All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

Unfortunately, the weather was not great, so I focused on the food. The Hida beef, gohei mochi, ramen, doburoku, and firm tofu were all delicious. While dining, I felt like there wasn't enough time in Takayama, so I think 2.5 hours in Takayama and 1.5 hours in Shirakawa-go would be better.

Also, the driver was speeding quite a bit, so it was nice to get back about an hour earlier than planned, but personally, I would prefer safer driving.

あいにくの天気だったので、気持ち的に食事メインにしましたが、
飛騨牛、五平餅、ラーメン、どぶろく、硬い豆腐・・・何を食べてもおいしい旅でした。
食事してたら、高山では時間が足らない感じだったので、
高山2.5時間、白川郷1.5時間でもよいと思いました。

なお、運転手さんが飛ばしまくったので、予定より１時間くらい早く帰れたのはよかったのですが、個人的には安全運転をお願いしたいです。

It feels like you've time-traveled, and you can gaze at it endlessly. You can experience a comforting sense of the extraordinary, and it's something you absolutely must see at least once!

タイムスリップしたかのような雰囲気でずっーと眺めていられる。
ホッとするような非日常が体験でき
絶対に一度は見て欲しい！！

The tour guide provided recommendations and explanations for each person in front of the sightseeing spots, which was very helpful. I had a fulfilling day.

観光地前に添乗員さんからのお勧め場所などの説明が一人一人にあり、とても助かりました。
充実した一日を過ごせました。

The round trip takes about three and a half hours (with a 15-minute break at the parking area), and you can decide whether to get off at Taisho Pond or the Kamikochi Bus Terminal. The stay in Kamikochi is three and a half hours. The restaurants around Kappa Bridge can get crowded, so if you're walking from Taisho Pond, it's better to arrive early to enjoy the area. The wait for places like soft serve ice cream shops was about 20 minutes. The turnover rate at the souvenir shop's register is quick. The accompanying guide was from China but could also communicate in Japanese. Some people were late to the meeting time, but the guide contacted us and was about 10 minutes late as well. The tour schedule was 8:20 AM departure from Nagoya Station, arriving at Kamikochi at 11:45 AM, then departing Kamikochi at 3:25 PM and arriving back at Nagoya Station at 6:50 PM, which I think allows for a good amount of enjoyment within the tour time. Depending on traffic, this was the schedule at the end of August. It was a very cool place with beautiful scenery, and the water was cold and incredibly clear. I had a great time even on a day trip. However, going back and forth to Myojin Pond might be a bit tight.

行き帰り共に道のりは3時間半（パーキングで15分休憩あり）ほどで、大正池か上高地バスターミナルで降りるところを決められます。上高地の滞在時間は3時間半です。河童橋周辺の飲食店は混みますので大正池から歩く場合、早めに到着するようにした方が散策できると思います。ソフトクリーム等の飲食店は20分待ちくらいでした。お土産屋さんのレジの回転率は早いです。付き添いのガイドさんは中国の方でしたが、日本語でも対応可能でした。集合時間に遅れてくる方もいらっしゃいましたが、ガイドさんも連絡して10分ほど遅れましたが、8:20名古屋駅発11:45上高地着、15:25上高地発18:50名古屋駅着でツアーの時間内で楽しめると思います。交通量にもよりますが、8月末でこのスケジュールでした。とても涼しいところで、景色も綺麗です、水も冷たく透明度がすごかったです。日帰りでも充分楽しめました。明神池を往復するのはぎりぎりすぎるかもです。

I was the only non-Chinese person, and the guide was also Chinese, but they explained everything properly in Japanese. It was a kind and very satisfying trip.

自分以外中国人で、ガイドさんも中国人でしたが、ちゃんと日本語でも説明しにきてくれました。親切で大満足な旅になりました。

We were a bit anxious being the only Japanese people, but the bus was quiet, the schedule was kept, and it was comfortable. The guide was also fluent in Japanese, which was great.

日本人は私達だけで不安でしたが、バス内も静かで時間も守られていて快適でした。ガイドさんも日本語ペラペラでとても良かったです。

I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, but access is difficult if you go on your own, so I made a reservation.

Even on a weekday, it was almost full, with only two Japanese participants. It seemed that all the other participants were Chinese. The guide's explanations were mostly in Chinese.

There was no traffic, and I was able to comfortably reach my desired destination, so I was glad I used this service.

白川郷に行ってみたく、自分で行くにはアクセスが悪いため申込。

平日でもほぼ満席で日本人は2人のみ。他の参加者はどうやら全員中国人。ガイドさんの説明は9割中国語でした。
渋滞もなく快適に行きたい場所へ行くことができ利用してよかったです。

The weather was favorable, and I was able to enjoy the most beautiful scenery. There were about equal numbers of foreigners and Japanese people. The tour proceeded on time. I felt that the two hours of free time in Takayama was a bit short. If you try to see all the recommended spots, there isn't enough time to leisurely look at souvenirs. The guide was not Japanese, but was fluent in both Japanese and English, and was kind and pleasant, which I appreciated. It takes about three hours from Nagoya, and I was able to enjoy the trip without worrying about driving fatigue. I felt that around 7,000 yen during the Obon season was a great deal.

