All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

First of all, I was surprised by the number of inbound tourists. 😳 Also, there were quite a few customers coughing, which was a bit concerning. Other than that, they recommended great places to visit, and the free time provided was ample, allowing me to fully enjoy my experience. Shirakawa-go was also covered in snow... the snowy scenery was amazing. I was able to visit the pilgrimage sites of my favorite anime, and it was a lot of fun.

まず、インバウンドの多さにビックリ😳
また、咳をしてるお客様が多く、少し気になりました。
それ以外は、オススメの場所を教えてくれたり、設けられた自由時間も十分で満喫できました。
白川郷も雪が積もっていて・・雪景色最高でした。アニメの聖地巡礼もでき、とても楽しかったです。

I came from Okinawa.
I was overwhelmed by my first snow scenery in life.
It was great to be able to see and experience things that I can't in Okinawa.

沖縄から来ました。
人生初の雪景色に圧倒されました。
沖縄では見ること、体験できないことができたのでとても良かったです。

As described in my previous experiences, it felt like an overseas tour with only two groups of Japanese people. We departed as scheduled despite the heavy snow warning around Shirakawa-go. The tour guide's explanations were given in Chinese, English, Korean, and finally Japanese, but compared to the lengthy explanations in Chinese, the time allocated for Japanese was quite short. Initially, we were supposed to start with sightseeing in Takayama, but due to the heavy snow, we changed our plans to start from Shirakawa-go. As we traveled on the highway, the snowfall increased, and the bus continued through the heavy snow as warned. However, after exiting at Shirakawa-go IC, we encountered traffic jams, and the bus struggled to move forward. Ultimately, we had to get off before reaching the parking lot and walked to Shirakawa-go. The gassho-zukuri roofs that came into view amidst the falling snow clearly demonstrated the measures taken against heavy snowfall. We couldn't reach the observation deck due to the snow, but we were able to circle around Shirakawa-go and feel its history. The bus headed towards Takayama, but again, we were stuck in traffic and made little progress. We arrived in Takayama just before 4 PM, but places like Takayama Jinya were already closed, so we could only view the townscape. The bus then headed to Nagoya, arriving at 7:30 PM. Although there was traffic, we didn't experience significant delays. According to the tour guide, other companies' tours were unable to leave Shirakawa-go, so we were all quite lucky. Despite the traffic, the heavy snow in Shirakawa-go was definitely worth seeing.

これまでの体験談のとおり、日本人が２組だけのまるで海外ツアーのような状況でした。白川郷周辺は大雪警報の中予定通り出発しました。車内での添乗員さんの説明は、中国語、英語、韓国語、最後に日本語の順でしたが、中国語の説明時間の長さと比較すると、日本語での説明の時間はかなり短いものでした。予定では高山観光からでしたが、大雪の影響で白川郷からに変更になり、高速道路を走行しているうちに積雪量が多くなり、警報通りの大雪の中バスは進んでいきましたが、白川郷ICを降りてから渋滞で、ばすはなかなか前に進みません。結局駐車場の手前で降車して歩いて白川郷へ。雪が降りしきる中で見えてきた合掌作りの屋根は、大雪対策のためあることがよくわかる光景でした。大雪のため展望台までは行きませんでしたが、白川郷を１周して歴史を感じることができました。バスは高山へと向かいますが、またもや渋滞で進みません。高山に着いたのは16時前で、高山陣屋敷などは閉館で街並みを見るにとどまりました。バスは名古屋に向かい、19時30分に到着しました。渋滞がありましたが、それほど遅れることなく、添乗員さんの話では、他の会社のツアーでは、白川郷から出られていないところもあり、みなさんラッキーでしたということでした。渋滞はありましたが、大雪の白川郷は、見る価値がありました。

I was really looking forward to my first visit to Shirakawa-go!

Due to the heavy snowfall leading up to the end of the year, our tour guide and driver suggested that we visit other attractions before heading to Shirakawa-go to avoid the expected crowds.

There were many tourists, and by the time we left Shirakawa-go, the road on the opposite side was heavily congested. Thanks to the quick thinking of both of them, we were able to enjoy our time in Shirakawa-go to the fullest. Thank you very much!

The snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go was absolutely beautiful, so next time, I would love to see the different landscapes of Shirakawa-go in spring or summer and autumn!

In Hida Takayama, I was able to enjoy delicious food and leave feeling both my heart and stomach were satisfied.

Since it was the end of the year, there were some traffic jams, but overall, we had a smooth and enjoyable experience! Thank you for the wonderful tour.

初めての白川郷ということで、とても楽しみにしていました！！

年末&前日までの大雪の影響で大混雑を見込んだ添乗員さんと運転手さんの提案で、白川郷から先に観光することになりました。

たくさんの観光客の方もおり、白川郷から出る頃には反対側の道は大渋滞でした。お二人の機転のきいた対応で、時間いっぱい白川郷観光を楽しめました(^^)ありがとうございました。

雪景色の白川郷がすごく素敵だったので、次は、春や夏秋、違った白川郷の景色がみてみたいです！

飛騨高山では、美味しいご飯を食べ歩き、心もお腹も満たされて帰ることができました。

年末ということで、渋滞などもありましたが、スムーズに楽しく過ごすことができました‼︎楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

We gathered at Nagoya Station in the morning, took attendance, and boarded the bus. Since there were mostly foreign tourists, the guide spoke multiple languages. There were many participants from Southeast Asia, but there were also explanations in Japanese, so there were no particular issues. Given the diverse nationalities, the explanations were provided in each language in turn. The guide handed out maps of Shirakawa-go and Takayama and went around explaining at each seat, which I felt was a thoughtful approach. Once we arrived at the destination, a meeting place and time were set, so we did not have to act as a group and could explore freely. There were quite a few participants in the tour.

朝に名古屋駅へ集合し、出欠を取り、バス乗車。基本的に外国人観光客が多かったので、ガイドさんは何ヶ国語も話す方だった。東南アジア？の方からの参加が多かったが日本語での説明もあったので特に問題はなかった。多様な国籍の方がいるので説明は、それぞれの言語で順番に行われた。白川郷や高山の地図を渡して下さり、各座席ごとに説明して回られていて、丁寧な対応だと感じた。現地に着いたら、集合場所と集合時間を決められたので、団体で行動することはなく全部自由行動となった。かなりツアー参加者も多かった。

There were moments when the tour was delayed due to weather, but I was very impressed that the schedule was adjusted and we arrived as planned.

This was my first trip to Gifu Prefecture, and there was a lot I didn't know. I appreciated how the bus tour staff provided advice to each person at various locations. What stood out particularly was how the tour guide shared insights while speaking with us. Even with free time, it was very reassuring to have guidance for our explorations.

Lastly, it was amazing that the tour guide could speak Chinese, English, and Japanese.

一部ツアーで遅れる場面(天候上)もあったが、スケジュールを調整されていて、予定通り着いた点は非常に感動した。

岐阜県については初めて旅行する場所であり、知らないことも多かった。その中でバスツアーさんが一人一人に各場所のアドバイス等をしていた点が良かった。特に良かったのが、ツアーガイドさんの知見も交えながら、お話してくださった点である。自由時間があっても、各人で目星をつけて散策するため、大変心強かった。

最後に中国語、英語、日本語を話せているのは凄かった。(今回のツアーガイドさんがかもしれないが)

The snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go was amazing. Takayama also had a lot of delicious food, which was fun.
The Chinese guide was very kind and provided a lot of detailed explanations, so I was glad to participate in this tour happily. Thank you very much!

予約番号：8008092
白川郷の雪景色が見れて最高でした。高山も美味しいものがたくさんあって楽しかったです。
中国人のガイドさんがとても親切で、詳しい説明もたくさん頂いたので、楽しく今回のツアーに参加できて良かったです。ありがとうございました！

The view of Shirakawa-go in this season, with its stunning snow scenery, was absolutely breathtaking! I also enjoyed walking around and trying the food in Takayama! I want to go again!

この季節にいく白川郷は雪景色が見事でとても絶景でした！飛騨高山の食べ歩きも楽しかったです！また行きたいです！

The attention to detail from the tour guide was wonderful. Even during traffic jams, they provided updates, allowing us to participate without stress. The way they avoided traffic on the highway on the way back, along with the driver, truly showcased their professionalism!

