I wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, so I searched online and made a reservation. The guide was very polite, unique, and even fluent in English, which made for a truly memorable day!
Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful Shirakawa-go! Thank you very much to our guide, Mr. Kuroda, the driver, and the trainee driver for all your help.

This tour covers all the mandatory sights in and around Mount Fuji on a day trip from Tokyo. The guide was very helpful. If you have JR pass then you can take the shinkansen back to Tokyo else it is good idea to boom the tour with bullet train package. Food served during the tour was average. Overall a goos experience.

Initially, I participated with the expectation of a storm, but when we arrived, it was sunny, and even when it rained, it was just light rain, allowing us to fully enjoy sightseeing. For lunch, I thought it would mainly be wild vegetables, but it was very well-balanced and delicious. Even as a picky eater, I was able to eat everything and was very satisfied! If I had to say something, I would have liked to allocate 15 to 30 minutes of the time spent at Takayama to Shirakawa-go instead. Both the guide and the driver were very attentive and kind. Thanks to the guide's well-structured information, I was able to enjoy the sightseeing, and overall, it turned out to be a fulfilling tour, leaving me very satisfied!
当初、嵐の予報で覚悟して参加しましたが、降りたところでは晴れて、降っても小雨で、観光を満喫できました。昼食も、山菜中心になるのかなぁ〜と思っていましたが、とてもバランス良く美味しく、偏食な私でも全部食べれて、とても満足でした!強いて言えば、高山の見学時間を15分から30分白川郷に回して頂きたかったです。ガイドさんもドライバーさんも親身で良くして頂きました。ガイドさんのポイントを押さえた案内で観光も楽しむ事ができ、結果充実したツアーになり大満足でした‼
Dear Chako,

The weather was forecasted to be rough, but when we arrived in Shirakawa-go, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful weather and clear blue skies.

The claim that they had only been studying English for a year must be a joke. I found it very helpful to learn how certain expressions are used in English. Additionally, the guide took us to shooting spots that weren't in the guidebook. Thank you very much.

I was finally able to visit Shirakawa-go with my family, and it was a wonderful experience. We participated in this tour as one of the events during our trip to Kanazawa. The tour ran from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM on the weekend, and we first had a hands-on experience making white shrimp rice crackers at "Sasara-ya" in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture. Since my son has a shrimp allergy, they kindly provided him with kelp rice crackers instead, which was very helpful. Additionally, I appreciated the thoughtful consideration given to the souvenirs distributed on the bus.
Next, we headed to Shirakawa-go, starting with lunch. It was very fulfilling and delicious. I was very satisfied to have tried Hida beef and Hoba miso. I had assumed that Shirakawa-go would be covered in snow during this season and prepared accordingly, but unfortunately, there was no snow, which was quite disappointing. However, it may have actually been better for walking around. Among several houses, we toured the Wada House, a gassho-zukuri structure in a UNESCO World Heritage site in a heavy snowfall area. It was very interesting. That night, it started to snow, and it seems the next day was a snowy landscape. Before you go, I recommend checking the weather and live cameras on the Shirakawa-go Tourism Association's website. I believe taking a bus tour to Shirakawa-go was definitely the right choice. Thank you to our tour guide for a fun trip. Since there was no snow, I felt a bit disappointed and rated it four stars.
念願だった白川郷へ家族で行くことができ、とても良い体験ができました。金沢旅行の中のイベントの一つとして、このツアーに参加しました。9:30 〜15:30の土日のツアーで、まずは富山県南砺市の「ささら屋」でしろえび煎餅の手焼き体験をしました。息子はエビアレルギーのため、代わりに昆布のかきもちを出してくださり助かりました。また、バスの中で、配られたお土産も、きちんと配慮して下さり、お心遣いが嬉しかったです。
次は白川郷へ。まずは昼食。とても充実していて美味しかったです。飛騨牛、ほうば味噌も食べられ大満足でした。この時期の白川郷は雪景色と思い込み、身支度も重装備で臨みましたが、なんと雪がなく、とても残念でした。しかし、散策にはかえって良かったのかもしれません。何軒かある中で、和田家の中を見学しました。世界遺産の豪雪地帯の合掌造り。とても興味深かったです。この日の夜から雪になり、翌日は雪景色だったようです。行かれる前には白川郷観光協会のサイトで天気やライブカメラが見られますので、確認されて行くと良いと思います。白川郷へは、やはりバスツアーが大正解だったと思いました。添乗員さん、楽しい旅をありがとうございました。雪がなかったので、ちょっと残念で星4つとさせていただきました。
Dear 25sakurayumi25,
Thank you for participating in the Shirakawa-go World Heritage Day Trip Bus Tour. The hand-baked rice crackers at "Sasara-ya" must have been a great experience. I believe your children enjoyed it as well. The meal in Shirakawa-go featured dishes that are not typically available, such as Hoba miso, Hida beef, and rare mountain vegetables and river fish from the Hida region.
The "light-up" event started this January, but unfortunately, there is only a little snow visible, and it is still not enough. We hope for more snowfall in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experience and photos from this trip. We wish everyone a wonderful year ahead.

