All Reviews for Japan Winter Tours 2025

The service from the tour guides was absolutely wonderful! Both the departure and arrival were on schedule, and the lunch course was stylish and delicious, which made me very satisfied! We were originally planning to participate as a group of three, but unfortunately one person couldn't join us due to health issues at the last minute, so I hope to go together next time!

添乗員さん達の対応がとても素晴らしかったです！出発も到着も予定通り、ランチコースもオシャレで美味しくて大満足でした！今回３人で参加の予定だったのに、直前で体調不良により一人参加出来ず残念だったので、次回一緒に行きたいと思います！

It was a pleasant trip on a sunny and warm day. I think it's best to wear comfortable clothes and shoes since you'll be walking a lot. I'm glad I participated not just in Kanazawa city but also ventured a little further.

晴れて暖かい日で気持ちいい旅でした。しっかり歩くので歩きやすい服装と靴で参加するのがいいと思います。金沢市内だけでなく少し足をのばして参加して良かったです

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and I felt a bit disappointed because of the rain, but upon arrival, I found that the rainy Shirakawa-go had its own charm and was really wonderful.

初めての白川郷、雨で少し残念な気がしていましたが、到着してみると雨の白川郷も情緒があってとてもよかったです。

The experience was just okay. First, the guide was late in the morning. There was no greeting, and she was mostly on her phone. She was very good at Chinese, but it seemed like she lacked Japanese hospitality. I can't say this experience was bad, but it could have been better.

体験はまあまあだった。まず、ガイドが朝遅かった。挨拶もなく、ほとんど携帯電話を使っていた。彼女は中国語がとても上手でしたが、日本的なホスピタリティに欠けているように思えました。この体験が悪いとは言えないが、もっと良かったかもしれない。

The day I participated was Saturday, and both Takayama and Shirakawa-go were bustling with tourists. The tour participants included not only Japanese but also many foreigners, and the tour guide was very kind, accommodating us in Japanese, English, and Chinese.

In Takayama, after strolling through the old streets, we enjoyed Hida beef for lunch. As expected of Hida beef, it was incredibly tender and delicious. There are also many food stalls and cafes in Takayama, making it hard to decide what to eat. I recommend the non-sweet Mitarashi dango and Gohei mochi!

In Shirakawa-go, it was unfortunately rainy, but we crossed a suspension bridge to view the gassho-zukuri houses and aimed for the observation deck on foot. The distance isn't too far, but the incline is quite steep, and there are no rest areas along the way, so I think it's better for those who aren't confident in their legs to use the shuttle bus. The view of Shirakawa-go from the observation deck was very beautiful. After taking commemorative photos at the top, we were able to relax at a nearby cafe. There were also many lovely souvenirs for sale.

Both walking times were set at two hours, which was just right for sightseeing, and I was able to enjoy it quite a bit. We arrived back on schedule as planned. I would love to participate again. Thank you very much!

参加した日は土曜日で、高山も白川郷も観光客が多く、賑わっていました。ツアーの参加者は日本人だけでなく外国の方も多いですが、添乗員さんは日本語、英語、中国語の3カ国語で対応してくれてとても親切でした。
高山では古い街並みを散策後、ランチに飛騨牛をいただきました。さすが飛騨牛、驚くほどやわらかくて美味しかったです。他にも高山には食べ歩きのお店やカフェも多くあって、何を食べようか迷うほどでした。甘くないみたらし団子や、五平餅もおすすめ！
白川郷ではあいにくの雨でしたが、吊り橋を渡って合掌造りを見学し、徒歩で山の上の展望台を目指しました。距離としてはそこまで遠くないのですが、上り坂の角度がかなり急で、途中で休憩する場所がないので、足腰に自信がない方はシャトルバスを利用するのがいいと思います。展望台から眺める白川郷はとても綺麗でした。頂上で写真を記念撮影したあと、すぐ横にあるカフェでのんびりできました。素敵なお土産もたくさん売っていました。
散策時間はどちらも2時間ですが、観光するのにちょうどいい時間設定で、かなり満喫することができました。帰りの到着も予定通りの時刻でした。また参加させていただきたいと思います。本当にありがとうございました。

I came from the UK and wanted to visit Shirakawa-go, so I requested a private jumbo taxi. The driver was a charming woman, and she was very skilled at driving. I spent a few hours comfortably and with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

