We gathered at Nagoya Station in the morning, took attendance, and boarded the bus. Since there were mostly foreign tourists, the guide spoke multiple languages. There were many participants from Southeast Asia, but there were also explanations in Japanese, so there were no particular issues. Given the diverse nationalities, the explanations were provided in each language in turn. The guide handed out maps of Shirakawa-go and Takayama and went around explaining at each seat, which I felt was a thoughtful approach. Once we arrived at the destination, a meeting place and time were set, so we did not have to act as a group and could explore freely. There were quite a few participants in the tour.
朝に名古屋駅へ集合し、出欠を取り、バス乗車。基本的に外国人観光客が多かったので、ガイドさんは何ヶ国語も話す方だった。東南アジア?の方からの参加が多かったが日本語での説明もあったので特に問題はなかった。多様な国籍の方がいるので説明は、それぞれの言語で順番に行われた。白川郷や高山の地図を渡して下さり、各座席ごとに説明して回られていて、丁寧な対応だと感じた。現地に着いたら、集合場所と集合時間を決められたので、団体で行動することはなく全部自由行動となった。かなりツアー参加者も多かった。
外国の方が多い。

This year, there has been a lot of snowfall, which must be tough for the residents, but as a tourist, I was able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. Personally, I preferred Gokayama, which, although smaller in scale than Shirakawa-go, offered a calm and quiet atmosphere where I could feel the gentle passage of time.
I visited at the end of the year, so there was severe traffic to Shirakawa-go, and the tour was completed 1 hour and 40 minutes late. Since I was staying in Takayama, the delay didn't bother me, but those who have further travel plans should be cautious. As others have mentioned, it seems that going to Shirakawa-go first would allow for more time flexibility.
I think the guide was quite busy alternating between Japanese and English, but I was glad to hear various interesting stories.
今年は積雪が多いとのことで住んでいらっしゃる方にとっては大変でしょうが、観光客としては素晴らしい景色を堪能することができました。個人的には白川郷よりも、規模は小さいながら落ち着いていて静かな五箇山が緩やかな時の流れを感じることができてよかったです。
年末に訪れたので白川郷への渋滞がひどく、1時間40分遅れでのツアー完了となりました。私は高山泊だったので遅れても構わなかったのですが、後行程で移動がある方は注意が必要です。他の方も書かれていましたが、白川郷に先に行く方が時間に余裕が出るように思います。
ガイドの方は日本語・英語代わる代わるの案内でお忙しかったかと思いますが、いろいろ興味深い話も伺えてよかったです。

There were moments when the tour was delayed due to weather, but I was very impressed that the schedule was adjusted and we arrived as planned.
This was my first trip to Gifu Prefecture, and there was a lot I didn't know. I appreciated how the bus tour staff provided advice to each person at various locations. What stood out particularly was how the tour guide shared insights while speaking with us. Even with free time, it was very reassuring to have guidance for our explorations.
Lastly, it was amazing that the tour guide could speak Chinese, English, and Japanese.
一部ツアーで遅れる場面(天候上)もあったが、スケジュールを調整されていて、予定通り着いた点は非常に感動した。
岐阜県については初めて旅行する場所であり、知らないことも多かった。その中でバスツアーさんが一人一人に各場所のアドバイス等をしていた点が良かった。特に良かったのが、ツアーガイドさんの知見も交えながら、お話してくださった点である。自由時間があっても、各人で目星をつけて散策するため、大変心強かった。
最後に中国語、英語、日本語を話せているのは凄かった。(今回のツアーガイドさんがかもしれないが)
I recommend it for those visiting Gifu Prefecture, Shirakawa-go, and Hida Takayama for the first time. Also, since there are more international participants than Japanese, it's recommended for those w

I recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the year-end and New Year holidays. Since the snowy roads in Shirakawa-go can be slippery, it's best to wear shoes with good traction.

