I participated in the tour for the first time. I went in September, and although there was still some summer heat, I was moved by the retro streets of Takayama and the beautiful scenery of Shirakawa-go. There were plenty of delicious foods to enjoy while walking around. It was a two-hour stroll, but I was able to fully enjoy it.
There were many people from Asia, including China and Korea, and the bus was full. The tour guide was fluent in both Chinese and Japanese. They were friendly and very easy to talk to. The explanations were thorough, and they also recommended some great places to eat. The atmosphere on the bus was calm, making for a very comfortable tour.
初めてツアーに参加させていただきました。9月に行き、残暑がありましたが、飛騨高山ではレトロな街並み、白川郷では、古き良き景色に感動しました。食べ歩きも美味しいものがたくさんで楽しめました。2時間の散策でしたが十分に満喫できました。
中国や韓国などアジア系の方々が多く、満席でした。ツアーガイドさんは、中国語と日本語ができる方でした。気さくでとても喋りやすかったです。説明も丁寧でおすすめのお店なども教えてくださりました。バス内も落ち着いた雰囲気で、とても快適なツアーでした。

We were the only Japanese people, but the young tour guide and driver were both Chinese and very pleasant. They were able to converse in Japanese as well.
Perhaps because it was a weekday, the roads were clear, and we were able to progress smoothly and enjoyably as planned. The kamado pudding was delicious. I would like to visit Hokkaido again with Veltra.
日本人は私達だけでしたが、若い添乗員さんも運転手さんも中国人でとても感じの良い方でした。日本語の会話もできました。
平日のためか、道も空いていたし割とスイスイ進み予定通り楽しく過ごせました。かまどプリンが美味しかったです。また、ベルトラで北海道に行きたいです。

You can see Tokyo Tower from the bottom to the top, and the view from the Shuto Expressway to the Rainbow Bridge feels like riding a roller coaster—it's exhilarating! It was a fun bus ride, feeling the wind on my body.

Since the stay in Takayama coincides with lunchtime, if you have a meal, the sightseeing time becomes limited, and you end up running out of time after a quick tour of the main street. I felt that if you want to secure sightseeing time, you need to forgo lunch. I thought next time I would like to stay overnight and enjoy it more leisurely.
As for the stay in Shirakawa-go, I think it was almost sufficient unless you extend your visit to the observation deck.
In any case, I feel it's a "must-see at least once" kind of place, and if you like it, it’s a good trial for a future leisurely visit in terms of cost.
About 90% of the participants were foreigners, and the tour guide was a young Chinese person, but they did a great job, and I had no worries at all.
高山での滞在が昼食時間と重なるので食事をすると、観光の時間が少なくなり、主な通りを一周して時間切れとなります。見所は多いと思いますので観光時間を確保したい場合は昼食は取らないと割切る必要があると感じました。次回は宿泊してゆっくり楽しみたいと感じました。
白川郷の滞在は展望台まで足を伸ばさなければ、ほぼ十分かと思いました。
いずれにせよ、「一度は行って見るべし」的な感じで、気に入れば再度ゆっくり行くためのお試しには費用的にも良いかと思います。
参加者は9割?が外国人の方で、添乗員さんも若い中国の方でしたが、しっかりやって頂いて全く不安もありませんでした。

I wanted to do some sightseeing the day after the concert, so I searched for various tours and found this one. I understood from the beginning that it was a tour for international travelers, so I decided to join.
The tour guide explained the tour in English and Chinese to the group, and since we were the only Japanese participants, they kindly provided detailed explanations in Japanese, which made us feel at ease and enjoy the experience.
Although it rained on and off due to the typhoon, we were able to enjoy a very magical atmosphere.
On the way back, there was heavy traffic due to an accident and the holiday rush, but thanks to the driver's safe driving, we arrived at the drop-off point on schedule. This allowed us to have a delicious dinner before boarding the Shinkansen.
If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to participate.
ライブの翌日に観光したくて色々検索していてこちらのツアーを見つけ、最初から海外の方向けのツアーと理解して参加させて頂きました。
添乗員さんは英語、中国語で参加グループの方にツアーの説明された後、日本人参加者が私達だけだったので個別で日本語で丁寧に説明してくれて安心して楽しめました。
台風の影響で雨が降ったりやんだりでしたが、とても幻想的な雰囲気も楽しめました。
帰路の高速道路では事故渋滞や連休での移動車が多くて渋滞していましたがドライバーさんも安全運転で予定通り解散場所まで送り届けて頂いたおかげで新幹線に乗る前にしっかりと美味しい晩御飯食べる事も出来ました♪
また機会があれば是非参加させて頂きます。