イギリスから参りました是非白川郷に訪れたくプライベートのジャンボタクシーをお願い致しました。運転手さんは女性の方でしたが大変にチャーミングな方で運転もお上手でした。安心して快適な数時間を過ごしました。
有難う御座います。

On a pleasant, sunny weekday in autumn, I participated in a bus tour to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go. As expected from Veltra, there were only a few Japanese participants, and the tour was very international, with everyone being well-versed in traveling in Japan and its customs. Visiting popular spots on a weekday allowed for a moderate crowd, and the crisp mountain air and breeze were delightful. In Takayama, I enjoyed food sampling and tasting local sake, as well as Hida beef croquettes and obanyaki. We then headed to Shirakawa-go with plenty of time to spare. It was my first visit, and I was impressed by the grandeur of the river valley and the harmony of the gassho-zukuri houses that continued deeper into the village; it was truly beautiful. Despite the number of tourists, there wasn't a single piece of trash in sight, which was impressive. I spent a leisurely autumn afternoon and returned to Nagoya as scheduled. Thank you very much to our multilingual guide and the driver who drove safely and on time.

秋の気持ちの良い晴天の平日、飛騨高山と白川郷バスツアーに参加しました。さすがベルトラさん、参加者は日本人はわずかで、国際色豊かなツアーでしたが、皆さん日本を旅慣れているというか、日本の旅のマナーもよく心得ている方ばかりでした。平日に人気スポットを訪れることができ、ほどほどの混み具合、澄み切った山の空気や風が心地よかったです。高山では、食べ歩きや地酒のお試し飲み、飛騨牛コロッケや大判焼きも楽しみました。そして、余裕を持って白川郷向かいました。初めて訪れ、川の渓谷の雄大さ、その奥に続く合掌造りの家々が村全体が調和が降っていて、とても美しいと言う印象でした。あれだけ観光客が訪れてもゴミ1つ落ちていないのはさすがです。ゆったりとした秋の午後の時間を過ごして、予定通りに名古屋に戻ってきました。何か国語も操るガイドさん、安全運転で、定刻通りに走ってくれた運転手さん、本当にありがとうございました。

I participated in a bus tour to Takayama and Shirakawa-go.
There were people of various ages from different countries.
Even though it was Saturday and the roads were likely crowded, the entire itinerary was perfectly timed, with plenty of sightseeing and break time, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.
It was fun.
Thank you very much.

高山、白川郷のバスツアーに参加しました。
多国籍でいろんな年代の方が参加しておられました。
土曜日で道も混んでいたでしょうに、全行程時間ぴったりで、観光時間や休憩時間も充分にあり、安心して観光できました。
楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I visited in October, and there was a major traffic jam. Everyone was lining up for parking. Buses with parking permits for Shirakawa-go can go straight ahead, allowing them to bypass the traffic and park smoothly in the parking area within Shirakawa-go.

Restaurants, cafes, and shops also had long lines. Since lunch was included, we had a delicious meal right away in a large traditional house, featuring Hida beef grilled on a magnolia leaf and local vegetables, with unlimited rice refills.

The bus to the observation deck stops running in the afternoon, so we quickly ate and boarded the village bus to go to the observation deck. You can walk there, but if you're feeling tired, taking the bus is a better option.

Overall, the time spent there was sufficient. For those who are short on time or dislike waiting, I recommend joining a tour.

10月に行きましたが、大渋滞です。
みなさん駐車場に並びます。白川郷内に駐車許可が出ているバスはまっすぐ進めますので、渋滞から抜けて白川郷内の駐車場に止められますのでスムーズです。
飲食店やカフェ、売店も長蛇の列です。ランチ付きでしたので、着いたらすぐ大きな古民家でのランチで、飛騨牛の朴葉焼きや、地元野菜がでて、ごはんおかわり自由でおいしかったです。
展望台行きのバスが昼で終わるので、さっさと食べてすぐ村のバスに乗り、展望台へ行き降りてきました。歩いてもいけますが、しんどい方はバスがいいです。
全体の滞在時間は十分でした。時間のない方や、待つのが嫌な方はツアーをオススメします。

The bus guide introduced the highlights and local specialties, and used an easy-to-understand pamphlet to help us enjoy our time efficiently before we arrived, which was really helpful. They also pointed out great spots for taking photos, and we were able to capture some wonderful memories.