- It was my first time in Takayama and Shirakawa-go, and I thoroughly enjoyed not only the scenery but also food tasting, sightseeing, and souvenir hunting.
- Although there was snow in Shirakawa-go, it wasn't falling, so I was able to walk with regular shoes.
- The guide, who spoke three languages, was from China and provided a very detailed tour, which gave me a great sense of reassurance.
- As others have mentioned, about 90% of the participants were from overseas. Although we started a bit late, everyone was punctual and we disbanded as scheduled.
<Actual Schedule>
8:15 Meeting
8:20-25 Departure, but we left 15 minutes late due to one group not gathering
→ Gradually, we started to see snow, and by around 9:30, we were in a snowy landscape with about 20cm of snow.
10:00 Arrived at Hirugano Kogen SA → 10:25 Departure

- The seats are unreserved, and there are no outlets or restrooms, so be careful.
- Takayama is surprisingly short, so it might be better to pick 2 or 3 places you want to visit. It's also a good idea

As a person from Osaka, I enjoyed the view of Midosuji from the top of the double-decker bus, which was different from the usual scenery. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and it was a great opportunity to learn things I didn't know before. It was rush hour, so it took longer than planned, but thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the view from the window at a leisurely pace. The window frame made it surprisingly difficult to take photos.
I think if I had been in the front row, I could have enjoyed the view more directly, but if you're participating alone, you might end up in the back row. Since I was in the back, the view in front was hard to see, but the advantage was that the guide spoke from the back, making it easy to hear the explanations.
There are blankets available for rent, and since we weren't moving fast due to the traffic, it wasn't too cold. There is a map for the meeting place, but it's quite confusing. It was at number 7 of the JR Highway Bus Terminal, but there was no indication of which number it was, so it seemed like many other participants were also confused.
I think it would be helpful if the map clearly indicated that it is bus stop number 7, so future participants won't get lost.
大阪人ですが、2階建てバスの上から見る御堂筋の景色は普段の景色とはまた違い楽しめました。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、知らなかったことも知るいい機会となりました。ちょうど渋滞の時間帯で予定より時間はかかりましたが、そのおかげでゆっくり車窓を楽しめました。窓枠があるので意外に写真は撮りにくかったです。
最前列だともっと正面から景色を楽しめたと思いますが、1人参加の場合は最後方席になるのかもしれません。後ろ席だったので、正面の景色は見づらかったですが、ガイドさんが後方席で話されるので説明は聞きやすかったのが利点です。
ブランケットは貸出しがありますし、渋滞でスピードが出ていないので、そんなに寒くはなかったです。
集合場所の地図がありますが、かなりわかりにくいです。
JR高速バスターミナルの7番でしたが、何番との記載がないので他の参加者の方も迷われた方が多かったように見受けられました。
集合場所の地図には是非7番乗り場と記載して頂けるとこれから参加される方は迷わないと思います。
You can borrow blankets and receive hand warmers, but warm clothing is essential.

I made a reservation because I wanted to see Shirakawa-go covered in snow. This year, it had been warm for a while, so I was worried about whether there would be snow, but my worries were unfounded. When I arrived, it was snowing so heavily that I could barely see in front of me. Snow boots are a must during snowy weather. The bridge leading to Shirakawa-go from the parking lot was frozen. When the sun peeked out, it was as beautiful as I had imagined, so I definitely think everyone should see the snowy scenery and Shirakawa-go at least once! In Takayama, I had enough time to see the morning market, eat Hida beef, and do some shopping. If you want to explore more thoroughly, I think you would need a bit more time.

I decided to go to Nagoya with my mother, and since it was a special occasion, I wanted to create memories by visiting places I had never been before, so I signed up for a tour.
At first, I felt anxious because most of the other passengers and the guide were foreigners (we might have been the only Japanese). However, the guide from China was very friendly and explained everything in Japanese, which eased my worries. It was also reassuring that the bus driver was Japanese!
On the bus, we stopped at the destination and had about two hours of free time. In Hida Takayama, we were able to visit the morning market, and I was very satisfied to buy some delicious miso. The meat sushi was also tasty, and there was a Snoopy store. Since both my mother and I love Snoopy, I was happy to buy matching Snoopy sarubobo dolls with her.
In Shirakawa-go, although there wasn't much snow, I was glad to see the snowy scenery. We entered Nagase-ya and Wada-ya, and the interiors were filled with historical artifacts, allowing us to feel the past. It was fascinating to think that there are still people living in this village today.
The tour took us to two sightseeing spots at once, so we were able to spend a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

I was able to exchange snacks in English with the Chinese guests next to me, and it was great to participate without any troubles and have fun.

