All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

The bus tour makes travel easy. You can sleep on the bus. Each sightseeing stop is two hours, which is sufficient. I also had Takayama ramen. I bought dango and senbei and strolled around while eating. Shirakawa-go is cold, so warm clothing is recommended from now on. The path to the observation deck has a slope, so comfortable shoes are a must. Definitely try to climb to the top. There's no worry about parking, so the bus tour is enjoyable. We returned to Nagoya Station before 7 PM, so we were able to enjoy Nagoya cuisine from there as well.

バスツアーなので移動が楽です。バスの中で寝ていられます。それぞれ２時間の観光時間ですが十分です。高山ラーメンも食べました。だんごとせんべい買って歩きながら散策しました。白川郷は寒いのでこれからは暖かい格好がオススメです。展望台までの道は勾配があって、歩きやすい靴が必須です。ぜひ上まで登ってみてください。駐車場の心配もないのでバスツアーは楽ですね。名古屋駅に19時前に戻ったのでそこから名古屋飯も食べられました。

Initially, we had planned a bus tour departing from Kumamoto Station. Due to unstable weather, we were keeping an eye on availability, but when we tried to book, there was only one spot left, which meant we couldn't sign up as a group of three. Just when I was feeling disappointed, I found out there was a bus tour to Takachiho Gorge departing from Fukuoka. We were scheduled to move to Fukuoka the next day, so we rearranged our itinerary and managed to book a spot without any issues.

Both the Kumamoto and Fukuoka tours seemed to have the same dining options, but the Kumamoto tour only visited Takachiho Gorge and Takachiho Shrine, spending over three hours at the gorge. In contrast, the Fukuoka tour included not only Takachiho Gorge and Takachiho Shrine but also Amano Iwato Shrine, which turned out to be more beneficial for us. The price was 9,800 yen for the Kumamoto tour and 11,000 yen for the Fukuoka tour, which wasn't a significant difference.

What was even more fortunate was that due to the one-day shift, while it was rainy if we had gone from Kumamoto, the weather for the Fukuoka tour was clear and sunny.

The Fukuoka tour gathered in front of a Lawson convenience store on the Chikushi exit side of Hakata Station. I was able to spot the guide holding an "EasyGo" flag right away. I had prepared myself for a large number of Chinese tourists based on reviews, and indeed, a significant portion of the participants were from China. The guide spoke broken Japanese but seemed to manage. The itinerary involved traveling from Hakata down the Kyushu Expressway to Takachiho Gorge from Kumamoto City, which felt strange for me since I had considered the Kumamoto departure.

First, we visited Takachiho Shrine and then headed to Takachiho Gorge. The gorge was more impressive than I had imagined. We walked along a trail with ups and downs to reach Chiho no Ie for lunch. I was a bit worried since one of my companions had difficulty walking.

At Chiho no Ie, we were treated to what I believe was a Takachiho beef set meal. We were also served local sake, which we could refill.

After lunch, we took a shuttle bus to the parking area and headed to Amano Iwato Shrine. It’s quite a walk from where the bus is parked, so those with mobility issues should be cautious.

We returned to Hakata around 6 PM, and even though it was October, it was still bright outside.

Visiting Takachiho Gorge allowed us to experience magnificent nature, and it was more enjoyable than expected. Amano Iwato Shrine also has a reputation as a spiritual spot, and you can feel something there. Most tourists seemed to be foreigners, with many coming from China, along with some Western tourists. It made me wonder why such a place of Japanese mythology attracted them.

Despite being a great tourist spot, the low ratings were likely due to the guide primarily explaining in Chinese, with only a small amount of information provided in Japanese. For example, if there were 30 minutes of explanation in Chinese, there were only about 5 minutes in Japanese. Since my companion could speak Mandarin and Cantonese, they explained what was being said in Chinese, but important information such as restroom details and places inaccessible due to typhoons were not provided in Japanese. Even travelers who have given decent reviews might change their opinions if they knew what was communicated in Chinese versus Japanese.

