I went for the crane watching tour with Mr. Shuta. It was a wonderful experience. He was well prepared and provided telescope and binoculars. He was experienced in pointing out various wildlife along the route and finding good spots to view cranes at the right timing. Thank you.

This tour had 90% foreign participants, but everyone showed great respect for Japanese culture and had good manners, so I had no concerns. (Participants were from Australia, Italy, America, Singapore, etc.) For children, this environment provided a valuable experience.
The guide explained in Japanese first and then in English, and I was amazed by the variety of topics covered, from geography and history I studied in school to interesting trivia.
Winter in Shirakawa-go can be tricky with the weather, so I think it's best to have an umbrella and snow boots (rain boots) regardless of the forecast. If you have children, ski gloves will make playing in the snow more enjoyable!
Also, the viewpoint in Shirakawa-go can be reached by walking or by bus, but the buses only come every 20 minutes and are small, so if other tours overlap, you might have to wait for the next bus due to congestion. I think it's better to go early once you arrive.
On the bus, we received a sightseeing map of Shirakawa-go and Takayama (in Japanese or English), which allowed us to explore efficiently in a short amount of time.
If anyone is interested in Shirakawa-go, I highly recommend it, and I hope to visit again in another season. Thank you for your hospitality!
外国人が9割のツアーですが、みんな日本文化にリスペクトがある方ばかりでマナーも良く心配な点はありませんでした。(オーストラリア、イタリア、アメリカ、シンガポールなど)子どもにとってはその環境も貴重な体験になりました。
ガイドさんが日本語→英語の順に説明をしてくれて、内容も学生時代に勉強した地理や歴史から雑学的なものまでトピックの引き出しの多さに驚きました。
冬の白川郷は天気が難しく、予報にかかわらず、傘とスノーブーツ(長靴)はあった方がいいと思いました。お子様はスキー用の手袋があると雪遊びもできて楽しいです!
また、白川郷の展望台は徒歩かバスで行くのですが、バスは20分おきでしかも小さいバスなので、他のツアーの方などが重なると混雑で次のバスを見送らなくてはならない状況になりました。到着したら早めに行くのがいいと思いました。
バスの中では、白川郷と高山の観光マップ(日本語or英語)がもらえて、短時間で効率よく散策できました。
白川郷に興味がある方がいたら、おすすめしたいですし、また別のシーズンに再訪できたらいいなと思います。お世話になりありがとうございました。

Since I didn't have a car, I really appreciated being able to visit three locations. I was able to spend a rich amount of time there. It was a lot of fun. I liked that I could choose between free time and going around with the guide each time.
However, there is one area I would like to see improved. Since both the website and the email mentioned "Veltra," I ended up looking for a flag with the Veltra logo at the meeting point. It might just be my oversight, but it would have been better if "World Tour" was prominently displayed on the website and in the email as well.
Alternatively, it would be helpful if you could attach an image of the flag in the email before the event.
Other than that, everything was very good. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to use your services.

I joined a tour to see the night illumination in Shirakawa-go. On the day of the tour, there was snowfall, and it was very beautiful. There was a bus available to take us to a high point where we could see the entire village, but it wasn't too difficult to walk up there. While the snow made everything look stunning, it was quite cold. There was a place to warm up and take a break next to a large bus parking lot, but we didn't receive any information about it, so we spent our time hopping between souvenir shops. As we were getting close to our departure time, we discovered a waiting room for the bus stop a bit further away. It's unclear whether there were restrictions on using the waiting area or if it was simply not mentioned because it was a bit distant. In any case, it was very cold.
白川郷の夜のライトアップが見たくて、ツアーに参加しました。当日は積雪があり、とてもきれいでした。郷が一望できる高台に行くためのバスもありましたが、徒歩で登ってもそれほど大変ではなかったです。積雪で美しかったですが、寒かったです。暖をとって休憩するような場所は大きなバス駐車場に隣接してありましたが、私たちにはその案内がなかったため、お土産屋さんの梯子をして過ごしました。帰る時間が迫ってから、少し離れた場所にある、バス停待合室があることを発見しました。待合場所を利用するための制限があったのか、または少し離れていたために案内がなかったのか、詳細は不明です。ともかく寒かったです。
I used to live in Kanazawa, so I have a decent understanding of the area. However, during the winter, the roads become snowy, so I recommend using a tour. It's essential to prepare for the cold.