I don't think we could have visited multiple attractions in one day without the bus tour. We had plenty of time to sightsee at each location, and I was very satisfied to be able to buy the souvenirs that were recommended to us.

There was also an English-speaking tour guide who was very kind. My mother and I participated together, and I felt that listening to the guide's stories added depth to the enjoyment of our trip compared to sightseeing on our own.

　バスガイドさんが見どころや名物の紹介、分かりやすいパンフレットも使って時間内に効率良く歩いて楽しめるように到着前に教えてくれて本当に助かりました。写真撮影のポイントも教えてもらって、いい記念写真が撮れました。
　バスツアーでなければ1日で名所を複数も行けなかったと思います。各所で観光する時間も十分にあり、お勧めで紹介してもらったお土産も買うことができて大満足でした。
　英語通訳の添乗員さんもいてとても親切だと思いました。
　母と二人で参加しましたが、個人で観光するよりもガイドさんのお話を聞いて旅行の楽しさにより深みが増したように感じた1日でした。

I was able to feel the differences between Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. The walking time was just right, and it was helpful that lunch was included since all the places were crowded. The guide's explanations were easy to understand.

I walked up to the observation deck in Shirakawa-go. I thought it was tough along the way, but I arrived before I knew it. After taking photos at the open area of the observation deck, I recommend going a little further up where you'll find the observation deck and shops behind the vast parking lot. There are restrooms available.

The popular water pudding shop is located near Meizenji Kuri. You can take the bottles home, but there is also a return location, so you don't have to carry them around.

Unfortunately, the Murakami family in Gokayama is closed on Tuesdays when tours are organized. If you want to visit, be sure to check in advance!

白川郷と五箇山の違いを感じることができました。散策時間も丁度よく、昼食はどこも並んでいたので昼食付きは助かりました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすかったです。
　白川郷は展望台まで徒歩で登りました。途中、しんどいなぁと思っている間に到着しました。展望台風の開けた場所で写真撮影した後は、少し上にあがると広大な駐車場の奥に展望台やショップがあるので頂上まで行くことをオススメします。トイレ有。
　話題の水プリンのお店は明善寺庫裡の近くにあります。瓶は持ち帰りもできますが返却場所もあるので持ち歩かずにすみます。
　五箇山の村上家は、ツアーが組まれている火曜日が定休日で残念でした。行きたい方は事前チェックをお忘れなく！

The World Heritage sites consist of three villages. This tour allows you to visit all of them, including sightseeing from the bus window. During peak season, public transportation can have long lines starting early in the morning. This tour offers great value, allowing you to enjoy sightseeing without frustration. The guide provides tips on hidden gem lunch spots and recommended ways to explore.

As expected from a World Heritage site, there were many international participants; during my visit, there were only three groups of Japanese people (laughs). The primary language was English with Japanese as a secondary option, but the guide's support was precise, and there were no issues. It might even be a valuable experience?!

- Gokayama Suganuma Village (view from the bus)
- Gokayama Ainokura Village
- Shirakawa-go Village

I had a great time even as a solo participant, and I was very satisfied with how much we were able to see in one day. Thank you very much.

【Note】
Even if you make an online reservation through Veltra, you need to complete the procedure at the Takayama Bus Terminal counter on the day (to receive your ticket and sticker). Since it can get crowded, make sure to allow plenty of time!

世界遺産は3つの集落。このツアーは車窓見学含めて全部回る事が出来ます。またトップシーズンだと早朝から公共交通機関は長蛇の列。イライラせずに目一杯観光出来るのでツアー料金以上の価値あり。ガイドさんが昼食の穴場のお店やお薦めの周り方を教えてくれます。
そしてさすが世界遺産。海外の方の参加が多く、私の時は日本人3組(笑)英語主体で日本語サブでしたが、ガイドさんのフォローも的確で問題はありませんでした。寧ろ貴重な経験かも？！

・五箇山菅沼集落（車窓）
・五箇山相倉集落
・白川郷集落

ひとり参加でも十分楽しめ、1日でしっかり周る事が出来て大満足です。ありがとうございました。

【注意事項】
veltraさんでオンライン予約の場合でも、当日高山バスターミナルカウンターで手続き（乗車券とシール受領）が必要です。混んでいるので時間に余裕を持って行きましょう！

