The humorous explanations from the tour guide were incredibly enjoyable. Shirakawa-go had nice weather. The Kanda family house was not crowded, but it was definitely worth seeing. The inbound visitors were captivated by the rice harvesting with the combine. We were able to capture great scenes with the remaining rice stalks and the trees starting to turn red.
On the other hand, it started to rain in Ainokura, but at Yusuke, we could vividly imagine the silk farming from that time. Additionally, the washi paper-making experience was a great memory for the family from Germany who were also delighted.
添乗員さんのユーモアあふれる説明は最高に楽しめました。
白川郷はいい天気。神田家は空いていたけど見ごたえ十分。
インバウンドの皆さんはコンバインでの稲刈りの様子に見入っていました。稲穂が残っているところ、赤く色づいてきた木など、良いシーンが撮れました。
一転、相倉は雨になってしまいましたが、勇助では当時の養蚕業の様子を具体的にイメージできました。また、和紙漉き体験はドイツから来た親子も喜んでいていい記念になりました。
Dear Jimmy,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed the scenery and sightseeing in Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. It seems that many inbound guests are quite interested in experiences that are hard to come by, such as using combines and rice planters. Were you able to take many memorable photos in both villages?
Thank you also for your kind words about our tour guide. We will continue to strive to provide even better experiences in the future.

The guide was not at the meeting time, and the bus number that was originally listed was different, so we had to walk around quite a bit at the meeting place to find it. The bus was also in very poor condition. It was not a large tour bus, but a small microbus, giving more of a feeling of being transported rather than riding. The ride was very bumpy, lacked cleanliness, and even had an unpleasant smell. If I had brought my grandparents, I think I would have canceled.
The guide could not speak Japanese. Since we could speak both English and Chinese, we managed, but I felt that at least someone who could speak simple Japanese would be necessary in case of an emergency.
Although it was stated that we would go directly from Nipponbashi in Osaka to Shiga, we ended up going to Kyoto because we had to go to another boarding point, resulting in a loss of about 50 to 60 minutes overall. The time we had at the main attraction, the art museum, was significantly shortened, which was quite disappointing. We could hardly see the exhibits, and since we also had to have lunch, it was very busy.
Additionally, despite the tour fee being quite high, all entrance fees and meal costs were out of pocket. I think it's usually included, so that was disappointing.
The only good thing was that we were able to go to places we normally wouldn't visit. The price and quality are not balanced at all.
集合時間にガイドがおらず、元々記載されていたバスのナンバーも異なっており、集合場所でかなり歩き回ってさがしました。
そしてバスがあまりにもボロい。
大きな観光バスではなく、小型のマイクロバスで、乗車というよりかは輸送されている(運ばれている)感覚。揺れも大きく、清潔感もなく、臭いまでありました。仮に祖父母などを連れていっていたとしたらキャンセルしていたと思います。
ガイドは日本語が話せませんでした。
我々が英語も中国語もできたからまだ大丈夫でしたが、せめて簡単な日本語を話せる人じゃないと緊急時は頼りにならないなと思いました。
大阪日本橋からそのまま滋賀に向かうと書かれていたのに、もうひとつの乗り場までいくからとのことで京都まで行き、全体で見ると50~60分のロス。
最初に行ったツアーのメインである美術館での時間は大変短くなってしまい、かなり残念でした。展示品はほぼ見ることが出来ず、昼食も取らなければならなかったのでかなり忙しかったです。
またツアー代はしっかりかかっているにも関わらず、入場代や食事代は全て実費。
普通は含まれていることが多いと思うので、残念でした。
良かったところは普段行けないところに行けたという一点のみ。
値段と質があまりにも釣り合っておりません。

It was hard to understand which bus to take! If the goal is to teach Japanese manners while sightseeing, I would have liked to see the guide apologize to everyone for being 15 minutes late. Also, I was surprised that while Japanese people tend to sit in the same spot once they take their seats, foreigners do not. The guide was very dedicated and tried hard to communicate in Japanese, and I felt a bit sorry for participating as a Japanese person, but it was fun. Next time, I want to study English and join!
どのバスにのるかわかりづらかった!
日本のマナーとか教えたりしながら観光をする事が目的だとすれば、出発時間15分遅れて来たら、皆に一言謝る姿勢なども伝えてほしかった!また、1度座席に座れば、同じ場所に座るのが、日本人だが、外国の人は、そうではないのにびっくりしたのが、大きすぎて、ガイドも日本語で、がんばって接してくれていて日本人が一緒に参加して申し訳なかったですが、楽しかったです。今度は、英語を勉強してきて参加したいですね!
It's essential to know the guide and bus number when signing up. I was flustered.

It took about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Kameoka to Arashiyama. The travel time seems to vary depending on the water level; it can take as little as 1 hour or up to 2 hours at the longest. On the day I participated, the water level wasn't very high, so it was a calm boat trip while enjoying the scenery.
There were moments when the river narrowed or had significant drops, but that was also quite pleasant. For those seeking thrills, I think rafting would be a better option.
There were three boatmen who took turns rowing, as it is physically demanding work. It was very impressive to see them earnestly guiding the guests in English, especially since most of the customers were foreigners. Their efforts to entertain the guests, often with laughter, were evident.
Along the way, you can see rare wild birds and a trolley train, and you can leisurely enjoy the picturesque mountains and rivers that resemble Japan's original landscapes. However, I wouldn't recommend participating in the height of summer or winter (I heard that a roof is put up in the summer). Depending on the travel time, some people might get a bit bored, and I experienced a little seasickness.
I recommend this for those who love vehicles or want to experience something out of the ordinary. If you decide to participate, I think it's best to bring minimal luggage.
亀岡から嵐山まで1時間40分ほどかかりました。水の量によって所用時間が変わるようで、早ければ1時間遅くて2時間かかることもあるとのことでした。
私が参加した日は水が多くなかったようで、景色を眺めながら穏やかな船旅でした。