Unfortunately, it was rainy, but the gassho-zukuri houses in Shirakawa-go were slightly colored with autumn leaves, and the mist created a beautiful view that I enjoyed. I imagine it must be covered in heavy snow during winter. The lunch featuring mountain and river delicacies was delicious. The guide's explanations were also great, and I am thinking of visiting again next year, in 2025.

To conclude, I’m really glad I participated!
As a trip, every location had many highlights. When I participated, the rough time allocations were about 1 hour in Gujo Hachiman, 2 hours in Takayama, and 2 hours in Shirakawa-go, so you need to move efficiently and quickly, or you won't have enough time. I think it's better to research the places you want to visit in advance.
Since I went to Shirakawa-go on a weekday between 3 PM and 5 PM, many shops that usually stay open until 5 PM closed by 4 PM, so it’s better to check out cafes and the gassho-zukuri buildings first. On the flip side, from around 4 PM, the number of tourists decreases, making it easier to take photos of the scenery.
Regarding the other tourists on the same tour, when I participated, I was the only Japanese person. (laughs) There were many tourists from China, and since I had seen reviews of this tour, to be honest, I was quite anxious until we reached the first sightseeing spot. However, everyone was very well-mannered, quiet on the bus, and adhered to the meeting times, returning to Nagoya as scheduled. This was another reason I felt glad to join this tour. My impression really changed.
As for the guide, I can’t emphasize enough how positive my impression was; it’s not an exaggeration to say that thanks to this person, we had a safe tour.
On the bus, they provided highlights of the places we visited and safety reminders (like restroom breaks and seatbelt alerts) in Chinese, English, and Japanese, allowing for a safe and comfortable sightseeing experience. They were probably from China but spoke Japanese well, and whenever they spotted me, the only Japanese person, they spoke to me in Japanese. When we finally arrived in Nagoya, after everyone got off, they checked the seats to ensure no one left anything behind, showing great consideration until the very end. It was truly a wonderful tour.
Thank you very much.
結論から言いますが、参加してほんと良かったです!
旅行としてはどの箇所も見所多く私が参加した時は、大まかですが郡上八幡が1時間、飛騨高山2時間、白川郷2時間の滞在時間なので、ある程度効率よく早足で回らないと時間が足りなくなります。寄りたい場所をある程度調べて訪れた方が良いと思います。
白川郷は平日の15〜17時の時間帯に行ったので、本来なら17時までやってる店なども16時に閉まる店が多く、先にカフェや合掌造りの建物を見学した方が良いです。逆に言えば16時くらいから観光客が減るので景色を撮りやすい時間でした。
同じツアー観光客についてですが、私が参加した時は日本人は私1人でした。笑
中国からの観光客が多くみられ、このツアーの口コミも観てたので本音言うと最初の観光地に着くまですごく不安でした。しかし、皆さんすごくマナー良くバス内では静かで、集合時間も守り、名古屋には予定通りに戻ってきました。この点もこのツアーに参加して良かったと思った点です。ほんとに印象が変わりました。
ガイドさんについてですが、この方のおかげで安全なツアーが出来たと言っても過言では無いほど好印象な方でした。
バス内では中国語、英語、日本語で訪問箇所の見どころや移動中の注意点(トイレ休憩あるかやシートベルトの注意喚起)をしてくださり、安全で快適な観光ができました。多分中国出身の方でしたが、日本語も上手で、唯一日本人の私を見かけたら日本語で話してくれました。最後名古屋に着くと、全員降りた後に忘れ物がないか座席を確認してる姿も最後まで配慮が行き届いた方で、ほんとに良いツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

