Kanazawa Zájazdy

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!

First, I'd like to thank our tour guide, Ms. Anna, for leading us on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour on May 8th. From the moment we boarded the bus, she provided very detailed explanations and repeated them in both Chinese and English. It seemed like if there were Japanese participants, she might have even explained it in Japanese again. She was able to explain the origins of everything, from the history of Tateyama and its scenic spots to the herbs on the Chizushi bento box, which was truly impressive. Furthermore, during the tour, she would always be the first to arrive at the meeting point, holding her flag high, and would frequently offer helpful tips, such as information on limited-edition local products, seating areas, recommended seating positions on public transport, crowd control, and perfect timing. In short, she is a truly admirable person. Regarding the attractions, I honestly feel we were very lucky. I initially thought it would be a day ruined by heavy rain, as it was pouring heavily on the way to Tateyama Station... My heart sank at that moment. I thought, "How are we going to enjoy anything like this?" However, from Tateyama Station onwards, the rain stopped. Then, at Murodo, at a crucial moment, there was only fog and wind, but the visibility was still very good, making the experience uniquely enjoyable. The fog even created a snow-like, yet not quite snowy, atmosphere. Besides our own group, I saw many other tourists having a great time. Later, at Daikanbo, there was no rain or fog when we were at the observation deck or riding the ropeway. We were able to take in the entire panoramic view, which was truly breathtaking. Any photo taken there could easily be a postcard. At Kurobe Lake and Kurobe Dam, I had heard there would be significant rain, but by the time our group arrived at Kurobe Lake, the rain had stopped, and visibility was incredibly high. The unobstructed view of the dam was another kind of spectacular and magnificent sight. Was our group blessed with some special luck? Thank you to our tour guide and the hardworking driver. Watching him drive precisely and smoothly on the dark, winding roads on the way back showed his extensive experience. Most of the tourists, including myself, slept soundly. Thank you to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience on this one-day tour! I would definitely recommend this to friends who aspire to travel independently but also want an easy way to experience the Kurobe Tateyama Alpine Route.

Mali sme skvelý zážitok na prehliadke Shirakawa-go, Kenrokuen a Higashi-Chaya. Tempo bolo trochu uponáhľané, ale bolo to presne to, čo sme potrebovali, aby sme videli všetky hlavné atrakcie za jediný deň. Tiež sme veľmi ocenili, že prehliadka začala a skončila presne načas. Obrovské poďakovanie patrí nášmu sprievodcovi Cesarovi za veľmi dôkladnú prehliadku, jasné pokyny a užitočné tipy na prehliadku pamiatok. Odviedol skvelú prácu pri dodržiavaní harmonogramu pre všetkých. Poďakovanie patrí aj Ikeda-sanovi, nášmu vodičovi autobusu, za bezpečnú jazdu napriek silnému sneženiu a za to, že nám láskavo požičal svoj dáždnik. Organizátor zájazdu bol tiež veľmi pohotový pri odpovedaní na naše otázky cez WhatsApp, čo všetko uľahčilo. Celkovo dobre organizovaná prehliadka a skvelá možnosť, ak chcete za jeden deň stihnúť veľa.

Bola to skvelá prehliadka s nadšeným sprievodcom Xia Xi a bezpečným japonským vodičom. Veľký autobus bol čistý a pohodlný. Scenéria po ceste bola nádherná. Všetko prebehlo dobre. Mali sme veľké šťastie, že sme mali sprievodcu, ktorý hovoril jasne a poskytoval podrobné pokyny, informácie a odporúčania ústne aj cez WhatsApp. Itinerár bol vynikajúci s dostatočným časom na každej zastávke. Prehliadka je samoobslužná, takže sme si užili flexibilitu robiť, čo chceme, a voľne sa pohybovať na základe mnohých miest navrhnutých Xia Xi, ktorý nám poslal presnú polohu na Google Maps cez WhatsApp. Poskytol nám aj mapy a dal tipy na jedlo. Bývali sme v hoteli MyStays Kanazawa. Izby sú čisté a nové, ale veľmi malé. Manželská posteľ je tiež veľmi malá pre dvoch ľudí. Pri rezervácii tejto prehliadky je najlepšie požiadať o oddelené postele. Raňajky v hoteli boli skvelé s bohatým výberom miestnych a kontinentálnych jedál. Celkovo sme si túto prehliadku veľmi užili. Veľmi ju odporúčame namiesto jednodňovej prehliadky Shirakawago/Takayama.

Skvele sme sa zabavili. Náš sprievodca Keita si našiel čas, aby nám poskytol množstvo doplňujúcich informácií. Absolvovali sme celodennú prehliadku, ktorá zahŕňala maľovanie Darumy, čo bola zábavná aktivita a skvelý spôsob, ako spoznať aj časti Kanazawy. Túto prehliadku by som určite odporučil.

Sprievodca bol veľmi priateľský a ochotne odpovedal na každú našu otázku. Bolo zaujímavé vidieť takmer zabudnuté japonské remeslá.

Karolína je úžasná sprievodkyňa. Je veľmi vzdelaná, priateľská a prístupná. Vrelo ju odporúčam.

The trip, the people, the places, the food everything was so great. I just wish we had more time to explore deeper, time wasn’t enough other than that everything was great🙂I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Táto prehliadka bola veľmi zábavná. Náš sprievodca Daniel bol vzdelaný, sebavedomý a veľmi dobre sa o mňa aj o ostatných hostí postaral. Túto cestu vrelo odporúčam každému, kto chce podrobný pohľad do Kanazawy.
