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
高山は昼時なので、あらかじめ食べたいものを決めて行く方がいいと思います。
2時間なので行列店だと食事だけで観光が短くなってしまいますね

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。

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❗️

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.

As I read in the reviews, it was quite a struggle to find the guide at the morning meeting point. Once I found someone who seemed to be the guide, I was shown a list to find my name. If it wasn't there, I had to go to the guide for a different bus and search for my name again.
Once the group gathered, we hurriedly followed the guide to the bus stop. The guide was Chinese, so the initial explanation was in Chinese, followed by a brief translation in English. There was hardly any explanation in Japanese.
Before arriving in Gujo, there was a long explanation in Chinese, then a brief summary in English and a little in Japanese. The free time was less than an hour, and those who wanted to walk freely had to do so on their own, while others followed the fast-paced guide. During the walk, there wasn't much explanation, and participants were busy taking photos while trying to catch up with the guide.
Once everyone was gathered, the bus departed for Hida Takayama. Again, the explanation was long in Chinese, with a simple English summary, and in Japanese it was very brief, like "This is Hida Takayama. The meeting time is at what time. That's all." I had been there several times before, so it was fine for me, but my partner, who only speaks English, found it difficult to understand if they weren't focused when the guide explained in English.
The old town was crowded with foreign tourists, and entering shops took some time, so we just walked around without stopping anywhere. The free time there was about two hours, but as long as we decided on which shops to visit and where to grab a snack, we managed to get around. This time, we had Hida beef buns, visited a chopstick shop (where I had my name engraved on chopsticks), enjoyed mitarashi dango, gohei mochi, and even did a sake tasting at a brewery (though we rushed through it).
We arrived at Shirakawa-go around 4 PM, so it was disappointing that some shops and houses were closed. The sightseeing there was mostly free as well.
We felt good about visiting three cities in one day, but I wished the guide had done a bit more guiding. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked a bit more free time, especially since our stay in Gujo was too short.
So, I gave it a rating of ⭐3.
レビューで読んでいた通り、朝の集合場所でガイドを見つけるのに一苦労。
そしてガイドらしき人をみつけたらそこでリストを見せられ自分の名前を探す→見つからなければ違う号車だからそっちのガイドのところへ行き再度自分の名前を探す。
人数が集まった様なら急ぎ足で歩くガイドのあとを必死で追いかけバス乗場まで。
ガイドは中国人だったので最初の説明は中国語。その後簡単に訳した英語。そして日本語では殆ど説明がないといっていい。
まず最初に郡上へ着く直前に長々と中国語で説明、そして簡単な英語と日本語でも少し。
自由時間は1時間もなく、自由に歩き回りたい人は自分で歩きそれ以外は早足のガイドに着いていく感じ。
歩いている間たいした説明もなく参加者は写真を撮っては早歩きでガイドに追い付く感じ。
そして人数揃ったらバスは出発飛騨高山へ。ここでも説明は同じく長い中国語での説明と簡単な英語に日本語では「飛騨高山です。集合時間は何時です。以上」みたいにとても簡素でした。
私は何度か行っていたのでそれでも大丈夫でしたが、初めて行ったパートナーは英語しか喋れないのでガイドが英語で説明する時に集中していないとよくわからない感じでした。
古い町並みは外人の観光客で溢れ、お店に入るとちょっと時間がかかってしまうため片道はどこも立ち寄らずに町を見て歩いた感じです。
そこでの自由時間は2時間くらいの自由時間でしたが行く店と買い食いするお店さえ決めておけばなんとかまわれました。
今回は飛騨牛肉まん、お箸屋さん(お箸に名前を入れてもらいました)、みたらし団子、五平餅、そして酒蔵にて飲み比べ(かなり急いで飲みましたが)もできました。
そして白川郷に着いたのが4時くらいだったので閉まっているお店や家があったのが残念でした。
ここでの観光も殆ど自由でした。
私たちは1日で3都市まわれたので良かったと思っていますが、ガイドとしてついて来るならもう少しガイドらしいことしてほしかったです。
欲を言えば自由時間がもう少し欲しかったなあと。
特に郡上での滞在は短すぎました。
ということで⭐3にさせてもらいました
There isn't much explanation from the guide, so I think it's better for those from English-speaking countries and Japanese people to plan what they want to do at the places they visit beforehand.
ガイドからの説明はあまりないので英語圏、日本人の方は行く前に訪れる場所でどうしたいかとか色々プランしておいた方がいいと思います。

