All Reviews for 2026 Japan Cherry Blossom Tours

The reservation process was easy to understand and simple, and I appreciated the detailed information provided via email about what to be aware of before participating. Fortunately, the weather on the day of the tour was very nice, so I was able to take a lot of great photos. The lunch was delicious, and the guide was kind from start to finish, making for some wonderful memories. Thank you!

予約の手続きは分かりやすくて簡単だし、参加前の注意すべきことはメールで詳しく説明してくれたのもありがたかったです。幸いツアーの当日とても良い天気の日だったんで、いい写真たくさんとることが出来ました。昼ごはんは美味しかったし、ガイドさんも最初から最後まで親切でいてくれたし、なかなか良い思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございます。

The weather was great, and we had the best time sightseeing in Kyoto! Since we could always find seats on the bus, we enjoyed the full day of sightseeing without getting tired. The tour guide was kind and provided us with a lot of information, making it more meaningful than exploring on our own. Lunch and admission fees were included, which made it feel like a great deal. I would love to join another tour!

お天気も良く最高の京都観光が出来ました！バスの中では必ず座れるので、1日観光でも疲れずに楽しめました。添乗員さんは優しく色々教えて下さり自分たちで回るより有意義でした。昼食も拝観料も込みなのでとってもお得感がありました。別のツアーにも参加したいです！

I wish the free time at Kiyomizu-dera was a bit longer. The announcements inside the pass were not audible towards the back. I had a great time.

清水寺フリー時間がもう少し長く。パス内でのアナウンスが後ろの方まで聞こえなかったです。とても楽しかったです

As soon as we realized we wouldn't make it on time due to traffic, we quickly got off the bus and walked together to Shirakawa-go. Our guide also shared great recommendations for souvenirs and local cuisine, creating many unforgettable memories that we wouldn't have experienced otherwise. This was a unique type of guide. I hope we can meet again somewhere.

渋滞で間に合いそうにないと判断するや、すぐにバスから降りて歩いて全員で白川郷に向かったり、おすすめのお土産やグルメ情報を教えてくれたり、なかなか経験出来ない思い出が沢山できました。今までにないタイプのガイドさんでした。
またどこかで巡り会えますように。

Touring in a short schedule... I struggled to decide. Everywhere was crowded, and I don't think I could have done the same sightseeing using public transportation. 😊

短い日程での観光…悩んで決めました。どこも人で溢れ、公共機関では同じ観光はできなかったと思います(^^)

Thank you to all the staff for the very polite explanations! I was able to efficiently visit two gassho-zukuri villages and enjoy the different atmospheres.

スタッフの皆様はとても丁寧に説明して頂いて、ありがとうございました!
効率良く、２つの合掌造りの村を回れて、違う雰囲気を楽しめました。

This tour allows for a relaxed pace, which is wonderful. The local cuisine for lunch was delicious, and we were shown photo spots. They took us by bus to the observation deck, provided us with a map of the village, and informed us about souvenirs that can only be purchased in Shirakawa-go. We had plenty of time to leisurely explore the village, enjoying Hida beef croquettes, doburoku, and gohei mochi, taking photos and buying souvenirs. It was a fantastic experience. Additionally, the guide and driver were very pleasant, making it a memorable trip.

このツアーはゆったり時間をとってあるのでとてもいいです。郷土料理の昼食も美味しく、フォトスポットも教えてもらえたり展望台迄バスで連れて行ってくれ、集落の地図や白川郷でしか買えないお土産を教えてもらったり、ゆっくりと集落を散策できる時間がとってあるので、飛騨牛コロッケ、どぶろく、五平餅等を食べたり写真撮ったりお土産買ったりとてもいい時間が過ごせました。又ガイドさんや運転手もとても感じの良い方だったので、良い思い出になりました。

The weather wasn't great, so my mood didn't reach its peak, but it was wonderful to walk through the scenery that I had only seen in videos and photos until now. I also thought the tour guide's explanations were spot on. Additionally, the access from Kanazawa was manageable in terms of scheduling, making it suitable for families with children. Honestly, I had no expectations for lunch, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. I'm glad I participated in this tour, and I would like to visit again in a different season. I recommend participating as an optional tour from Kanazawa.