Before participating, I was a bit anxious since it was my first time with this tour company and everything was completed online. However, thanks to the tour guide, it turned into a fun trip. I would love to join again.

添乗員さんの気遣いが素晴らしかったです。
渋滞時にも都度細かく教えて下さり、ストレスなく参加出来ました。
帰りの高速での渋滞回避等も、ドライバーさん共々　流石プロ‼︎っという感じでした。

参加前は初見のツアー会社で、全てがネット上で完結した為、少々不安でしたが
添乗員さんのお陰で楽しい旅となりました。
また参加したいです。

I was worried about whether the tour could proceed due to the heavy snowfall, but I was able to participate safely and I am very satisfied. There were many international visitors, but the tour guide provided direct and thorough explanations, which made me feel at ease during the visit. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーの日は大雪の中で､ツアーができるのか不安でしたが､無事に見学でき､とても満足しています。海外の見学者も多い中ですが､添乗員さんが､直接丁寧に説明してくださり安心して見学できました。ありがとうございます。

- It was my first time in Takayama and Shirakawa-go, and I thoroughly enjoyed not only the scenery but also food tasting, sightseeing, and souvenir hunting.
- Although there was snow in Shirakawa-go, it wasn't falling, so I was able to walk with regular shoes.
- The guide, who spoke three languages, was from China and provided a very detailed tour, which gave me a great sense of reassurance.
- As others have mentioned, about 90% of the participants were from overseas. Although we started a bit late, everyone was punctual and we disbanded as scheduled.

My first visit to Shirakawa-go was wrapped in a snowy blanket, and it was incredibly beautiful. The gassho-zukuri houses were mysterious homes filled with the wisdom and culture of those who lived there long ago. The tour guide provided a thorough and reassuring explanation in Japanese, allowing us to explore with confidence. The sights I experienced on this tour have become a lifelong treasure. Thank you! 😊

初めての白川郷は雪化粧に包まれ
とても美しく、合掌造りの家は
昔生きた人達の知恵と文化が詰まった
神秘的な家でした。
ツアーガイドさんも、日本語で丁寧に
案内してくれた安心して回れました。
このツアーを通して目にした光景が一生の宝物となりました。ありがとうございました(^^)

It was a relaxing and enjoyable tour, even though I was alone and with an Aussie next to me, but the long travel time was a bit tough. How about narrowing it down to two locations?

1人でも、横にご一緒されたオージーの方と和み楽しいツアーでしたが、移動時間が長いのが少々辛かったです、場所を２つに絞ってみたらどうですか？

I made a reservation because I wanted to see Shirakawa-go covered in snow. This year, it had been warm for a while, so I was worried about whether there would be snow, but my worries were unfounded. When I arrived, it was snowing so heavily that I could barely see in front of me. Snow boots are a must during snowy weather. The bridge leading to Shirakawa-go from the parking lot was frozen. When the sun peeked out, it was as beautiful as I had imagined, so I definitely think everyone should see the snowy scenery and Shirakawa-go at least once! In Takayama, I had enough time to see the morning market, eat Hida beef, and do some shopping. If you want to explore more thoroughly, I think you would need a bit more time.

雪の降り積もった白川郷を観たくて予約しました
今年は暖かい日が続いていたので、雪が積もっているのか不安でしたが、杞憂でした
到着時、前が見えないほど吹雪いていました
雪の時は、スノーブーツは必須です
駐車場から白川郷に行くための橋が凍ってました
晴れ間が除く時は、想像通り綺麗だったので、是非一度は雪景色と白川郷を観ると良いと思います！
高山は、朝市みて、飛騨牛食べて、買い物する程度の時間はありました
じっくり観光しようと思うともう少し時間がいると思います

The service and guidance were polite, and the round-trip bus journey was smooth with no issues at all. However, the lunch in a completely atmosphere-less venue, the crowded shrine visit, and the streets reminiscent of Takeshita Street could have benefited from prior advice regarding the level of congestion or tips for those who wish to spend time quietly, even before the event.