Number of people: The large bus was almost full.
Time: There were many tour companies gathered at the meeting place. It was helpful that there was a photo of the flag attached to the itinerary. Additionally, the schedule included information about the departure time, and the bus guide provided updates on the timing as we went along, which was great. We planned to visit two locations for two hours each, so we had enough time to enjoy ourselves.
Impressions: Almost everyone else was Chinese, and the announcements were made in Chinese by the guide. At first, I was very anxious, but when I mentioned that I was Japanese, the guide kindly explained recommended places in Japanese while distributing maps, which made me feel more at ease as the tour progressed. Since there were only two locations on this tour, that might have been a good thing. I learned that it can be challenging to follow a tour in an unfamiliar language when visiting many places.
I also realized the importance of knowing which members will be on the tour, as we had to wait for those who were late at the meeting time. Although there was a significant delay at first, we departed almost on schedule afterward, which was good.
人数:大型バスがほぼ満席状態の人数でした。
時間:集合場所には沢山のツアー会社が集まっています。旗の写真を日程表に貼ってあったので、助かりました。また、事前に何時に出発をするのかなど工程表に記載があり、細かい時間に関してはその都度バスガイドさんから言っていただけるので良かったです。2箇所を2時間ずつ回る予定でしたので、時間にゆとりがあり楽しめました。
感想:私達以外はほぼ中国人でアナウンスはガイドさんが中国語で行っており、最初はすごく不安でしたが、日本人ということを話すと、地図などを配る際におすすめの場所などを日本語で説明してくださり、途中からは不安なく過ごせました。今回はツアーで周るところは2箇所でしたので、それも良かったのかもしれないです。たくさんの場所を周るツアーで知らない言語の解説は厳しいと勉強になりました。
集合時間になってもツアーメンバーが現れない人がいると待たないといけないので、どのメンバーでツアーに回るのかも重要だなと勉強になりました。最初こそ大幅に遅れが発生しましたが、その後はほぼ予定時刻での出発でしたので良かったです。

Visiting the Aso crater is not possible by large bus, so you have to walk quite a distance. This time, we were able to go all the way up, and since the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, there was no distinctive odor, allowing us to focus on taking photos. It also depends on the weather, but I believe that, along with that, is part of the charm of traveling, and it made me feel like the experience was elevated to a whole new level.
阿蘇の火口見学は、大型バスだと上まで行けず、かなりの距離徒歩になるとか。

The one-day tour this time was truly wonderful. We enjoyed delicious beef in Takayama and saw old buildings. After that, we headed to the UNESCO World Heritage site Shirakawa-go. We had two hours there. At first, I thought it might not be enough time, but surprisingly, we managed to see everything. I believe the scenery changes with the seasons, so we chose to go in the summer this time. It felt like entering a dream world. I had so much fun. The driver was also very experienced, and since it was a three-day weekend, we returned without much traffic. The Chinese staff were very kind as well. Thank you very much. I'm considering going again in the fall and winter.

It was my first time in Kumamoto and Miyazaki. Since you walk around the shrine and Takachiho Gorge, I think it's manageable for those with good stamina. In Kumamoto, there’s a free soft serve ice cream giveaway on the way back from Amano Iwato Shrine. You can choose either mango flavor or a mango & vanilla mix. Such participation perks are really appreciated.
Although it rained in Miyazaki, Takachiho Gorge was beautiful and offered a mystical experience.

This was my first time participating. There were only three of us Japanese, and the remaining 20 to 30 people were Chinese and Korean. The tour guide was a Chinese student working part-time, and they could speak a little Japanese. However, the guide mostly slept in the vehicle and didn't explain the scenery around us, only providing the minimum necessary information about meeting times and arrival times!
To make matters worse, some passengers didn't keep to the schedule! A particular couple was repeatedly late, which prevented us from departing on time... I'm not sure if the guide said anything to them... It was disappointing because the sightseeing should have been enjoyable. However, it was still good that the second person was free.

