I participated on February 23rd. I was so happy to have beautiful weather with clear skies and no wind. I took the bus from Abashiri Station at 8:30 and first boarded the Aurora. This year, the drift ice arrived later than usual, and I was very anxious about whether I would see it when I went to Abashiri, but it arrived on February 15th, and I was able to see it safely. I was able to witness the beauty of nature. The Aurora moves through the ice, and this is an experience you can only have on the ship. There were many international visitors on board as well. It was moving, and it was worth coming to the Okhotsk region. I think it's a landscape you should see at least once in your lifetime.
Next, I went to Abashiri Prison, but there wasn't enough time. The way the exhibits were presented was good, but time was limited. I would like to see it again if I have the chance. I also rode the Drift Ice Story train from Kitahama Station to Abashiri, and I could see the drift ice from the train. I visited the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum and Cape Notoro, and the seafood bowl for lunch was delicious. It was a perfect tour. The bus guide, Mr. Nanbu, was very nice, and at the end, he sang "The Sea of Okhotsk" by Chiharu Matsuyama a cappella. Thank you, Abashiri Bus.
私が参加したのは2/23。
本当に快晴で風もなく良いお天気に恵まれて嬉しい限りです。
8時半に網走駅くらバスに乗り、まずはおーろら号に乗船。今年は例年になく、流氷の着岸が遅く、私が網走に行くときに流氷はあるのかとても不安でしたが、2/15に着岸し、無事に見ることができました。自然の素晴らしさを見ることができました。流氷を砕氷しながら進むおーろら号。船に乗らないと体験できないです。海外の方もたくさん乗られてました。感動的でオホーツクに来た甲斐がありました。一生に一度は見てみたい風景だと思います。
次に行った網走刑務所は時間が足りなかった。展示の仕方も上手ですが、時間が足りない。きかいがあればまた見てみたい。
北浜駅→網走駅の流氷物語号にも乗れて、列車からも流氷が見えました。オホーツク流氷館、能取岬も回ってもらえてお昼の海鮮丼も美味しかったし、いうことなしのツアーでした。バスガイドの南部さんがとてもよい方で、最後にアカペラで松山千春の「オホーツクの海」を歌って下さりました。網走バス、ありがとう。
流氷ありきのツアー。これが流氷なければ悲しかったなと思います。
現在の網走刑務所を散策する時間はあまり要らないなと思った。昔の網走刑務所の時間がもう少し多かったらと思いました。

The guide was an excellent person who was fluent in English, Chinese, and Korean. They distributed maps and provided detailed explanations to each individual, which was very kind and greatly appreciated. The other guests were quiet and punctual, and although there was a bit of a traffic jam waiting for parking at the entrance to Shirakawa-go, we were able to get through quickly, which was good.
However, it was disappointing that while the two-hour exploration of Takayama was nice, two hours in Shirakawa-go was not enough, and I couldn't make it to the observation deck. The shuttle bus had a long line, and I tried to walk but ended up taking the wrong path. If the tour can't be extended due to the driver's working hours, I think it would be better to have an hour and a half in Takayama and two and a half hours in Shirakawa-go.
The foreign students I brought along (from Vietnam) were very moved and said they created lifelong memories, so it was worth taking them. Thank you very much.

A few days ago, I was worried about the tour due to heavy snowfall, but I felt relieved when I received a confirmation SMS the day before. The driver was well-trained and provided a lot of helpful information. Unlike group tours, I had the freedom to choose where to go and the timing, which was great.

It's extremely difficult to capture whales with a smartphone or camera, so it's best to give up quickly and leave the photography to the staff. They will upload the photos for you. I'm impressed by the remarkable shots they managed to take, such as the small whale jumping and the photo of the mother whale's tail.
スマホやカメラでクジラを撮影するのは至難の業なので、さっさと諦め撮影はスタッフに任せるのが正解です。写真はアップしてもらえます。このタイミングの写真がよく撮れたなと感心する小クジラのジャンプの写真や親クジラの尾の写真など印象的なシーンの写真がアップされていて驚きです。

I had heard beforehand that we might see a jump once for every ten attempts, so I gave up and was busy filming the baby whale's tail slap when suddenly it jumped out from the back, causing everyone to go wild (laughs).