丁寧な接客と誘導、往復のバス旅としてはスムースで全く問題ありませんでしたが、
まったく雰囲気のない会場でのランチや混雑した参拝、及び竹下通りを彷彿とさせる街並みに関しては、実施前でも構わないので事前に込み具合であるとか、静かに過ごしたい人へのアドバイスなどがあると良かったと思います。

I decided to go to Nagoya with my mother, and since it was a special occasion, I wanted to create memories by visiting places I had never been before, so I signed up for a tour.

At first, I felt anxious because most of the other passengers and the guide were foreigners (we might have been the only Japanese). However, the guide from China was very friendly and explained everything in Japanese, which eased my worries. It was also reassuring that the bus driver was Japanese!

On the bus, we stopped at the destination and had about two hours of free time. In Hida Takayama, we were able to visit the morning market, and I was very satisfied to buy some delicious miso. The meat sushi was also tasty, and there was a Snoopy store. Since both my mother and I love Snoopy, I was happy to buy matching Snoopy sarubobo dolls with her.

In Shirakawa-go, although there wasn't much snow, I was glad to see the snowy scenery. We entered Nagase-ya and Wada-ya, and the interiors were filled with historical artifacts, allowing us to feel the past. It was fascinating to think that there are still people living in this village today.

The tour took us to two sightseeing spots at once, so we were able to spend a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

母と一緒に名古屋に行くことが決まり、せっかくなので行ったことがない場所へ行き思い出を作りたいと、ツアーを申し込みさせて頂きました。

最初は案内の方も、他の乗客の方もほとんどが外国の方(日本人は私達だけだったかもしれません)だったので不安になりましたが、案内の中国の方が一生懸命愛想よく日本語で説明してくれたので、不安は拭えました。またバスの運転手の方が日本人だったので心強かったです！

バスでは現地に寄り、それぞれ約2時間ほど自由時間がありました。
飛騨高山では朝市にも行くことができ、美味しいお味噌を買えたのが大変満足でした。肉寿司も美味しく、またスヌーピーのお店があり2人ともスヌーピーが好きなので、母とお揃いでスヌーピーのさるぼぼを買えたのが嬉しかったです。
白川郷は、少なかったですが雪が積もっていたので雪景色が見れて嬉しかったです。
長瀬屋と和田屋の中に入りましたが、お家の中は歴史を感じるものばかりで当時を感じながら見ることができました。今もこの集落で普通に生活をしている方達がいるのが不思議になりました。

2つの観光名所に1度に連れて行ってくれるので、とても有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

There were many foreign visitors, but the guide was fluent in Japanese and kindly taught us various things, which made it very enjoyable! I want to go again!

海外の人が多かったですがガイドさんは、日本語が堪能で、親切に色々教えてくださり、とても楽しめました！また行きたいです！

I felt a bit out of place as a Japanese person among a tour of Chinese tourists. The tour guide spoke at great length in Chinese, and while I couldn't understand it and felt a bit lonely, they also provided highlights and recommendations in Japanese, which made the experience very comfortable. I was able to exchange snacks in English with the Chinese guests next to me, and it was great to participate without any troubles and have fun.

中国人ツアーに紛れ込んだ日本人。というくらい、日本人には肩身の狭い日本国内観光でした。ツアコンの方が中国語で凄く長いお話をされており、拍手があがり・・・理解できず寂しい部分はありましたが、日本語でもきちんと見どころ、おすすめ行動をしてくれたのでとても快適でした。隣の中国人客の方と英語でお菓子の取り替えができたり、トラブルもなく楽しく参加できて良かったです。

The meeting point for VIP LINER is located at 〒453-0015 Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City, Nakamura Ward, Tsubaki-cho 20, next to the Orix Parking Tower, with Lawson convenience store across the street. Make sure you don’t get lost!

Our tour guide is Alberto, who is a very nice and warm person. He provided a briefing before we arrived and gave us a map marking the meeting points. He also left his contact information in case you really get lost in these beautiful places. The beef lunch at Koshiyama (a restaurant near Shirakawago) is delicious. What made us a bit sad is that we only had 1.5 to 2 hours in Takayama and Shirakawago; we don’t think that’s enough time to enjoy these lovely places. However, we still had a good day and would love to visit again.

