Excellent day tour! It’s a long day covering lots of miles, 1.5hr to the first stop, 1hr here to head straight to the castle Quick Look and back! This one is tight but we have other places to get too! 1.5hr to Takayama, 2hrs here to wander the old town streets and taste Hida Beef and Sake, or find a restaurant and have a lunch. 1hr to the final start destination Shirakawa-go. 1.5hrs here to take lots of photos, go into one of the houses for $400yen pp well worth it! This place is stunning everything I wanted to see. Then 2.5hr bus back! Fabulous day!

Very happy to have joined this group! The trip is tight and the tour guide is very attentive and speaks Chinese, English and Japanese! Explained in detail, will take the initiative to help take pictures 🥹 can visit all the county in Hachiman, Takayama and Shirakawa-go in one day! Although the stay in each place is not long but it is enough! The meeting location is clear and easy to find. Don't worry at all!

Highly recommended, picturesque views in Gujo, Takayama and especially in Shirikawago. Our tour guide was very thoughtful and would always check on us if we enjoyed the tour. The meeting place is easy to find (just outside Nagoya station) and the trip was comfortable and smooth.
