Sightseeing Tours

The bus tour was a great way to explore two UNESCO villages even on a very rainy day. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny giving us tips along the way in both Japanese and English.

We were a small group of j... moreust about 15 people on a bus for about 27. The bus was very comfy. The time we had to explore on our own was sufficient. The lunch was very yummy and served traditional style.

We had a lot of free time to spend in the villages. The guide and driver were both very experienced and well organized.

We loved the lunch in an traditional restaurant in a very small village. ( Only 9 houses).

We can... more highly recommend this trip!

I brought my 10mo old son on my own, and this tour was amazing. I did a detailed review on my blog post here: http://www.arielland.com/2020/03/baby-traveler-kanazawa-and-shirakawago.html (or my YouTube vlog here: https:/... more/www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sycLyDqQZ0)

To sum up what I liked:

✦ Big comfortable tour bus
✦ Bilingual guide sharing amazing details
✦ Good amount of time at each spot, not too long/not too short
✦ Group was half Japanese half international, everyone was very nice
✦ Tour was very timely and organized

Our driver was very professional and spoke very good English. Thanks for your help!!

A wonderful tour indeed. Our tour guide, Mr Kodama (or Kodama San, as he’d be known in Japan), is simply wonderful, and spoke very good English, with a bit of humour too.

The bus was nice and comfortable, and the b... moreus driver drove really well. Even though some parts of the tour route is windy, you hardly feel any motion sickness at all.

Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking at doing this.

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 ... morespoke 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.
