Kanazawa Zájazdy

Prehliadka bola úžasná, naša sprievodkyňa Kana bola super priateľská a poskytla všetky informácie vopred už počas cesty, takže keď prídete, už viete, čo uprednostniť a máte mapu, aby ste sa ľahko pohybovali. Prehliadka začína skoro, ale potom, keď prídete, nie je tak preplnená, čo je fajn. Lepšie je riadiť sa jej odporúčaním a ísť najprv na observatórium, keď som tam išiel po príchode, bolo takmer prázdne, ale o hodinu neskôr bolo super plné a tak to pokračovalo po zvyšok dňa. Obed bol skvelý a pekná príležitosť vyskúšať tradičný obed. Obe miesta boli úprimne dychberúce a mali sme obrovské šťastie, že sme mali super slnečný deň. Autobus bol tiež skvelý a úprimne bolo príjemné, že som nemusel 10-krát kontrolovať verejné informácie o doprave, aby som sa uistil, že idem správnym smerom :). Celkovo si myslím, že zážitok určite stojí za to, ak ste v tejto oblasti!

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.

We started and ended on time. Our tour guide, Ceasar, was helpful and knowledgeable about the tour. Special thanks to our bus driver, Yamafuji, who brought us back safely to Kanazawa.

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.

What an amazing tour! Mike was very a great guide and very knowledgeable about the towns and their history. Some of the small museums has very little information provided, but Mike was able to give us thorough explanations with engaging storytelling. We would never have found out about the wood carving village Inami, but it was such a great place to learn about local history and craft traditions. This tour provide very good value and never upcharged us or surprised us with unknown fees. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to explore beyond Kanazawa.

The accompanying tour guide was very attentive and provided explanations throughout the journey. The only downside was that the explanations were in Japanese, which I couldn't understand at all. However, the pick-up and drop-off times were clearly marked, so it wasn't inconvenient, and we had a very generous stopover time of over four hours to fully enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.

The large bus was very comfortable. The itinerary was a slow-paced activity, but with many small stops, the time at each location felt compressed. It might be better to allocate more time for the morning market. The tour guide's explanations could be improved by appropriately switching between Japanese and Chinese, allowing for a deeper understanding of the destinations and more extensive introductions, which would enrich the experience. The best part of this trip was that the Noto Peninsula, in an effort to promote tourism, provided each person with a 4,000 yen voucher to spend, which was fantastic. This tour also thoughtfully provided lunch.

Great walking tour in Kanazawa! Keita was very fluent in English and extremely knowledgeable. He kindly explained everything to us and gave us some great recommendations. The taxi ride was a great plus, as it allowed us to visit the geisha district as well.

We are very grateful to the tour group for still running the tour even though it was just my wife and me! Throughout the trip, our guides, Liam and Michael, diligently shared information about the attractions and helped us take photos! They also allowed us to experience the beautiful natural scenery of Kurobe Gorge and the unforgettable Shomyo Falls! We hope to have the opportunity to visit various historical sites and natural landscapes with the guides again in the future!
