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: Nagoya, Japan: Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go Day Tour | 9-person Small Group Optional
Guest User2026-02-21
I made a reservation around 8 PM the night before departure, and it was confirmed quickly. Our guide, Lin Ho, provided thorough and detailed explanations (consecutive explanations in four languages: Japanese, Korean, English, and Chinese, and the Korean explanations were particularly fluent and thorough). We left at 9 AM, and due to road conditions, we went to Shirakawa-go first before heading to Takayama. We stayed in Shirakawa-go for about an hour and a half (please note that this tour does not include the observatory; a 30-minute round trip walk from Shirakawa-go is sufficient). We stayed in Takayama for about two hours, and arrived at Nagoya Station around 7:10 PM. I didn't have high expectations, but it was a great way to experience the atmosphere of a mountain village and a small inland town. Although I made the reservation on short notice, I think it was a satisfying and fulfilling trip.

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: Shirakawa-go Thatched Village & Hida Takayama Tour from Nagoya
Guest User2026-02-25
The guide, who spoke Korean, Japanese, and Chinese very well and had such clear diction that I thought she was a former flight attendant, even gave me her phone number, which made me feel at ease during the tour. She recommended good restaurants and gave me sufficient explanations so I didn't have to ask any questions. During lunch time, I left my wallet on the bus and the driver had to go eat, so I was very grateful that the guide tried his best to resolve the difficult situation. Fortunately, it was resolved, but I was sorry for bothering you during the meal. Thank you for telling me it was okay. She is beautiful not only in appearance but also in heart. I want to recommend this tour to people around me because it was so great!!

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.

Reviews: [Limited Time Offer] Day Tour from Nagoya | Hida Takayama & Shirakawa-go Gassho Village World Heritage Site
Guest User2026-01-20
A very enjoyable trip. I was initially reluctant to join a large group tour, but after checking the transportation options and finding them inconvenient and expensive to hire a car, I opted for a group tour. The result was surprisingly smooth and comfortable. Our tour guide, Xiao Liu, was very patient and responsible. We were free to explore after disembarking, but she diligently explained the sights and routes on the bus in both Chinese and English. The bus was very punctual and didn't wait for anyone. There were no shops along the way; everything was voluntary. The people on the bus came from various countries, and everyone was very disciplined. Suitable for: People with high energy levels who want a quick tour and don't need to plan too much, and for those who prioritize safety. For those with lower energy levels, a nice coffee shop with a good view to experience the local culture is also a good option. Not suitable for: People who want to take great photos, those who want to stay in one place for too long, or those who can't tolerate long bus rides. The bus ride was very smooth, and motion sickness was rare. You can wear an eye mask to rest on the bus; the tour guide will only remind you of precautions when you're almost at your destination. Takayama City: If you walk quickly, besides the morning market, you can also visit Hie Shrine, where you can draw fortune slips; the scenery is also quite beautiful. (You must be very fit and have a strong sense of time.) Shirakawa-go: The scenery is beautiful; I was lucky enough to see a rainbow. If you walk fast, you can go to the observation deck, queue to buy pudding, and quickly tour the wooden houses. One last small suggestion: I hope the tour guide can start timing from when you get off the bus, or set the time a few minutes later on the bus. If getting off the bus takes a few minutes, returning early will also take a few minutes, resulting in less time for sightseeing. So, unless there are unexpected circumstances, I hope the timing can be set a little later for a more comfortable experience. That's all.