It states, "A staff member who can communicate in Japanese, Chinese, or English will accompany you. However, please understand that we will provide guidance in a trilingual manner, so it may not always be in a native language." and "This tour is primarily designed for overseas guests, so the guidance language will mainly be for international visitors. Important notifications such as meeting times will also be provided in Japanese." However, since they are recruiting in Japanese, such an approach should not be acceptable. Even if they prepared a recorded Japanese announcement, t

当初は熊本駅発のバスツアーを計画していました。天候が不安定で、空き状況をにらみながらだったのですが、いざ申し込んでみたら空いていた枠が1つしかなく、3人では申し込めませんでした。残念だなぁと思っていたら、福岡発の高千穂峡バスツアーがあることがわかりました。私たちは次の日に福岡に移動することになっていたのです。福岡から行ってみようかと日程を組みなおして申し込んでみたら大丈夫でした。

熊本発も福岡発も食事する場所と内容は同じようでしたが、熊本発は高千穂峡と高千穂神社にしか行かず、高千穂峡で3時間以上過ごすことになっていましたが、福岡発は高千穂峡と高千穂神社以外にも天岩戸神社にも行くことになっていて、かえって私たちにはありがたかったと言っていいでしょう。金額的には熊本発が9800円なのに対して福岡発が1万1000円でそれほど変わりませんでした。

それともっとありがたかったのは、1日ずれたおかげで、熊本から行っていたら雨だった天気が、福岡発は快晴でした。

福岡発は博多駅筑紫口側にあるローソンの前で集合です。「EasyGo」の旗を持ったガイドさんはすぐに見つけることができました。体験談を読んで中国人客がおおいだろうと覚悟はしていましたが、かなりの割合で中国の方が参加されています。ガイドさんは片言ですが、日本語が話せるようです。行程は、博多から九州縦貫自動車道を下って熊本市内から高千穂峡へと向かったようです。熊本発を検討していた身としては不思議な気持ちです。

まずは高千穂神社をお参りし、高千穂峡へと向かい。高千穂峡は想像していた以上に迫力がありました。昼食をとる千穂の家まではアップダウンのある散策路を行きます。足の悪い同行者がいたため、心配ではありました。

千穂の家でごちそうになったのは、たぶん高千穂牛定食に相当するものではないかと思います。地元のお酒もサービスでいただくことができました。お酒はおかわりもできました。

昼食後はシャトルバスでバスの駐車してある場所に移動し、天岩戸神社に向かいます。バスが駐車した場所からけっこう歩くので、足の不自由な人は気をつけましょう。

博多に帰ってきたのは午後6時過ぎで、（10月でしたが）まだ明るい時間でした。

高千穂峡は行ってみると雄大な自然を感じさせる場所で、予想以上に楽しめます。天岩戸神社も心霊スポットらしくなにかを感じさせられます。観光客のほとんどが外国の方のようで、多くは中国からの観光客のようでした。そして白人系インバウンド。日本の神話の場所になぜに？　と思わせます。

いい観光スポットなのに星の数が少ないのは、ガイドさんの説明のほとんどが中国語で、ほんのわずか日本語の説明で分量がまったく異なっていたからです。たとえば30分中国語なら5分程度が日本語です。同行者が普通語と広東語がしゃべれるため、中国語でなにを言っているか説明してくれましたが、トイレに関することや台風によって行けない場所があるなど重要な情報も日本語では提供されていませんでした。日本人の旅行者で悪くない評価をされている方も、実際に中国語でなにが語られ、日本語でなにが語られていなかったかを知れば評価が変わるでしょう。

「日本語、中国語または英語対応ができる係員が同行します。ただし、トリリンガルで案内しますので、必ずしもネイティブな言語でのご案内はできませんので、予めご了承ください。」「本ツアーは海外の方向けのプランのため、ご案内言語は主に海外向けとなっております。集合時間等の重要なご連絡は日本語でもご案内いたします。」とありますが、日本語でこうして募集している以上そんな対応ですまされるはずはありません。かりに録音済みの日本語アナウンスを用意してでも、中国語と同等の情報を日本語で提供すべきです。それができないようなら、中国語のみで募集すべきです。

I think the only participants from Japan were the bus driver and myself. Thank you for providing a Japanese guide after the English one.
I see Mount Fuji from Gotemba every day, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it from the Yamanashi side due to the fog. However, the autumn leaves were beautiful.
It was a day spent in an extraordinary way.