天候にも恵まれ、最高に綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。
外国の方と日本人は半々くらい。
時刻通りにツアーが進みました。
高山の自由時間が2時間なのは少し短いと感じました。お勧めされたところを全て見ようとすると、ゆっくりお土産を見たりする時間はありませんでした。
ガイドの方は日本人ではありませんでしたが、日本語も英語も流暢で、優しくて感じが良くて、ありがたかったです。
名古屋から片道3時間くらい、何も気にせず運転疲れもなく楽しめて、お盆の時期に7,000円前後はとてもお得だと感じました。

Overall, it was great. Most of the participants were travelers from abroad, with about 70% coming from China. Everyone was well-mannered, adhered to the meeting times, and maintained a quiet atmosphere on the bus, making it a pleasant experience.

The tour guide spoke Chinese, English, and Japanese while providing explanations. Korean audio guidance was also available. The tour guide was kind and had a good demeanor.

Both the driver and the tour guide were excellent. Shirakawa-go and Takayama were also wonderful.

全体的によかったです。参加者は外国からの旅行者（7割ほどが中国からの旅行者？）がほとんどでした。みなさんマナーもよく、集合時間も厳守で、バス内も静かに過ごされていて、気持ちよく参加できました。
添乗員さんは中国語・英語・日本語をしゃべり説明されていました。韓国語は案内音声を流されていました。優しい対応のよい感じの添乗員さんでした。
運転手さんも添乗員さんもみなさんよかったです。
白川郷も飛騨高山もよかったです。

I visited Gujo, Takayama, and Shirakawa-go. Each location had about 1 to 2 hours for exploration and free time, but I thought it would be good to have a list of points I wanted to visit in advance. The shrines were located away from the exploration area, so I couldn't visit them within the time limit. The natural beauty and the atmosphere of each building and town were truly stunning, and I was very moved. I'm really glad I participated.

郡上、高山、白川郷を回りました。
それぞれ1時間〜2時間の散策と自由時間でしたが事前に行きたいポイントを押さえておくといいなと思いました。
神社は散策エリアから離れるので、時間内での参拝は出来ませんでした。
自然豊かでそれぞれの建物や街の雰囲気が大変美しくて感動しました。
参加して本当に良かったです。

Most of the participants were from abroad, but the guide was able to communicate in Japanese, so I enjoyed the experience without any worries. Everyone on the bus was quiet, punctual, and followed the rules.

One concern was that the bus was not cleaned properly. There were crumbs of food on the seats, and the windows had what looked like human grease stains on them.

ほぼ国外の方ばかりですが、ガイドさんは日本語での対応もしてくださるので何の心配もなく楽しめました。みなさんバス内も静かで時間も守ってルールある人たちばかりでした。
気になる点はバスの清掃がきちんとされていませんでした。座席には食べ物のクズのような粉があり、ガラスには人の皮脂の汚れのようなものがついたままでした。

About 70-80% of the participants were Chinese. You are assigned a specific seat number when you check in. Our guide, Lee, spoke Japanese very fluently and was easy to understand, providing explanations with a map for each family. He informed us in advance about key points and important notes, so we didn't encounter any issues.

On the way from Nagoya Station to Takayama, there was one restroom break at a service area, and there were no breaks from Takayama to Shirakawa-go, but there was one break from Shirakawa-go back to Nagoya Station. Even when we hit traffic, the driver used his knowledge to avoid delays by getting on and off the expressway, allowing us to arrive on time.

Everyone was punctual, and there were no loud or disruptive individuals; good manners were observed. If you have a free day, I think it would be a good idea to make a reservation.

中国人が７〜８割。座席は受付する時に何番目の席ですと指定されます。
ガイドさんのリーさんは日本語とても流暢で聞き取りやすいし、ひと家族毎に地図で説明をしてくださいました。ポイントとなる所や注意事項を事前に教えていただき困ることはありませんでした。
名古屋駅から高山行くまでにPA1回トイレ休憩、高山から白川郷は無し、白川郷から名古屋駅までにPA1回休憩あります。渋滞はまっても運転手さんの知識で高速降りたり乗ったりして回避しながら時間通りに到着できました。
みんな時間厳守ですし、ギャーギャー騒ぐ人は居なくてマナーが守られていました。ちょっと一日暇があったら予約してみても良いと思います。

I didn't know there were such wonderful places in Japan! Next time, I want to see the winter scenery. This time, I had Hida beef sushi, pho, and curry, and they were all delicious. I want to try Takayama ramen next time.

