Nagoya Päiväretket

Participating in the Kamikochi day tour led by guide Ms. Zuo Sha was, overall, an unforgettable and highly recommended trip. The natural scenery of Kamikochi is truly stunning, and especially on a first visit, one always wants to seize the opportunity to walk further and see more. Before departure, the tour guide thoughtfully provided two route options, A and B, and kindly suggested that first-time visitors start with Option A, which goes from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge. However, because I loved the scenery of Kamikochi so much, after finishing Option A I still wanted to challenge Option B and walked all the way to Myojin Pond. As a result, I failed to manage my return time properly, causing everyone to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes. I am truly sorry to the guide, my fellow group members, and the driver who worked hard to pick us up and drop us off. Especially considering that Japan has strict regulations regarding the working hours of professional drivers, my delay may have increased the driver's workload, which makes me feel even more apologetic. I am also extremely grateful for everyone's patience and understanding. Additionally, although there were some minor communication hiccups during this trip, I deeply appreciate the guide's subsequent attitude and adjustments. She not only proactively showed care, but I could also feel her sincere desire to improve her service. In truth, the service industry is never easy; whether it is the tour guide or the driver, every link requires mutual cooperation. Good service is worth recognizing, and travelers should also offer a little more understanding and empathy. Finally, thank you to the guide for taking care of us along the way, and thank you to the driver for the hard work and safe transportation. This trip to Kamikochi not only allowed me to enjoy beautiful scenery, but also gave me much to reflect upon. Highly recommended!

It was a worthwhile experience. The meeting place at VIP bus liner is accessible from our Sakae hotel. Punctuality means 30 minutes earlier as the bus leaves right on time. If you want to explore food on your own choose without lunch as the booked lunch was served past 2pm . We enjoyed hida beef skewers at Takayama and the grilled Hida beef at Shira kawago, it was soooo good my 11 years old definitely loved it. Shout out to our very accommodating guide Mr. BARA-SAN, thank you for sharing the history, culture and practices of the places we went to.

This was a very good tour, and every place felt so distinct and beautiful to look at. I wasn't bored even once! The tour guide (I forgot her name) was very caring and fun to listen to. Takayama City felt a little rushed, but I think that was because we visited two different places in the same day, so it wasn't a big deal. Finally, the Hida beef was delicious—you have to try it!

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! 👍

Erinomainen retki sopivalla tahdilla. Viiden tunnin kierros Ghibli-puistossa oli enemmän kuin riittävä kaikkien pakollisten nähtävyyksien tutkimiseen. Valitettavasti Liikkuvan linnan sisäänpääsyliput olivat loppuunmyytyinä vierailupäivänä, mutta se oli silti mukava kokemus ja antoi mahdollisuuden uppoutua Studio Ghiblin maailmaan. Noitien talon ja muiden kohteiden sisäänpääsymaksu on pieni, mutta se oli sen arvoista, jos haluaa nähdä talon tosielämässä. Suuressa varastossa on pieni teatteri, ja 20 minuutin esitys oli erinomainen. Oppaamme Satomi oli ystävällinen ja erittäin huomaavainen, ja hän kertoi kaikki tärkeät muistettavat asiat kierrostamme varten. Tällä retkillä täsmällisyys on myös avainasemassa: jos myöhästyt sovitusta tapaamisajasta, ryhmä lähtee ilman sinua.

Had a wonderful time on this nature trip! 🌿🌳 The fresh air, beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking views made every moment special. A perfect escape from the busy routine and a beautiful reminder of how amazing nature is. Also our tourguide is pretty cool and approachable ☺️ Truly refreshing and unforgettable! 💚✨

Shirakawa-go ja Takayama Tour on yksi parhaista retkistä, joita Nagoyassa voi kokea. Retki sisältää matkan Takayamaan opastettujen retkien kera. Opastus bussissa oppaan antamien karttojen avulla riitti meille, jotta osasimme suunnistaa hyvin Takayaman ja Shirakawa-gon parhaisiin kohteisiin. Tämä retki tarjosi pääsyn näköalatasanteelle, mikä mahdollisti kuvien ottamisen ja matkamuistojen ostamisen. Takayaman retki oli yksi parhaista, koska saimme liikkua vapaasti. Shirakawa-gossa saimme myös liikkua vapaasti.

Todella vaikuttava matkaohjelma ja runsaasti aikaa jokaisessa kohteessa. Sää oli hieman sateinen, mutta se teki tunnelmasta vieläkin erityisemmän. Nautin todella paljon! Opas Han on supermukava ja antoi runsaasti tietoa paikoista, joissa vierailimme, mutta myös Nagoyasta.

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!