参加した日本人は、バス運転手と私一人だったと思います。英語のあとにわざわざ日本語ガイドして頂き、ありがとうございました。
毎日御殿場富士を見ている私ですが…あいにく山梨側からの富士山は、霧で見られなかったです。が、紅葉が綺麗でした。
非日常を過ごせた一日でした。

For our first couple's trip, we chose Kyoto. We imagined it would be about food tours and shrines, but my husband suggested, "How about river rafting?" I thought, "River rafting, huh? I can't really imagine that," but I made a reservation thinking it would be a memorable experience. To sum it up, it was amazing! I want to do it again! That said, maybe we just had a great boat. We were in a group of three, and they rowed and steered the boat for us. Their skills were impressive, and for about two hours, they entertained us with wonderful stories and also shared the history of Kyoto. Next time we visit, I definitely want to ride again. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

初めての夫婦旅行で、京都を選択しました。
イメージとしては食べ歩き、神社、、、
とイメージだったのですが旦那がふと
川下りはどう？と提案してくれ、
川下りかぁ、、想像出来ないなぁと思いながら記念になるかーと予約。
結論から言って最高でした。。
もう一度乗りたいくらい！！！！
とはいっても私達の船が当たりだったのかもしれません。
３人1組で船を漕いで運転してくれます。
技術も素晴らしいですし、何より約この２時間。素晴らしいトークで笑かしてくれて、それに加え京都の歴史なども教えてくれます。
次も訪れた時には必ずまた搭乗したいと思います。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

A bus tour with two hours of free time in Hida Takayama and two hours in Shirakawa-go.
There were three groups of Japanese people, including us, and the rest were foreigners.
The tour guide was from China and explained in Chinese, but provided detailed explanations individually for the Japanese participants.
Although it wasn't the snowy season in Shirakawa-go, the view from the observation deck was breathtaking.
We couldn't visit the morning market in front of the Jinya due to the Takayama Festival overlapping, but we enjoyed the festival, making it a wonderful memory.
I would definitely like to participate again.

飛騨高山2時間、白川郷2時間自由行動のバスツアー。
日本人は私達含め3組、あとは外国の方でした。
添乗員さんは中国の方で中国語で説明していましたが日本人には個別で丁寧に説明していただけました。
白川郷は雪のシーズンではなかったですが展望台からみた景色は絶景でした。
高山祭が重なってしまい陣屋前朝市には行けませんでしたが祭りも味わえて、とてもいい思い出になりました。
またぜひ参加させていただきたいです。

I participated in the trip alone, but I became friends with the person sitting next to me on the bus, and I had a great time.
The weather was a bit rainy, but it made the scenery even more mystical.
I was able to take some really good photos at the places the guide showed us!

ひとり旅での参加でしたが、バスで隣の席の方と仲良くなり、楽しく過ごさせて頂きました
雨まじりのお天気でしたが、より一層神秘的な景色になっていました^_^
ガイドさんが教えてくれた場所で、とても良い写真がとれました！

I have always wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, which I often see on TV. This time, when planning a trip to Hokuriku with my two close friends, I found and signed up for a day trip bus tour with Veltra. On the day of the tour, we were blessed with good weather and were captivated by the rich nature, the charming old houses, and the nostalgic scenery, spending a wonderful time. The lunch at the traditional farmhouse was also delicious. The bus driver and the guide were kind and great. I definitely want to go again.

いつもテレビで見ている白川郷。一度は行ってみたいと思っていた。今回、仲良し3人での北陸旅行の計画の時点で、ベルトラの日帰りバスツアーを見つけ、申し込んだ。当日は、天気に恵まれ、自然豊かな場所、古き良き家並、昔懐かしい景色に魅了され、楽しい時間を過ごした。古民家での昼食も美味しかった。バスの運転手、ガイドさんも優しく良かった。是非、もう一度行きたい。

The guide spoke mostly in Chinese and only mentioned the meeting time and place in Japanese. I was looking forward to explanations in English, but there were none, which was disappointing. The driving of the microbus was rough and scary. I felt that the tour price was high, especially since the entrance fee and meal costs were not included.