Both the bus driver and the guide were very kind and accommodating. There were just under 40 tour participants, and our family of four was the only Japanese group. Some reviews mentioned that those who might have reservations about joining a tour with foreigners (from Korea and Taiwan) should consider it carefully, but we had no such concerns at all. The passengers were well-mannered, and everyone adhered to the meeting times. The driver was very considerate towards my elderly wife, who has limited mobility, and we are very grateful for that. Thank you very much.

I hadn't done much research before going, so I was a bit anxious, but there were no problems at all. The driver's driving was safe, and I didn't feel any anxiety. We visited three places, which was a bit hard, but each had its own charm, and we were blessed with good weather, making for a fulfilling day. There were many foreign visitors.

Still, when we arrived at Nagoya Station, the final greeting from the guide was met with applause and shouts of "thank you" from the passengers, which made me feel very warm inside.

However, it was disappointing that while the two-hour exploration of Takayama was nice, two hours in Shirakawa-go was not enough, and I couldn't make it to the observation deck. The shuttle bus had a long line, and I tried to walk but ended up taking the wrong path.

I participated in this bus tour, but unfortunately, the service was very poor, and I cannot recommend it.
1. Tour Guide's Response
The tour guide was Chinese and had limited Japanese skills, making communication difficult. Additionally, they seemed inexperienced with the tour's progression, and information sharing about meeting places and times was insufficient.
2. Mistake in Meeting Place Guidance
There was no announcement regarding the meeting place or itinerary changes, and we ended up waiting in the wrong location. Afterward, we headed to the correct meeting place, but the bus ended up passing by the original location where we were waiting. If there had been an explanation when I called about the delay, we wouldn't have needed to move unnecessarily. It was very challenging to rush down a crowded street with a small child in the snow and poor footing.
3. Impact of Other Participants' Delays
Other participants arrived significantly late, causing a major delay (about 2 hours). By the time we reached our destination, many shops were closed, ruining the sightseeing experience. The return home was also quite late, which was particularly tough for those with children.
4. Poor Balance Between Cost and Service
I booked this tour because it was cheaper compared to other bus tours, but even at a low price, such poor management is unsatisfactory. Unfortunately, this is a tour I cannot recommend.
I hope for improvements, but as it stands, I cannot consider using this service again.
今回、こちらのバスツアーに参加しましたが、残念ながら非常に対応が悪く、参加をおすすめできません。
1. 添乗員の対応
添乗員の方は中国人の方でしたが、日本語があまりできず、意思疎通が困難でした。加えて、ツアーの進行にも不慣れな様子で、集合場所や時間等情報共有が不十分でした。
2. 集合場所の案内ミス
集合場所や行程変更の案内がなく、私たちは誤った場所で待機することに。その後、正しい集合場所に向かいましたが、結局バスが元々私たちがいた場所を通過する形に。遅れてしまうことをお電話した際に説明があれば無駄に移動する必要はなかったのに、雪が降り足元の悪い中、小さな子どもを連れて混雑した道を急ぐ羽目となり、とても大変でした。
3. 他の参加者の遅刻による影響
他の参加者が大幅に遅れて到着したため、予定より大幅に遅延。(約2時間遅れ)目的地に着いた頃には閉まっている店も多く、せっかくの観光が台無しに。帰宅時間もかなり遅くなり、特に子連れには厳しい状況でした。
4. コストとサービスのバランスが悪い
他のバスツアーと比較して料金が安かったため予約しましたが、安いとはいえ、ここまでお粗末な運営では満足できません。残念ながら、参加をおすすめできないツアーでした。
改善を期待したいですが、今のままでは再利用は考えられません。
Dear Shirakawa,
I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had.
It is true that many unexpected events occurred that day, and I do not intend to make excuses, but I would like to explain the circumstances.
1. The staff on that day were not very proficient in Japanese, which made communication difficult. There was a mistake regarding the bus stop when we gathered in the morning.
2. Due to heavy snowfall in the days leading up to your visit, Shirakawa-go experienced traffic congestion, and on that day, there was an accident causing a traffic jam at the Shirakawa-go Tunnel. It was a mistake to drop you off at a different location to avoid delays. With customers from various countries, it was rash to make the decision to disembark without being able to explain properly to each individual.
We will strengthen our management and training moving forward.
I truly empathize with your feelings and once again, I apologize.
しらかわ様、悪い経験をさせてしまい、大変申し訳ございません。 その日、たくさんのハプニングが起こったのは事実で、弁解するつもりはないですが、事情をご説明させてください。 1. その日のスタッフは日本語があまり上手ではありません、うまく伝えれないところはあります。朝集合しているときに、バスバースの間違いでした。 2 連日大雪で、白川郷は渋滞で、入るのは1時間以上かかる日もあり、当日は事故で白川郷トンネルで交通渋滞が発生しており、無駄がないようにいつもと違うところに降車させたのはまた大間違いでした。色んな国のお客様がおり、一人ずつにうまく説明できなければ、降車する判断は軽率でした。今後は管理と教育を強化していきます。
お客様の気持ちを痛感しております。改めてお詫び申し上げます。