VIP LINER　集合場所は〒453-0015 愛知県名古屋市中村区椿町２０、オリックス駐車タワーの隣に、向こうはローソンです。間違いなくて行ってね。
The address of meeting point is in front of the convenient store Lawson, next to the parking building. don't get lost! :)
Our tour guide is Alberto, who is very nice and warm person. He gave a brief before arriving and a map marking meeting points.

What made us a bit sad is we only got 1.5 or 2 hours in Takayama and Shirakawago, don't think it enough to stay in these lovely places. Though we still had a good day, and would like to visit again.

To conclude, I’m really glad I participated!
As a trip, every location had many highlights. When I participated, the rough time allocations were about 1 hour in Gujo Hachiman, 2 hours in Takayama, and 2 hours in Shirakawa-go, so you need to move efficiently and quickly, or you won't have enough time. I think it's better to research the places you want to visit in advance.
Since I went to Shirakawa-go on a weekday between 3 PM and 5 PM, many shops that usually stay open until 5 PM closed by 4 PM, so it’s better to check out cafes and the gassho-zukuri buildings first. On the flip side, from around 4 PM, the number of tourists decreases, making it easier to take photos of the scenery.
Regarding the other tourists on the same tour, when I participated, I was the only Japanese person. (laughs) There were many tourists from China, and since I had seen reviews of this tour, to be honest, I was quite anxious until we reached the first sightseeing spot. However, everyone was very well-mannered, quiet on the bus, and adhered to the meeting times, returning to Nagoya as scheduled. This was another reason I felt glad to join this tour. My impression really changed.
As for the guide, I can’t emphasize enough how positive my impression was; it’s not an exaggeration to say that thanks to this person, we had a safe tour.
On the bus, they provided highlights of the places we visited and safety reminders (like restroom breaks and seatbelt alerts) in Chinese, English, and Japanese, allowing for a safe and comfortable sightseeing experience. They were probably from China but spoke Japanese well, and whenever they spotted me, the only Japanese person, they spoke to me in Japanese. When we finally arrived in Nagoya, after everyone got off, they checked the seats to ensure no one left anything behind, showing great consideration until the very end. It was truly a wonderful tour.
Thank you very much.

結論から言いますが、参加してほんと良かったです！
旅行としてはどの箇所も見所多く私が参加した時は、大まかですが郡上八幡が1時間、飛騨高山2時間、白川郷2時間の滞在時間なので、ある程度効率よく早足で回らないと時間が足りなくなります。寄りたい場所をある程度調べて訪れた方が良いと思います。
白川郷は平日の15〜17時の時間帯に行ったので、本来なら17時までやってる店なども16時に閉まる店が多く、先にカフェや合掌造りの建物を見学した方が良いです。逆に言えば16時くらいから観光客が減るので景色を撮りやすい時間でした。
同じツアー観光客についてですが、私が参加した時は日本人は私1人でした。笑
中国からの観光客が多くみられ、このツアーの口コミも観てたので本音言うと最初の観光地に着くまですごく不安でした。しかし、皆さんすごくマナー良くバス内では静かで、集合時間も守り、名古屋には予定通りに戻ってきました。この点もこのツアーに参加して良かったと思った点です。ほんとに印象が変わりました。
ガイドさんについてですが、この方のおかげで安全なツアーが出来たと言っても過言では無いほど好印象な方でした。
バス内では中国語、英語、日本語で訪問箇所の見どころや移動中の注意点(トイレ休憩あるかやシートベルトの注意喚起)をしてくださり、安全で快適な観光ができました。多分中国出身の方でしたが、日本語も上手で、唯一日本人の私を見かけたら日本語で話してくれました。最後名古屋に着くと、全員降りた後に忘れ物がないか座席を確認してる姿も最後まで配慮が行き届いた方で、ほんとに良いツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

The plan was to go from Takayama to Shirakawa-go, but due to road congestion, it was reversed. It might have been better that way.
The guide was trilingual and spoke Japanese well.
The bus tour had 80% Asian foreigners and 20% Japanese, but everyone was punctual and well-behaved.
Shirakawa-go was snowy, but we were able to visit all the sightseeing points we wanted. I gave up on lunch and ate skewers and menchi katsu on the bus.
It was raining in Takayama. We arrived at 2:30, and since most ramen shops were closed, we found one that was still open and went in. The soup had a rich flavor, but it was delicious.
I was glad we could visit Takayama Jinya and Sakurayama Hachiman Shrine.
Lastly, I appreciate the female driver for her safe driving. 😊