天候が今ひとつだったので、気分が最高まで盛り上がらなかったのですが、今まで映像や写真でしか見た事がなかった景色や、その中を歩く事が出来てとても良かったです。添乗員さんの説明もポイントをついていて良かったと思います。また、金沢からのアクセスがスケジュール的に無理がなく、子供連れの家族参加でも問題がありませんでした。ランチは正直、全く期待していなかったのですが、美味しくいただく事が出来ました。このツアーに参加して良かったですし、違う季節にまた行ってみたいと思いました。金沢からのオプショナルツアーとしての参加おすすめです。

I had a short stay and couldn't take my time to look for souvenirs. I wanted to try some sweets too. The Kyoto cuisine was very delicious. However, it seemed that the foreign guests at the next table left quite a bit of food. You can also enjoy food tours, so maybe consider the meal plan? Isn't it a bit too extravagant?

滞在時間が短くて、ゆっくりお土産を探す事が出来なかった。スイーツ等、食べたかったな〜。京料理はとても美味しかったです。でも、隣の席の外国人の方は、結構、残されてたようでした。食べ歩きも出来るし、食事付きプランは、内容を検討されてみては？豪華過ぎでは？

It was rich in nature, and I was able to relax for the first time in a while. There were many foreign tourists, and there was a long line for the grilled Hida beef. The streets looked like something out of a Japanese folktale. Next, I would like to come to the Doburoku Festival.

自然豊かで久しぶりにリラックスできました。外国人観光客の方も多く飛騨牛の串焼きには長蛇の列ができていました。日本の昔話に出てきたような街並みです。次はどぶろく祭りに来てみたいです。

This time, we used the opportunity to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was like a relay from Fushimi Inari to Kiyomizu Temple, then to Kinkaku-ji, and finally to Arashiyama. I was particularly moved by the thousand torii gates and the bamboo grove. It had been a long time since my school trip to Kyoto, and I was really looking forward to it, and it met my expectations. Additionally, with the easing of COVID restrictions, many visitors from abroad joined us, and I was very satisfied with the dual experience of sightseeing and conversation. I'm excited about the next time when I can enjoy the autumn leaves. Lastly, the guide's conversations were truly enjoyable, as expected from someone from Kansai.

今回は奥様の誕生日祝いを兼ねて利用させていただきました。京都黄金リレーみたいな､伏見稲荷からの清水寺～金閣寺～嵐山のリレー。特に千本鳥居と竹林には感動しました。京都観光は修学旅行依頼でもあり､とても楽しみにきており期待通りでした。また、コロナ制限も緩和され訪日のお客様も多数同行され､観光&会話を楽しめた二刀流に満足度マックス。このつぎは紅葉を楽しめたらとワクワクします。最後にガイドさんの会話もさすがに関西、楽しかった。

This happened last year, but I was surprised by the river rafting incident. When I actually participated, the three boatmen took turns at the front and back, providing enjoyable commentary and giving us a sense of security. It was fun to watch them skillfully navigate through the rough spots and dangerous rapids. Perhaps it was due to some difference in their "technique" that I felt the fear of the water and the fear of nature during that incident. Since this is a traditional activity, I hope to continue passing down those "skills" and safely enjoy that wonderful nature again. I think it's amazing how the scenery changes with the seasons.

利用したのは去年の事ですが、この川下りの事件を見て、驚きました。
実際に乗った時は、船頭さん３人が前後交代しながら楽しく解説してくださり、安心感を与えてくれていました。ドンとくるところとか、急流・交流で危険なところも「技」で越えていくのを楽しく見せていただきました。その「技」の何かの違いだったのでしょうか、水の怖さ、自然の怖さを感じた事件でした。伝統的なものですので、「技」をしっかり受け継いで、あの素晴らしい自然をまた安心して見に行きたいと思います。四季によって景色が変わるのは素晴らしいと思います。

The most challenging aspect was that the lunch venue did not have chair seating, and it was uncomfortable to sit on cushions on the floor. There was no way to order drinks, only tea served in a pot. I would have liked to have a beer since I was thirsty. Additionally, there was a lack of information about why it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and what makes it special; the explanations were very superficial. There were many foreign guests, but the English announcements were inadequate. I hope for improvements.