Since I was traveling alone, I joined a tour, but I'm not good with group activities and I dislike feeling rushed. I chose this tour because it seemed like we would take our time, and it turned out to be a great decision. The guide was very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

1人旅だったのでツアーに参加したのですが団体行動が苦手せかされるのも苦手でじっくり回ってくれそうだったこのツアーに参加しました結果大正解、ガイドさんとても親切で楽しめましたありがとうございました！

I was able to participate in a tour of Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, and my wish came true. When viewed up close, it has a powerful presence, but from a distance, I found it to be quite charming. Before joining this tour, I wasn't very familiar with Gokayama, but after visiting both places, I could really feel the difference in the atmosphere of the villages, which was wonderful. Next time, I would like to see the thatched-roof houses covered in snow.

ずっと訪れてみたかった白川郷のツアーに参加できて、念願が叶いました。
近くで見ると迫力があるのに、少し離れてみると可愛いなと思いました。
今回のツアーに参加するまでは、五箇山はよく知りませんでしたが、２か所訪れてみて、集落の雰囲気の違いも感じられてとても良かったです。
今度は積雪の合掌造りも見てみたいです。

The free exploration schedule was just right, and I really enjoyed it! The guide was friendly and very fun! The announcements in both English and Japanese were great. The amount of information provided was just right and easy to listen to.

自由散策のタイムスケジュールもちょうど良く、満喫できました！
ガイドさんは気さくでとても楽しい方！英語と日本語、両方のアナウンスとも◎アナウンスの分量も適度で聞きやすかったです。

The guide was a young woman who was very kind and pleasant. Since there were foreign participants, she explained everything in English that she had worked hard to learn. It was forecasted to rain, so they had plenty of umbrellas available for loan, and the shuttle bus to the viewpoint in Shirakawa-go, along with information about hidden photo spots and recommended souvenirs, was very helpful. I was unsure whether to just take the bus back and forth or join the tour, but I'm glad I chose the tour. We were able to have lunch right away, and the meeting point for the bus was very easy to find and convenient. There were many women participating alone, including myself, and I could see why it was popular, as there were stylish restaurants, cafes, and shops amidst the traditional Japanese scenery. The group bus meeting point was where we gathered in the morning, but I was confused and wandered around the rotary for the local and sightseeing buses for a while. I figured out the mistake after asking at the information center and ran to catch up, but I think it would be clearer if they provided additional explanations, such as not just "Kanazawa Station West Exit," but also in front of the Hilton Hotel or at the back of the rotary on the right side after exiting the station.

若い女性のガイドさんでしたが、とても親切で、感じの良い方でした。外国人も参加されていたため、一生懸命覚えた英語で説明していました。雨が降る予報でしたので、たくさん貸し出し傘を用意してたり、白川郷の展望台へのシャトルバス、穴場のフォトスポットやおすすめのお土産など、情報もありがたかったです。普通にバスで往復するのと、どちらにしようか迷いましたが、ツアーにして良かったです。お昼ごはんもすぐ食べられたし、バスの待ち合わせ場所もとてもわかりやすく便利な場所でした。女性の一人参加が多く、私もそうでしたが、日本の原風景の中に、ちょっとおしゃれなレストラン、カフェや雑貨屋さんがあって、人気があるのも頷けました。団体バス乗り場が朝の集合場所だったのですが、分からなくて、しばらく路線バスと定期観光バスのロータリーをウロウロしてました。案内所で聞いて間違いがわかって走りましたが、「金沢駅西口」だけでなく、ヒルトンホテル前、または駅を出て右側のロータリー奥、など説明を付けてもらえたらわかりやすいと思います。

It's a two-hour course. There aren't many bus tours that can take you to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in a day, so it was fantastic. It might be a bit busy for two hours, but when you think about driving round trip from Nagoya for six hours in a rental car, I believe the bus tour is more comfortable. While renting a car does offer flexibility with time, I think driving after walking a lot during sightseeing can be quite tiring. Plus, you won't be able to enjoy the local sake, right? Anyway, it turned out to be an amazing trip. Thank you very much!

