Reviews: Nagoya, Japan: Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go Day Tour | 9-person Small Group Optional

The guide spoke both Chinese and Korean! I think he spoke Chinese better. I went with a mix of Chinese and Korean friends and had a great time.★

Reviews: Departing from Nagoya: Day Tour to Explore Takayama & Shirakawa-go's Gassho-zukuri Villages World Heritage
Guest User2026-02-14
Originally, we were supposed to join a small group tour, but it was changed to a large tour bus tour because the group didn't make it. Our tour guide, Ms. Liu, was very considerate. From before departure to the return trip, she explained a lot of information to us. She was dedicated and responsible, which deserves praise. Because some members of the group were late, even though the tour guide had explained in advance that the tour bus would only wait for an extra 5 minutes, she still waited for the late members. She was very responsible. Of course, she was at ease with the members who were not on time, but she didn't understand why the whole bus was waiting for the latecomers. That's why we never like to join large group tours.★

Reviews: Japanese Ancient Town Tour (One Day) | Hida Highlands + Gunjo Hachiman + Shirakawa-go [English & Chinese Guided Tour]
Guest User2026-01-03
All the places are great to explore and really nice. Just my opinion, the tour guide should wait for all of us to get down from the bus first then he can started to explain about the place not when we reach down to him, he is done. And we arrived shirakawago around 3:15pm and the last shuttle bus around 3:40pm to observatory. So it is not enough time as we need to walk a bit to a pickup point for shuttle bus. All the three places are so crowded but still nice to explore★

Reviews: Nagoya to Shirakawa-go & Hida Takayama: UNESCO Heritage 1-Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-05
The overall itinerary was somewhat rushed due to Japanese driver service time regulations. The Takayama leg of the trip was particularly tight, mainly because completing a meal and a full visit to the Takayama Jinya (traditional Japanese houses) within two hours was quite strenuous. Two hours was more than enough for the Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri village. The tour guide was very professional and nice, and his explanations were quite interesting. The group members came from all over the world, with mainland Chinese tourists making up about 10%, making it a very international team.★

Guest User2026-02-16
"Taking a day tour to Shirakawa-go was easily the highlight of our trip. We went in February, and the village looked like a literal snow globe. The gassho-zukuri farmhouses are even more impressive in person. Our tour guide is very kind and approachable and also shared stories. Pro tip: Don’t skip the view from the top is the 'postcard' shot everyone wants.💕