First of all, the bus seats are spacious and have a luxurious feel, which is great. Basically, this tour is aimed at overseas visitors (most likely almost all Chinese), so explanations and commentary are provided in Chinese.

Sometimes, she pointed out highlights and even reserved seats for us at the break spots. Because of that, I thought participating alone as a Japanese person wasn't bad at all. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity. It was a very enjoyable time.

Both Shirakawa-go and Takayama had a walking time of two hours, and I was initially worried about whether we would have enough time to see everything, but we were able to explore thoroughly. In fact, the time limit allowed us to be more efficient in our sightseeing. Additionally, we arrived in Takayama before noon, which meant we could participate in the morning tour, and I appreciated that consideration.

On a tour for foreign tourists, everyone except for one other group was from abroad. The guide was wonderful and introduced us to recommended local gourmet foods and sightseeing spots in Japanese, which made the experience enjoyable.
The announcements on the bus were in Chinese, English, and Japanese, and it was refreshing and interesting to hear the rules for visiting shrines and highlights of each location in both Chinese and English.
After asking about the meeting time and place, we had about an hour of free time upon arrival, allowing us to explore efficiently. Since the itinerary was packed with sightseeing spots, we couldn't take a long lunch, so I took the guide's recommendation of a Miyazaki beef hot dog (delicious) to go and ate it on the bus. If the weather had been nice, it might have been nice to eat it on a bench at Takachiho Gorge. The mango soft serve included in the tour was also exquisite.
Unfortunately, Takachiho Gorge was brown due to rain the previous day, but I heard it is usually emerald green. I plan to return for a second chance someday.
Although it was a long-distance trip, there were appropriate restroom breaks, and the scenery from the car windows around Aso was beautiful, making the journey feel quicker than I expected. We had to walk quite a bit from the bus parking lot to the attractions, but I think it was good exercise.
It was a place that is not easy to reach on your own, so I was very satisfied to be able to visit 3 to 4 spots in a day. Thank you very much.

観光スポットをギュッと詰め込んでいる分、お昼はあまりゆっくりできないので、ガイドさんオススメの宮崎牛ホットドッグ(バリうま)をテイクアウトしてバスの車内で食べました。※季節が良ければ高千穂峡のベンチで食べてもよかったかも。ツアーに含まれるマンゴーソフトも絶品でした。
高千穂峡は残念ながら前日の雨の影響で川が茶色かったのですが、普段はエメラルドグリーンだそうです。いつかまたリベンジしようと思います。
長距離移動ですがトイレ休憩も適宜あり、阿蘇周辺からは車窓からの景色がキレイだったので思っていたよりあっという間でした。バスの駐車場から名所までわりと歩きますが、良い運動になったと思います。

I never expected to walk so much uphill, so I ended up with sore muscles; it was a good workout. The Chinese tour guide was very pleasant. I'm going to Fukuoka again next month, so I will sign up for a tour of Dazaifu Tenmangu.
まさか、こんなに坂道を歩くとは思わなかったので筋肉痛で、良い運動になりました
中国人の添乗員さんはとても感じの良い方でした。来月また、福岡に行くので太宰府天満宮のツアーを申し込みます

I believe the experience was worth more than the price. I knew it was a tour aimed at foreigners (with many foreign guests), and there were no latecomers or noisy individuals, so it was very comfortable. The driver was safe, and the guide provided explanations in multiple languages. I would like to use this service again.
金額以上に価値のある内容だと思います。
外国人向け(外国人利用客が多い)のツアーと分かっていましたし、遅刻や騒がしいなどそういった方もいなかったのでとても快適でした。
安全運転なドライバーさんに複数の言語で説明してくれるガイドさん。
また利用したいと思います。