高山から白川郷の予定が、道路の混雑により逆になりました。却って良かったかもしれません。
ガイドさんはトリリンガルで、日本語も上手でした。
アジア系外国人8割･日本人2割のバスツアーでしたが、皆さん時間厳守でお行儀も良かったです。
白川郷は雪でしたが、行きたい観光ポイントは全て行けました。昼食は諦めて、串焼きとメンチカツをバス内で食べました。
高山は雨。2時半に着いたのでラーメン屋さんはほぼ時間外の中、1軒だけ営業中を見つけ入店しました。濃い味のスープでしたが、美味しかったです。
高山陣屋と桜山八幡宮に行けて良かったです。
最後に、安全運転をして下さった女性ドライバーさんに感謝😊

On this day, the forecast predicted a high of 3°C and a low of -1°C in Shirakawa-go. Thanks to that, I was able to visit Shirakawa-go, which I had seen in TV shows and photos, with its beautiful snowy scenery.

With a heat pack on my back, another in my shoes, and rain shoe covers on, I was fully prepared for my stroll. This allowed me to enjoy the stunning winter landscape of Shirakawa-go and indulge in some street food without being deterred by the cold or muddy ground!

The nostalgic old town of Takayama was filled with exciting shops from the moment I stepped in. I enjoyed exploring while savoring gourmet food, chopsticks, bowls, and local sake. I also visited Takayama Jinya and felt like I had traveled back in time!

I wish I had more time, but considering how challenging it is to get there, I thought it was great to experience it on a day trip bus tour from Nagoya!

この日、予報では最高気温は３℃、最低気温は－１℃の白川郷へ。おかげで、テレビや写真で見たことのある、雪景色の白川郷を訪れることができました。
背中にカイロ、靴の中にもカイロ、レインシューズカバーも装着し、完全防備で散策に向かったおかげで、寒さやぬかるむ足元にひるむことなく、白銀の白川郷の風景や食べ歩きを楽しむことができました！
高山のノストラジックな古き良き町並みは、一歩足を踏み入れた瞬間からワクワクするお店が並び、グルメやお箸・お椀、銘酒を堪能しながら散策しました。
高山陣屋もお邪魔して、タイムスリップした気分を味わいました！
もっともっと時間があったら良かったけど、そもそも行くだけでなかなかハードな地域なので、名古屋からの日帰りバスツアーで体験できるのは良いな☆と思いました。

It was my first time visiting Shirakawa-go and Hida Takayama.
There was heavy snowfall, but I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.
There were many travelers from overseas.
It was a good tour without any delays.

初めての白川郷と飛騨高山でした。
大雪でしたがしっかり楽しめました。
海外からの旅行者が多かったです。
時間も遅れることなく良いツアーでした。

I participated in a tour of Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, which are two attractions that are quite difficult to cover in just one day. The majority of the participants were from China, and the large bus was fully booked. The tour guide provided explanations in both Chinese and Japanese.

On the way, it started to snow on the highway, causing traffic congestion, so we changed our plans and headed to Shirakawa-go first. The path to the observation deck was not in great condition due to rain and snow, but I wanted to see the view from the deck, so I walked there. Once I reached the top, I was able to overlook the beautiful snowy houses of Shirakawa-go, which was truly moving. The visit to the Nagase family house afterward was also nice, as I could take my time exploring the interior. I was worried that the two-hour stay might be a bit short, but I think I managed to see the main parts of the village.

Since we arrived in Hida Takayama in the afternoon, we couldn't visit the morning market, but we did explore Takayama Jinya and stroll through the old streets. The visit to Takayama Jinya took about 30 minutes, and it was impressive with its spacious grounds. Perhaps due to the time of day, there were few visitors, allowing for a leisurely exploration. I noticed that many shops near the bus parking area ended their lunch service around 3 PM, which is something to keep in mind.