スリルを求める人はラフティングの方が良いと思います。
船頭さんは3人で、力仕事なので交代しながら船を漕いでくれます。
お客さんのほとんどが外国人という中で英語で一生懸命案内している姿がとても印象的で、時折笑いも交えながらお客さんを楽しませようという気持ちが伝わってきました。
道中は珍しい野鳥やトロッコ列車が見えたり、日本の原風景のような山と川の景色をのんびりと楽しむことができます。ただ真夏や真冬の参加はおすすめしません。(真夏は屋根が出るとのこと)
所用時間によっては少し飽きてしまう人もいそうなのと、私は少しだけ船酔いしました。
乗り物が好きな方や非日常を味わいたい方におすすめです。
参加される際は荷物少なめが良いと思います。

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.

Yesterday was a scorching day at 33℃, but today it unfortunately rained. It was nice and cool, but by the time we arrived at Shirakawa-go, we were caught in quite a heavy downpour, and it was raining the hardest when we reached the observation deck.
As we walked down, the path turned into a river, and when the thunder started, we took shelter for 30 minutes under the eaves of the Wada House. With only 30 minutes left of our free time, the rain lightened, so we hurried to take a quick round, capturing the recommended photo spots, and somehow made it in time for our lunch gathering. We enjoyed a delicious lunch.
Since we were on a tour with guests from France, Germany, Australia, and Canada, we had an interpreter guide. After the Japanese guide, there was an English guide, which helped me learn how to express things in English. Both guides were very considerate of all the passengers, which was great.

Dear Nono,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour and for your candid feedback. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding caused by the statement "Leave the guidance of the Gassho-zukuri to us!" which led to the expectation that our tour guide would provide guidance within the village. As stated in the tour schedule, the tour includes "free exploration in Shirakawa-go and Gokayama," and while our guide will accompany you, they do not provide guidance on-site.
Additionally, during peak seasons in Shirakawa-go, dining establishments can become very crowded, and you may have to wait for a long time. Therefore, our tour includes a lunch plan.
We will strive to improve our expressions and guidance to make them clearer, ensuring that you can participate with peace of mind in the future.

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!!
Walking to the observation deck is quite difficult, so I recommend using the shuttle bus. However, the buses only run once every 20 minutes and are relatively small, so the wait time took longer than
展望台迄は歩くのはかなり大変なのでシャトルバスの利用お勧め
ただ、バスの本数が20分に1本とバスも小さ目なので待ち時間が予想よりかかり、滞在時間が120分だったので
ピンポイントしか観光できず残念

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。
In Takayama, it might be a good idea to research the places to visit in advance, as it can be difficult to explore at a leisurely pace.
高山ではゆっくり回ることは難しいので、回るところを前もって調べておくと良いかもしれません。

About 80% of the tour participants were foreign tourists, and as a minority Japanese family, we were a bit worried about feeling out of place. However, our guide, Mr. Kuroda, with his fluent English and Japanese, along with his calm and humorous talk, eased our concerns.
Shirakawa-go, our destination, was also crowded with foreign tourists, but thanks to the recommended hidden spots that Mr. Kuroda shared with us in advance, we were able to enjoy a leisurely tour and were very satisfied with the experience.
ツアー参加者の80%位が外国人観光客で、少数派の日本人の家族連れとしては少し場違いな雰囲気に心配していましたが、ガイドの黒田さんの流暢な英語&日本語の穏やかでユーモアあふれるトークで、不安も吹っ飛びました。
目的地の白川郷も、ご多分に漏れず外国人観光客で溢れかえっていましたが、ガイドの黒田さんから事前に教えていただいたオススメの穴場スポットを中心にゆったり観光して回ることができ満足度の高いツアーでした。
I definitely recommend the tour with Mr. Kuroda as the guide!
ガイドは黒田さん確定のツアーを是非オススメします!
Dear Hiroko,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour and for your wonderful review.
I am very pleased to hear that, despite feeling some initial anxiety as an overseas visitor, you were able to relax and enjoy yourself thanks to the explanations and humorous talks from our guide, Kuroda. It’s great to know that the hidden spots we introduced beforehand were helpful, allowing you to fully enjoy your sightseeing experience.
Shirakawa-go offers different charms in each season. If you have the opportunity, please come again during a different season. We look forward to welcoming you!

Went with my family, since we came the service was very efficient, no waiting line and it was a private reservation so we had the boat by ourselves.
The view is beautiful, the food was really good and had a lot of variety of Japanese food, the presentation of everything was really well thought!
There is also a convenience boat, which selled drinks, grilled squid and dango. It was very nice! 1 hour of boat trip but it was totally worth it.
Would do it again!
I recommend going to the private boat ride if you would like a peaceful experience.
Thank you for boarding.In spring, the cherry blossoms are very beautiful, and in autumn, the colorful leaves are also very beautiful.I am looking forward to the day we can meet.
Please come again.

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。
Please enjoy.
楽しんでください。

The river rafting was filled with nature and was incredibly healing. Despite the heat, the boatmen kept the conversation lively, making it a very enjoyable experience.
川下りも自然がたくさんですごく癒されました。暑い中船頭さん達が話を盛り上げてくれてすごく楽しい川下りでした。
I think it's better to visit after around 3 PM when it gets cooler rather than during the high sun of summer. Since I got off at Arashiyama, I didn't have much time to explore there.
夏は太陽が高い時間より3時くらいの涼しくなってからの方がいいかと思います。嵐山で降りるので、嵐山ではそんなに見て回る時間はなかったです。

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.

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.