I was able to book a tour I had wanted to go on while traveling alone in Kanazawa. Thank you to Mr. Kuroda and the driver for a fun and safe tour. It was great to look at the map while listening to Mr. Kuroda's guidance in the car, and once we arrived, I could freely explore on my own. There were also foreign participants, and I was very interested in Mr. Kuroda's English conversation. He was kind, humorous, and wonderful. Although my English is not very good, I was able to talk with everyone, which was a great learning experience. The foreign participants also said they had fun, which made me happy. The summer visit to Shirakawa-go was nice (it was hot!), but I would like to go again in the snowy season next time.
金沢に一人旅をしたついでに以前から行きたかったツアーに予約することができました。黒田さんと運転手さん、楽しく安全なツアーをありがとうございました。車内で黒田さんのご案内を聞きながら地図を見て、着いてしまえば一人で自由に行動できるのでよかったです。外国人の方も参加されていて私は黒田さんの英会話に興味津々で聞いておりました。優しくてユーモアがあって素敵でした。私も拙い英語力ですがみなさまとお話することができて勉強になりました。外国人の方も楽しかったと言っておられて私も嬉しかったです。夏の白川郷も良かったですが(暑かった!)次回は雪の季節に行きたいです。
Dear KM,
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. It was a hot day with a maximum temperature of 33 degrees. Traveling alone has its own charm as it allows for freedom of movement. I believe exchanging information with others on the same tour is also enjoyable. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the tour.
Please come and see the snowy Shirakawa-go. We are looking forward to your visit.
Best regards,
Kuroda, White Ring
KM様
先日は弊社ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
この日も最高気温が33度で暑い日でしたね。一人旅は自由に行動ができるという醍醐味ありますね。同じツアーに参加されてる方々との情報交換も楽しいと思います。ツアーを楽しんでいただき大変うれしく思います。
ぜひ、雪の白川郷を観に来て下さいませ。お待ちしています。

I had never been to Takayama or Shirakawa-go, and I wanted to visit both, so I found this tour. The stay at both locations was about two hours each, totaling four hours, which wasn't enough time to explore thoroughly, but after seeing reviews from others, I felt I could enjoy the atmosphere, so I signed up. As a first-time experience, I was quite satisfied.
It was easy and comfortable to just take a bus from Nagoya Station. Most of the participants were foreigners, but this is common at tourist spots these days, so I wasn't particularly surprised, and it didn't make for an unpleasant experience; I was comfortable throughout. However, since it can be a matter of luck who you end up with on such tours, I think a somewhat tolerant mindset is necessary.
There isn't much time after arriving at the destinations, so I did some research beforehand.
◆ In Shirakawa-go, I had a "suttate" hot pot. The exquisite balance of miso and soy sauce, along with the compatibility with Hida beef and vegetables, was outstanding, and I really enjoyed it! After that, I also indulged in water pudding. I waited about five minutes in line with around ten people ahead of me, but when I passed by the shop later, the line had grown three to four times longer, so I think it's best to line up without hesitation if it's not crowded. I thought it would be tough to climb the hill to the observation deck in the heat, so I took the bus, and walked down for about ten minutes. The walking path had shade from trees, so I wasn't exposed to the sun much. Occasionally, the water flowing from the slope by the road was clean, cold, and refreshing. The bus stop is near Wada House. I arrived at the bus stop just one minute before departure and managed to get on, but it was nearly full. I think it's safer to arrive about ten minutes before departure. If you search "Shirakawa-go Bus Observation Deck" online, you can find the official schedule. Buses generally depart at 00, 20, and 40 minutes past the hour, but I recommend checking in advance. The fare is 200 yen, and you can exchange money on the bus. Since it's just a little over a ten-minute walk, if the bus schedule doesn't match and walking up isn't a burden, that could also be a good option. I also toured inside Wada House. The admission fee was 400 yen per person, cash only.
◆ After that, it was time to gather, and we boarded the bus, arriving in Takayama around 2 PM after about an hour. We had steak and sukiyaki at a restaurant called Aji no Yohei. It was a very nice place. Many restaurants seem to close around 2 PM for lunch, so it's good to do some research on that as well. Afterward, we strolled around the town, sampling Hida beef croquettes and Hida beef sushi.
Overall, I enjoyed the scenery, the town, and the gourmet food, making it a very satisfying tour!
高山と白川郷に行ったことがなく、両方とも回りたいと思っていたところこのツアーを見つけました。2箇所とも2時間ずつ計4時間ほどの滞在で、じっくり回れるほどの時間ではありませんでしたが、他の方々の口コミを見て、一通り雰囲気は味わって楽しめそうでしたので、申し込みました。結果、初回体験としては十分な満足度でした。
名古屋駅からバスに乗るだけで連れて行ってもらえるので、予想通り楽&快適でした。参加者は外国人がほとんどですが、この状況は昨今どの観光地でも同じなので特に驚きはありませんでしたし、そのせいで特に嫌な思いをすることもなく、最後まで快適でした。まぁどんな方々と一緒になるかは運次第のところもあるでしょうから、こういったツアーで活動を共にするなら、幾分寛容な心構えは必要と思います。
目的地到着後はあまり時間がありませんので、事前に調べて臨みました。
◆白川郷ではすったて鍋を食べました。味噌と醤油の絶妙な味、そして飛騨牛や野菜などとの相性は抜群で、かなり気に入りました!
その後は水プリンも堪能しました。私は10人待ちぐらいで5分ほど並んで買いましたが、後に店の前を通ると行列が3~4倍ほどになっていましたので、空いてるなら迷わずに並ぶのが良いと思いました。
展望台へは、暑い中、坂道を登るのは大変と思いバスで行き、帰りは徒歩10分ほどで下りてきました。徒歩の道には木陰が続き、そこまで日差しを受けることはありませんでした。時々道路脇の斜面から側溝に流れてきている水は綺麗で冷たくて気持ち良かったです。
バス停は和田家のそばにあります。バス停には出発直前1分前に着いて、乗れましたが定員ギリギリでした。出発の10分前ぐらい前に着いておくのが安全と思いました。「白川郷 バス 展望台」でネット検索すると公式ページの運行ダイヤが出てきます。大体毎時間00分,20分,40分に出発となっていますが、事前確認をお勧めします。料金は200円、車内両替可能でした。徒歩10分ちょっとなので、バスの時間が合わず、歩いて登るのが苦にならないなら、それも良いと思います。
和田家の中も見学しました。見学料は一人400円、現金のみ対応でした。
◆その後集合時間になりバスに乗り込み、1時間ほどで高山に14時ごろ到着。
味の与平というお店で、ステーキ御前とすき焼き御膳を2人でいただきました。とても雰囲気の良いお店でした。昼の部は14時に閉まるお店も多そうなので、これも下調べしておくのが良いです。その後、街を散策しながら飛騨牛コロッケや飛騨牛握り寿司などを食べ歩きました。
こうして、景色、街並み、グルメなど楽しめて、とても満足のいくツアーでした!