ガイドは、ずっと中国語を話し、日本語では集合時間と集合場所を言うぐらいでした。英語ての説明を楽しみにしたのに、それは一切なく、残念でした。
マイクロバスの運転も荒つぼく、怖かったです。
拝観料、食事代も含まれず、ツアー代は高いと感じました。

I had wanted to visit the Takachiho tour for a long time. I was the only Japanese person on the tour, but it felt like I was on an overseas tour while still in Japan, which was enjoyable. The guide was very attentive, making sure I had a great time without any worries throughout the day.

However, the tour was supposed to end at 6 PM, but due to traffic congestion, we returned after 7 PM. I had informed them that I needed to catch the 8 PM Shinkansen, so both the guide and the driver hurried to ensure I could get back safely.

For those with specific Shinkansen times, I recommend allowing extra time for safety.

Living in Japan, it’s not often that you get the chance to interact with people from overseas, but experiencing different cultures in this way was a great opportunity, making the tour twice as enjoyable. I want to go again! ❣️

以前より訪れてみたかった高千穂ツアーへ
日本人は私一人でしたが、日本に居ながら海外ツアーに来た気分で楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも、日本人私一人の為にきめ細やかな心遣いをして下さり、全く不安なく一日中楽しく過ごせました。
ただ、ツアーの帰宅時間は18時に終了と書かれていましたが、交通渋滞などもあり19時を過ぎていました。
20時の新幹線で帰る事を伝えていたので、ガイドさんも、運転手さんももの凄く急いでくださり無事帰る事が出来ましたが。。
新幹線の時間などある方は、多めに余裕をみて置かれたほうが安全だと思います。

日本に居ると、なかなか海外の方と交流する機会がありませんが、こういうカタチで異文化を感じるのもアリだなぁと、2倍楽しめるツアーでした。
また行きたい❣️

I had never really used a bus tour before, but I thought it would be a relaxed and safe way to go with my friends, so I decided to join. As a result, my friend who came from Taiwan was very satisfied with the day.

We enjoyed walking around Takayama and tried several types of sake at a shop we both liked. After filling our stomachs, we got back on the bus. While dozing off, we arrived at Shirakawa-go. The view of Shirakawa-go from the observation deck is always great, no matter how many times you see it. Climbing up and down to the observation deck was also good exercise, which was nice. It's reassuring to have the bus available as well.

Since we had some extra time, we ended the day with a visit to a day-use hot spring. We were able to relax for about 40 minutes before heading back to the bus. I felt completely satisfied both physically and mentally, and I mostly slept on the way back to Nagoya Station.

The flexibility during travel that a bus tour provides is wonderful. It was also enjoyable in a good way that there were not many Japanese people on the bus. If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you for a wonderful day!

今までバスツアーをあまり利用した事がなかったですが、友達と気楽に安心して行けると思い参加させていただきました。
結果、台湾から来てくれたお友達も大満足の1日でした。
高山で食べ歩きをして、2人共好きな日本酒のお店で数種類試飲。お腹が満たされてバスへ。
うとうとしてる間に白川郷へ。
展望台からの白川郷は、何度見ても良い雰囲気。
展望台への登り下りもなかなか良い運動になって良かったです。バスもあるので安心です。
時間に余裕があったので、最後に日帰りの温泉へ。40分程ゆったりと出来てバスへ。
心身共に満たされて、名古屋駅までほぼ寝ていました。
バスツアーだから出来る移動時のゆとりは良いですね。
日本人が車中少ないのも良い意味で楽しかったです。
また機会がありましたら、是非参加させていただきたいと思いました。
今日は1日ありがとうございました。

But no fault of agency just took too long going n return. About 7 hrs cos otw back accident.
So no time for boat rowing.
Lunch was excellent in a 250 yo thatch hut with original kitchen n mud floors. No food wasn’t prepared there.

For those without a car, accessing Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go can be quite challenging. I chose this bus tour because it covers both locations, offers free time, and operates with just one participant.

At the meeting point in Nagoya Station, there were many participants, requiring two large buses (most of whom were Chinese), but everyone gathered on time. We departed smoothly ahead of schedule, and all breaks and gatherings at each spot were punctual.