I was looking forward to enjoying the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go, but there was no snow at all and it was raining. I was quite disappointed, but when I went to Gokayama, I was greeted with beautiful snowy landscapes! It was truly moving. Thank you very much to our guide, Takeda-san. The stories about the Hokuriku region and the fun anecdotes were all very memorable. Thanks to the skillful coordination of the driver and Takeda-san, we were able to visit smoothly before many tourists arrived. The only downside was the lunch, which was a bit lacking! You mentioned it was your first time visiting, but aside from that, it was an excellent tour. Thank you very much. I had a great time.
雪景色の白川郷を楽しみに行ったのに、全く雪がなく雨が降っていました。残念で落ち込んでいたところ、五箇山に行くと雪景色に!感動しました。ガイドの竹田さん、大変お世話になりました。北陸地方の話や楽しい話など本当に心に残る事ばかりでした。また運転手の方と竹田さんの手際の良さで、多くの観光客が来る前にすんなり見学できました。ただ昼食だけはいまいちかなぁ!初めて行かれる所とおっしゃっていましたが!それ以外は申し分のないツアーでした。ありがとうございました。とても楽しかったです。
Dear Sakura,
Thank you for participating in the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Free Walking Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you were moved by the snowy scenery of Gokayama. I believe you felt that even though both villages feature traditional gassho-zukuri architecture, the atmosphere is completely different between Shirakawa-go and Gokayama.
Shirakawa-go and Gokayama have entirely different faces depending on the season. We hope you will visit again in the future.

Due to the large number of participants, we split into two buses: one for Japanese and one for foreigners. At Shirakawa-go, we had plenty of free time to explore, but since the kids got bored, it would have been nice to visit another location. The lunch was delicious, and the rice cracker baking experience was also a lot of fun. The guide's insights were valuable, and I’m glad I joined the tour instead of going on my own.
参加者が多かったため日本人のバス、外国人のバスと分かれて2つのバスで出発。白川郷ではたっぷり自由時間があり散策できましたが子供が飽きてしまったので、もう一箇所別の場所を観光できると良かったかな。昼食も美味しかったですし、おせんべい焼き体験も大満喫でした。

We spend 15 days in Japan and took many local tours from many different tour companies, this is by far the best we had.
Jun, our tour guide, a Japanese native with fluent english speaking, very punctual and organized and also gave us enough free time to explore our own. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Japanese culture and very happy and proudly shared with us along the trip and on every location we visited.
For anyone looking for this tour, I suggest to travel lite, although there's enough time for everyone, we even have a couple with a toddler and stroller within our group at that time, we still manage to finish all location and have spare time. But without our punctual guide, we won't be able to see so many locations in a day.
Very well organized, I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

I would recommend this tour if you are looking for an efficient and effective use of time to cover all the main attractions of Kyoto in 1 day. The attractions covered were all the must see attractions so there was no time wasted at visiting attractions that were less popular. Time spent at each location is also about right - not too long and not too short. It didn’t feel very rush and we still had time to grab some but and walk around on our own a little. The bus was also comfortable and we manage to catch a nap between the attractions that were further apart. The explanations provided by the guide could be abit more detailed (as we are history lovers), but the information provided is definitely enough if you are looking for just an overview and the gists. Overall, it was definitely a day and money well spent given that we managed to cover all the attractions we wanted to see in Kyoto in one day. It was our first time in Kyoto, so this tour really helped to save us a lot of time and trouble of having to figure our way out via public transport. We wouldn’t have been able to cover all the attractions without this tour. The guided tour also helped us enjoy each attraction efficiently such that we do not have to loiter around aimlessly.

I would suggest that the lunch option should include seafood or halal options. After a full day of walking settling for pure vegetarian food was a bit of a let down. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this tour to visitors who have limited time in Kyoto. It takes you to all the major sites and provides you with a good orientation of the city.

I had imagined a small bus, but it was a nice, large bus, and we were assigned seats, which made for a comfortable journey. The guide provided thorough explanations, allowing us to gain knowledge about Shirakawa-go and Gokayama before exploring. There was no snow, so my elderly mother and aunt were able to walk around without any issues. The lunch and rice crackers were delicious, and I’m really glad I participated.
母、伯母を連れて3人で参加しました。集合場所は金沢駅でわかりやすかったです。バスは小さなバスを想像してましたが立派なバスで、席も決めていただいていて快適に移動できました。
ガイドさんの説明がしっかりとあり、白川郷や五箇山の知識を得てからまわることができました。雪はなかったので、高齢の母たちも問題なく歩き回れました。ランチやお煎餅もおいしく、本当に参加してよかったです。
Dear Kaom,
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. We are very pleased to hear your kind words and that you were satisfied with our service. The images you took are also very beautifully captured. As we move into the colder season, please take care of yourself and avoid catching a cold.

This was a great list of places to visit as they are all the places that it would be harder to get to when on your own by public transport. The day was beautiful and our guide was very well informed. I would definitely recommend it. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish we could have stayed longer at some of the locations but with so many to visit and most of the temples and shrines closing before 5 pm here in Kyoto, there was no choice but to move quickly.