We found out that we could take a day trip to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa Station, so we participated as a family. The bus was comfortable, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable, providing recommendations for shops and souvenirs. Since we didn't have a guidebook, the distributed map was very helpful. The lunch was delicious, and my elementary school daughter finished everything. It was really hot, and the iced coffee we had at a café while looking at the gassho-zukuri houses was truly delicious. Next, I want to see the winter scenery of Shirakawa-go.
金沢駅から日帰りで白川郷に行けると分かり家族で参加しました。バスは快適でガイドさんの案内も楽しくおすすめのお店やお土産を教えていただきました。ガイドブックは持っていなかったのでマップが配られて助かりました。お昼ご飯も美味しくて小学生の娘も完食しました。とっても暑くて途中カフェで合掌造りの家々を見ながら飲んだアイスコーヒーは本当に美味しかったです。次は冬の白川郷の景色が見たいです。
Dear Hiro,
I am very glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed the "First Visit to Shirakawa-go."
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. I am very happy to hear that you visited the places we guided you to. I hope this tour became a wonderful memory for your children during their summer vacation. Please do visit Shirakawa-go in the snow next time.
Sincerely,

We participated with two Japanese people! The guide was very kind and recommended great places and shops in both Takayama and Shirakawa-go. We had plenty of time and were able to fully enjoy both locations. In Takayama, we had the guide's recommended Hida beef hitsumabushi. It was very delicious and a great value!!!! The announcements on the bus were in English, Japanese, and Chinese, which served as a good listening practice for foreign languages! I especially recommend this for those who want to study languages!!
日本人2人で参加しました!
ガイドさんがとても優しくて、高山、白川郷共におすすめの場所やお店を教えてくださいました。時間はゆとりがあり、両方ともしっかり楽しむことが出来ました。
高山ではガイドさんおすすめの飛騨牛ひつまぶしをいただきました。コスパ良しでとっても美味しかったです!!!!
バス内でのアナウンスが英語、日本語、中国語だったため、外国語のリスニング練習になりました!言語を勉強したい人には特にオススメです!!