I took a one-hour cruise from 1:00 PM. This year, due to the mild winter, the drift ice was delayed, and during the reservation confirmation call the day before, I was told that "the drift ice hasn't arrived yet," so I thought I might not be able to see it. However, on the day of the cruise, I was lucky to see the drift ice for the first time this season. The weather was also nice, and I could clearly see Kunashiri Island.
While waiting to board, a staff member recommended some great spots inside the boat, allowing me to feed the Steller's sea eagles and see the drift ice up close.
My friends who joined from the Kanto region were also delighted, making it a truly wonderful experience.
13:00〜の1時間クルーズに乗船しました。
今年は暖冬で流氷が遅れており、前日の予約確認のお電話では「流氷がまだ来ていない」とのことで見られないかもしれないと思っていましたが、当日はシーズンで初めて流氷を見れてラッキーでした。
お天気も良く、はっきりと国後島も見られました。
乗船前に並んでいたときにスタッフさんに船の中でオススメの場所を教えてもらえたので、オオワシへの餌やりや流氷を目前で見ることができました。
関東から参加した友人たちも喜んでくれていたので、とても素晴らしい体験となりました。

This time, I was disappointed that there were no signs of drift ice. I guess late February to mid-March might have been better. The Aurora was operating on a shortened schedule, so there was no refund. While I would be excited just to ride the Garinko, the Aurora is more like a ferry that circles the bay, so the scenery wasn't that impressive, and the shortened time left me a bit dissatisfied, but since I had already made the reservation, it couldn't be helped. I enjoyed the atmosphere while drinking drift ice beer from the onboard shop. The tour was satisfying as it efficiently covered various places, not just the Aurora. The tour guide's explanations and highlights were excellent, making my time in Abashiri enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour without any disappointments.
今回は流氷には影も形もお目に描かれず残念でした。やはり2月下旬から3月半ば辺りが良かったのかな。オーロラ号には乗船短縮運航となりましたので返金は無し。ガリンコ号とかなら乗るだけでもワクワクしますがオーロラ号はフェリーのようなもので湾内をまわるのて景色もそれほどでもなく時間短縮なのでちょっと不満感つのりますがそれもアリで予約してるので仕方ありません。船内販売の流氷ビール飲みながら雰囲気だけでも味わいました。ツアーにはオーロラ号だけでなくいろんなところが効率よく回れるので満足でした。ツアーガイドのお話や見どころ案内が非常に良く網走を楽しく回れました。ハズレのないおすすめツアー。
Even if the drift ice is close to shore, it may not be visible depending on the wind direction, so I participated with that understanding. Even if we can't see the drift ice, we can efficiently explor

Initially, I had planned to take a highway bus, but there were no available seats, so I used this service for the first time. They picked me up at the station and dropped me off right in front of the hotel, which made it very convenient as I didn't have to worry about my luggage. I hadn't done much research beforehand, but I was guided to recommended places and shops, allowing me to experience locations I wouldn't have visited on my own, which was a lot of fun. The female driver was very chatty and even took photos for me, making for an enjoyable time.
当初高速バスの予定でしたが空席がなくこちらを初めて利用しました。
駅に迎えに来てもらい、ホテルの目の前まで送ってもらえるので、荷物を預ける必要がなく、とても楽でした。また、事前にあまり調べていませんでしたが、おすすめの場所・お店をガイドしてもらい、自分たちだけだと行かない場所や経験ができて、とても楽しかったです。
女性ドライバーさんでしたが、たくさんお話をしてくださり、写真も撮ってもらえて、楽しい時間でした。
During the snowy season, it seems that there may be road closures due to the weather, which can prevent access.
雪の季節は天候によっては道路封鎖などあり、行けない場合があるみたいです。