昼食会場が椅子席ではなく、床に座布団で座りにくいことが一番大変でした。
飲み物も注文を取ることも無く、ポットに入ったお茶だけ。
喉が渇いたのでビールをいただきたかったです。
また、世界遺産登録の所以、何が珍しいのか、などの情報が乏しく、通りいっぺんの説明しか無かったのが残念でした。
外国の方が多かったですが、英語のアナウンスも貧弱でした。
改善を望みます。

I had high expectations because the guide received wonderful comments, but I don't think it was that guide. Also, the English-speaking guide seemed to be someone who was not a professional and appeared to have been thrown into the role by the company that day. It seemed difficult for them to explain and communicate in English, and I truly felt sorry for them.

I believe unforeseen circumstances led to having that kind of guide, but if they are going to be given a microphone as a professional, I hope they receive appropriate training.

ガイドさんが、素晴らしいとコメントにあったので期待してたのですが‥恐らくそのガイドさんではなかったと思う。
又、英語のガイドさんは‥きっとプロではなく、その日会社から無茶振りされたような人だった。
英語での説明、コミュニケーションを取るのが厳しいようで、英語がなかなか出てこず、本当に気の毒になった。

不測の事態が生じて、あのようなガイドさんになったのだと思うが、プロとしてマイクを持たせるのであれば、それ相応の研修などをしてあげて欲しい。

I participated from Kyushu, and it was my first time at Kyoto Station, which was large and difficult to find the meeting place. I finally figured it out after checking with people around me.
About 80% of the participants were foreigners, and the guide efficiently provided information in both English and Japanese, which seemed challenging, but I felt reassured and was able to participate comfortably.
We visited Kyoto's famous sites in one day, and since most of the travel was by bus, we could smoothly reach our destinations and had a fulfilling day.
If I have another opportunity, I would like to participate in other plans as well.

九州からの参加でしたが、京都駅が初めてで広く、集合場所が分かりづらかったです。周囲の方に確認してようやく分かりました。
参加者の8割が外国の方で、ガイドの方が英語、日本語とテキパキと案内され、大変そうでしたが、安心して参加出来ました。
京都の名所を1日で廻り、ほとんどバス移動なので、スムーズに目的地に行けて、充実した1日を過ごすこてが出来ました。
また機会があれば、他のプランで参加してみたいと思います。

It was my first family trip to Kyoto, and I was glad that we arrived at our destinations smoothly without getting lost during the bus transfers. Occasionally, the guide changed, but they were very kind and attentive, which made me feel at ease. We were able to visit all the sightseeing spots in one day, but since the COVID situation has settled down, there were many other tourists at the spring attractions. Because of that, we couldn't take our time sightseeing, and if we have another opportunity, I would like to join other plans as well. It was great that even small children could participate without any difficulty.

初めての京都家族旅行でしたが、バス移動で迷わずスムーズに目的地に到着出来たので良かったです。
時々、担当のガイドの方が変わられることがありましたが、とても親切丁寧で安心できました。
行きたい観光地を1日で廻ることができましたが、コロナが落ち着き、春の観光地は他の観光客も多かったです。そのため、ゆっくり観光ができず、また機会があれば、他のプランにも参加したいです。
小さな子供でも無理なく一緒に参加できて良かったです。

This was my first time participating. I chose this plan to visit many famous tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. Since Kyoto Station is large and it was my first time there, I got a bit lost trying to find the meeting place. About 90% of the participants were from abroad, so the guide alternated between English and Japanese during the tour. The guide provided very detailed explanations of the tourist sites, which was educational. I felt reassured participating because the guide was efficient and very courteous.

初めて参加させて頂きました。有名な京都の観光地を沢山廻りたかったので、1日で巡るこのプランを選びました。
京都駅は広く初めてだったので、集合場所にたどり着くのに迷いました。参加者の9割が外国からの参加者だったので、ガイドの方は英語、日本語と使い分けて案内されてました。観光地をとても詳しく説明して頂いたので、勉強になりました。ガイドの方がテキパキとそして丁寧な対応をされたので安心して参加できました。

The guide and the driver were both very pleasant, making for a fun travel experience. If there’s a machine, I will apply again.

