Gujo

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! 👍

The guide was very nice and accommodating. The mini bus ride is very comfortable and the itinerary is very clear. The time was just enough to explore a lot of places. A good experience!

Erittäin hyvin ajoitettu kierros, jossa oli runsaasti aikaa tutustua jokaiseen alueeseen. Opas Lui Chang oli erittäin ammattitaitoinen ja puhuu kolmea kieltä. Tämä ei ole opastettu kierros. Opas selittää vain, mitä alueella voi tehdä ja mihin aikaan meidän on palattava bussiin, ja sitten lähdemme tutkimaan aluetta omatoimisesti.

Before departure, we were invited to join a messaging group where we could get information or ask any questions about the trip. Tour leader Xiao Yu arranged the entire itinerary—including timing, routes, transportation, and accommodations—very satisfactorily, and proactively took photos for group members along the way. On the first day, we departed from the meeting point in Nagoya for Kamikochi. On the tour bus, the tour leader distributed images and details regarding routes 1 and 2, including estimated times, and asked everyone to choose their preferred route for coordination and information. In the evening, we stayed at a hot spring ryokan with two meals included. On the second day, we headed to Kurobe Tateyama. The weather that day was extremely severe, with heavy wind and rain. The entire schedule simply consisted of getting on and off the bus, stepping outside briefly, and using the restroom. In the evening, we checked into a nice hotel and enjoyed a Japanese-style dinner. On the third day, after having a buffet breakfast at the hotel, we set off for Shirakawa-go, Hida-Takayama, Gujo Hachiman, and returned to Nagoya.

Osallistuin Takayama plus Shirakawa-gon kierrokselle, johon sisältyi näköalapaikka. Aikaa annettiin riittävästi jokaiseen kohteeseen.

There were 7 participants, 1 Japanese (myself) and the rest Taiwanese, and I was satisfied with the timing. We departed 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. We were able to depart ahead of schedule for the entire trip. If the itinerary had been reversed, I think the food and drinks would have been better.

Our driver and tour guide, Abu, was incredibly kind and provided excellent service. He was very friendly and helpful throughout the trip, and the itinerary and timing were perfectly arranged. The overall pace was well-managed, never feeling rushed, yet making full use of our time, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves thoroughly and relax. The trip's itinerary was very smooth, and the routes were direct, which was a huge help for travelers like us who weren't driving. We didn't have to worry about transportation or directions, allowing us to easily visit famous attractions like Kamikochi, Shirakawa-go, and Takayama, and simply enjoy the journey. During the tour, Abu even made sure to allocate extra time for us to explore at a leisurely pace, so we never felt rushed. He was also very accommodating to all the requests from our group members, which made the entire trip run very smoothly. What impressed us most was his thoughtfulness: when he noticed everyone was resting or sleeping during the drive, he would intentionally slow down the car so we could sleep more peacefully. These seemingly small details made a huge difference for us, especially traveling with two young children. It truly showed Abu's dedication and care for his group members, making us feel very secure throughout the journey. Additionally, Abu assisted us with hotel transfers, making the entire trip even more convenient and stress-free. We are very grateful for Abu's meticulous service and thoughtful arrangements throughout the trip, which made us feel very comfortable and created wonderful travel memories! We highly recommend Abu and this tour, and we look forward to traveling with him again in the future!

Departing in mid-October, we seized the opportunity before the mountain trails closed. I had actually wanted to go for a very long time. Our tour guide, Ms. Yu, was extremely attentive the entire time, provided very clear explanations, answered all the group members' questions, and interacted with us a lot. We had a wonderful time, and both dinner and breakfast featured authentic Japanese-style meals.