Both the guide and the driver were kind.
Gokayama Ainokura had almost no other tourists besides us, allowing for a quiet and very moving sightseeing experience. I highly recommend visiting.
The shuttle bus to the Shirakawa-go observation deck was suspended in the morning due to an avalanche on the pathway. The guide provided detailed information on when to take the shuttle bus to ensure we could reach the observation deck in time for the return bus, which allowed us to tour efficiently.
In February, Shirakawa-go is very crowded, and those who want to enjoy a leisurely meal inside may not have enough time to visit the observation deck. I bought food that I could eat while waiting in line for the shuttle bus.
It was also nice that the bus seats were assigned. On tours without assigned seating, the auxiliary seats are often overflowing with foreign tourists, making it quite cramped.
ガイドさんドライバーさん共に優しかったです。
五箇山相倉は我々以外の観光客が殆どおらず、静かに観光できてとても感動的でした。是非行ってみて頂きたいです。
白川郷の展望台に向かうシャトルバスの通路が午前中に雪崩が起き運行中止となり、再開時刻や帰りのバスに間に合うように展望台へ向かうには何時までのシャトルバスに乗ったら良いか等、細かい情報をガイドさんがお知らせしてくれたので効率良く観光できました。
2月白川郷は大変混んでおりゆっくり店内で食事したい方は展望台に行く時間は足りない可能性があります。私は食べ歩きできる物を買って食べながらシャトルバスの列に並びました。

I participated in this bus tour, but unfortunately, the service was very poor, and I cannot recommend it.
1. Tour Guide's Response
The tour guide was Chinese and had limited Japanese skills, making communication difficult. Additionally, they seemed inexperienced with the tour's progression, and information sharing about meeting places and times was insufficient.
2. Mistake in Meeting Place Guidance
There was no announcement regarding the meeting place or itinerary changes, and we ended up waiting in the wrong location. Afterward, we headed to the correct meeting place, but the bus ended up passing by the original location where we were waiting. If there had been an explanation when I called about the delay, we wouldn't have needed to move unnecessarily. It was very challenging to rush down a crowded street with a small child in the snow and poor footing.
3. Impact of Other Participants' Delays
Other participants arrived significantly late, causing a major delay (about 2 hours). By the time we reached our destination, many shops were closed, ruining the sightseeing experience. The return home was also quite late, which was particularly tough for those with children.
4. Poor Balance Between Cost and Service
I booked this tour because it was cheaper compared to other bus tours, but even at a low price, such poor management is unsatisfactory. Unfortunately, this is a tour I cannot recommend.
I hope for improvements, but as it stands, I cannot consider using this service again.
今回、こちらのバスツアーに参加しましたが、残念ながら非常に対応が悪く、参加をおすすめできません。
1. 添乗員の対応
添乗員の方は中国人の方でしたが、日本語があまりできず、意思疎通が困難でした。加えて、ツアーの進行にも不慣れな様子で、集合場所や時間等情報共有が不十分でした。
2. 集合場所の案内ミス
集合場所や行程変更の案内がなく、私たちは誤った場所で待機することに。その後、正しい集合場所に向かいましたが、結局バスが元々私たちがいた場所を通過する形に。遅れてしまうことをお電話した際に説明があれば無駄に移動する必要はなかったのに、雪が降り足元の悪い中、小さな子どもを連れて混雑した道を急ぐ羽目となり、とても大変でした。
3. 他の参加者の遅刻による影響
他の参加者が大幅に遅れて到着したため、予定より大幅に遅延。(約2時間遅れ)目的地に着いた頃には閉まっている店も多く、せっかくの観光が台無しに。帰宅時間もかなり遅くなり、特に子連れには厳しい状況でした。
4. コストとサービスのバランスが悪い
他のバスツアーと比較して料金が安かったため予約しましたが、安いとはいえ、ここまでお粗末な運営では満足できません。残念ながら、参加をおすすめできないツアーでした。
改善を期待したいですが、今のままでは再利用は考えられません。
Dear Shirakawa,
I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had.
It is true that many unexpected events occurred that day, and I do not intend to make excuses, but I would like to explain the circumstances.
1. The staff on that day were not very proficient in Japanese, which made communication difficult. There was a mistake regarding the bus stop when we gathered in the morning.
2. Due to heavy snowfall in the days leading up to your visit, Shirakawa-go experienced traffic congestion, and on that day, there was an accident causing a traffic jam at the Shirakawa-go Tunnel. It was a mistake to drop you off at a different location to avoid delays. With customers from various countries, it was rash to make the decision to disembark without being able to explain properly to each individual.
We will strengthen our management and training moving forward.
I truly empathize with your feelings and once again, I apologize.
しらかわ様、悪い経験をさせてしまい、大変申し訳ございません。 その日、たくさんのハプニングが起こったのは事実で、弁解するつもりはないですが、事情をご説明させてください。 1. その日のスタッフは日本語があまり上手ではありません、うまく伝えれないところはあります。朝集合しているときに、バスバースの間違いでした。 2 連日大雪で、白川郷は渋滞で、入るのは1時間以上かかる日もあり、当日は事故で白川郷トンネルで交通渋滞が発生しており、無駄がないようにいつもと違うところに降車させたのはまた大間違いでした。色んな国のお客様がおり、一人ずつにうまく説明できなければ、降車する判断は軽率でした。今後は管理と教育を強化していきます。
お客様の気持ちを痛感しております。改めてお詫び申し上げます。