ガイドさんもですが運転手さんもとても感じが良くて楽しい旅の思い出になりました。機械があればまた申し込みます

There were two Japanese people and 95% of the participants were foreigners. Our guide, Ma-chan, provided a very pleasant experience with fluent English and polite Japanese while guiding us through temples and castles. I felt very comfortable during the ride. Besides sightseeing, I enjoy food tours and browsing souvenir shops, so I chose not to have lunch. It was fun to stroll around while enjoying local ice cream and otabe. I live in Osaka, and it was my first time visiting Fushimi Inari and Kinkaku-ji, places I've always wanted to see. The course included four stops, and I found the duration to be just right—not too long and not too short. Thank you very much! ^ - ^

日本人が2人。外国の方が95%乗車の参加日でした。ガイドのまーちゃんさんは流暢な英語と丁寧な日本語で、寺院、お城などの案内をしてくださり、とても気持ちよく車内を過ごせました。観光以外、食べ歩き、お土産屋さんをのぞくのも楽しみなので、昼食無しを選びました。ご当地のアイスやおたべをいただきながら、ぶらりとするのも楽しかったです。大阪に住みながら、いつか行ってみたいと初めて訪れた伏見稲荷、金閣寺。4か所巡るコースでしたが、私的には滞在時間は長すぎず短すぎずの絶妙でした。ありがとうございました〜^ - ^

We participated as a family of four. The tour guide's stories were interesting and filled with useful information, making our time on the bus enjoyable. In Shirakawa-go, which welcomed spring, we had a generous two and a half hours for exploration, allowing us to fully appreciate the gassho-zukuri village. The lunch we had in a renovated room on the second floor of a gassho-zukuri house, featuring Hida beef with bamboo leaves, mountain vegetables, and soba, was delicious, and we left Shirakawa-go feeling satisfied. In the afternoon, we explored the gassho-zukuri village in Gokayama. We heard various stories about Gokayama's gassho-zukuri during the bus ride, which was very informative. The final break included a fun experience of grilling white shrimp rice crackers, and the over eight-hour bus tour was never boring; we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you very much.

Actually, this was a tour I had initially booked three years ago in spring but had to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It felt like a long-awaited assignment after three years, and I am very satisfied to have finally participated in the tour to the gassho-zukuri.

家族4人で参加しました。添乗員の方のお話は面白く且つためになる情報満載で、バスでの移動中も楽しい時間を過ごせました。春を迎えた白川郷では散策時間が2時間半たっぷり取られており、合掌造り集落を堪能することができました。合掌造りの2階をリノベーションしたお部屋で頂いた飛騨牛の朴葉味噌に山菜、蕎麦などの昼食も美味しく、満足して白川郷を後に。午後は五箇山の合掌造り集落を散策。五箇山の合掌造りについてもバスの車中でいろいろなお話を伺い大変有益でした。最後の休憩を兼ねた白海老煎餅焼き体験も楽しく、8時間余りのバスツアーは退屈することもなく、一日楽しませて頂きました。どうもありがとうございました。
実は3年前の春にも一旦予約しておきながら、コロナ禍のためやむなくキャンセルしたツアーだったのでした。今回3年越しの宿題という感じでしたが念願の合掌造りへのツアーに参加させて頂くことができて、大変満足しています。

It was great that we could efficiently visit multiple tourist spots. The positive aspect is that although the schedule was tight, we were able to go to several places in one day. It was enjoyable to see various sights within a limited time, reminiscent of a school trip.

On the downside, the lunch was not good. I made a reservation thinking it would be difficult to find a place to eat since all the restaurants would be crowded if we didn't include lunch, but the cold dengaku, lukewarm yudofu, and the overall taste of the dishes were disappointing, and I couldn't eat much... It left a negative impression. Additionally, some foreign tourists were not punctual, which caused delays as they didn't return on time, making it difficult for the guide who had to call out names loudly to find them.