The plan was to go from Takayama to Shirakawa-go, but due to road congestion, it was reversed. It might have been better that way.
The guide was trilingual and spoke Japanese well.
The bus tour had 80% Asian foreigners and 20% Japanese, but everyone was punctual and well-behaved.
Shirakawa-go was snowy, but we were able to visit all the sightseeing points we wanted. I gave up on lunch and ate skewers and menchi katsu on the bus.
It was raining in Takayama. We arrived at 2:30, and since most ramen shops were closed, we found one that was still open and went in. The soup had a rich flavor, but it was delicious.
I was glad we could visit Takayama Jinya and Sakurayama Hachiman Shrine.
Lastly, I appreciate the female driver for her safe driving. 😊
高山から白川郷の予定が、道路の混雑により逆になりました。却って良かったかもしれません。
ガイドさんはトリリンガルで、日本語も上手でした。
アジア系外国人8割・日本人2割のバスツアーでしたが、皆さん時間厳守でお行儀も良かったです。
白川郷は雪でしたが、行きたい観光ポイントは全て行けました。昼食は諦めて、串焼きとメンチカツをバス内で食べました。
高山は雨。2時半に着いたのでラーメン屋さんはほぼ時間外の中、1軒だけ営業中を見つけ入店しました。濃い味のスープでしたが、美味しかったです。
高山陣屋と桜山八幡宮に行けて良かったです。
最後に、安全運転をして下さった女性ドライバーさんに感謝😊
The key is to narrow down the sightseeing points you want to visit within the time you have.
時間内で行きたい観光ポイントを絞るのがコツです。

On this day, the forecast predicted a high of 3°C and a low of -1°C in Shirakawa-go. Thanks to that, I was able to visit Shirakawa-go, which I had seen in TV shows and photos, with its beautiful snowy scenery.
With a heat pack on my back, another in my shoes, and rain shoe covers on, I was fully prepared for my stroll. This allowed me to enjoy the stunning winter landscape of Shirakawa-go and indulge in some street food without being deterred by the cold or muddy ground!
The nostalgic old town of Takayama was filled with exciting shops from the moment I stepped in. I enjoyed exploring while savoring gourmet food, chopsticks, bowls, and local sake. I also visited Takayama Jinya and felt like I had traveled back in time!
I wish I had more time, but considering how challenging it is to get there, I thought it was great to experience it on a day trip bus tour from Nagoya!
この日、予報では最高気温は3℃、最低気温は-1℃の白川郷へ。おかげで、テレビや写真で見たことのある、雪景色の白川郷を訪れることができました。
背中にカイロ、靴の中にもカイロ、レインシューズカバーも装着し、完全防備で散策に向かったおかげで、寒さやぬかるむ足元にひるむことなく、白銀の白川郷の風景や食べ歩きを楽しむことができました!
高山のノストラジックな古き良き町並みは、一歩足を踏み入れた瞬間からワクワクするお店が並び、グルメやお箸・お椀、銘酒を堪能しながら散策しました。
高山陣屋もお邪魔して、タイムスリップした気分を味わいました!
もっともっと時間があったら良かったけど、そもそも行くだけでなかなかハードな地域なので、名古屋からの日帰りバスツアーで体験できるのは良いな☆と思いました。
It seems you'll need to walk quickly to cover all the main tourist points. I recommend narrowing it down a bit and enjoying the experience!☆
主要観光ポイントを全部回るのは、速足で歩き回る必要がありそうです。少しポイントをしぼって、満喫することをおすすめします☆

I was worried about the snow when departing from Takayama Station, but we were able to proceed safely and as planned. The guide's explanations were great, and I truly enjoyed it. It was my first time visiting Gokayama and Shirakawa-go, and it was a wonderful experience. The one-day course from Takayama is also well set up, making it perfect to incorporate into a sightseeing trip in Takayama.
高山駅出発の時は雪で心配でしたが、無事、予定通り進めました。ガイドさんの解説も良く、本当に楽しめてました。初めての五箇山と白川郷でしたが、本当に良い経験が出来ました。高山からの1日コースという設定も良く、高山観光のついでに組み込むのにちょうど良いです。
In winter, it becomes snowy, so it's tough without sturdy shoes.