Both the guide and the driver were extremely experienced, and they kept us entertained until the end. The guide was fluent in English, so I believe foreign visitors were able to fully enjoy the wonderful Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. Both of them were very friendly and approachable. It was a great tour, and I can definitely recommend it.
ガイドさんもドライバーさんも チョーベテランの方々で 最後まで楽しませていただきました
ガイドさんは英語が堪能で 外国の方にも素晴らしい白川郷と五箇山を体感してしていただけたと思います
お二人とも 大変気さくな方で フレンドリー
良いツアーでした
絶対おすすめできます
Dear Boo,
You had a truly valuable experience on the White Road, which is only accessible during the summer season. It's rare to have a day where you can enjoy the view of Mount Hakusan while driving nearby. I was also very happy to see Mount Hakusan.
Each day, we interact with different customers, and we hope to provide as much satisfaction as possible. We aim to create tours that will leave everyone with wonderful memories. Your words have been a great encouragement to us. Thank you very much.
Once again, thank you for participating in this tour.

夏の季節しか通行できないホワイトロードは大変貴重なご経験されましたね。というのも、近くを走りながら白山を眺められる日もあまり無いのです。私も白山を見られて大変嬉しく思っていました。
私たちそれぞれ毎日違うお客様と接していて、出来るだけご満足していただけたらと思っています。
これからも皆様に良い思い出になるようなツアーにしていきたいと思っています。Boo様のお言葉はとても私たちの励みになりました。ありがとうございます。
改めまして今回のツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。

I participated alone, but I had a great time. The guide showed us spots where no one else was around, and I was able to take photos in a really beautiful location!
一人で参加したのですが、楽しく参加できました。
ガイドさんが誰もいないスポットを教えて下さり、とっても綺麗な場所で撮影出来ました!
Dear I-chan,
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. Your rice crackers turned out beautifully! The photos from that "secret spot" are stunning, and the panoramic view of the village from the observation deck is professional quality!
It was surprisingly moving to visit a place that not many people know about. We hope you will join us again in a different season to see another side of Shirakawa-go.
Best regards,
Your guide

お煎餅焼きも上手に出来上がっていますね。例のあの「秘密の場所」はとても綺麗に撮れていますし、展望台からの集落全景もプロ並みです!
あまり人が行かない、知らない場所は意外と感動ありましたね。また、ぜひ違う季節にもご参加くださいませ。別の白川郷の顔も見られますよ。

Due to limited time We booked this tour the day before. Due to the Booking time already closed on the website we had to co-ordinate our booking through VELTRA facebook messenger. The team were very fast to rely & with great communication we were able to secure 3 seats on the Tour.
The meeting location across from Kyoto Station was very easy to find & we waited for our Tour Guide. Jorge Introduced himself & lead us onto the bus for a very full day of sight seeing.
At Each Cultural sight we were given a full educational history & cultural commentary by Jorge & then our own time to explore, if time permitted a little shopping. My daughters & I always seemed to be rushing for the bus as so much to see & do at each location. Even though Jorge is not a native from Japan his knowledge & insight is fantastic. We found Jorge to be funny, calm & professional.
Our Tour was on Saturday & a public holiday in Japan, so some locations such
as the Bamboo Forrest & 1001 Tori gates were busy. Due to the crowds & a few mishaps during the day, & through no fault of our Tour guides, we ran behind
time. WE made our last stop The Golden Pavilion 10 mins before closing & as the sun was going down. Luckily I was able to get a few photos & walk around the Temple before the gates were closed. Our supplied lunch at the Bamboo Forest location was very unique & tasty.
I Recommend NOT DOING the TOUR on the weekend or Public Holiday if
possible. I would use Veltra Tours again & 100% highly recommend Jorge as a Tour Guide. Its a very full busy day & was very glad to be able to rest on the bus between locations.

It was a great tour since I wanted to visit both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The free time was just right. The staff were friendly, but the guide talked the whole time, so I wished there had been a little time to soak in the atmosphere or quietly enjoy the view from the car. Also, since I participated alone, I wanted to have lunch with the others instead of sitting at a table by myself, which made me feel a bit lonely. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves sitting next to each other. Overall, I was satisfied with the tour.
白川郷と五箇山どちらも行きたかったので、とてもいいツアーでした。
自由時間もちょうどよかったです。
スタッフさんの方々もフレンドリーでよかったですが、ガイドさんがずっとお話しされていたので、少しは、余韻に浸ったり、ゆっくり車内で静かに車窓をみたりする時間が欲しかったです。また、一人参加だったのですが、一人だからこそ食事(昼食)は、他のみなさんと並んで食べたかったです。ひとりのテーブルで、一人参加を強調されたようで、さみしかったです。他のみなさんは隣同志ならんでいて楽しそうでした。
ツアーには満足です。

Dear Sora,
Thank you for participating in the Shirakawa-go day trip bus tour the other day. It was rare to have such nice weather during this time of year.
