I can finally see the snow that I haven’t seen in Shirakawa-go for a long time! The tour guide also enthusiastically introduced the itinerary and food at nearby attractions. It is a trip worth taking again.

Very nice place to go to. It’s refreshing to see, once again, dolphines and whale sharks. Highly recommended.

Leonardo was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative, friendly, respectful, and sensitive to our needs. I would highly recommend this particular day tour and of course, Leonardo as the tour guide.

I really like this little trip. Because it is not convenient to go to the suburbs, I found this itinerary online. It is really great. There is a dedicated guide and you don’t have to worry about traffic problems. The female tour guide is great. It’s a little pity. , due to traffic jam, the time to get off the car and play was shortened😭

There are many large glass fish tanks, which are very shocking, and the newly born dolphin babies are very cute. It is the first time for me to see 4 killer whales in the same aquarium. I will definitely come again next time.

The room size is larger than expected and quite comfortable. There is also a light breakfast available for you in the morning. However, we happened to live in a room with a flooded bathroom. We went to the front desk in the middle of the night and they immediately and efficiently helped us change rooms. There was no flooding problem in the new room~

After purchasing your tickets online, go to Chubu Centrair Airport or Nagoya Meitetsu Station and just scan the QR CODE to enter the station, saving you time in queuing to buy tickets (especially when there are many people)
