Verdensarv Shirakawa-go og Kanazawa dagstur

Had a great time. Our guide Keita took time to give us lots of background info. We did the full day tour that included painting the Daruma and this was a fun activity and a great way to also see parts of Kanazawa. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Yasushi was one of my favourite tour guides of all the trips during my stay in Japan - his energy was great and he was very helpful in ensuring that our visit to Shirakawa-go was a memorable one. The pace of the tour was very comfortable - we were able to visit the Shirakawa-go area without feeling rushed. The tips that Yasushi provided also were great in ensuring that we visited the best places for hida beef and pudding (a must try!). We upgraded to the afternoon tour as well and were so glad we did -while we had already visited the garden and higashi chaya, having a local guide share the experience made the visit so much more meaningful. Would highly recommend this tour!

Været var flott, en innholdsrik tur, og jeg tok fantastiske landskapsbilder. Yasushi var en utmerket guide. Under turen spurte jeg om bjørnehendelsen. Jeg beklager at engelsken min ikke er så god – jeg prøvde å spøke for å lette stemningen. Jeg håper virkelig at alle katastrofer er over og ikke vil skje igjen. Fred og sikkerhet er det viktigste.

Aiko var fantastisk. Hun snakket veldig godt engelsk, spansk, japansk og andre språk. Hun var underholdende og lærerik, og laget tilpasset materiale som forbedret opplevelsen. Turen var en flott måte å se landsbyen, hagen og gisha-distriktet på, samt å lage godteri og et postkort med bladgull. Jeg anbefaler heldagsalternativet. Beste måten å se alt på.

Amazing family day trip to Shirakawa-go with beautiful scenery. Our tour guide DEN, is very professional and friendly person. information given by her during the trip is very useful and knowledgeable.

We had the most amazing guide for this tour, Yasushi, who made the day so enjoyable and relaxing. He gave us great and valuable information on the bus so we could have as much time to ourselves in Shirakawa-go once we arrived. His local food recommendations were spot on, some of the best food we have had. The gardens were beautiful and the craft sessions were a lot of fun and something a bit different and special to add to our trip. Highly recommend this tour.

I had an excellent experience with this company during my trip to Kanazawa. I joined two tours with them: one to the charming historic village of Shirakawa-go, and another around Kanazawa city, including the stunning Kenrokuen Garden and the beautiful Geisha district (Higashi Chaya-gai). The highlight of both tours was our guide, Yasushi, who provided outstanding service from beginning to end. He was attentive, punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. His detailed explanations, engaging stories, and warm personality made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore the region with comfort, excellent organization, and a personal touch that truly enhances the journey!

I loved everything about this tour! Aiko was such a fun tour guide, I loved her energy. What’s great about this tour was how well thought out it was, it didn’t feel overbearing at all! You have the option of choosing a half day tour ton Shirakawa-go or that plus Kanazawa. I did the half day, which was a perfect amount of time (2.5 hours) to explore Shirakawa-go. what’s great is that you can actually decide to pay an additional price for the full day if you decide. Aiko provided detailed info about activities that would be done, as well as videos of what that would look like from previous tours. How efficient! I loved how Aiko had mini pop quizzes about Japan throughout the ride. It made the ride fun and entertaining. I also appreciated how she gave us a map of Shirakawa-go with suggested routes/places to go to make our time there worthwhile. That was honestly so helpful. The day started quite early, and I feel like that was perfect for us to get there early before crowds, especially since we left right when crowds started rolling in. Definitelly well planned and not overbearing at all. one of the best tours I’ve been on, thank you Aiko for the amazing experience!

Great guide that speaks very clear English being that he was a English teacher before 🫶 full of energy and fun! Getting to Shirakawago early was a great move as we got to see the place without many people.

Nice and easy tour to Shirakawa-Go from Kanazawa. Our tour guide Aiko was fun and energetic, she kept everyone engage and educated about the tour and Japan in general. The Shirakawa-go village itself was very beautiful, especially early morning when there’s not many people around.