If you're visiting Abashiri in winter for the first time, I recommend this tour. You don't have to drive on winter roads yourself, and taking the train (Ryuhyo Monogatari) one way is something you can only do on a bus tour. The destinations cover the classic tourist spots, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable, making for a fulfilling day.

When visiting tourist spots, it's easy to run out of time if you take your time to see each one, so it's a good idea to prioritize your visits.

It was my first time in Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go. We had 2 hours of free time in Hida Takayama and 2 hours in Shirakawa-go. The time in Takayama was just right, but 2 hours in Shirakawa-go was not enough. This was because the walking path to the viewpoint I wanted to visit was closed due to snow, so the only option was the shuttle bus, which had a long line of about an hour to board. In the end, it was certain that I wouldn't make it back in time for the bus departure, so I reluctantly gave up (tears). Since the shuttle bus only came every 20 minutes, I think anyone wanting to go to the viewpoint during this season needs at least 3 hours of free time... Other than that, I was very satisfied! I was also able to buy the water pudding. About 90% of the tour participants were foreigners, but there were no particular issues.

I had wanted to visit Shirakawa-go for a long time, so when I saw the limited-time light-up tour, I thought I had to go and participated. In the end, it was definitely the right decision! Shirakawa-go had amazing scenery even during the day, so I was already satisfied with that. I thought the light-up area was a bit smaller than I expected, but the atmosphere changed from the daytime to a magical scene at night. Since I had some time, I warmed up in the hot springs in Shirakawa-go, and as someone who loves hot springs, the slightly slippery water quality was just fantastic. The guide on the bus back shared interesting stories, so the time didn't feel long at all. I ended up sleeping on the way back, though, haha. It was also convenient to go from Kanazawa. Thank you very much!
以前から白川郷には行きたいと思っていたので、日程限定のライトアップツアーを見た時は行くしかない!と思って参加しました。
結果、行って正解でした!
白川郷は普通に昼間でも最高の景色だったのでそれだけでも満足でした。
ライトアップは思っていたより範囲が少ないかな?と思いましたが、昼間の雰囲気とは変わって夜は幻想的な景色になりました。
時間があったので白川郷の温泉で温まったのですが、温泉好きの私としてはぬるっとした湯質がこれまた最高でした。
往復のバス内でもガイドの方が興味深く話をしてくださったので、時間も長く感じなかったです。帰りは寝てましたが、笑
金沢から出ているのも行きやすくてよかったです。
ありがとうございました。
I'm glad I brought foot warmers and a light. If you're interested in the hot springs, having a towel would be nice. For those going to the observation deck, the slope is quite steep, so if you're not
足のカイロとライトは持参して良かったと思いました。温泉に興味ある方はタオルがあってもいいですね。
展望台に行かれる方は結構坂道なので、足腰に自信がなければバスをお勧めします。
Dear gencham,
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. This tour is very popular, and especially for the illuminated Shirakawa-go, there were many inquiries even after reaching capacity due to the village entry restrictions.
Seeing Shirakawa-go in both daylight and darkness truly feels like being in a completely different world, just as reflected in the photos you shared. It seems you explored both and also enjoyed the hot springs, experiencing the full course. Thank you very much.
We appreciate your accurate advice.

