This tour allowed us to explore the less accessible Ainokura village in Gokayama which is less touristy than the popular Shirakawa-go area. The duration allocated for both villages are appropriate. We are also very lucky to get a guide who is well versed in English.

The tour is appropriately paced and the guide we got was well versed in English and knowledgeable. Worth considering if you intend to explore Ainokura village too

It's very good value for money. There are two Chinese and English tour guides on the car who will introduce how to visit the scenic spots and which famous restaurants to eat in a timely manner. They are kind and careful and let us have a lot of fun. The driver is very stable in driving and does not feel any bumps or bumps at all. If you get motion sickness, I recommend adding Hida beef for lunch, it’s super delicious! The only pity is that I have to go back to Nagoya at 6 o'clock and I am in a hurry to go shopping. You must be quick and precise about what you want to eat and buy without hesitation, otherwise you will definitely regret leaving!

The tour guide was very good, but the whole trip was like catching a train, always rushing, and each attraction was a quick visit, and there was no way to experience it properly. We are used to free travel and are extremely unaccustomed to this mode of travel. For the first time, time is limited and there is no time to check in carefully, and we don’t want to worry about taking the car. This is indeed a good choice. Gujo Hachiman and Shirakawa-go are both beautiful, and the alpine beef is delicious. In summary: a hurried journey of delicious food and beautiful scenery 😂

dedicated local guide who speaks both Chinese and English with clear instructions on do & don’ts , meetup point & time and going extra mile to help upon adhoc requests .. was provided maps on interest points to both Shirakawa and Takayama.

The first visit was generally not bad, and Daye cooperated on time, although it was raining heavily today. There was no traffic jam on the way back and forth, which was really good luck.

It was my first time to participate in a one-day tour provided by Klook, and the overall process was smooth! Although the drive is a bit long, there will be rest stops in the middle! The tour guide sister Tani I met on the day was very kind. When arriving at the scenic spot and eating, she would ask if she wanted to help take photos. She also provided a lot of useful travel information (where to find delicious food and recommended local souvenirs). The Hida beef for lunch was very good. It’s delicious, and you can also buy some small souvenirs😋If we are only traveling to Nagoya for a short time, it is highly recommended to add a day to join this trip♥️