Overall, it was an efficient bus tour that allowed us to visit two locations, and the tour guide's service was pleasant, making for a fulfilling day.

飛騨高山と白川郷のツアー、なかなか1日では回れない2つの観光地に行けるのが魅力的で参加しました。参加者は中国の方が多く大型バスが満席、添乗員さんは中国語と日本語での説明をされていました。
行きの高速道路で雪が降り始め道路が混雑したため、予定変更で先に白川郷へ行くことに。展望台への道も雨と雪で足元が良くない状況でしたが、せっかくなので展望台からの景色が見たくて、徒歩で展望台へ。登ってみたらとても素敵な雪の白川郷の家並みを見渡すことができ、感動的でした。その後に立ち寄った長瀬家もゆっくり内部を見学できて良かったです。2時間の滞在は少し短いかと心配していましたが、一通り集落を回ることができたと思います。
飛騨高山は午後の到着になったため、朝市見学はできませんでしたが、高山陣屋を見学し古い街並みを散策しました。高山陣屋は30分程で見学。広いお屋敷で見応えがありました。時間帯もあってか、見学客が少なく、ゆっくり見学できました。バスの駐車場近辺の商店街は、ランチタイムが15時頃終了してしまう所が多かった点は注意が必要かと思いました。
全体的には効率よく2箇所を巡ることのできるバスツアーで、添乗員さんの対応も気持ち良く、充実した1日でした。

There were many participants from China, so there were announcements in Chinese as well as in Japanese. Shirakawa-go and Takayama felt like a different world, and the bus stopped at tourist spots, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace.

参加者は中国の方が多数居たせいか、中国語の案内と日本語の案内が有りました。
白川郷に飛騨高山は別世界、観光場所にバスを停車してくれるので、ゆっくり観光出来ました。

Most of the passengers were Chinese, but everyone was punctual, boarded quietly, and followed good manners, which made me feel at ease. The driver's skills were excellent, and it was great that the schedule was maintained on time.

乗客が中国人の方がほとんどでしたが、みなさん時間を守り、静かに乗車してて、マナーを守る人達ばかりで安心して乗れました。
運転手さんの運転も上手で時間通りに予定が進んで良かったです。

I participated in a trip with this tour company for the first time. The guide's detailed explanations were easy to understand, and there was plenty of time at each sightseeing location without feeling rushed. I had a fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

こちらのツアー会社の旅行に初めて参加させていただきました。添乗員さんの細かなガイドはわかりやすく、見学場所の時間も慌たゞしさもなく、しっかり時間ありました。一日充実した時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

We are a family of four from Singapore.
On November 30th, we visited Takayama and Shirakawa-go.
Since it was a bit early in the season, we weren't expecting snow, but we were surprised to find sleet mixed with snow.
Both the kids and the parents were excited. It was amazing! Next time, we hope to visit a little later and see the snowy landscapes like in the pictures.

シンガポールから来た家族４人組です。
１１月３０日高山白川郷へ行ってきました。
時期的に少し早いので、雪は期待してなかったのですが、なんとミゾレ交じりの雪。
子供も親も興奮状態。アメージングです‼。次回はもう少し遅く、写真で見るような雪景色を
期待。

I visited Gujo Hachiman and Shirakawa-go for the first time. It was very nice. The gassho-zukuri with snow was the best; I was lucky. The guide explained in three languages, but I think I was the only Japanese person there. If that's the case, I feel a bit sorry about it. Thank you very much.

郡上八幡も白川郷も初めて訪れました
とても良かったです
雪のある合掌造りは最高でした　ラッキーでした
ガイドさんが3カ国でご説明くださいましたが日本人は私だけだったのではないでしょうか？
そうだとしたら申し訳なかったかなと思います　
本当にありがとうございました

I went to Nagoya for sightseeing, but I didn't do enough research on the places I wanted to visit. When I checked Veltra, I found out there are day tours by sightseeing bus to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in Gifu. Shirakawa-go has been a place I wanted to visit for a long time, but I didn't have a clear image of the specific location or how to get there (I hadn't researched it), so this sightseeing bus tour was very lucky for me. The old streets of Hida Takayama felt fresh to me, and the guide explained everything well, allowing me to have a fulfilling day.
