This is it! we’ve been to japan several times to witness the beauty of their seasons, first was spring but unfortunately it was only few sakura when we were there, then next was winter, yes it was a very freezing weather but not snow when we are in the month of December, Here comes the Autumn last September 2024, but unfortunately the trees are green, but this time we experience the beauty of the Autumn season in Nagoya Japan with this voucher in Klook in Takayama and Shirakawago place, we eere so excited and delighted with this amazing beauty of the different colors around us, thanks Klook and thank to very kind and supportive tour guide name Lin, he was also our photographer thanks so much, we really appreciate that gesture😍🥰🥰🥰
My family and I had an amazing experience on our Takayama and Shirakawago tour with our guide, Eiichi. He was exceptionally helpful, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His recommendations were wonderful—especially his food suggestions, which made our tour even more memorable ❤️. Thanks to his warm guidance and attention to detail, our trip was smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour and Eiichi! ☺️
My tour was with Lin and he was amazing! He was so informative giving us little maps to take photos of places he recommends to make it easier and help not get lost, communication was amazing using WhatsApp to stay in touch and just a great guide! The tour itself was great it took us to Takayama and Shirakawa-go with enough time to explore and shop if that’s what you wanted. I highly recommend this tour.
The trip was excellent, and the guide was very patient and gave great explanations. This tour of Takayama and Shirakawa-go Gassho Village in Japan is a perfect cultural experience that feels like stepping back in time! Strolling through the ancient streets of "Little Kyoto" in Takayama, the Edo-style wooden lattice buildings and the rich taste of Hida beef instantly transport you to the old days. And when you enter Shirakawa-go, a fairytale-like World Heritage village, the unique Gassho-style houses are picturesque in all seasons, whether it's the lush greenery of summer or the silver装 (silver decorations) of winter. Especially during the winter light-up, it's like a magical wonderland, immersing you in the tranquility and ancient wisdom of this isolated place. Definitely a must-see highlight of in-depth travel in Japan!
I really enjoyed the tour! Even though it was in English, our guide Sai Chan told me in Japanese where I could go! I was satisfied :) Lots of impressions and it was incredibly beautiful! I also really liked the meat sushi, it just melted in my mouth) ❤️🥰
it was one of the best tour i did in japan, was constantly checking the weather app prior to booking the tour in hopes to experience snow fall and it delivered. eiichi did so good as our guide. this is highly recommended. even in takayama city there were snow. for muslim travelers, there's a muslim friendly shop that offers chicken ramen and a prayer space.
I really loved this tour. our tour guide and deiver Li was very helpful and we were on time to our destinations. bonus points for the real- life location of the anime “Your Name” in Hida Furakawa. I would definitely recommend this tour
Such a beautiful and stunning tour during winter! Got lots of photos and tried amazing food. Had an amazing guide, Aileen, was very clear and informative with the itinerary and history. Would definitely recommend and go again! (snow was very soft XD)
I booked this tour thinking it was a good value..... I was actually worried that it would be difficult being among so many loud Chinese people since the guides were in English and Chinese, but when I actually went, it was an unnecessary worry. My wife and I were the only Koreans, but there was a mix of people from various countries. If you book early, it's cheap, and the guide was a young and friendly man, so I was very pleased. He was Chinese but spoke English well, so it wasn't difficult to understand him, and he took very good care of us. The floor of the vehicle was sticky, perhaps because a drink had been spilled and not cleaned up, and it wasn't a very comfortable bus. It was an old Hyundai bus. The 2 hours in Takayama felt too short, but it was a great trip with good weather and a wonderful guide. Koreans shouldn't necessarily insist on a Korean guide only, this tour is a great value and quite good. Especially in Takayama, as soon as you get off the bus, go to the morning market and take care of lunch........
Starting with a change of meeting point, you will be notified by E-mail, but it's near the original meeting point. The guide will take us to Takayama old town and Shirakawago as stated in the details. Everything is on time as scheduled. The guide speaks multiple languages, is easy to understand, and it's very convenient to come on this one-day trip.