It was my first time in Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go. We had 2 hours of free time in Hida Takayama and 2 hours in Shirakawa-go. The time in Takayama was just right, but 2 hours in Shirakawa-go was not enough. This was because the walking path to the viewpoint I wanted to visit was closed due to snow, so the only option was the shuttle bus, which had a long line of about an hour to board. In the end, it was certain that I wouldn't make it back in time for the bus departure, so I reluctantly gave up (tears). Since the shuttle bus only came every 20 minutes, I think anyone wanting to go to the viewpoint during this season needs at least 3 hours of free time... Other than that, I was very satisfied! I was also able to buy the water pudding. About 90% of the tour participants were foreigners, but there were no particular issues.

The plan was to visit Shirakawa-go, but due to a severe cold wave, the news had been advising against visiting Shirakawa-go and announcing road closures for 2-3 days prior to the tour. Despite this, when I confirmed whether the tour would proceed, I received a response that the tour would take place on the day. Since cancellations on the day before do not qualify for a refund, I participated, but in the end, we could only go to Gujo Hachiman. About 80% of the participants were foreigners. There were few Japanese participants, and it was very disappointing given my expectations.
After going to Gujo Hachiman, we were told we would go to an outlet as an option, but I couldn't help but think that this was part of the original plan. In the end, we had to return to Nagoya Station right away. I find it unacceptable that the tour was conducted knowing in advance that we couldn't go, and I inquired about it, but I didn't even receive a response, so I will no longer use this site.
I appreciate the guide and the driver who safely drove us on the day.

I don't think it's possible to explore so efficiently on your own, especially in winter, so I was very satisfied! The time allocation was very sufficient, and in Gujo Hachiman, we walked to scenic spots with the guide, while in Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, we had the freedom to wander around.

時間配分もとても十分で、郡上八幡ではガイドさんに連れられ景観の良い場所を歩き、飛騨高山、白川郷は自由に歩き回りました。
If you want to efficiently visit these places in one day, this is the perfect tour!
効率よくこれらの場所を1日で巡りたいのであれば、最適のツアーです!

I visit Takayama every year, but this is my first time in Shirakawa-go. I wish I could have walked around a bit longer. It's such a lovely place, and I would like to visit again. The tour guide was a wonderful person, and I understood everything they said. I think it would have been nice to have a slightly longer time at the café. Please introduce me to another tour.
高山は、毎年行きますが、白川郷は、はじめてです。
もう少し長い時間散歩できると良かったです。素敵なところなので、もう一度いきたいです
添乗員さんは、とても素晴らしい人で、話しもよくわかりました。
少し長いカフェの時間が、あると良かったかなと思います
また、ツアーを紹介してください。
I would like to experience a lodging tour as well.
宿泊ツアーも、体験したいです。

The tour guide was very kind! I was worried about meeting at the police box in front of Nagoya Station on the day, but there was a guide holding a flag with the tour company's name, and I understood right away when I asked.
ツアーガイドさんがとても親切でした!
当日の待ち合わせが名古屋駅前の交番前だったので、会えるか心配でしたが

