Nagoya Day trips

Magical Kamikochi experience (and lots of monkeys!) despite the weather. I joined the Kamikochi 1-day tour yesterday, and even though the weather wasn’t ideal, I had a truly amazing experience! We hiked the trail from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. A wonderful highlight was seeing a lot of wild monkeys passing right by us along the way: A huge thank you to our tour guide, Mr. Gu Rung, who was incredibly kind, approachable, and spoke excellent, easy-to-understand English. Our bus driver also deserves special praise-he was very patient and understanding with group members who ran late, keeping the trip stress-free. The combination of beautiful nature, wildlife, and great hospitality made this an unforgettable day. I would absolutely love to book another tour with this company in the future!

Anyone who isn't sure which tour company to choose should take a look at my experience. My tour guide this time was Ryuu Ken (Little Liu), and he was absolutely wonderful! He is fluent in Japanese, English, and Chinese 👍 and is also extremely responsible! We had 1.5 hours at the Takayama Old Town and 2.5 hours at Shirakawa-go. I felt that 1.5 hours at Takayama Old Town was a bit short to fully enjoy it, but I still managed to eat everything I wanted to! The other members of the group were also of very high quality; the bus rides were super quiet, and everyone was extremely punctual. Based on my observations, there were foreigners, people from Hong Kong, and people from Taiwan! Our driver, Mr. Ishikawa, was also very skilled, and the bus was extremely clean with no strange odors or cigarette smoke. All in all, I highly recommend joining a guided day trip to Takayama.

It was a very fun and informative tour! Takayama and Shirakawa-go are very beautiful places. Our guide Stacey was very accommodating to our needs and kept us entertained throughout our tour. I would recommend this tour.

Thanks to our guide Max, this tour was wonderful because we were able to visit Shirakawago, Takayama, and Gujo Hachiman—places I really wanted to see—all in just one day! It was so convenient to easily visit spots that would otherwise be a hassle to reach independently, and each region had its own unique atmosphere, making it a lot of fun to explore 😊 Anyone who loves nature and the countryside will be very satisfied with this tour! The guide was also friendly and gave great explanations, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks to you, I made many wonderful memories 🥰 I would definitely love to use this tour again the next time I visit another destination. It was a well-planned and satisfying tour. Highly recommended! 👍

Arriving at the meeting point on time allows you to start your relaxing day trip, which is very convenient and hassle-free. On the way back, seeing individual travelers waiting in a long line for their return transportation made me realize how right I was to book a day tour.

excellent tour with a good pace, 5 hour tour in the Ghibli Park was more than enough to explore the must see sights. Unforunately the entry ticket for Howl's moving castle was sold out on the day of visit, but it still was a nice experience to immerse yourself in the world of Studio Ghibli. Only a small fee to enter Witches' house etc, but it was worth it if you wish to see the house in real life. the frand warehouse has a little threatre and the 20 min show was excellent. Our Guide, Satomi was friendly and has been very attentive, she explained every must remember points for our tour. Also, Punctunality is a key in this tour, if you missed the meet up time, then the group will leave without you

We met at the Silver Clock in Nagoya Station, which was a very easy-to-find location! As a solo traveler, I was initially quite worried, but the tour guide spoke fluent Japanese, Mandarin, and English, and gave very clear instructions. We spent two hours at each of the two attractions, which felt like just enough time. There's no way around it, as the round trip from Nagoya takes almost five hours in total. However, having a dedicated car service is a must for solo travelers and those without a driver's license. The tour bus was clean and comfortable, and I was very satisfied overall. We returned to Nagoya Station around 6:30 PM that evening, and the timing was consistent with the itinerary description!

Shirakawa-go and Takayama Tour is one of the best tours you can get in Nagoya. The tour consists of going to Takayama with some guided excursions. The orientation while inside the bus with the maps provided by the guide was enough for us to be well-guided with the best places to go in Takayama and Shirakawa-go. This tour provided observation deck access, which allowed us to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The tour in Takayama is one of the best tours we had since we were able to roam freely. In Shirakawa-go, we were also able to roam freely.

Cici was a great guide, she was fluent in 3 languages, she gave us freedom to follow her around or to explore by ourselves. Felt a bit rushed in gujo hachiman, but the rest felt we had much much spare time to explore. Going with a tour like these is way cheaper than going by yourself.