先日は弊社ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。このツアーは非常に人気があり、特にライトアップの白川郷は入村制限が設けられているので、定員達成した後も多くのお問い合わせがありました。
明るい時間と暗い時間に観る白川郷はアップして頂いた写真のように全く別世界だと感じられます。gencham様はその両方を散策され、また温泉もご利用されたようで正にフルコースを体験されたようですね。ありがとうございます。
的確なアドバイスをいただきありがとうございます。

The drift ice has a different landing date every year, and this year I was lucky to see it on the second day of its landing, with beautiful weather. I want to go see it again next year.
流氷は毎年接岸の日が違い、たまたま今年は接岸2日目で、天気にも恵まれラッキーでした。来年も見に行きたいと思います。

The snow and scenery in Shirakawa-go were beautiful, and I enjoyed tasting and purchasing sake in Takayama. It was a shame that the mitarashi dango was sold out in Takayama, so I couldn't try it, but I was able to relax without any rain.

Thank you for participating in our tour the other day. This year, there has been an abundance of snowfall, and I think it was wonderful to see the snow and the gassho-zukuri architecture in Shirakawa-go. Takayama has many souvenir shops and sake breweries, making it a great tourist destination for those who enjoy sake. We are very grateful for your feedback that you were satisfied with this tour.

I participated in a bus tour during my trip to Kanazawa. It’s an easy trip, taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Kanazawa. The tour guide's explanations were also very thorough. I was very satisfied to enjoy both the daytime and the illuminated night views of Shirakawa-go. Since meals were included, it was a relief not to have to search for a restaurant.
金沢に旅行した際バスツアーに参加しました。
金沢から1時間15分程度と気軽に行くことができます。
添乗員さんの説明も丁寧でした。
白川郷の昼とライトアップした夜の両方を楽しむことができ大満足です。
食事付きだったので、お店を探すことなく助かりました。
Areas where the snow has compacted can be slippery, so wearing appropriate shoes is safe.
雪が固まっているところは滑りやすいので、それなりの靴が安全です。
Dear Puru,
Thank you for participating in our tour, the "Shirakawa-go Light Up Tour." We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your long-awaited visit to Shirakawa-go. This year, Shirakawa-go has had an abundance of snow, and winter in Shirakawa-go truly means snow. It was great to explore both the daytime and nighttime views of Shirakawa-go. The photos you took are beautiful in the clear weather. The contrast between the color of the sky and the light illuminating the houses is stunning. Thank you very much.

The plan was to visit Shirakawa-go, but due to a severe cold wave, the news had been advising against visiting Shirakawa-go and announcing road closures for 2-3 days prior to the tour. Despite this, when I confirmed whether the tour would proceed, I received a response that the tour would take place on the day. Since cancellations on the day before do not qualify for a refund, I participated, but in the end, we could only go to Gujo Hachiman. About 80% of the participants were foreigners. There were few Japanese participants, and it was very disappointing given my expectations.
After going to Gujo Hachiman, we were told we would go to an outlet as an option, but I couldn't help but think that this was part of the original plan. In the end, we had to return to Nagoya Station right away. I find it unacceptable that the tour was conducted knowing in advance that we couldn't go, and I inquired about it, but I didn't even receive a response, so I will no longer use this site.
I appreciate the guide and the driver who safely drove us on the day.
白川郷のプランだったが、大寒波と重なり、ニュースでは白川郷は通行止めや観光に来ないよう呼びかけていることを、ツアーの2〜3日前からやっていた。
それにも関わらず、催行の有無を確認すると、当日はツアーがあると返事が来た。前日キャンセルは返金対応にならないため、当日参加したものの、結局郡上八幡のみにしか行けなかった。参加者は約8割外国人。
日本人参加者は少なかったが、期待しただけにとても残念だった。
郡上八幡に行った後、オプションでアウトレットに行くと言われたが、始めからそのプランの予定だったのでは?と思ってしまうほど。結局すぐに名古屋駅に戻ることになった。今回は予め行けないと分かっていたのにツアーを催行させたことが納得行かず、問い合わせたが返事すら帰ってこないため、もうこちらのサイトは利用しません。
当日のガイドさんや安全に運転して下さった運転手さんには感謝しています。

