Meeting location description was easy to follow. The weather was not great as it was snowing and cold but the tour and guide were exactly what we wanted

It was an amazing experience! The bus route was well-planned and well-organized with sufficient stops along the way. Our guide, Mr. Kuroda, is a Kanazawa local who knows in and out the area and gave us a lot of interesting trivia and tips throughout the trip. The food provided was at a restaurant at the rest stop where all the tour bus goes but the quality is top notch! I highly recommend this tour and I would go again myself when I want to visit Shirakawago and Takayama again.

It was winter wonderland in Shirakawa-go. We had enough time to roam around, take pics. Lunch was awesome. They catered to my vegetarian request. Takayama was beautiful, Tour was on time. Great information given in the bus. Enough time to visit both cities.