2時間ずつのコースです。
飛騨高山と白川郷を日帰りで行けるバスツアーは
なかなかないので、最高でした。
2時間少し忙しいかもしれないけれど、自分で
名古屋から往復6時間レンタカーで運転するって
考えるとバスツアーのほうが快適だと思います。
レンタカーはレンタカーで時間に融通が利くのでそこはメリットだとは思いますが、観光でたくさん歩いたあとに運転するのはだいぶ疲れるかなと思います。あとご当地の地酒を飲めなくなりますしね笑笑。とにかく最高の旅になりました。ありがとうございました

It was a mother-daughter trip to Kanazawa for two nights and three days. We planned to do sightseeing in Kanazawa on the first and third days, and took this bus tour on the second day, which included visits to Shirakawa-go and Takayama. The guide provided us with information on highlights, souvenir recommendations, and dining options, allowing us to enjoy a fulfilling day of sightseeing without any confusion. I felt there were many foreign tourists as well, and I was impressed by how everyone followed the rules and kept to the schedule. If I have the opportunity, I would like to see the winter scenery next time.

金沢二泊三日の母娘の旅でした。
１日めと3日めを金沢観光、２日めにこのバスツアーで計画を立てました。白川郷と飛騨高山の観光でしたが、ガイドの方が見どころやお土産オススメ、食事などの情報を教えてくださり、迷うことなく充実した一日観光ができました。外国人も多かったような気がしますが、マナーを守り時間厳守で行動できたことに感動しています。
機会があったら今度は冬景色を観てみたいです。

I was able to sightsee efficiently. The Hida beef sushi was incredibly delicious, so I definitely recommend trying it. I would like to use this service for other plans as well.

効率よく観光できた。飛騨牛のお寿司が超美味しかったのでぜひ食べてほしい。また他のプランでも利用したい

The guide and driver were wonderful!
During the safe transportation, the guidance in both Japanese and fluent English was easy to understand.
The recommended café had a great seat where I could relax comfortably.

ガイドさん運転手さん素晴らしかったです！
安心の移動の中　日本語と流暢な英語で
のガイドわかりやすかったです。
おすすめのカフェは、とても良い席に座れてゆっくりくつろげました。

The weather was wonderful, and I enjoyed the spectacular scenery.

I have primarily used VELTRA for overseas tours, so this was my first domestic tour, but thanks to the knowledgeable guide's explanations, we were able to efficiently explore the snow-covered Shirakawa-go.

The lunch was also delicious.

天候にも恵まれ素晴らしい景色を堪能しました。

もっぱら海外でVELTRAさんを利用していて国内のツアーは初めてでしたが
博識なガイドさんの説明で残雪の白川郷を効率よく回れました。

お昼ごはんも美味しかったです。

I participated in a solo trip and was looking for a day trip that could be done from Kanazawa. Shirakawa-go was my first time visiting, and I was very interested in it. It took about an hour and a half to get there from Kanazawa. The bus seats were reserved in advance, and the guide provided detailed explanations. We stopped at a roadside station before arriving in Shirakawa-go. Right after we arrived, we had lunch, and then we had about two and a half hours of free time to explore. It was very meaningful.

一人旅で参加、金沢から近場で行ける日帰り旅を探しておりました。白川郷は初めてでとても興味があり、金沢からも1時間半位で到着しました。バスの席も事前に決められており、ガイドさんも詳しく説明いただき、道の駅に寄って白川郷に到着。到着後すぐにランチをいただきそこから2時間半ほど散策自由時間がありました。とても有意義でした。

I participated with a foreign friend. It was convenient and nice that they took us from Nagoya to Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Since it was a holiday, there were about 25 groups from various countries, but the tour guide explained everything in Japanese, English, and Chinese, so we had no problems. It was a tour that, for better or worse, was just about being taken to the destination, but it was great that we could explore freely once we got there. The roads were congested, causing significant delays, but we were given a full two hours of sightseeing time at each location. Thank you for a meaningful experience!

外国人の友達と2名で参加しました。
高山と白川郷まで名古屋から連れていってくれるので、便利で良かったです。
連休だったので25組くらい色んな国の方が居ましたが、添乗員さんが日本語、英語、中国語で説明してくれるので問題なく過ごせました。
良くも悪くも「現地まで連れていってもらうだけ」のツアーなので、現地では自由に散策できて良かったです。道が混んで居てだいぶ遅延しましたが、観光時間はきっちりそれぞれ2時間取ってくれました。
有意義な時間をありがとうございました！

It was great to be able to visit Shirakawa-go and Gokayama together. The guide skillfully used English while accommodating many foreign tourists. The driver also made us feel warm with just a simple "Have a good time" and "Welcome back" during our departures and arrivals. In the end, all the passengers gave a big round of applause to both of them.

