Prefeitura de Aichi Passeios

This day trip to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go Gassho Village was very well-organized. The tour guide introduced the attractions and meeting times on the bus, then allowed travelers free time upon arrival, with a final meeting at a designated spot. I really enjoyed this style of travel. Compared to traditional day trips where you have to follow the guide the whole time, this itinerary was much more relaxed and flexible. There was no pressure to rush or be hurried, allowing us to explore at our own pace. In Hida Takayama, we savored delicious Hida beef skewers and pudding; in Shirakawa-go, we not only admired many beautiful Gassho-zukuri houses but also took many stunning photos. Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable day trip experience, highly recommended to everyone!

Our guide, Tao, was very patient and knowledgeable about Japanese culture, having spent 20 years deeply immersed in Japan. My navigation system was a bit off, but Tao patiently guided me to the parking lot. The parking lot was on a slope, and the navigation led me to the back, making me think there was no road. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. It rained on the way there and back today, but thankfully the weather was clear and sunny during our sightseeing! We arrived in Takayama at 10:30 AM. Takayama Old Town has many interesting small shops. We passed by Takayama Betsuin and also visited Takayama Jinya, the only existing local government office from the Edo period in Japan. Around 1:00 PM, we had a Hida beef set meal for lunch. At 1:55 PM, we arrived at Shirakawa-go Gassho Village. The village architecture, with its thatched-roof wooden houses, was truly impressive. At 3:25 PM, we departed for Nagoya. The itinerary was excellent, saving us the trouble of traveling by ourselves.

I saw a TikTok about this place and became so fixated that I HAD to go there no matter what. Taking this tour was a great choice as it allowed for an easy transfer to and from Kamikochi. The first stop at Taisho Pond was breathtaking, which got me excited for the rest of the walk. The greenery of the forest in mid-June was a sight to behold, along with the Japanese Alps in the distance. The trail was not super crowded until you reached Kappa Bridge. There is also an additional trail to Myojin Bridge and Myojin First Pond, but only if you have an additional 2 hours to spare. I was taking my time on the first trail so I couldn't make it to the second, but I would definitely come back to do it!

◎ The timing was well-arranged; we not only visited three areas of Ghibli Park but also toured the famous Toyota Museum in Japan, making the itinerary very fulfilling. ◎ The round-trip bus saved a lot of time that would have been spent on self-driving and transfers. The bus was quite comfortable, and I fell asleep on the way back. ◎ The tour guide was a very interesting Japanese gentleman, I think his name was "Ushida Taiyo." On the way there, he patiently introduced the itinerary, counted the number of people, and livened up the atmosphere. On the way back, seeing that everyone was quite tired, he started singing for us and even handed out song sheets to everyone (Ponyo's theme song, which Fan Xiaoxuan covered as "Doudoulong"). The trip was quite enjoyable. ◎ Ghibli Park is well worth a visit; it's Miyazaki's world everywhere. I spent a long time taking photos at the Grand Warehouse. At Witch's Valley, I didn't have the patience to wait in long lines, so I only spent an hour there and rode the carousel 🎠. There were many tourists from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and they were all quite enthusiastic and proactively offered to help take photos, which felt really nice. ◎ Afterwards, we went to the Toyota Museum and saw many cars, souvenirs, and related cultural exhibits. It was very good.

I really enjoyed this tour. Nancy is super knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information. It was possible to leave stuff in the bus at different stops, which made the sightseeing much more relaxing.

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.

The Nagoya Inuyama Castle & Magome-juku Full-Day Cultural Tour had a well-planned itinerary and offered a great cultural experience. The places we visited were beautiful and worth seeing, especially for those interested in history and traditional Japanese towns. It was quite hot during the tour, which made the day a bit tiring, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the cultural and historical side of the Nagoya area.

This was my second time booking with this travel agency. We departed on time and arrived back in Nagoya exactly at 6 PM. The journey was smooth, and there were only eight of us on the shuttle bus, which made it very comfortable. I’m satisfied with the service, even though the weather wasn’t ideal—it was raining and the Alps didn’t show. I still had a great experience overall. I would definitely book again next time.

10/10 best travel experience of my life so far!! Tour was very full of amazing locations and our guide, Max, was very friendly and kind, giving knowledgeable explanations along the way and taking us on a fun course through each main location. The schedule was efficient and there was a good balance between group time together and some solo time to explore and meander about on our own. The schedule was ery well organized and efficient, and thanks to our guide keeping us updated on departure and arrival times, we got to do the full itinerary. The assistant guide was equally lovely to meet and talk with, and the driver was very safe on the roads. Lists of places to see and visit for each location we visited were provided, facilitating our movements whether with the group or ourselves. Both English and Korean were provided on my trip. Time flew by too fast, I wish I could go on tour again!! I hope to book another soon! ^^ Don't miss the chance and take this tour!!