I received a text message one hour before our morning meeting, which made me feel relieved. It took about 70 minutes from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go. Although it was said to be the most crowded ever, thanks to our driver, Mr. Higashi's quick thinking and arrangements, we were able to enter the village smoothly. After being guided, we walked for about 20 minutes towards the observation deck. I was surprised by the sheer number of foreign tourists, but we were able to secure a place to eat and enjoyed delicious soba and Hida beef bowl (we had to wait for an hour due to the crowd).
On our way to Gokayama, we stopped by the important cultural property "Iwase House," where we received unexpected and generous hospitality from the head of the household and his wife, who showcased the board-sawing instrument despite the cold. Although we went over our scheduled time, we were finally dropped off at Higashichaya District, and my family of four had a meaningful and enjoyable time. I am truly grateful to Mr. Higashi from Fuji Taxi. If I had rented a car myself, I would have been stuck in traffic and would have faced a nightmare. The experience was worth more than the price. I highly recommend it!
当日朝集合1時間前にショートメールが届いてやりとりでき安心しました。金沢から70分程度一路白川郷へ。史上最高の激混みとのことでしたが、運転手の東さんの機転と計らいでスムーズに入村、アテンドしていただき、徒歩で約20分、展望台を目指しました。あまりにも外国人観光客の多さに驚きましたが、食事の場所も確保していただき美味しいお蕎麦と飛騨牛丼(混雑で1時間待ちましたが)をいただきました。その後五箇山へ向かう途中に重要文化財「岩瀬家」に立ち寄り、寒い中、当主ご夫妻に板ささらの楽器をご披露いただくなど思いがけない手厚いおもてなしを受け感動しました。予定の時間をオーバーしてしまいましたが、最後は東茶屋町まで送っていただき、家族4人、有意義な楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。富士タクシーの東さんに心から感謝しています。もし自分でレンタカーしていたら渋滞に巻き込まれ地獄を見るところでした。お値段を上回る価値がありました。本当に超おすすめです!

I understand that two years ago, you aimed to visit Shirakawa-go via Matsumoto from Hiroshima, but unfortunately had to give up due to traffic. Thinking about how you felt at that time, I can imagine how frustrating and disappointing it must have been.

I traveled at a time when there were just a few Chinese tourists, and about 80% of the group was from English-speaking countries. Everyone acted on time and had very good manners.
We visited Gujo Hachiman, Hida Takayama, and Shirakawa-go in that order. The bus rides between each location took about an hour and a half, and we moved along at a good pace, stopping for breaks. The foreign guide was fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and provided the same explanations in each language. The speed, volume, and tone of their voice were very easy to understand, which was great. My Chinese partner, who has been living in Japan since this year and understands Japanese, found it challenging to grasp difficult Japanese, so they appreciated the Chinese announcements.
The guide also provided detailed information about recommended souvenirs, the Gujo Odori dance in Gujo Hachiman, and the closing times of the pudding shop. After getting off the bus, they used a local map to explain the route, making for a wonderful guiding experience. The bus was parked in an easy-to-find location, and the driver also made efforts to drive safely. When the sun set, they dimmed the lights inside the bus, which was a nice touch.
Since it was during the middle of a three-day weekend, Takayama was crowded with people, but Gujo Hachiman and Shirakawa-go were quieter than I expected, allowing us to experience the peaceful countryside. Although our sightseeing was a bit rushed, it left me wanting to return, so I definitely hope to visit again.
ちょうど中国旅行者が少ないタイミングで、8割英語圏の方でしたが、皆さん時間通りに行動しマナーもとてもよかったです。
郡上八幡、飛騨高山、白川郷の順に行きました。それぞれの箇所のバス移動は1時間半くらいで、休憩をしたら着くという感じでテンポよく進みました。外国人のガイドさんは日本語、中国語、英語が堪能で、それぞれの言語で同じ説明を繰り返しアナウンスしてくださいました。とても聞き取りやすい速さ・音量・声質ですごく良かったです。一緒に行った中国人のパートナーは今年から日本に住んでおり日本語もわかりますが、難しい日本語は理解するのに大変なので、中国語アナウンスがあって良かったとの事でした。
ガイドさんはおすすめのお土産や、郡上八幡の郡上おどりのこと、プリンのお店が閉まる時間など細かくいろいろアナウンスしてくださいました。降りてからも、現地の地図を使いルートの説明もあり、素晴らしいガイドでした。
バスの駐車場もわかりやすい所に停めてくださり、また、運転手さんも安全運転に努めてくださいました。日が落ちると、車内の照明を暗くしてくださり気配りが良かったです。
三連休の中日の昼時ということもあり、高山の街並みは人で混雑していましたが、郡上八幡や白川郷は思ったより人が少なく静かな田舎を体験できました。

