What a great trip. Get on the bus at the bus stop in front of the Hyatt Regency. It really only takes 30 seconds for me to get on the bus from the hotel. There are also explanations of the attractions along the way, in English and Japanese, and the lunch is delicious. You need to go to the viewing platform in Shirakawago and buy pudding. The tour guide will tell you. The day was relaxing and enjoyable.

Hokuriku Arch is still an area that is relatively unexplored by mass tourism. I would recommend it to those who prefer a quieter and a more scenic part of Japan!

it was a pleasant experience. Kuroda san is a very knowledgeable tour guide and is fluent in English. The time alloted for the 2 places is enough. it did not feel rushed.

Ok this was a really fun trip with a guide that knew english and japanese. We went early so there wasnt a lot of people yet in shirakawa-go and the guide gave some fun tips to explore the town. The lunch that was included was decent and gave a chance to talk with the other passengers of the bus. When visiting takayama, i wish we had a bit more time. Because there was so much to see, showa period museum and a shrine in the park on the mountain. We only had time for the main area and we tasted some sake, had some pudding and cookies.