白川郷と五箇山がセットで観光できたのは良かった。ガイドさんは、外国人観光客が多い中、英語を巧みに駆使し、精一杯対応していた。運転手さんも、観光での乗降の際、行ってらっしゃい、おかえりなさい、とたった一言ではあるが、気持ちがほっこりとした。最後には、乗客全員がお二人に大きな拍手を送った。

It was a trip in heavy rain, but thanks to Mr. Kuroda's thoughtfulness and care, we were able to have a wonderful time. My husband and I, being in an international marriage, enjoyed a fun bus trip without getting bored thanks to Mr. Kuroda's English. We are planning to go again in winter. Thank you very much.

土砂降りの中での旅行でしたが、黒田さんの心配りと気遣いでとても素晴らしい時間を過ごす事ができました。主人と私は国際結婚のため黒田さんの英語で2人とも退屈する事なく楽しいバスでの旅行が出来ました。次回は冬に行こうと話しております。ありがとうございました。

The guide was very kind, and the stay in Takayama and Shirakawa-go was just the right length of two hours—not too long and not too short. I enjoyed strolling around the streets and eating delicious food. I thought it would be nice to stay overnight in Shirakawa-go someday.

ガイドさんが親切な方でしたし、飛騨高山、白川郷の滞在は、長すぎず短すぎずの２時間で、個人的にはちょうどよい長さでした。ぶらぶらしながら街並みを楽しんだり、美味しいものを食べたりして過ごしました。白川郷はいつか宿泊してみたいなぁと思いました。

There were about 25 participants, and I was the only Japanese person. The driver was the only Japanese person, which somehow made me feel reassured. (laughs) I think the tour guide was probably Chinese.

Since there were participants from various countries, there were no greetings on the bus and no local guidance. It’s necessary to accept that the tour guide is not a guide in the traditional sense. (laughs) However, they clearly communicated the meeting times, distributed brochures tailored to each country before arriving at each location, and provided simple explanations in broken language.

This may not be suitable for those expecting the services of a large Japanese travel company’s bus tour, but it was absolutely fine for me. I was able to visit places that are difficult to reach individually, enjoy sightseeing comfortably by bus, and had a wonderful day.

That said, there were indeed participants from various countries this time, but everyone adhered to the meeting times, there were no loud talkers, and everyone was quite reasonable, which might have been lucky. It might be better for those participating in this tour to not expect too much of a Japanese-style experience.

In any case, I had a great time sightseeing without any issues. Thank you for a fun day!

約25名の参加者で日本人は私だけでした。
運転手さんは唯一日本の方で何となく心強かったです。笑
添乗員さんは多分中国の方だと思います。
色々な国の参加者の方が居られましたのでバス内で挨拶もないし現地の案内もありません。ガイドさんではなく添乗員さん、と割り切るのが必要です。　笑
でも集合時間を分かりやすく伝えてくれたり、各地到着前に各国に合わせたパンフレットを配ってくれたり、片言で簡単な説明してくれたり、と、
日本の大型旅行会社のバスツアーサービスを期待してる方には向かないかもですが、私には全く問題ありませんでした。
個人では行きにくい場所にゆったりとバスで連れて行って貰えて観光も満喫でき、楽しい1日となりました。

ただ、今回は本当に様々な国の方が居られましたが、皆様しっかりと集合時間を守り、大声で喋る方も居ないし、常識ある方ばかりだったのがラッキーだったのかも知れません。
そこは参加者の方で差があるかもなのでこのツアーはあまり日本式を求めないで参加する方がいいかもです。

とにもかくにも私は何も問題なく楽しく観光させていただきました。
楽しい1日をありがとうございました

I signed up for a day trip bus tour from Nagoya to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go during the middle of the three-day weekend. I received an immediate "Tour Confirmation Email."

I did some research beforehand, but the meeting place was easy to find, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing with a diverse group of participants.

Our guide was from China, but was fluent in Japanese and had a very kind personality that shone through.

I appreciated their wonderful attitude in answering questions very politely within their knowledge.

The bus driver was also experienced, adapting to traffic conditions with flexible driving, allowing us to stick to the schedule.

