First of all, the meeting place is easy to find. It is right near the Shinkansen entrance of Nagoya Station. At 7 o'clock in the morning, I saw the tour guide holding a flag, which was very reassuring! The journey takes four hours. After about two hours, you will stop for a 15-minute rest at a rest stop. When you arrive at the destination, the tour guide will explain the map route in detail and lead everyone along. After walking to Nachi Falls, you can see the car and the tour guide. It is a perfect trip!

meetup place is very clear on Klook booking. No guide, only the driver who is able to speak Japanese, Chinese and English. 🤓 he clearly gives instructions and the whole trip is worth to go…..

We have plenty of time to climb the mountain, and we also have time to eat, but I think we can insert a small scenic spot (special rest stop, etc.). The leader has followed us to climb the mountain, so we are not afraid of going the wrong way👍👍👍

It was a great day. Transfer was seamless and English of the guides were excellent. Food and toilet stops were also accounted for and a extra stop could always be requested. I enjoyed my three hours exploring the Kumanokodo walking trail.

Three hours is plenty, including time for lunch. There is still an hour to do some activities in the Ghost Town Park. Thank you for your hard work, driver. The journey is really long and the car drove very, very steadily.

It's nearly perfect but heavy rain happened all day long, especially when we're in nachi waterfalls and pagoda. I think we don't really need to walk through the kumano kudo trail since vehicles can go through until the nachi waterfalls parking area. If I know there's another way to reach the waterfall and pagoda, I definitely will not go through the kumano kudo trail since I just want to see the beauty of the pagoda and nachi waterfalls. Overall it's a wonderful experience.