The guide was cheerful and had a pleasant demeanor. I think it must have been challenging for them to speak in three languages continuously, but they didn't seem overwhelmed and spoke earnestly until the end, for which I am grateful. They were likely a native Chinese speaker, but they spoke beautiful Japanese and English. Although I don't understand Chinese, they repeated the exact same content in both Japanese and English. It was great that they presented two options that could be completed within the time frame and asked us to choose one.
There were participants who arrived about five minutes late to the meeting point, but there were no significant delays, and we were able to efficiently visit three locations. However, it was indeed a bit rushed, so I felt it was more of a trial this time, and I would like to take my time on the next visit.
ガイドの方がにこにこして感じがよかった。3か国語をしゃべり通しだったので、大変だったと思うが、大変そうにせず、最後まで一生懸命話してくれて感謝でした。恐らく中国語が母国語の方と思いますが、きれいな日本語と英語を話していました。中国語はわかりませんが、日本語と英語は、全く同じ内容を繰り返してくれていました。時間内で回れる2つのオプションを提示してくれ、どちらか一つに行くように言ってくれたのはよかった。
5分くらい集合場所に遅れてくる参加者もいましたが、大幅な遅延はなく、3か所能率よく回ることができました。が、やはり駆け足だったので、今回はお試しという感じで、次回はもっとじっくり回りたいと思いました。
Since maps are not distributed, I think if you research what there is to see at your destination and where you want to go in advance, you can enjoy sightseeing without wasting time.
地図が配られたりはしないので、事前に訪問地に何があるか、どこに行きたいか調べておけば、時間の無駄なく観光できると思います。

I couldn't take good photos while sitting down. I wish we could have driven a bit slower and taken some more stops instead of getting on the highway.
座ったままで良い写真が撮影出来ませんでした
高速道路に乗らずもう少しゆっくり走ったり停車時間を取ったりして欲しかったです
It would have been nice to have designated stops along Midosuji where we could take photos.
御堂筋各所に停車場所を設けて、立ち写真の撮影を出来る時間があれば良かったです

I couldn't make a reservation last year due to hospitalization, so it was a three-year wait for this experience! My wife counted down the days, and we finally participated. It was even more beautiful than we expected, and it was surprising to see traffic lights and signs so close, almost within reach! The view from the highway and the tour guide's commentary were also enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful time!
入院等あり去年は予約が取れず3年越しの体験でした!妻は指折り数えていざ参加。期待以上に綺麗で、普段の目線と違うので信号機や標識が手が届きそうな所にあるのにびっくり‼️高速道路からの眺めと添乗員さんのしゃべりも楽しいですよ。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
It's cold, so please dress warmly and bundle up before you go.
寒いので暖かくして着込んで行ってください。

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, so we couldn't relax, but the scenery of the gassho-zukuri in Shirakawa-go was beautiful. Above all, I was surprised that most of the tourists were foreigners.
あいにくの雨模様の天気で、ゆったりとは、いきませんでしたが、白川郷の合掌造りの景色は、良かったです。