While we managed to avoid rain in Hida Takayama, it was unfortunate that it poured in Shirakawa-go. We arrived in Hida Takayama around 11 AM, so I recommend having an early lunch at that time. Although there were many souvenir shops in Shirakawa-go, there weren't many restaurants. This village has several spots that served as the setting for the anime "Higurashi: When They Cry," and exploring the village in the rain while searching for these spots became a fun memory.

After a journey of just under three hours from Nagoya to Hida Takayama, including one break, we had two hours of free time at the destination. We then traveled to Shirakawa-go in just under an hour, where we also had two hours of free time. The return trip was similarly just under three hours, including one break.

The bus seating was spacious, the female driver drove safely, and although the guide couldn't speak English, she was very kind and friendly, making it a great tour. It was a simple yet well-organized itinerary, providing a stress-free and satisfying experience.

I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

車を持たない人にとってはなかなかアクセスが難しい飛騨高山と白川郷。この２つをカバーし、自由時間があり、1名から催行ということでこのバスツアーを選びました。
集合場所の名駅では、参加者が多く大型バス2台を要しましたが（大半は中国人）、集合も時間厳守。名駅からスムーズに時間前に出発、各スポットまでの途中の休憩所、スポットでの自由散策後の集合もすべて時間どおりでした。

飛騨高山では雨を免れたものの、白川郷では土砂降りだったのが残念でした。
飛騨高山には11時前後に到着するため、この時に早めにお昼ご飯を食べるのがおすすめ。白川郷ではお土産屋さんは多かったものの、レストランはあまりありませんでした。この村にはアニメ「ひぐらしのなく頃に」の舞台となったスポットがいくつかあり、雨の中村を散策しながらスポットを探すのも楽しい思い出となりました。

名古屋から飛騨高山まで途中1回の休憩を含め3時間弱の乗車後、現地で自由時間が2時間。その後1時間弱で白川郷まで移動し、同じく2時間の自由時間がありました。復路も往路と同じく1回の休憩を含め3時間弱。
バスの座席スペースもゆったりめ、女性の運転手は安全運転、ガイドさんは英語は話せないものの、非常に親切で気さくな方だったので、とてもいいツアーになりました。シンプルですが非常によく組まれた行程で、ストレスなく満足できるツアーでした。

次回もまた機会があれば利用したいと思います。

The kind assistance and explanations in English made for a very enjoyable trip. I mistakenly went to the wrong meeting spot at the station and got a little lost, but they were very helpful. Thank you so much.

親切な対応と英語での説明。とても楽しい旅となりました。駅の待ち合わせ場所を間違えてしまい、少し迷ったのですが、優しく対応してくださいました。本当にありがとうございます。

The guide was very thoughtful. It was a fun day. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again. Highly recommended!

思いやりがあるガイドさんでした。楽しかった一日でした。ありがとうございました。また参加したいです。お勧め！

I was the only Japanese person, and the rest were from China, so the guidance was in Chinese. They didn't seem to be very good at Japanese, so I received a sheet with the Japanese text explaining the course, which was not a problem. The crater of Mount Aso Nakadake was erupting, and the smoke was quite impressive, so we couldn't go there and changed to Kusasenri instead. It was disappointing, so I will try to visit the Aso crater again. Kusasenri was beautiful, and it was nice to have souvenir shops there as well.

日本人は私一人、あとは中国の方だったので、中国語で案内。日本語が得意ではないらしく、私には今回のコースの説明書きの日本語文章が書いてある用紙をいただいたので問題無かったです。阿蘇中岳の火山口が噴火して、煙がモクモクと凄かったので入れず、草千里に変更になりました。残念だったのでまたリベンジ阿蘇火山口します。草千里も綺麗でお土産屋もあって良かったです。

I have limited mobility, so the guide kindly arranged a special shuttle bus for me. Normally, it would be a 30-minute walk, but I was able to fully enjoy Takachiho. I will participate again.

あまり歩けない私は、ガイドさんの配慮で特別にシャトルバスを手配していただきました。普通なら30分位歩くコースなのですが、高千穂を充分満喫できました。また参加します。

Takachiho Shrine, a short walk
Takachiho Gorge, walking
Amanoiwato Shrine, quite a walk
Japanese lunch, delicious
Guide, I went to Shinshin Ramen!
It was tasty, thank you! ✋️

高千穂神社　少しあるく
高千穂峡　歩く
天岩戸神社　まあまあ歩く
和食ランチ　美味し
ガイドさ〜ん　シンシンラーメン行ってきたよー
美味しかった　ありがとう✋️

The meeting point was hard to see because the flag was not very visible, and the tour guide had not arrived, so I got lost. Many people were confused and wandering around because they couldn't see the flag. Even though the bus seats were assigned, there were still some people who didn't understand that. In the end, someone without a seat showed up, which delayed our departure.

