Aichi Jednodňové výlety

The day trip to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go Gassho Village was very well-organized overall. The tour guide introduced the attractions and meeting times on the bus, then allowed travelers free time upon arrival, with a final meeting at a designated location. I really enjoyed this style of travel. Compared to traditional day trips where you have to follow the guide the entire time, this itinerary was much more relaxed and comfortable. There was no pressure to rush or be hurried, allowing us to explore at our own pace. During this trip, we savored delicious Hida beef skewers and pudding in Hida Takayama. In Shirakawa-go, we not only admired many beautiful Gassho-zukuri houses but also took many stunning photos. Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable day trip experience, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

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.

Videl som TikTok o tomto mieste a stal som sa super posadnutým, že som sem MUSÍM ísť za každú cenu. Absolvovanie tejto túry bola skvelá voľba, pretože umožnila ľahký transfer do a z Kamikochi. Prvá zastávka pri jazere Taisho Ike bola úchvatná, čo ma nadchlo pre zvyšok prechádzky. Zelená farba lesa v polovici júna bola nádherný pohľad spolu s Japonskými Alpami v diaľke. Chodník nebol super preplnený, kým ste nedorazili k mostu Kappa. Je tu aj dodatočný chodník k mostu Myojin a prvému jazeru Myojin, ale len ak máte k dispozícii ďalšie 2 hodiny. Na prvom chodníku som si dával načas, takže som sa nedostal na druhý, ale určite by som sa vrátil, aby som to urobil!!

◎ The timing was excellent; we not only explored three areas of Ghibli Park but also visited Japan's renowned Toyota Museum. The itinerary was very fulfilling. ◎ The round-trip bus saved us a lot of time we would have spent on transfers. The bus was quite comfortable, and I even fell asleep on the way back. ◎ Our tour guide was a very interesting Japanese gentleman, I believe his name was "Ushida Yasuhiro." On the way there, he patiently introduced the itinerary, counted heads, and kept the atmosphere lively. On the way back, seeing that everyone was tired, he started singing for us and even handed out song sheets (Ponyo's theme song, which Fan Xiaoxuan covered as "Doudoulong"). The trip was quite enjoyable. ◎ Ghibli Park is definitely worth a visit; it's Miyazaki's world everywhere you look. I spent a long time taking photos in the Ghibli's Grand Warehouse. At Mononoke Village, I didn't have the patience to wait in long lines, so I only spent about an hour there and rode the carousel 🎠. There were many tourists from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and they were all quite enthusiastic and willing to help take photos, which was very nice. ◎ Afterwards, we went to the Toyota Museum and saw many cars, souvenirs, and cultural exhibits. It was excellent.

Prehliadka Shirakawa-go a Takayama je jednou z najlepších prehliadok, ktoré môžete absolvovať v Nagoji. Prehliadka zahŕňa cestu do Takayamy s niekoľkými sprevádzanými exkurziami. Orientácia v autobuse s mapami poskytnutými sprievodcom nám stačila na to, aby sme sa dobre zorientovali v najlepších miestach, kam ísť v Takayame a Shirakawa-go. Táto prehliadka poskytovala prístup na vyhliadkovú plošinu, čo nám umožnilo fotiť a nakupovať suveníry. Prehliadka v Takayame je jednou z najlepších prehliadok, aké sme mali, pretože sme sa mohli voľne pohybovať. V Shirakawa-go sme sa tiež mohli voľne pohybovať.

Túto prehliadku som si naozaj užil. Nancy je mimoriadne vzdelaná a podelila sa o množstvo zaujímavých informácií. Na rôznych zastávkach bolo možné nechať veci v autobuse, čo výrazne spríjemnilo prehliadku pamiatok.

Celodenná kultúrna prehliadka hradu Inuyama a Magome-juku v Nagoji mala dobre naplánovaný itinerár a ponúkla skvelý kultúrny zážitok. Miesta, ktoré sme navštívili, boli krásne a stáli za to vidieť, najmä pre tých, ktorí sa zaujímajú o históriu a tradičné japonské mestá. Počas prehliadky bolo dosť horúco, čo deň trochu unavilo, ale celkovo bol zážitok príjemný. Túto prehliadku by som určite odporučil každému, kto chce preskúmať kultúrnu a historickú stránku oblasti Nagoja.

Toto bolo moje druhé rezervovanie s touto cestovnou kanceláriou. Odleteli sme načas a vrátili sa do Nagoje presne o 18:00. Cesta bola hladká a v kyvadlovom autobuse nás bolo len osem, čo ju urobilo veľmi pohodlnou. So službou som spokojný, aj keď počasie nebolo ideálne – pršalo a Alpy sa neukázali. Celkovo som mal aj tak skvelý zážitok. Určite by som si rezervoval znova nabudúce.

10/10 best travel experience of my life so far!! Tour was very full of amazing locations and our guide, Max, was very friendly and kind, giving knowledgeable explanations along the way and taking us on a fun course through each main location. The schedule was efficient and there was a good balance between group time together and some solo time to explore and meander about on our own. The schedule was ery well organized and efficient, and thanks to our guide keeping us updated on departure and arrival times, we got to do the full itinerary. The assistant guide was equally lovely to meet and talk with, and the driver was very safe on the roads. Lists of places to see and visit for each location we visited were provided, facilitating our movements whether with the group or ourselves. Both English and Korean were provided on my trip. Time flew by too fast, I wish I could go on tour again!! I hope to book another soon! ^^ Don't miss the chance and take this tour!!
