Celodenná prehliadka Shirakawa-go a starého mesta Takayama (voliteľný obed s hovädzím mäsom Hida)

Sprievodca Tao bol veľmi trpezlivý, v Japonsku pôsobí už 20 rokov a veľmi dobre pozná japonskú kultúru. Keďže moja navigácia bola trochu posunutá, sprievodca Tao trpezlivo navigoval k parkovisku. Parkovisko bolo na kopci a navigácia ma viedla zaň, takže som si myslel, že tam nie je cesta. Ospravedlňujem sa za spôsobené nepríjemnosti. Dnes pršalo pri ceste tam aj späť, ale počas prehliadky bolo slnečno☀️. O 10:30 sme dorazili do Takayamy⛰️. V starej štvrti Takayamy je veľa zaujímavých obchodíkov, prešli sme okolo Takayama Betsuin a navštívili Takayama Jinya – jedinú existujúcu budovu okresného úradu v Japonsku. Okolo 13:00 sme si dali obed s hovädzím mäsom Hida. O 13:55 sme dorazili do Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village. Architektúra dediny s drevenými domami so slamenými strechami🛖 bola veľmi pôsobivá. O 15:25 sme odišli späť do Nagoye. Výlet bol skvelý a ušetrilo nám to starosti s cestovaním.

Our guide, Liu, was thorough, approachable, and very organized. He served as both the English and Chinese guide for our bus, giving all the instructions in both languages with great energy. He also created WhatsApp and LINE groups, making it easy to receive updates and contact him throughout the tour. The ride was smooth and comfortable thanks to our drivers, Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Ikura. As a solo traveler with limited time, I found this tour to be excellent value for money. The itinerary was well planned, and we were given maps with suggested walking routes around Takayama and Shirakawa-go. There was enough free time for me to hike to the Shirakawa-go Observatory despite the summer heat. Liu also went above and beyond by taking my photos during my Hida beef lunch. We returned to Nagoya Station on schedule, and the entire trip was seamless. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this tour.

去到白川鄉的時候下雨☔️了，不過風景很美還是很開心。時間很趕，我們排隊買了布丁，還額外付費看神田家，還有幾個可付費入館參觀的地方，沒時間看了，展望台好遠，沒辦法去了，時間有限，要拿捏好到底要看什麼，飛驒高山建築物很美，商店街很長，買個五平餅還有清酒，就準備回頭了，這次衝著飛驒牛午餐去的，很好吃，因為太偏遠了才選擇一日行程，很喜歡這個導遊的帶團方式，沒有太多廢話，把主要資訊都印好給我們，要不就把資訊放在line裡，想看的人可以看，時間快到了還會附上谷歌地圖停車點，直接連結就能順利回頭，總比時間到才在找人好，不錯！我跟過這麼多一日團，這次我最滿意。

行程非常順暢!早上7:50集合人數到齊7:55即出發，第一站10:15到高山停留90分鐘自由活動，第二站午餐時間(用餐40分鐘)，雖然只有幾片飛驒牛肉，但可好好享用午餐及休息很好吃，領隊都有依照報名關係(2人、3人、4人)安排用餐坐位，非常貼心，第三站下午1:45抵達白川鄉停留90分鐘自由活動，走走逛逛時間很充裕可走完一圈白川鄉，整體時間很順暢。領隊小虞親切用心，也謝謝司機先生開車辛勞。這次參加一日遊行程，車子坐位很舒適，非常好玩。

Bara San was very helpful and informative. I had 90 minutes and takayama which was sufficient for browsing the morning markets, getting a few snacks and trying the sake gacha and testing. I had 90 minutes at shirakawago which was very rushed due to booking the lunch experience. in my opinion skip the lunch for an extra 40 minutes in shirakawago, much more worth it, there are shops selling snacks in the village anyways. All in all a beautiful place to visit. Tour guides and bus driver were pleasant, knowledgeable and responsible. Would recommend for first timers.

I think this may be my favorite tour I've ever done in Japan! Both locations were so beautiful and competely worth the money! I got the kobe beef sukiyaki lunch and it was very nice and set up for when we arrived. Takayama is definitely deserves the "Little" Kyoto" nickname is has and I could have spent another hour there exploring more. Shirakawa-go was a beautiful breath of fresh air and really peaceful to just take a walk and enjoy!

Went for the English tour and Bara-san was great at explaining the various points of interest in esch location. I reccomend getting the Hida beef lunch meal so you can spend your time in Takayama exploring. For goshuin seekers and fans of Kimi No Nawa, Hie shrine is located at the outskirts and is worth a visit too!

The travel time takes a big part of the day, but the journey itself is very scenic so it’s still enjoyable. The biggest surprise was the snowfall (the wet kind not the powedery one). The weather app didn’t predict it, so it felt extra special when the snow started falling. Even our guide, Bara-san, was surprised and said our group might have been lucky to experience it. Bara-san was a great guide—very chill, patient, and easygoing, even with guests who were a few minutes late. He spoke good English and shared short history lessons during the trip. His reminders about meeting times were never pushy or strict; it felt more like a dad gently reminding you to be back by a certain time. Takayama and Shirakawa-go looked even more magical with the snow. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable day trip. Highly recommended if you want to see traditional Japan and enjoy stunning winter scenery.

Our family (8 of us) enjoyed this tour immensely. Although our time in Takayama was not enough to explore this historic area more intently, it was enough to savor the quaint shops and sake tasting it offered. The lunch set of Hide beef in a family-run restaurant was great. The serving was generous and the A5 angus Hide beef was superbly melt-in-your-mouth. Shinakawa-go in spring presented a different persona. we were here last February and it was genuinely wrapped in snow and offered a wintery appeal. The flowers bloomed unabashedly and the rice fields laid there like a piece of art patchwork. Thank you to our Italian guide, I forgot his name, sorry. he was informative and spoke good English. it was worth the cost and it was quite a beautiful experience.

such a well planned and great trip! it snowed on the day and made the place more magical. the view is amazing and trip went smoothly with a great service and care from Yu and Iwase San. would 1000% recommended the trip to shirakawago and takayama city. dont forget to listen to Yu recommendation on food cos its all good!! dont forget to buy the water pudding and book the lunch 😍