日本にこんなに素敵なところがあるとは！
今度は、冬景色も見てみたいです。
こんかいは、飛騨牛のお寿司やフォー、カレーを食べましたがどれも美味しかった。今度高山ラーメンも食べてみたい。

Most of the tourists were from China, but there was absolutely no bad manners, which was great. The tour guide explained everything in both Japanese and Chinese, and was very polite. I was very happy to finally visit Shirakawa-go.

中国からの観光客が殆どでしたが、マナーが悪い事も全くなく良かったです。
添乗員の方も日本語と中国語で説明して下さり、とても丁寧でした。
念願の白川郷に行けてとても良かったです。

I booked a local day tour to Kamikochi, which really saves the hassle of constantly changing buses. The journey is long, but fortunately, there are rest stops to stretch your legs. We had three hours in Kamikochi, which was really enough time. The scenery is truly beautiful and worth it, even though the ride was long.

預定了日本當地的一日遊去上高地真的省去不停換車的麻煩.只是路途遙遠.還好中間有休息站下車動一動.在上高地有3個小時的時間.真的足夠.風景真的很美很值得.雖然坐車很久.

Visiting two attractions in one go was great, and the time spent was more than enough. Participating in local tours in Japan is really convenient. You don't have to transfer trains yourself. Booking through Veltra is very simple.

ㄧ次玩兩個景點.停留的時間也很充足.參加日本當地旅遊真的方便.不用自己轉車.從Veltra上預定很簡單.

It was cloudy, but the wind was cool and comfortable for this time of year. The participants were punctual, so we were able to return an hour early. The guide was kind and cute, and the driver was skilled. I have no complaints; it was fun. By the way, there were about five Japanese people.

曇ってたけどこの時期にしては風は涼しく快適だった
参加者も時間厳守で行動してたので時間通りというか１時間も早く帰って来れた
ガイドさんも親切で可愛いしドライバーさんも運転うまいし
言うこと無く楽しかった
ちなみに日本人は５名くらいだったかな

Due to the rain, I couldn't go to Kamikochi on the day, but the destination was quickly changed to another sightseeing spot. Moreover, I was able to participate for free the next day. Thank you for the prompt response.

雨の原因で、当日上高地に行けなかったが、すぐ目的地が別の観光地に変更されました。しかも次の日に無料で参加することができました。迅速な対応ありがとうございました。

About 80% of the participants were from China, and 20% were Japanese, but the guide's Japanese was fluent, and there was hardly any sense of discomfort. We couldn't fully explore Takayama in the 2 hours allotted, while we had extra time in Shirakawa-go, so I would appreciate it if more time could be added for Takayama.

中国かるの参加者が8割、日本人が2割と言った感じでしたが、ガイドさんの日本語は流暢で殆ど違和感はありませんでした。高山が2時間では回りきれず、逆に白川郷では時間が余ってしまいましたので、高山の時間を増やして頂けたら嬉しいです。

It was a calm day after the rice planting.
Before the rainy season, it was neither too hot nor too cold, and it became a wonderful memory.
It was a lovely village filled with the wisdom and bonds of the Japanese people.

田植え後の穏やかな日和でした。
梅雨に入る前で暑くもなく、
寒くもなく、いい思い出になりました。
日本人の生きる知恵と絆が詰まった
素敵な村でした。

I was able to efficiently visit three ancient capitals in one day. I participated in June, but I would like to visit Shirakawa-go in winter as well. The female tour guide spoke Japanese well and provided clear explanations, so I think this is a recommended tour.

１日で効率良く3古都巡りができました。6月に参加しましたが冬の白川郷も行ってみたいですね。日本語も上手に話せる女性の添乗員で案内もわかりやすくしてもらいおすすめのツアーかと思います。

I was looking for tourist spots in Nagoya that I could visit before the night bus departure, and the timing and price were just right, so I decided to join as a solo participant. As the reviews mentioned, it was mostly a tour for international travelers, with about 40 people, and only three of us were Japanese.

In the morning, I felt a bit anxious, but everyone was very well-mannered, acted on time, and the bus was completely quiet and comfortable. The tour guide was also very polite, explaining the pamphlets one by one at each seat, which made it easy to understand.

The bus driver was a woman, and she drove safely, allowing me to spend the day with peace of mind. I'm glad I participated. I definitely want to visit Shirakawa-go in winter, so I think I'll join again.