Eighty percent of the participants on the bus tour were tourists from overseas, and the guide spoke both English and Japanese. I was worried about time management, but there were no issues at all, and we had a great time on the bus. The guide explained various things very well in both languages.
Shirakawa-go: There were reports of bear sightings, but when we visited, the bus was running as usual, and we could also walk to the observation deck. If you're confident in your walking abilities, I highly recommend taking a walk. The village was unfortunately crowded with tourists, and I couldn't help but wonder if the residents were inconvenienced by it. Although general vehicles are not allowed, I think they should charge an entrance fee to the village. The "Shiso Monaka" recommended by the guide was incredibly delicious!
Hida Takayama: There were many unique items such as sake, miso, soy sauce, woodworking crafts, and furniture. This place also attracts a lot of Asian tourists.
For lunch, all participants of the bus tour ate together in Shirakawa-go. The seating was assigned, creating a relaxed atmosphere where solo travelers could easily chat with other participants. Additionally, it was possible to converse in English with foreign participants.
バスツアーの80%が海外からの観光客で、ガイドは英語と日本語でした。時間のルーズさなどを心配しましたが、そのようなことは全くなく車内でも楽しい時間を過ごせました。ガイドさんは2か国語で色んなことをとても上手に説明してくれます。
白川郷:クマ出没の件がありましたが、私達が行った時はバスも通常運行な上、徒歩でも展望台に行けました。足に自信がある方はぜひ歩きがお勧めです。村の中は気の毒なくらい観光客がわらわらしており、住民の方々の暮らしは不便ではないのかと気になってしょうがなかったです。一般車は入れないようになっているものの、村への入場料を取るべきじゃないでしょうか。
ガイドさんにお勧めされた【紫蘇もなか】がとても美味しまったです!
飛騨高山:酒、味噌、醤油、木工細工、家具など珍しい物がたくさんありました。ここもアジア系の観光客がたくさん来ています。
お昼ご飯は白川郷でバスツアーの参加者全員で食べました。席が決まっており、1人旅の方も他の参加者と気軽に話せる雰囲気でした。また外国人の参加者と英語で話すこともできます。
Dear MT,
Thank you for participating in our tour and for your warm review.

The tour itself was good, but the tour guide was clearly coughing from a cold on the bus without wearing a mask. A few days later, I developed cold symptoms and couldn't enjoy my trip.

Dear Momoko,
Thank you very much for using our bus tour. We sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback.
We apologize for the delay in our response as we needed some time to confirm the situation on November 9th (Sunday).
As you pointed out, upon checking with the tour guide who accompanied you that day, we found that they had a slight cough. We have instructed our staff to ensure "strict mask-wearing" and to "properly manage their health" moving forward.
We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused during your trip.
We look forward to welcoming you again when you visit us next time. Thank you once again for your understanding.

I went on my first trip to the Hokuriku region. The stories from our bus guide, Mr. Goto, were interesting, and the height of the surrounding mountains along with the autumn leaves were breathtaking.
The food in Shirakawa-go, especially the sweet grilled ayu (sweetfish), was delicious, and even I, who have many dislikes, was able to enjoy everything.
If I have another opportunity, I would like to see Shirakawa-go during a different season as well.
Thank you, Mr. Goto, Ms. Tsuru, and Ms. Kana!

I participated in the tour on November 13th. Since my daughter, who lives overseas, was with me, there was an English-speaking guide, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The guide's explanations were very clear, and they also used a number board to show the meeting times, which helped us remember visually. Overall, the tour was very well organized. The free time for exploring Shirakawa-go and Takayama was just right. And above all, the lunch, especially the Hida beef, was incredibly delicious! If anyone is considering this tour, I highly recommend it.
11/13のツアーに参加しました。海外に住む娘も一緒でしたので、英語の通訳ガイドの方もいらっしゃり、よりツアーが楽しめました。ガイドさんのお話、説明もとてもわかりやすく、また集合時間も数字のボードを使って見せてくださったので目でも覚えられて、全体的にとてもオーガナイズされていました。白川郷、高山での自由散策の時間もちょうど良かったです。そして何より飛騨牛を始めとしたランチがとても美味しかったです!
こちらのツアーをご検討されている方いらっしゃいましたら、ぜひおススメしたいです。
It seems that visiting the Wada family in Shirakawa-go is popular, but the Kanda family was also quite nice. If you have time, definitely try the water brin. The bottle was cute, so I brought it back
白川郷では和田家の見学が人気のようですが、神田家も中々よかったです。水ブリンを食べる時間があればぜひ。瓶も可愛いかったので持ち帰りしてきました。