Since it was a three-day weekend, we got caught in a huge traffic jam, making it a long bus tour, but we still had enough time at the sightseeing spots, which was good. Normally, this would be the season for autumn leaves, but this year was just before that; however, I was still healed by the beautiful scenery.

集合場所が旗が良く見えなかったり、添乗員が到着していなかったので迷った。旗が見えなくて大勢の人が右往左往していた。バスの席も決まっているのに、理解してない人がちらほら。結局、席がない人が現れ、出発が遅れた。
三連休中だったので大渋滞に巻き込まれ、長いバスツアーになったが、見学するポイントではそれでも充分に時間が取れたのでよかった。例年であれば紅葉の季節だが、今年は一歩手前だったけど、きれいな景色でいっぱい癒されました。

The weather was nice, making for a wonderful day. In Shirakawa-go, there was an annual doburoku festival, and I was glad to learn about it from our guide, as I didn't know about it beforehand. The guide was very knowledgeable and kindly recommended some great places to eat. However, on festival days, many dining spots are closed, and there were lines at the open restaurants, so it was a good decision to eat right after we arrived. I also enjoyed walking around the old streets of Takayama. The itinerary helped us avoid traffic, allowing us to have a smooth day. Thank you very much.

お天気も良く、大変良い1日となりました。白川郷では年に一回のどぶろく祭りがあり、知らなかったのでガイドさんに教えてもらえてよかったです。ガイドさんはよくご存知でオススメのお店を教えてくれたり、とても親切でした。ただ、お祭りの日は食事場所がおやすみのところも多く、空いているお店に列ができていましたので、食事は到着後すぐにとって正解でした。高山も古い街並みの街歩きを楽しめました。渋滞を回避する工程にしてくださり、順調に1日終えることができました。ありがとうございました。

There were more foreign visitors than I expected, and the guide spoke to me in Chinese at the meeting point. However, they quickly remembered my face and spoke to me in Japanese from then on.
The explanations on the bus were in Japanese → Chinese → Korean (audio) → English (audio).
One positive aspect was that before arriving at the sightseeing spots, they provided a map and distributed a sheet with the participants' languages, explaining each group one by one. They kindly explained in Japanese how long it would take to walk this far, that it would take time during the holiday, and suggested that it might be better to go ahead.
When I was waiting in line for a crowded restroom, they helped me by saying, "It’s a bit of a walk, but the restroom over there is available and clean!"
There was traffic, so we returned later than expected, but I was very satisfied. Both the guide and the driver were really pleasant.

思った以上に外国の方が多く、集合場所でガイドさんに声をかけられたのが中国語でした。ですが、すぐに顔を覚えて頂いて、それ以降は日本語で話しかけらました。
バス内での説明は、日本語→中国語→韓国語(音声)→英語(音声)です。
良かった点は、観光地到着前に地図をくれるのですが、参加者の使用言語の用紙を配りながら一組ずつ説明して下さいます。ここまで歩くと何分かかります、連休中で時間がかかりますのでこちらから先に回った方が良いと思います等、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれました。
混んでいるトイレに並んでいる時、少し歩きますがあちらのトイレが空いていてキレイですよ！と教えて頂いて助かりました。
渋滞があったので、最終的に戻って来た時間は遅くなりましたが、とても満足できました。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも本当に感じが良かったです。

Usually, I tour by rental car or my own car, but this was my first time on a sightseeing bus tour, and it was an affordable and fun day. There was traffic due to the holiday, but since I wasn't driving, I was able to enjoy the scenery and have conversations with my wife.
I will use this service again.
Thank you to the bus driver and the guide.

