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。

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。
ガイドさんのお話もためになり、個人で行くよりツアーに参加して良かったです。
Dear Mr. Yamachan,
Thank you for participating in the Shirakawa-go day trip bus tour. We appreciate your satisfaction with the meals from the Hida region and the rice cracker experience.
Our company will continue to strive to enhance the tour content to ensure everyone is satisfied. If you have the opportunity, the greenery visible between the gassho-zukuri houses after the rice planting in spring is also very beautiful.

If you are in Kanazawa and wish to explore Shirakawago, this tour is it.
The tour departs from the JR Kanazawa station Bus terminal.
The tour was held in both Japanese and English.
I must commend the tour guide who spoke excellent English and very informative about Kanazawa and the tour destinations.
The lunch at the Shirakawago was very tasty.
After lunch, we visited Ainokura Village, which was much smaller, less crowded but equally attractive.
I highly recommend the tour to everyone.

My first visit to Shirakawa-go was the day after the first snowfall, and there was a light dusting of snow remaining. The beautiful mountains and the stroll around Shirakawa-go became wonderful memories. I was also glad to finally try the gohei mochi that I had wanted to taste.
The souvenirs recommended by the tour guide and the sushi restaurant were all hits, making for a very satisfying trip. Although we traveled by microbus, I think it allowed us to access routes that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.
Thank you to the driver and the tour guide for all your help.

This trip wouldn’t have been the same without June! He was an amazing tour guide. Being in a different country can be nervous but he explained the culture in a way that you will be able to understand! We got to visit all of the popular destinations here in Kyoto without worrying about calling a taxi, time or even admission costs. June took care of everything!

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.

Very good experience overall. Professional bus driver who drove safely and kept to the strict timelines. Our guide Joon was very friendly and witty. Well done!
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.

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.

Booked package tour through veltra.com and immediately after online payment email confirmation received for tour details and pick up point. I found difficulty in locating pick up point, so advised travelers to have sufficient time margin in reaching pick up point, as bus departs on time without any further wait. Japanese people are very strict on time, so when they announce for time, be careful and return to bus before that time, otherwise you may miss the bus on any sightseeing point. Booked vegetarian food, but could not get anything there even salad was having meat. Alcohol are mixed in most food products. Vegetarian are advised not to book food in package. Better to carry your own food as alternate food availability is also not there other than included in package. It was sunny day, hence could see Mt Fuji amazing views and it made our day. 5th station was closed due to snow fall, hence we returned from 1st station. Only 10 min was given at first station, which was most beautiful place in entire trip and this was negative. Lot of time spent for lunch which was not necessary. Cruise trip was in dark, so it was just a boating, could not see the beauty around mountain. Return ticket for bullet train was given in bus and highly recommended due to heavy traffic jam during return trip. It took only 35 min to reach Tokiyo instead of 2.5-4 hrs in bus. Overall package cost was more, however tour is worth due to natural beauty. Lady guide was fluent in English and coordinated well the entire trip, except for time management. Recommend every traveler to visit Mount Fuji, it is must tour if you are in Tokiyo. You can leave Tokiyo city tour, if time does not permit but Mt Fuji tour is must, if whether permits.
Thank you for joining our tour and your feedback.
We are happy to hear that most of the time, you have enjoyed the tour and you have been able to see the whole view of Mt. Fuji.

Good day activity out of Tokyo. Not too strenuous for elderly yet get to see mt fuji and enjoy hakone! Lunch was good too. Only set back was controlling the other people on the tour. With each stop being 5-10mins late, we ended up being half hour late for last activity which was the lake ashi cruise and being late autumn/early winter, the sky was dark and we couldn't see anything! And because it was late we decided to take the bullet train back to tokyo which cost extra. Overall, a good day tour!

Finding the starting point was easy as it was very easy to see at the train station. It was nice that there were translations available as one of us spoke English and the other spoke Chinese. Despite rainy weather the tour was great. The tour obviously runs on a schedule so lingering to meditate will not work. There was enough time to follow the trails and get a number of photos but be aware that there will be crowds as these are very popular tourist places. This is an easy way to see the temples and to avoid numerous train and subway changes.

The guide was very good and informative. However, Mt Fuji was completely fogged in (even it was hard to see the shops at the 5th station in the fog), and it was rainy, foggy for all of the other sites. The lunch was great, though, and it was a nice day to get out of the city into the countryside. Because pretty much all of the sites were not visible I would have hoped that this tour be rescheduled (the following day was clear).

Both were great in providing the service, and the driver were really eager to make sure all of us had great time during that day. He also took us to very special place where we could enjoy watching Mount Fuji although the 5th station was closed due to slippery. Was such a great experience and service.
Dear Indra
Thank you very much for your comment. The weather has been good and I can see you enjoyed your day from the photo as well.
Looking forward to seeing you next time and show you other places next time. Taji

This was such an amazing trip! The tour group met right outside the train station in Kyoto and were very easy to find. It was well organized - we were split up into groups and had a designated bus and host throughout the day. Our tour guide, George, was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and with great sense of humor! The sights that they had scheduled for us to see where nothing short of incredible. George made sure we made it on time to every destination and I'm glad because we saw it all! The scenery along with our guide made us appreciate the temples even more which gave us a deeper understanding of the city and culture beyond the beauty of it all! This was definitely a must do!!
Thank you for joining our tour and great review!
We are happy to hear the tour satisfied your expectation.
Your guide, he will be honor to hear your positive comments.
We hope your whole experience in Japan to be a memorable one!
Best regards,

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.
Both Takeda and the driver on the day were very pleased to hear about your experience.
Best regards,
The Staff

白川郷・五箇山自由散策ツアーに参加していただきありがとうございました。
五箇山の雪景色に感動されて本当に良かったです。同じ合掌造りの集落でも、白川郷と五箇山は雰囲気がぜんぜん違うと感じられたと思います。
白川郷や五箇山は季節によって全く違った顔があります。また、ぜひ足を運んでいただければと願っています。
さくさ様からの体験談を竹田と当日の運転手も大変喜んでいました。
