Hida Folk Village tours

Short but great tour of a sake brewery. Our super friendly guide has explained everything about sake and the reference of Takayama to it great and understandable.

Our guide was Mandarin speaking and he should have covered some housekeeping rules on the bus eg clear your trash, keep your volumes low if you need to chat so as not to disturb the rest. This was not covered and we had many passengers who spoke loudly throughout the whole day - very distracting and inconsiderate. Driver did not provide plastic bags for us to dispose of our trash and bus smelt of cigarette smoke. Small improvements to above could help to enhance a good passenger experience. Overall experience at Shirakawa-go Gassho Village is great and worth to visit .

Great way to see the old town of Takayama. guide was great and full of information and made the walk very enjoyable. the treats and Sake tasting were great. baking the rice cakes is definitely a must do so much fun. highly recommend.

Thank you to the two tour leaders for their careful care and explanation 👍🏻👍🏻. The whole trip was very relaxed and comfortable. They would arrange a beautiful location for us to enjoy and take photos when riding the car. 🥰 The whole process was not boring, and we had fun chatting about different cultures 👍🏻👍 🏻

Nice little tour, guide had fantastic knowledge of Sake brewing and Takayama in general being a local. We had some great samples and information on the specific Sake’s. nice short tour, so easy to fit into any itinerary.

There is plenty of time for free activities, and the tour guide’s explanations in the car are also very detailed. This itinerary is a good choice for tourists who do not have a driver’s license and cannot drive by themselves.

The itinerary led by tour guide Hemi is rich in information. Starting from the mountains allows more time to explore these two attractions. It is highly recommended for travelers who like beautiful natural scenery to choose this itinerary.

The guide was super nice and explained to us in a brewery how sake is made. We were able to try 7 different sakes.
