Ono District Passeios

I was very worried about the weather because there was a typhoon warning on the day of departure from Nagoya, but fortunately, when we arrived at Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, it wasn't raining, so we were able to enjoy the tour as planned. I sincerely thank Guide Lim Ho, who kindly provided tourist information in Korean and Chinese during this tour with my husband. He meticulously shared not only the historical background of the region but also hidden gems for dining and must-try foods, which made the tour even richer. Thanks to our guide, the Hida beef sushi and sake coin tasting were truly the best! Although the wait was a bit long, the soba noodles we had at the Michelin-starred restaurant, and the ice cream and soy sauce dango we enjoyed for dessert... I now understand why this tour is a must-do when visiting Nagoya. Shirakawa-go's Gassho-zukuri village in June was incredibly lush and green, making every photo beautiful no matter how it was taken. Especially when traveling, my husband and I usually only have solo photos because we take turns taking pictures of each other, but thanks to Guide Lim Ho, who took wonderful commemorative photos for us, we were able to capture precious couple photos and create great memories together. It was a perfect tour that made my weather worries seem insignificant. Thank you once again!

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.

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.

Cici was a great guide, she was fluent in 3 languages, she gave us freedom to follow her around or to explore by ourselves. Felt a bit rushed in Gujo Hachiman, but the rest felt we had much much spare time to explore. Going with a tour like these is way cheaper than going by yourself.

Como estos lugares están a más de dos horas de Nagoya en coche, definitivamente vale la pena unirse a un tour local. El guía fue excelente: responsable, bien organizado y nos dio mucho tiempo libre, que fue más que suficiente para la visita. Me encantó la primera parada, vale mucho la pena el viaje. El punto de encuentro 'Silver Clock' es muy fácil de encontrar, y los mapas y sugerencias proporcionados por el guía fueron detallados y fáciles de seguir. También crearon grupos de WhatsApp y WeChat para asegurar una comunicación fluida durante todo el día.

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

It’s our first international trip and we don’t regret availing this tour package as we really enjoyed the places we’ve been to. Maxwell is very patient as he needs to speak two languages (korean english). He’s very accommodating and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the history of each places. The travel was very smooth and safe. We really appreciate his effort for dropping us by a shoe shop after the tour. Will definetly look for him again when we come back to explore more places in Japan.

I highly recommend using the hotel transfer service when traveling with elderly family members and children. The merchant was very thoughtful in asking about our needs and provided direct pick-up and drop-off at the hotel entrance. This time, because we had a stroller, they even upgraded our vehicle. Our driver, Mr. Lin, was also very friendly, and his driving skills were excellent and safe. After arriving at each destination, we had two hours for free exploration, which was just right. We simply met the driver at the drop-off point to get back in the car. All in all, I highly recommend this service.

El lugar más hermoso en el que he estado en Japón. La caminata para principiantes/visitantes por primera vez, con un tiempo asignado de 1.5 horas, es más que suficiente para tomar fotos/videos en el camino y llegar al Puente donde se encuentran los restaurantes. Puedes almorzar aquí. Prueba el pastel de manzana y el helado de manzana.