　効率よく観光スポット巡りが出来るので良かったです。良かった点は時間はタイトですが、1日で数ヶ所に行く事が出来る事。限られた時間の中であれこれ観て回るのも修学旅行の様で楽しかったです。
残念だった点はランチが美味しくなかった事。ランチ付にしなければ　どこのお店も混んでいるので食事をとるのは難しいだろうと思い予約しましたが、冷めた田楽や煮物　ぬるい湯豆腐　お料理自体の味もイマイチで箸が進まず…良い印象は残りませんでした。他には、外国人観光客の中には時間にルーズな方がいて　毎回定刻通りに戻らないため　待たされました。ガイドさんも大声で名前を読んで探しているのが大変そうでした。

It was closer to Shirakawa-go than I expected, and I was able to get there quickly. I had planned to return by Shinkansen that day, but I had plenty of time and was able to enjoy it. Also, with lunch included at this price, I am very satisfied.

思ったより金沢から近く、サクッと白川郷まで行けました。その日に新幹線で帰る予定でしたが、十分に間に合いましたし、楽しむ事が出来ました。
また、お昼もついてこのお値段なら大満足です。

On the day of our visit, it was quite crowded due to the holiday, so we made a reservation. Although there are several boats available on the day, it's recommended to book in advance since there might only be afternoon departures if you go in the morning.

After checking in, we were quickly guided to board the boat. The captain we had was very skilled at storytelling, making it a fun experience that we wanted to keep listening to, with laughter echoing on the boat. There were spots where cherry blossoms were blooming, which were beautiful, and we even encountered wild monkeys, making it a valuable experience.

In mid-March, masks were required due to infection control measures. There were life jackets available to wear around the waist. If you ask the captain, they can provide proper life jackets for you to wear.

It's very unfortunate that an accident occurred the following week. I hope they establish a thorough safety system and reopen soon.

当日は、連休中だったこともあり予約をして行きましたがかなりの人で混みあっていました
※当日でも船は数台出るので乗船できますが、午前中に行って午後からの便しかないこともあるのでなるべく予約して行くことをオススメします

受付後、すぐ乗船の案内があり乗船しました。
私たちが乗った船は船頭さんがめっちゃ口が上手く話し上手でずっと聞いていたくなるぐらい楽しい時間で船上は笑い声が響いてました。
所々、桜が咲いていたところもあり綺麗で野生の猿にも遭遇し貴重な体験をさせて頂きました✨

3月中旬で
感染症対策でマスクの着用はありました。
腰に巻く救命胴衣もありました。
船頭さんに言えばきちんと着る用の救命胴衣も貸して頂けます。


翌週に事故が起こってしまいとても残念です。
万全の安全体制を築き早めの再開を待ってます。

The time management was very good, and it was nice to see everything smoothly. I think that guides in overseas tours tend to provide more detailed explanations compared to Japanese guides. If they could provide more in-depth explanations, I believe it would make the long journey more enjoyable without getting bored. Both the guide and the driver were very considerate, which was great. I think if the company prepared detailed scripts in both Japanese and English, it would make things easier for both the Japanese and English guides.

時間配分も、とても良かったし、サクサクと、見れて良かったです。
海外などのガイドを見ると、日本のガイドより詳しくいろいろと説明してくれる傾向があると思います。
掘り下げた説明をもっとしてもらうと長い道中飽きずに楽しめると思います。
ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても気遣いができて良かったです。会社が詳しい脚本を日本語版と英語版と作って渡しておけば、日本語ガイドさんも英語ガイドさんもラクだと思います。

It's a unique experience to be able to visit so many places in just one day on a tour! Even the small troubles faced by guests were handled smoothly thanks to the wonderful support from our tour guide. Bravo! Hiro, our guide, was fantastic, and his personality and work ethic made for a memorable experience.

I believe there were participants from five different countries? Everyone was smart, and the bus environment was pleasant from start to finish. It's understandable why this tour is popular, as it covers globally renowned tourist spots. The schedule is tight, but there's plenty of time for sightseeing. Even those with walking aids were able to enjoy the tour.