普段は、レンタカーや自家用車で観光するのですが観光バスでのツアーは初めてで料金も安く楽しい1日でした。連休で車も渋滞してましたが運転をしないので景色を見ながら妻と会話が出来ました。
また、利用させていただきます。
バスの運転手さん、ガイドさん、ありがとうございます。

We participated as a Japanese parent and child (the child is in elementary school). We spent about two hours exploring Shirakawa-go and the old streets of Takayama. Since it was just the two of us, that amount of time was just right, allowing us to stroll around, stop by cafes, and have meals without wasting time. I think it's perfect for those who want to efficiently visit cultural heritage sites in one day.

The tour guide was kind and friendly, providing detailed information. They also distributed tourist maps of Shirakawa-go and Hida Takayama before we arrived, which would help first-time visitors get a good sense of the area.

This time, there were many Asian tourists, and the announcements were mainly in Chinese and Japanese, but I didn't find anything particularly difficult to understand.

The overall group had very good manners, and everything proceeded on schedule, making the bus ride comfortable and enjoyable!

I would like to try a different course next time.

日本人親子で参加しました（子供小学生）
白川郷と高山の古街並み散策を、それぞれ２時間ぐらいの滞在でまわりました。
子供と2人だったので、それぐらいの時間が丁度よく、散策したりカフェに入ったり、食事をしたり
無駄なく回れました。
文化遺産を１日で効率よく回りたい方にはピッタリだと思います。

添乗員さんも優しい方で、色々と丁寧に教えてくれる親しみやすい方でした。現地に到着前に白川郷と飛騨高山の観光地図も配ってくれたので初めて行く方でもイメージしやすいのではないでしょうか。

今回はアジア系の海外の方が多く、中国語と日本語がメインでアナウンスされる感じでしたが、とくにわかりにくいこともなく過ごせました(^^)

参加メンバーさん全体がとてもマナーが良い感じだったのもありますが、すべて時間通りの予定進み、バス内も快適に楽しく過ごせましたよ！


また違うコースも
行ってみたいです。

It was a female driver, and after a restroom break, she even went out of her way to stop at a convenience store for one passenger! There were many foreign passengers, but not a single person complained! I was moved! The guide was also amazing with three languages! Thank you very much! I want to participate again!

女性の運転手さんでしたが、トイレ休憩のあと、しばらくして一人のお客様のためにわざわざ、コンビニによって下さいました！外国人の乗客も沢山いらっしゃいましたが、誰一人苦情をいう方は、いなかったです！感動しました！ガイドさんも、三カ国すごかったです！ありがとうございました！又参加したいです！

I participated in a tour in October. During the food walk in Takayama, the Hida beef sushi was exquisite, and there was a place to sample different types of sake, making it a unique experience that only a bus tour can offer. After a two-hour stroll, we could relax on the bus, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing in a leisurely and comfortable manner. In Shirakawa-go, I was able to experience the beautiful nature, and I had a great time. The bus staff were also very courteous, providing explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and English, which made it very easy to understand. I definitely want to use this service again.

10月のツアーに参加しました。
高山の食べ歩きでは、飛騨牛のにぎり寿司が絶品で、日本酒の飲み比べをする場所もあり、バスツアーだからこその楽しみ方ができました。
2時間散策の後は、バスで休むことができるので、のんびりゆったりとした気持ちで観光できます。
白川郷では美しい自然に触れることができ、とても楽しむことができました。
バスの方の対応も丁寧で、日本語、中国語、英語で説明してくださってとてもわかりやすかったです。
また是非利用したいと思います。

Since it was my first time at Nagoya Station's Taiko Entrance, I spent about 10 minutes wandering around trying to find the meeting place, but I eventually spotted the tour flag in the crowd in front of the police box. That day was also the Takayama Festival, and there were 40 participants. It seemed to be first-come, first-served, so I ended up in the very back seat. There were many foreigners, but everyone was punctual, and there were no particularly loud individuals, making it a very good tour. The female tour guide skillfully used both Chinese and Japanese to come to each person's seat and clearly explained how to explore Shirakawa-go and Takayama. We were able to sightsee for about two hours each, and I was very satisfied with the day trip tour.