Since there was no observation of the drift ice, I thought it might be a shopping voucher, but there was a 40-minute boat ride, and it was not eligible for a refund. That's a bit disappointing... However, I enjoyed spending more time at the Abashiri Prison. It was very spacious, and I had so much fun that I didn't have enough time. For lunch, I recommend the seafood bowl. It was delicious and left me full. I was lucky to get a seat on the Ryuhyo Monogatari. There were people standing. At Notoro Cape, the driver spotted birds and deer, which made it very enjoyable.
流氷は観測すらなかったからお買い物券かなと思ったけど、40分間の乗船があり、返金対象にはなりませんでした。ちょっと残念…。その分時間を網走監獄で多めに取って楽しみました。とても広くて時間が足りないくらい楽しかったです。昼食は海鮮丼がオススメ。美味しくてお腹いっぱいになりました。流氷物語号は座れたからラッキー。立ってる人もいました。能取岬では運転手さんが鳥や鹿を見つけてくれてとても楽しめました。

I was a bit anxious before the whale watching experience, but once on board, the staff were very accommodating, and I had a great time. The whales seemed to be a bit stressed too (laughs), and they made quite an impression that even surprised the staff. The staff provided clear explanations on-site. It took some time to see the next whale after the first two, but once the captain changed the location, we quickly spotted a whale. Amazing job, captain. I will definitely participate again when I come back to Naha. Thank you, staff and captain.

I applied with my Canadian boyfriend. On the day I participated, there were no other Japanese people, and the guide was in Chinese and English. He was also satisfied and able to understand the content! The guide was fluent in Japanese as well and communicated with us in Japanese during the tour.
I don't think it's possible to explore so efficiently on your own, especially in winter, so I was very satisfied! The time allocation was very sufficient, and in Gujo Hachiman, we walked to scenic spots with the guide, while in Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, we had the freedom to wander around.

I participated in early February, but I couldn't see the drift ice. The weather was good, so the Aurora cruise operated, but it only went around the nearby sea. The visit to Abashiri Prison took 75 minutes, but there wasn't enough time, so I just had a quick look. I didn't have time to choose souvenirs. If I had more time on the Aurora cruise, I would have liked to explore Abashiri Prison more leisurely.
I took the JR train to the meeting point in Abashiri, but it was on the same line as the Drift Ice Story train (which I realized upon reflection), and the tour included riding the Drift Ice Story train, going by bus from Abashiri to Kitahama Station, and then returning to Abashiri on the Drift Ice Story train, so it felt a bit off.
As for lunch, I felt it was unavoidable given the tour's itinerary. The time allocated for other locations was just right.
2月の上旬に参加しましたが、流氷は見られませんでした。天気はよかったので、おーろら号は催行しましたが、近くの海をぐるっとまわるだけでした。網走監獄は所要時間75分でしたが、時間が足りずにサラッと見て終わりました。お土産を選んでいる時間はありませんでした。おーろら号に乗っている時間があれば、網走監獄をもっとゆっくり見たかったです。
集合地点の網走までJRで向かいましたが、流氷物語号と同じ路線(考えてみれば気づくこと)で、ツアーの流氷物語号に乗車する内容でも、網走からバスで北浜駅に向かい、流氷物語で網走に戻るというツアーだったので、うーん、という感じでした。
昼食も、ツアーの内容なら仕方ないか、といった感じです。
その他の場所の所要時間はちょうどよかったです。
If you can see the drift ice, I think it would be a satisfying tour. However, there really isn't enough time at Abashiri Prison, so if you can't see the drift ice, it might be better to explore on you
流氷が見ることができていたのなら、満足いくツアーなのだと思います。ただ、網走監獄は本当に時間が足りないので、流氷が見られないのなら、自分たちで行動した方が良いかもしれません。