名古屋で夜バスの時間までで行ける観光地を探してて、時間、料金と丁度良いので1人で参加してみました。口コミの通り、ほぼ海外の方達のツアーで40人程の中、日本人は3人でした
朝はちょっと不安になりましたが、皆さん本当にマナーがよく時間通り行動してバスの車内でも全然静かで快適でした
添乗員さんも、大変丁寧な対応でパンフレットを1組ずつ座席を回って説明してくれて分かりやすかったです。
バスの運転手さんも女性の方でしたが、安全運転で安心して1日が過ごせました
参加して良かったです。冬の白川郷にも是非行ってみたいので又参加してみようと思います

As the reviews mentioned, there were only foreigners and we were the only Japanese. Everyone was punctual and very well-mannered, making for a comfortable bus tour. The tour guide spoke multiple languages and came to our seats to explain the pamphlet in each language. They were very kind. In Takayama, we ran out of time since it was lunchtime.

口コミの通り、外国籍の方ばかりで日本人は私たちだけでした。みなさん、時間も守りマナーもとてもよく快適なバスツアーでした。添乗員さんは多国語を話し、パンフの説明もそれぞれの言葉で席まで来て説明してくれます。とても親切ですよ。高山は、お昼時なので時間が足らなくなりました。

It was my first time in Kamikochi, and it truly lived up to its reputation as a famous scenic spot in Japan. Thank you to both the driver and the guide for their hard work. They were very skilled, which made me feel at ease during the trip. I definitely want to use their services again. There were mostly foreign tourists, but thanks to the guide's instructions, it was a good trip where everyone followed the rules. In fact, it was the Japanese tourists who caused some issues.

初めての上高地♪さすが日本の名勝地でした。
運転手さん、ガイドさん共にお疲れ様でした。非常に優秀な方々でしたので安心して旅行出来ました。また是非利用したいと思います。
9割外国人の方々でしたがガイドさんの指導もあり。ルールを守る良い旅でした。寧ろ日本人の方の宝が問題発生させてました。

This was my first time visiting Takayama and Shirakawa-go. It was a one-day course departing from and returning to Nagoya. The tour guide and the bus driver were wonderful, making the journey comfortable both ways. Just before arrival, the tour guide wrote notes on a map and explained it to each group. The driver was always smiling and had a great vibe.

As for the sightseeing spots, I can say they are "a must-visit at least once in your life." Especially in Shirakawa-go, I recommend the "interior tours" at several houses. I visited Meizenji, and it was incredibly fascinating to see the depth of history and culture!

初『高山・白川郷』でした。名古屋発着の１日コース。
添乗員さん＋バスの運転手さんがすばらしくて、行き帰りの行程も快適でした。
到着直前に、添乗員さんが地図に手書きの書き込みをつけて、一組ずつ説明して渡してくれます。運転手さんもいつも笑顔でいい感じの方。
観光地については、『人生で一度は訪れるべき』っていう感想です。特に白川郷では、数軒ある『内部見学』がオススメです。私は『明善寺』でしたが、奥深さがいろいろと見えてめちゃくちゃ興味深かったです❗️

Most of the participants were from overseas, and the guide provided explanations in three languages. It was also great that the bus was large and spacious. We were able to visit three tourist attractions in one day, and the time spent at each location was just right.

参加者のほとんどが海外の方で、ガイドさんは3カ国語で説明をしてくれました。バスが大型で広々使うことができたのもよかったです。観光名所3ヶ所に1日で行け、滞在時間もそれぞれちょうどよかったです。

The guide was Chinese and was fluent in Japanese, using three languages as indicated in the tour information. Most of the participants were Chinese, with only us being Japanese, but the guide paid close attention to us and provided detailed sightseeing information. We were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you, guide.

中国人のガイドさんでした。ツアーの案内のとおり3カ国語を使いこなせる方で、流暢な日本語でした。利用者の殆どは中国の方で日本人は私達のみでしたがガイドさんは私達によく気を配り詳しく観光案内をしていただけました。安心してツアーを満喫できました。ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

I was with people from various countries, and I was impressed by everyone's good manners. I would like a map to be prepared in advance. It was my first time visiting Gujo Hachiman, and I want to go again early.

多国の方とご一緒でしたがみなさんマナーが良く関心しました。
事前にマップを用意して欲しいです。
郡上八幡は初めて訪れた場所でした、早い時間にもう一度行きたいです。

While Shirakawa-go is famous in winter, spring is perfect for walking and exploring. A little snow remained on the ground, and the contrast between the cherry blossoms and the gassho-zukuri architecture was lovely.

冬の白川郷が有名ですが、春は歩きやすく散策には最高です。雪が地面に少し残り、桜と合掌造りのコントラストが素敵でした。

I think we were the only two Japanese participants this time. The guide was from China and explained the highlights of each location in Chinese, English, and Japanese. I felt it was a great value to visit three places at this price.

今回参加した中で、私たち2名だけが日本人だったと思います。
ガイドさんは中国の方で、中国語、英語、日本語で各地の見どころを説明してくださいました。
このお値段で3カ所まわれてコスパよかったと思います。
