Coisas para fazer em Prefeitura de Gifu

On the day of our departure from Nagoya, we were very worried about the weather due to news of a typhoon. However, the tour proceeded as planned, and fortunately, when we arrived in Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, it wasn't raining, allowing us to truly enjoy our trip. I extend my sincere gratitude to our guide, Lim Ho, who kindly provided tour information in both Korean and Chinese during this tour with my husband. He meticulously shared not only the historical background of the region but also hidden culinary gems and must-try foods, which enriched our tour experience even further. The Hida beef sushi and sake coin tasting we enjoyed, thanks to our guide, were absolutely superb! Although the wait was a bit long, the soba noodles we had at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and the ice cream and soy sauce dango we savored for dessert... it made me 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 look beautiful. Usually, when my husband and I travel, we only have individual photos because we're busy taking pictures of each other. However, 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, making our weather worries seem unfounded. Thank you once again!

Our guide, Tao, was very patient and has been deeply involved with Japan for 20 years, so he has a great understanding of Japanese culture. My navigation was a bit off, but Tao patiently guided me to the parking lot. The parking lot was on a slope, and my navigation led me behind it, making me think there was no road.😅 Sorry for the trouble! It rained on the way there and back today, but luckily 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 county magistrate's office 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. We departed at 3:25 PM for Nagoya. The itinerary was excellent and saved us the hassle of traveling on our own.

Gostei muito deste passeio. A Nancy é super informada e partilhou muitas informações interessantes. Foi possível deixar as coisas no autocarro em diferentes paragens, o que tornou a visita turística muito mais relaxante.

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 foi uma ótima guia, ela era fluente em 3 idiomas, nos deu liberdade para segui-la ou para explorar por conta própria. Nos sentimos um pouco apressados em Gujo Hachiman, mas no restante sentimos que tivemos bastante tempo de sobra para explorar. Fazer um passeio como este é muito mais barato do que ir sozinho.

Como esses locais ficam a mais de duas horas de carro de Nagoya, vale muito a pena participar de um tour local. O guia foi excelente — responsável, bem organizado e ofereceu bastante tempo livre, o que foi mais do que suficiente para a visita. Adorei a primeira parada, vale muito a pena a viagem. O ponto de encontro 'Silver Clock' é muito fácil de encontrar, e os mapas e sugestões fornecidos pelo guia foram detalhados e fáceis de seguir. Eles também criaram grupos no WhatsApp e WeChat para garantir uma comunicação contínua durante todo o dia.

O passeio foi incrível, nossa guia Kana foi super simpática e forneceu todas as informações antecipadamente durante o trajeto, então, ao chegar, você já sabe o que priorizar e tem um mapa para se locomover facilmente. O passeio começa cedo, mas, ao chegar, não está tão lotado, o que é bom. É melhor seguir a recomendação dela e ir primeiro ao observatório; quando fui logo após a chegada, estava quase vazio, mas uma hora depois estava super cheio e continuou assim o resto do dia. O almoço foi ótimo e uma boa oportunidade para experimentar um almoço tradicional. Ambos os lugares eram honestamente deslumbrantes e tivemos muita sorte de ter um dia super ensolarado. O ônibus também foi ótimo e foi realmente bom não ter que verificar 10 vezes as informações públicas de transporte para ter certeza de que estava indo na direção certa :). No geral, acho que a experiência definitivamente vale a pena se você estiver na área!

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!