I read all the reviews on Veltra, and my elderly parents were able to enjoy the trip wholeheartedly, so I think doing a little research beforehand can make the experience even more enjoyable.

We had two hours in Hida Takayama and two hours in Shirakawa-go, which I felt was just the right amount of time, not shorter than expected.

Above all, even after buying a lot of souvenirs, we could leave them on the bus, and they made sure to count everyone, so no one was left behind. The travel time was also a big advantage, as we could chat or take a nap and relax.

I would like to participate in another tour next time.

And I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the guide and the driver. "It was fun. Thank you for the wonderful time."

三連休の中日に名古屋発、飛騨高山、白川郷の日帰りバスツアーを申し込みました。
すぐに「催行決定お知らせメール」が届きました。

下調べはしましたが、待ち合わせ場所も分かりやすく、国際色豊かな参加者の皆様と、とても楽しく観光することができました。

ガイドさんは中国の方でしたが、日本語が堪能で、とても優しい人柄がにじみ出ている感じでした。

分かる範囲でとても丁寧に質問に応えて下さる姿勢が素敵でした。

バスの運転手さんもベテランなので、渋滞に合わせた臨機応変の運転で、スケジュール通りに回ることができました。

Veltraの口コミも全て見ましたが、年老いた私の両親も心から楽しんで行ってくることができたので、少し調べて行くと、より楽しく過ごせると思います。

飛騨高山２時間、白川郷２時間の滞在時間でしたが、思ったよりも短くなく、丁度よい時間配分だったと思います。

何より、お土産沢山買ってもバスに置けるし、ちゃんと人数確認してくれるので、置いてきぼりにもなりません。
移動時間はおしゃべりしたり、居眠りしたりと、リラックスして過ごすことができるのも大きなメリットでした。

次回も別のツアーに参加してみたいと思います。

そして、ガイドさんと運転手さんには、この場を借りて感謝をお伝えしたいです。
「楽しかったです。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。」

Overall, I was able to enjoy the trip.

However, the person in front of me on the bus reclined their seat too much, making my own seating space feel cramped the entire time.

It might be difficult to address this, but since we have to stay in the same place for several hours, I hope this can be considered as one of the areas for improvement.

Overall, I was able to enjoy the journey. Thank you very much.

旅は総じて満喫できました。

ただ、バス中で前の方が席を倒しすぎて、自分の座るスペースが常に窮屈な思いをした。

是正するのは難しいかもしれませんが、何時間か同じ場所にいなければならないないので、改善点の一つとして参考にしてほしい。

総じて旅を楽しむことができました。大変ありがとうございました。

I participated in the tour that departed at 9:30 AM. I thought it might be a bit cooler than Kanazawa, but it turned out to be quite hot and humid that day. The decision to take National Route 304 up to a certain point, anticipating traffic on the highway, was a nice judgment call.

Since there were foreign guests on board, it was great to hear explanations in English during the trip. After arriving in Shirakawa-go, I was surprised that lunch was served so soon, but it was very delicious. The bus stop to the observation deck was also very close to the dining area, and I was able to secure a seat on the last bus of the morning, which was excellent.

Before arriving in Shirakawa-go, the guide shared information about places that don't attract many tourists, but it was a pity that we couldn't go there; however, I would like to try again next time. There was plenty of free time, and the guide was friendly, making it a satisfying tour. I recommend that those participating in the tour during summer bring water, a hat, and, if possible, a parasol. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join again.

9時30分発のツアーに参加しました。金沢より少しは涼しいのかと思いましたが、当日はかなり暑く、蒸し暑い日となりました。高速道路が渋滞するであろうとの予測から途中まで国道304号線を通る判断はナイスジャッジでした。
外国人の方と混乗であった為、道中英語での説明も聴くことができてとても良かったです。
白川郷到着後に直ぐの昼食で、えっもう昼食？と思いましたがとても美味しくいただけ、食事処から展望台行きのバス乗り場へも至近距離で、午前最後のバスの席が確保できとても良かったです。
白川郷到着前にガイドさんより余り観光客が訪れない場所を教えていただけましたが、そこまで行けなかったのは残念でしたが、次回チャレンジしたいと思います。自由時間も充分あり、ガイドさんはフレンドリーで満足できるツアーでした。夏にツアー参加される方は水と帽子、可能であれば日傘をお持ちいただいて参加されることをオススメ致します。機会があれば、また参加したいと思います。