I opted for the admission tickets and lunch, which was definitely the right choice. It was smooth and stress-free. I would love to participate again. Thank you very much!

一日でこれだけのコースをまわれるのはツアーならでは！！お客さんの小さいトラブルも添乗員さんの素晴らしいフォローでとてもスムーズに進みました。ブラボー！ヒロさん（添乗員さん）のお人柄とお仕事ぶりが素晴らしくてそれも一つの思い出に。
今回は５カ国の方が参加と仰っていたかな？皆さんスマートで、スタートからゴールまでのバス車内も終始気持ち良い環境でした。世界的に人気の観光地をこれでもかと周るから、人気なのは納得。時間はタイトだけど観光には充分。杖をついた方もしっかり観光出来ていました。
拝観チケット、昼食付きにしたけど大正解。スムーズでノンストレス。
また是非参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

Kuroda, our guide, provided excellent explanations in both English and Japanese. Thanks to the detailed information, I was able to enjoy the highlights without any confusion.

I was especially happy to be able to take photos of the three gassho-zukuri houses lined up together.

Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

ガイドの黒田さんの英語と日本語の説明、ご案内が素晴らしかったです。
詳しく教えてくださったので、迷うことなく見どころをしっかり楽しむことができました。

特に三軒並んだ合掌造りの家の撮影ができたのがとても嬉しかったです。

どうもありがとうございました。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

Shirakawa-go had a lot of tourists, which was a bit disappointing, but the farmhouse area at the very back was quiet and enjoyable. Gokayama was very peaceful, and the photo of Ainokura with Mount Hakusan in the background taken from a little higher up was fantastic. The bus was just the right size and comfortable. I was surprised to see many foreign visitors overall. The tour guide and interpreter were polite and pleasant. However, I felt that there were fewer explanations about local anecdotes and history compared to guided tours in other countries, which was a bit disappointing. Since the bus ride was nearly four hours long, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if there had been a bit more storytelling. One disappointment was the washi paper-making experience in Ainokura. I wanted to try it, but it seemed that only one person could participate at a time, and while I was waiting, someone who had made a reservation arrived, and they didn't seem too pleased about walk-ins, so I gave up. The price was reasonable, and overall, I was satisfied.

白川郷は観光客が多く、ちょっと興ざめなところもありましたが、一番奥の民家園は静かでゆっくり楽しめました。五箇山はとても静かで少し登ったところから撮った白山を背景にした相倉の写真は最高でした。バスもちょうどよい大きさで快適。全般に外国人の方が多かったのに驚きました。添乗員さんも通訳の方も礼儀正しく感じの良い方たちでした。ただ他の国のガイド付きツアーに比べると地域の逸話や歴史などの説明が少なかったのが残念に感じました。バスに乗っている時間が４時間近くあるので、もう少しお話しして頂けたらさらに楽しかったと思います。一つ残念だったのは相倉での和紙作りの体験。やってみたくて行ったのですが、一人ずつしかできないようで、私が待っている間に予約したという方が見えて飛び込みはあまり良い顔をされなかったようなので諦めました。料金はリーズナブルで全般的に見て満足です。

The participants were mostly foreign guests, and the tour guide primarily provided information in English, but it was easy to understand even for someone like me who struggles with English. (There was also guidance in Japanese, but it seemed challenging to provide information in two languages.) The weather was nice, and I was able to take great photos. Using public transportation for sightseeing is cost-effective but can be very tiring. I've been to Kyoto countless times in the past, but it was helpful to have transportation that took us to our destination. I would like to participate in a different course next time.

参加日は外国からの客が大半で、ツアーガイドさんも英語での案内がメインでしたが、英語が苦手な私でも聞きとれる易しい英語で助かりました（日本語での案内もありましたが、２ヶ国語での案内は大変そうでした）天気もよく、いい写真が撮れました。公共交通機関を使っての観光は安上がりですが、非常に疲れるので、京都には過去、数えきれないほど来てますが、目的地まで運んでくれるので助かりました。また、別コースで参加してみたいです。

On Saturday, March 25th, I participated in a Shirakawa-go tour. Since it takes about 80 minutes from Kanazawa Station, I decided to take this opportunity to extend my trip. I felt that it was quite popular among foreigners, with participants from Canada, Denmark, Italy, and other countries, especially since it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The guide's fluent English made the tour enjoyable and relaxed, filled with laughter. Thanks to the veteran guide's clear and fun explanations, as well as the safe driving of the driver, I was able to spend a comfortable time in the vehicle.