During our trip to Nagoya as a couple, we spontaneously decided to visit Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go. To our surprise, once we got past the highway, it was like entering a snowy country (laughs). We were amazed by the many inbound travelers, and we enjoyed conversations with them while savoring delicious food. The gohei mochi, skewered dumplings, Hida beef, and amazake were all so tasty! The people we met were kind, and our guide provided thorough explanations with a great smile.
夫婦で名古屋旅行の時に、思い立って飛騨高山と白川郷へ行きました。まさか、高速抜けると、雪国でした(笑)
たくさんのインバウンド旅行の方々にびっくりしながらも会話も楽しく食べ物も美味しくいただきました。やはり五平餅や串団子、飛騨牛、甘酒、すべてうま~い。出会った人たちも優しかった。ガイドさんも丁寧に説明してくれて笑顔もよかったです。

On December 29, 2024, I participated in a sightseeing tour of Shirakawa-go and Takayama. Starting from the urban landscape of Nagoya, the scenery transformed into lush green mountains, brown coniferous forests, and a snow-covered silver world, which was truly breathtaking. I was particularly moved every time we passed through a tunnel, as a completely different world unfolded before us.
I heard that there had been heavy snowfall the day before, so there were some traffic delays and unstable weather. However, thanks to our guide's professional judgment, they flexibly adjusted the order and timing of our itinerary. Because of this, we were able to enjoy all the sightseeing spots safely and smoothly, for which I am truly grateful.
This tour was an amazing experience and has become an unforgettable memory. I highly recommend it to many people!
2024年12月29日に、白川郷と高山を巡る観光ツアーに参加しました。名古屋の都会的な街並みからスタートし、緑豊かな山々、茶色の針葉樹林、そして一面雪に覆われた白銀の世界へと移り変わる景色は、本当に息をのむ美しさでした。特にトンネルを通り抜けるたびに、まったく異なる世界が広がっていて感動しました。
前日に大雪が降ったとのことで、多少の渋滞や天候の不安定さもありましたが、ガイドさんのプロフェッショナルな判断によって、柔軟に行程の順番や時間を調整してくださいました。そのおかげで、すべての観光地を安全かつスムーズに楽しむことができ、心から感謝しています。
このツアーは本当に素晴らしい体験で、忘れられない思い出になりました。ぜひ多くの方に参加をおすすめしたいです!

I participated in the Shirakawa-go and Takayama sightseeing tour on December 29, 2024. Traveling by bus, the scenery changed beautifully from the urban landscape of Nagoya to green mountains, brown coniferous forests, and then to the snow-covered wonderland. Each tunnel we passed led us to a completely different world. I heard that there was heavy snow the day before, which caused some traffic jams and unpredictable weather conditions.

This time, I stayed overnight in Nagoya for a live event and was wondering where to go the next day. I had always wanted to visit the snowy Shirakawa-go, so when I searched, I found this bus tour. I was a bit worried since it was available in Chinese, English, and Japanese (I wonder how many Japanese people were there?), but the guide talked non-stop and provided various explanations, including popular shops and recommended meals. The meeting and departure times were strictly followed, and the tour ended without any issues. Some people reclined their bus seats or brushed off the snow that had accumulated on their coats inside the bus, but it seemed there were no issues regarding that.
今回、ライブで名古屋に1泊して次の日どこへ出かけようかと。
以前より雪の白川郷へは行ってみたいなぁと思っていたので、検索するとこちらのバスツアーがヒットしました。
中国語、英語、日本語対応との事で少々心配してましたが(日本人何人いたかしら?)ガイドさんはずっと喋りっぱなしで色々説明してくださいました。人気のお店とかお勧めの食事とか。
集合出発時間も、きちんと守られて問題無くツアーも終了しました。
バスの座席を倒したり、コートに積もった雪をバスの中で払ったりする方もいらっしゃいましたが、その辺りは注意はなかったようです。

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。

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。
In winter, there is a possibility of delays in arrival, so it is recommended to allow some flexibility in your schedule.
冬は到着が遅くなる可能性がありますので、スケジュールには余裕を持っておくことをお勧めします。

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。

I think it's better to decide what you want to eat in advance since it's lunchtime in Takayama. With only two hours, if you go to a popular restaurant, your sightseeing time will be shortened just for
