De Kanazawa: Shirakawa-go, Gokayama e Vila da Talha em Madeira

What an amazing tour! Mike was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the towns and their history. Some of the small museums had very little information provided, but Mike was able to give us thorough explanations with engaging storytelling. We would never have found out about the wood carving village Inami, but it was such a great place to learn about local history and craft traditions. This tour provided very good value and never upcharged us or surprised us with unknown fees. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to explore beyond Kanazawa.

我们是仅有的两位顾客，而导游Adeline也恰好来自香港，所以我们用粤语交流。她非常棒，推荐了很多好吃的餐馆。井波和相仓村确实是人迹罕至的地方，我们可以在那里享受宁静，没有成群的游客。制作日本纸的过程确实很有趣。当然，白川乡也非常美丽。强烈推荐这次旅行。

I had an absolutely brilliant time during this tour! Our tour guide was very insightful, knowledgeable, and knew the locals well! We were able to try some local handmade sweets as well as warm tea for free, while searching for all the little kittens around Inami! Stunning history and views. I'd highly recommend. The transfer for me heading from Kanazawa to Takayama was incredibly easy. They just took my bags to the other bus for me, I didn't have to lift a finger! I'd say the only con for me is booking with Klook, you annoyingly can't just book one ticket so I had to buy 1 adult and 1 child ticket even though it was just me :( so for any solo travelers reading this I'd recommend booking directly with the tour guide company instead for a better deal!

The trip was a breathtaking and unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Daniel's friendly personality and enthusiasm made the entire tour feel warm and welcoming. He was attentive to the group's needs, always ready to answer questions, and made sure everyone had the best experience possible.

J'ai adoré ! C'était ma première fois à Shirakawa-gō et j'ai aimé chaque instant de cette excursion. Nous avons pu visiter des temples non touristiques et nous sommes allés fabriquer des poivrons faits à la main à Gokayama ! Ce fut une excellente expérience. Le temps était avec nous. Il faisait vraiment ensoleillé et les villages n'étaient pas bondés, donc toute l'expérience était paisible ! Merci à notre guide incroyable, nous avons passé un excellent moment.

Juste comme décrit, et un guide très accueillant, nous sommes allés à tous les endroits que nous voulions et c'était un petit groupe premium de 8 personnes, nous 3 inclus. Vraiment apprécié que ce choix aléatoire se soit transformé en une surprise.

The itinerary was well-organized with plenty of time to explore each attraction. Our guide, Daniel gave clear explanations, took great care of the group, and we enjoyed a fun hands-on washi paper making experience. Shirakawa-go still had some melting snow, but the scenery was absolutely stunning. Travel times from Kanazawa were reasonable overall (only the first leg was longer).

It was a lovely day trip, Inami is small but beautiful and the craft of the master woodcarvers is impressive with and equally impressive Shrine, the hidden wooden cats along town were a great touch, Ainakura is a little town with the same architectural style of houses as shirakawa go but with less general activity, great sights and we had a great meal at the soba and udon restaurant, the paper making experience was fun and really interesting to watch and learn, shirakawa go is beautiful, we got the chance to enter one of the houses and take a look at the history of the family who lived there, the sights at the observatory are breathtaking, overall the trip was excellent, our guide Emily was really kind and informative, she even gave us some suggestions for dinner back at kanazawa, thank you so much

Incredible excursion! Inami is truly an amazing place where EVERYTHING is carved from wood; it's magnificent 🤩 and so peaceful! And of course, the villages are worth a visit! I recommend it 100%.

Lee was a fantastic guide and gave us very relevant and interesting insight into Japanese culture and traditions. He knew his way around each site and it was clear the locals were familiar with him as well. He also gave excellent food recommendations for Kanazawa and other parts of Japan! Wear boots with good traction if going in the winter!
