to Takayama/Nagoya, using the same car and aircraft that left Nagoya in the morning. Getting off at Takayama Hida Hotel Plaza is closer to JR Takayama Station.
