Nagoya Castle is very beautiful. Although the Tenshu Gate is temporarily closed, the exhibitions elsewhere are already worth the price of admission. The QR code of the certificate is also very convenient to use.

If you buy this plan, you can only take ordinary buses. After redeeming, you can swipe the QR CODE to enter the station. If you bring a lot of luggage, it is recommended to go to the counter and spend money to buy a reserved seat, which is less tiring.

It's a pretty good itinerary. Although it's a quick trip, the experience is still very good. I have to do some homework, including which attractions to visit or what souvenirs and snacks to buy. I missed the time of a large number of other tour groups at the right time, so the experience is good. It’s not bad, you have to queue up if you should queue up, but it doesn’t take too long to complete.

The Takayama & Shirakawa-go Day Tour with Beef Lunch was an unforgettable experience! The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to explore the stunning scenery of Shirakawa-go and the charming streets of Takayama without feeling rushed. The highlight was definitely the beef lunch – tender, flavorful, and truly a taste of local cuisine. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip even more enjoyable with their insights. Everything was organized perfectly, from transportation to the overall flow of the tour. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to explore these beautiful areas stress-free!
