Coisas para fazer em Prefeitura de Gifu

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.

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.

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!

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.

Ordering was very convenient, and I highly recommend this trip. The time allocation was very sufficient! Our guide this time was Vivian, a very enthusiastic and professional guide. In addition to questions about the itinerary itself, she also provided or answered questions about Nagoya travel information. It was great! I will definitely book similar trips again and hope that Vivian will be the guide!