初めて名古屋駅太閤口だったので集合場所がみつからず10分ほどウロウロしてしまいましたがなんとか交番前の人混みの中にツアーの旗を
発見。この日は高山祭りもあり、40人の参加者、先着順なのか一番後ろの席に。外国人が多かったようですが、みなさん時間厳守ができ、とくにやかましい人もいなくてとてもいいツアーでした。女性の添乗員さんは中国語と日本語を駆使して1人ひとりの席までやってきて白川郷と高山の行動の仕方をわかりやすく説明してくれました。それぞれ2時間ほど観光ができ、日帰りツアーとしては大満足でした。

It was a tour for Chinese people, but I received support in Japanese, so there were no inconveniences! I was able to visit historic shrines, and I am very satisfied!

中国人の方向けのツアーでしたが、日本語でもサポートしていただき不便はありませんでした！由緒ある神社をめぐれ、満足です！

I had the opportunity to experience the Hozu River boat ride again after a long time. This time, I participated with my wife and our two children. A week before our experience, due to the slow-moving typhoon, the dam released water, resulting in lower water levels and a gentler current than usual on the day of our ride. Despite that, the children were extremely excited. Since it was still quite hot with lingering summer heat, the sun was intense, and towards the end, our younger child got a bit tired from the heat. However, they expressed a desire to ride again, so I would like to experience it once more during the autumn foliage season.

久しぶりに保津川下りを体験させて頂きました。
今回は妻と子供２人との参加でした。
体験１週間前にノロノロ台風の影響でダムの水を放流してしまい、当日は水位がいつもより低く、水流もそんなに激しくもなく穏やかな乗船となりました。
子供たちはそれでも大興奮でした。
まだまだ残暑残る中での乗船だったので、日差しがきつく最後のほうは下の子供が少し暑さでバテテしまいましたが、また乗船したいと言っているので、今度は紅葉の時期に再度体験させて頂きたいと思います。

The meeting place for the tour departing from Nagoya was easy to find, allowing us to participate in the tour with peace of mind! Most of the participants were from China, with only two groups of Japanese, including us. The staff were also Chinese, and the explanations during the transfer were in Chinese. They came to explain to us individually in Japanese!

We were blessed with good weather, took many wonderful photos, and created great memories from the trip! Each group had two hours of free time after getting off the bus, which was more than enough to enjoy ourselves! I recommend entering a restaurant in Takayama immediately after getting off the bus. The line became quite long afterward. The mitarashi dango is reasonably priced at 100 yen per stick and is very delicious, so definitely try it while walking around! Everyone's manners were good, and the schedule progressed on time!

My husband and I are talking about wanting to go again for an overnight stay! Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

名古屋発着のツアーで待ち合わせ場所もわかりやすく安心してツアーに参加できました！参加者のほとんどが中国の方で日本人は私達含め2組ほど。スタッフの方も中国の方で移動中の説明は中国語。日本人へは個別に説明に来てくれました！
お天気にも恵まれ、素敵な写真がたくさん撮れ、旅のいい思い出になりました！！それぞれバスを降りてからの時間は2時間の自由時間でしたが充分楽しめました！高山でのランチは、バス下車後、すぐにお店に入ることをおすすめします。その後の時間はかなり長蛇の列になっていましたm(_ _)mみたらし団子は一本100円とリーズナブル且つとっても美味しいので是非食べ歩きに♪参加者皆さんのマナーも良く時間通りにスケジュールが進みました！
次は泊まりで行きたいね！と主人と話しております。楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！

Shirakawa-go was great despite the rain, and I was able to visit the old houses. It would have been even better with snow. I want to go again in winter. Takayama, perhaps because of the rain, didn't have many places to enter, and it wasn't very impressive. It was much better compared to the "apple picking" tour.

白川郷は雨にもかかわらず、古い家を訪ねることができよかったです。
雪があればもっと良かった。冬にもう一度行きたいです。
高山は雨のせいか入るところが余りなく、感動がなかった。
「りんご狩り」ツアーに比べるとずっとよかった。

It wasn't too hot or too cold, so the breeze felt nice. It was a good preview experience of Tokyo, as I got to see places like the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and cross the Rainbow Bridge, even though I couldn't drive myself.

暑くもなく寒くもなくだったので風が気持ちよかったです。皇居、東京タワー、レインボーブリッジを渡るなど、自分で運転できないので、東京の一部を知る下見体験としてよかったかな。
