Gifu Prefecture

The tour guide is very understanding. we missed the bus & we took the public bus to go there and he met us there and automatically helped us i getting the ticket/gears all ready and we able to board the tour bus back. Thank you so much!

The scenery in Gujo Hachiman is beautiful, and with the snow cover, every shot is a great photo. It's a shame that not many shops in the shopping street are open, so it's best to prepare breakfast before you go. Bokka no Sato is a place where both adults and children can have fun. The snow scene there is beautiful, and it was snowing the whole time, with super thick snow accumulation. A highly recommended trip!

The bus is a convenient way to get there and spend a day at the ski resort. Bus driver was courteous and meeting point easy to locate.

The tour guide spoke with great enthusiasm and dedication. She also shared some interesting facts about Takayama itself. The people at the sake brewery were very grateful that we were there. All in all, it was a very enjoyable and educational experience.

Takayama and Shirakawa-go Tour is a must try. This is, we think, is a very relaxed tour. The bus is so spacious and the seats are so comfy. We enjoyed the road trip. For the actual place, it's super worth it! A must visit. It's just slippery because it's winter but we think that winter is the best time to visit these places.

Our Takayama and Shirakawago tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well-organized and perfectly paced, giving us enough time to explore. Hao, our tour guide, was wonderful, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. She made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We especially appreciated her thoughtful recommendations on what to eat and what to see in both Takayama and Shirakawago. Because of her guidance, we were able to experience the best of both destinations. Special thanks as well to Ishida, who drove us all the way with such care and professionalism. You could truly feel that our safety was his priority. On our way back to the bus, he even made iced duck for us before we get on the bus, such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made the day even more memorable. We would happily do it again, maybe in another season to see Takayama and Shirakawago in a different light.

It was convenient to book the tour to Shirakawa-go. The tour guide arrived on time at the meeting point, and her instructions were generally clear on the time and meeting points for each destination.

I highly recommend this tour. Although the drive was a bit long, seeing the snow-covered Shirakawa-go village makes you temporarily forget the fatigue of the journey. Takayama Old Town has a lot of delicious food and many souvenirs to choose from. The itinerary is well-arranged, with an appropriate amount of time spent at each attraction. The tour guide (Jia Jia) is friendly and reminds you of and supplements travel information along the way. She recommends delicious restaurants or snacks, takes the group members to a fixed location, and reminds them of the boarding time before letting everyone explore freely. This is different from the usual guided tour, where you don't need to travel together as a group and the tour guide explains everything while leading the way. This way is more relaxed, free, and stress-free. The group members this time were also great. Everyone was very punctual when getting on and off the bus, and the itinerary was not delayed at all. It was a perfect day.

Guides were very knowledgeable about the area and even the driver can speak English. It was snowing during our visit. The time given to explore the area was just nice, not too long or too short. The agent was also very helpful to accommodate to our dietary requirements. Recommended.
