Shirakawa-go, where snow still remains, had beautiful scenery. The guide was fluent in English and impressive. Since all the restaurants were crowded, I think a meal plan is reassuring. I am very satisfied.雪がまだ残っている白川郷は景色が良かったです ガイドさんが英語ペラペラで凄かったです 飲食店はどこも混雑しているので食事付きのプランは安心だと思います とても満足しています

The tour itself was good, but the tour guide was clearly coughing from a cold on the bus without wearing a mask. A few days later, I developed cold symptoms and couldn't enjoy my trip.ツアー自体は良かったのですが、添乗員がバス内で明らかに風邪で咳き込んでいるのにマスクなしでした。 私は数日後から風邪の症状が現れ楽しい旅行ができませんでした。

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and it was an unforgettable, amazing experience. The plan included a delicious lunch with Hida beef and sweet grilled ayu, as well as ample time for leisurely exploration. Every aspect of the tour experience was wonderful, from the friendly tour guide to the beautiful interpreter who spoke English well.人生初の白川郷でしたが、忘れられない最高の体験でした。 飛騨牛や鮎の甘露煮が美味なランチやじっくりと散策出来る時間を取ったプラン、親切な添乗員さんや美人で英語の上手な通訳さんなどどれをとっても素晴らしいツアー体験でした。

The Hida beef lunch was delicious. I thought the schedule explained on the bus seemed short since we were set to return after 2 PM, but it was actually sufficient. The guide's recommended doburoku soft serve was very tasty, and I also purchased some doburoku. The air was nice, and it was very refreshing. It was disappointing that the bus driver was unfriendly and ignored my greeting when I boarded.飛騨牛のランチ美味しかった。行きのバスで説明された当日の予定について、14時過ぎに帰路に着くので短いように思ったが、十分だった。ガイドさんオススメのどぶろくソフトクリームがとても美味しくてどぶろくも購入した。空気もよく癒された。バスの運転手さんが無愛想で乗り込む時にこちらから挨拶したのに無視されたのは残念だった。

I have always wanted to visit Shirakawa-go while living in Kanagawa Prefecture. By chance, I had the opportunity to stay in Kanazawa for one night, so I decided to do some sightseeing in Kanazawa on the first day. I learned that there was a day trip tour to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa Station, and I decided to join it on the second day.

I hadn't thought of a round trip from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go, but it was a great decision. 神奈川県在住でいつか白川郷に行ってみたいと思っていました。たまたま金沢に1泊する機会ができたので、１日目は金沢観光し、金沢駅から白川郷日帰りツアーがあると知り、２日にこちらに参加することに決めました。ベテラン添乗員さんの説明や情報のおかげでポイントを押さえてなおかつ自由に過ごせました。ちょうどよい滞在時間でした。 金沢発着で白川郷というのはあまり思いつきませんでしたが大正解でした。

It was a tour from Kanazawa Station to Shirakawa-go, and the tour guide was wonderful! There were more than half foreign visitors, and they guided us in both Japanese and English in a fun way.
The beautiful gassho-zukuri scenery of Shirakawa-go was truly amazing. I want to visit Shirakawa-go in winter as well!金沢駅から白川郷へのツアーでしたが添乗員の方が素晴らしかったです‼️ 外国人の方が半数以上居たのですが日本語英語と楽しくガイドして頂きました。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We appreciate your kind words about our tour guide.
The scenery of Shirakawa-go's gassho-zukuri changes beautifully with each season, but the winter snow-covered landscape is truly exceptional. We hope you will visit again in the winter season.
Thank you for your warm review. We sincerely look forward to your next participation!