Inbound tour mainly for Chinese tourists
There were also a few Japanese participants.
The guide was fluent in Japanese.
Due to a road closure from an accident, we couldn't go to the main Shirakawa-go.
Instead, we went to Gujo Hachiman.
No one complained about the cancellation of Shirakawa-go; everyone quietly listened to the explanation, so I felt that all the participants were reasonable people.
The bus company and the guide did everything they could, so while it was disappointing not to visit Shirakawa-go, I was pleased with the experience.
People often say that foreigners lack manners, but everyone was very well-mannered.
中国人メインのインバウンドツアー
日本人も何組かおりました。
ガイドさんは日本語堪能
道路が事故で封鎖になりメインの白川郷には行けませんでした。
代わりに郡上八幡に行きました。
白川郷中止に誰一人、文句言わず静かに説明聞いていたので参加者は皆、常識人だなと
バス会社、ガイドさんも出来る限りのことはしてくれたので白川郷は残念ですが嬉しく思いました。
世間では外国人のマナーが・・・

It was our first trip to Okinawa, and we were all really looking forward to the snorkeling tour as a family. However, the weather was bad on the day of the tour, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, making it a tough environment for small children. I ended up feeling seasick, and my son started crying, which made it very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the ocean together for his first time.
I was also anxious because they only asked for our shoe sizes and provided almost no explanation on how to use the equipment or swim. Although they advertised that it was suitable for children from 3 years old and that even those who are not good at swimming would be fine, I felt that the content was a bit challenging for small children and beginners.
Additionally, the transparent floatation device mentioned in the rental section was not available. Instead, we received a regular black float. I regretted not preparing something for my son to see underwater.
There was a staff member who was very kind and attentive to my son, and I am truly grateful to them. However, I was shocked and frightened when another staff member shouted, "Don't just focus on one family! The parents are here, so leave it to them!" This was very surprising and disheartening, especially since it was our first time participating and there were many things we didn’t understand.
Furthermore, there was a slightly scary moment while changing. I was changing in the only place where the door could close, and another woman was being urged by a staff member to "hurry up and change" and "change inside." If she had opened the door, I would have been exposed, but thankfully, that woman refused and said "NO," which saved me. I am truly grateful for her courage at that moment.
I understand that there are aspects like the weather and sea conditions that cannot be helped. However, I believe that if there had been a bit more consideration for beginners and families with children, along with better explanations and support regarding safety and privacy, the overall impression would have been significantly different.
I wrote this review with the hope that others who are participating for the first time with small children will be able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I sincerely thank the staff who treated us kindly, the captain, and all the participants who were on board with us.
初めての沖縄旅行で、家族みんなでとても楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングツアーでした。
当日は天候が悪く、船の揺れがとても強くて、小さな子どもにはかなり厳しい環境でした。私自身も船酔いしてしまい、息子は泣いてしまって、初めての海を楽しませてあげられなかったのがとても残念でした。
足のサイズを聞かれただけで、器具の使い方や泳ぎ方の説明がほとんどなかったのも不安でした。
「3歳からOK」「泳ぎが苦手な方も安心」とありましたが、実際は小さな子どもや初心者には少し難しい内容に感じました。
また、貸し出し欄に書いてあった透明な浮き袋というものもありませんでした。普通の真っ黒な浮き輪です。
こんな事なら息子が海の中を見れるように
何かしら用意したのになと残念でした。
スタッフの中には息子を気遣って優しくついてくださった方もいて、その方には心から感謝しています。
ですが、別のスタッフの方が「ひと家族だけにつくな!親がいるんだから親に任せろ!」と大声で言った時は、とても驚き、怖さを感じました。初めての参加で分からないことも多かったので、その一言がとてもショックでした。
さらに、着替えの際にも少し怖い場面がありました。私が唯一扉が閉まる場所で着替えていた時、他の女性がスタッフの方から「早く着替えて」「中で着替えろ」と促されていました。もしその方が扉を開けていたら、私は全裸を晒してしまうところでしたが、その女性が「NO」と拒否してくれたおかげで助かりました。あの時の勇気に本当に感謝しています。
天候や海の状況など、どうにもならない部分もあると思います。
ですが、もう少し初心者や子ども連れへの配慮、説明や安全・プライバシー面のサポートがあれば、印象は大きく変わっていたと思います。
このレビューは、同じように小さな子どもを連れて初めて参加する方が、安心して楽しめるようになってほしいという思いで書いています。
優しく接してくださったスタッフの方、船長さん、そして一緒に乗船されていた参加者の皆さんには心から感謝しています。
