Gifu Prefecture 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

the most beautiful place I have been to in Japan. the beginner/first time visitor trek allotted 1.5hrs is more than enough time to take photos/videos along the ways and reach the Bridge where restaurants are. you can have lunch here. try the apple pie and apple ice cream.

Cici bola skvelá sprievodkyňa, plynule hovorila 3 jazykmi, dala nám slobodu nasledovať ju alebo objavovať sami. V Gujo Hachiman sme sa cítili trochu uponáhľane, ale zvyšok výletu sme mali dostatok času na objavovanie. Ísť na takúto prehliadku je oveľa lacnejšie ako ísť sám.
