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.

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.

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.

Our tour guide, Liu, proactively added us to the group chat the day before the trip to remind us of important travel tips, which was very thoughtful. The 8:20 AM meeting point was perfect; we were comfortable sleeping and eating on the bus throughout the journey. Before arriving at each attraction, the guide gently woke us up and provided a bilingual (Chinese/Japanese) introduction to the key points of the visit, making it a hassle-free tour. I was delighted to experience my first and second snowfalls with my child in the Takayama and Gassho-zukuri villages, but unfortunately, the rain and snow made it incredibly cold, limiting the number of beautiful photos we could take.

there were only less than 15 of us so we used mini bus which was a bit tight for someone who is 175cm or higher. tour guide was funny and always available to assist. departed right on time, no stress to find the meeting point. wish we were given a little more time in takeyama as the surroundings were extremely beautiful. very good price for what we got. and of course the star of the show was shirakawago which was mind blowing. highly recommended especially if you are visiting in winter

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!!