I participated with my mother.
During the peak season for autumn leaves, the bus was fully booked, with about 80% of the participants coming from overseas.
The course included the Gokayama villages, which are not easy to visit on your own, and the mountain scenery along the way was at its best for viewing the autumn leaves. The bus guide provided thorough explanations about the World Heritage area and the scenery outside the window, making it a more enjoyable experience than traveling individually. (Explanations were provided in both English and Japanese.) The free time in each village was just right.
In Gokayama, there was enough time to casually explore the village. In Shirakawa-go, we had time for lunch, a stroll around the village, a shuttle bus to the observation deck, visits to 2 or 3 gassho-zukuri buildings, a short tea break, and time to shop for souvenirs before returning to the bus—plenty of time for everything.
Since the bus prioritized parking, there was no waiting time for entry, and everything was on schedule. It’s an efficient and easy way to enjoy sightseeing.
母と二人参加でした
紅葉のハイシーズン、バスは満席で8割は海外からの参加者でした。
自分では立ち寄りづらい五箇山集落もコースに含まれており、道中の山間も紅葉が見頃、
バスガイドさんも世界遺産となった地域の解説や車窓の風景の案内もしっかりしてくださるので、
個人で回るよりよりもしっかり堪能できると思います。(英語と日本語両方の解説でした)
それぞれの集落での自由時間もちょうどよかったです。
五箇山はさらっとぐるっと集落内をみて回れるぐらいの時間。
白川郷はランチ→集落内を一回り→シャトルバスで展望台へ行き→合掌造りの建物立ち寄り見学2、3箇所→ちょっとお茶休憩→お土産をみてバス帰着‥ぐらいの十分な時間がありました。
バスは駐車場が優先されるため、入場に待ち時間もなく、時間もオンタイムでした。
効率よく、楽に観光できる手段です

I participated in a tour of Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, which are two attractions that are quite difficult to cover in just one day. The majority of the participants were from China, and the large bus was fully booked. The tour guide provided explanations in both Chinese and Japanese.
On the way, it started to snow on the highway, causing traffic congestion, so we changed our plans and headed to Shirakawa-go first. The path to the observation deck was not in great condition due to rain and snow, but I wanted to see the view from the deck, so I walked there. Once I reached the top, I was able to overlook the beautiful snowy houses of Shirakawa-go, which was truly moving. The visit to the Nagase family house afterward was also nice, as I could take my time exploring the interior. I was worried that the two-hour stay might be a bit short, but I think I managed to see the main parts of the village.
Since we arrived in Hida Takayama in the afternoon, we couldn't visit the morning market, but we did explore Takayama Jinya and stroll through the old streets. The visit to Takayama Jinya took about 30 minutes, and it was impressive with its spacious grounds. Perhaps due to the time of day, there were few visitors, allowing for a leisurely exploration. I noticed that many shops near the bus parking area ended their lunch service around 3 PM, which is something to keep in mind.
Overall, it was an efficient bus tour that allowed us to visit two locations, and the tour guide's service was pleasant, making for a fulfilling day.
飛騨高山と白川郷のツアー、なかなか1日では回れない2つの観光地に行けるのが魅力的で参加しました。参加者は中国の方が多く大型バスが満席、添乗員さんは中国語と日本語での説明をされていました。
行きの高速道路で雪が降り始め道路が混雑したため、予定変更で先に白川郷へ行くことに。展望台への道も雨と雪で足元が良くない状況でしたが、せっかくなので展望台からの景色が見たくて、徒歩で展望台へ。登ってみたらとても素敵な雪の白川郷の家並みを見渡すことができ、感動的でした。その後に立ち寄った長瀬家もゆっくり内部を見学できて良かったです。2時間の滞在は少し短いかと心配していましたが、一通り集落を回ることができたと思います。
飛騨高山は午後の到着になったため、朝市見学はできませんでしたが、高山陣屋を見学し古い街並みを散策しました。高山陣屋は30分程で見学。広いお屋敷で見応えがありました。時間帯もあってか、見学客が少なく、ゆっくり見学できました。バスの駐車場近辺の商店街は、ランチタイムが15時頃終了してしまう所が多かった点は注意が必要かと思いました。
全体的には効率よく2箇所を巡ることのできるバスツアーで、添乗員さんの対応も気持ち良く、充実した1日でした。
I think it's better to anticipate changes in the order of destinations and delays in return times.
行き先順の変更や帰着時間の遅れは想定しておいた方が良いと思います。