In Shirakawa-go, we had plenty of free time, so I took many photos of the entire village from the Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observation Deck. The guide also pointed out popular photo spots often featured in posters, allowing me to capture some great pictures. The grilled miso on magnolia leaves was fragrant and delicious (I was a bit worried if the portion was sufficient for the foreigners...).

I learned that in the gassho-zukuri style, many villagers work together to replace the thick thatched roofs. I also realized the difficulty of preserving the gassho-zukuri landscape, as there are still abandoned houses in the village.

Thank you to White Ring for organizing such a meaningful tour. The senbei-making experience along the way was also fun.

3月25日土曜日に白川郷ツアーに参加しました。金沢駅から約80分で行けるということで､せっかくの機会なので足を伸ばす事にしました。カナダ､デンマーク､イタリアなどからの参加があり世界遺産ということもあり外国の方にもかなり人気なのだと感じました。
添乗員さんの流暢な英語での案内に笑いがありとても和やかでした。ベテランの添乗員さんの分かりやすく楽しい説明､安全運転の運転手さんのお陰で安心して車中を過ごすことが出来ました。
白川郷では十分に自由時間をとっていただいたので荻町城跡展望台からの集落全体の景観に何度シャッターを切りました。またポスターによく使われる写真のスポットも教えていただき､いい写真が撮れました。朴葉味噌焼きは香ばしく美味しかったです（外国の方には量が充分だったか少し心配になりました…）。
合掌造では分厚い茅葺の屋根を多くの村人で協力し合って吹き替える事などを知りました。集落には廃屋がそのままになっているところもあり合掌造りの景観を今後も守っていくことの大変さを痛感しました。

有意義なツアーを企画してくださったホワイトリングさんありがとうございました。
途中のせんべい焼き体験も楽しかったです。

It has been about two years since our golden wedding anniversary, and I participated in your tour as a reward for my wife, who has endured hardships while I am still in good health. Being born in the Showa era, I hesitated to join alongside people from other countries when applying, but thanks to the skillful explanations from the tour conductor, I was able to participate with peace of mind. There were some delays in the itinerary, leading to several waiting times, but the kind and thorough communication made it feel less uncomfortable. My wife and I, being the oldest participants, made every effort to walk without causing any inconvenience to the other participants. I recommend that elderly individuals planning to join future tours "train their legs and back" before participating. I joined with confidence from my experience as a regional soccer referee, but unfortunately, I developed a "mild Achilles tendonitis." The reason I couldn't achieve the highest score was due to my own shortcomings.

Thanks to the skillful handling of the LIMON conductor and driver, I was able to travel safely and securely. I express my heartfelt gratitude along with my joy. "Thank you very much."

March 28, 2023, Bus 101, it was the best!!

金婚式には２年ほどありましたが、身体が丈夫な内に苦労を掛けた妻のご褒美に本人の希望で御社のツアーに参加させていただきました。昭和生まれのため
申込みの際、他国の人達との同行に躊躇もありましたが、ツアーコンダクターの方の巧みな説明に安心して参加できました。行程の遅れなども有り待ち時間が何度かありましたが、親切丁寧に伝えて頂けたので、それほど違和感はありませんでした。私たち夫婦が最高齢と参加者の皆様にご迷惑にならないように懸命に歩を運びました。今後、参加を予定している高齢者の皆さんツアー参加には「足腰を鍛えて」参加されることをお薦めします。サッカー地域審判員の経験から自信を持って参加しましたが「軽いアキレス腱炎」を発症してしまいました。最高何度を付けられなかった理由は私の不徳の為です。
LIMONのコンダクター様ドライバー様の巧みなハンドル捌きで安心安全に旅をさせて頂きました。
喜びと共に心より感謝申し上げます。「ありがとうございました」
2023年3月28日　バス101　最高でした！！
