All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

I think the guide must have had a tough time providing information in both English and Japanese, but I felt they were kind and it was great. Thank you for your help.

ガイドさんも英語と日本語での案内で大変だったと思いますが、親切で良かったと思いました。お世話になりました

Since it was a three-day weekend, all the spots were extremely crowded, so I thought my stay would be short, but I believe the cost performance is good if I can visit various places at this price.

Most of the time, it was in English and Chinese, but I was helped because they spoke to me in Japanese. A friend from Thailand was visiting, so I was able to translate from Japanese to Thai and convey the information.

Thank you very much.

三連休ということもあり、どこのスポットも大混雑だったので、滞在時間が短いとも思いましたが、このお値段で色々まわれるならコスパは良いと思いました。

基本、英語と中国語でしたが、日本語で話しかけて下さったので、助かりました。
タイから友人が来ていたので、日本語からタイ語に訳して伝えることが出来ました。

ありがとうございました。

Shirakawa-go, where snow still remains, had beautiful scenery. The guide was fluent in English and impressive. Since all the restaurants were crowded, I think a meal plan is reassuring. I am very satisfied.

雪がまだ残っている白川郷は景色が良かったです
ガイドさんが英語ペラペラで凄かったです
飲食店はどこも混雑しているので食事付きのプランは安心だと思います
とても満足しています

I visited Dazaifu Tenmangu for the first time, and it was compact and very easy to see. It was just the right season for plum blossoms, and they were beautiful. The ropeway and Yufuin were not that great, so I think other places might have been better. The guide was top-notch!

太宰府天満宮初めて行きましたが、こじんまりしていて、とても見やすかったです。
ちょうど梅のシーズンでとても綺麗でした。
ロープウェイと湯布院ははイマイチでしたので、他のところが良かったかな。
ガイドさんはピカイチでした！

I participated in a day trip tour from Nagoya for the first time, and I really enjoyed it as we efficiently visited the somewhat difficult-to-reach places of Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go. The tour was aimed at inbound travelers, and there were many foreign participants, but the guide explained everything in Japanese, English, and Chinese, which was great. The driver also efficiently handled the long-distance driving, and despite some traffic, we arrived at Nagoya Station earlier than expected, allowing us to comfortably catch the Shinkansen to Tokyo. Thank you very much. I look forward to participating in other tours as well.

今回初めて名古屋からの日帰りツアーに参加しましたが、飛騨高山と白川郷と行きづらい場所を効率よく回ってくれてとても楽しめました。ツアーはインバウンド向けで外国の方が多かったのですが、ガイドさんが、日本語、英語、中国語とそれぞれの言葉で説明してくれたので良かったです。ドライバーさんも長距離を効率よく運転していただき渋滞があったにもかかわらず時間よりも早く名古屋駅に到着することができたのでお陰様で東京までの新幹線にも余裕で間に合いました。ありがとうございました。また、他のツアーにも参加させていただきたく思います。

We had a perfectly timed free time of two hours in Takayama and two hours in Shirakawa-go. Most of the participants were from abroad, especially of Chinese descent. The guide provided a brief introduction on the bus, but was kind, and considering the price, the content was quite satisfactory.

高山で２時間、白川郷で２時間とちょうど良い長さの自由時間でした。大半が外国からの方（特に中華系）でした。ガイドはバスの車内での簡単なものではありましたが親切で、値段を考えれば十分に満足できる内容でした。

It was a comfortable Shirakawa-go tour. They also prepared lunch for us, allowing me to enjoy my own time. I was very satisfied with the one-person day tour. It was a memorable experience.

快適な白川郷ツアーでした。
お昼のお食事も用意して戴いてて自分だけの時間を楽しむ事が出来ました。
たったひとりだけの１日ツアー満足。思い出ツアーでした。

I was glad to experience various activities and see different sights in just one day. The tour guide was friendly, smiling, and easy to talk to. My husband, who has back pain, found it tough to sit for about two hours on the bus. He mentioned it would have been nice to stretch his back during the bathroom breaks.

1日で、色んな体験、景色が見れて良かった。添乗員さんも笑顔で優しく、話しやすかった。腰痛持ちの夫は、バスで2時間程、座りっぱなしなのは、きつかったらしい。途中トイレ休憩などで、腰を伸ばせたら良かったとの事。

In Gujo Hachiman, we were guided through the old streets and cultural sites (those who wanted to explore freely could disperse). In Hida Takayama, we had free time to explore (lunch on our own) while enjoying the streets and visiting Takayama Jinya, where we tried Hida beef sushi and gohei mochi. In Shirakawa-go, we had plenty of time to follow the recommended route from our guide, going up to the observation deck and visiting one of the houses. Our guide, Moe, did an excellent job. However, I deducted one star because I couldn't find the meeting place.

郡上八幡では、古い街並みと文化財をガイドさんに案内してもらい、（自由散策をしたい方は解散）飛騨高山は自由散策（各自昼食）で、街並みを眺めながら高山陣屋を訪れつつ、飛騨和牛のお寿司や五平餅を食べました。白川郷では、ガイドさんおすすめのルートをぐるっとひと回り、展望台へ上ったり一軒見学するぐらいは充分時間がありました。ガイドのMoeさんの仕切りが大変良かったです。が、集合場所がわからなかったので星一つ減らしました。

I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to visit many places. Aside from the three of us, everyone else was from abroad (including the guide and the driver), but it was a completely comfortable day trip bus tour. Thank you again!

たくさんの場所を効率よく回れて大満足でした。
私たち3人以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが（ガイドさんとドライバーさんも）全く快適な日帰りバスツアーでした。
またよろしくお願いします。

I finally went to Takachiho, a place I've wanted to visit for a long time. The beautiful scenery left me speechless. I had an amazing time. The guide was also unique and explained everything clearly, which was great.

ずっと行きたかった高千穂に行ってきました。綺麗な景色に感無量でした。最高に楽しかったです。ガイドさんも、ユニークな方で説明もわかりやすく良かったです。

Yō-san, our guide, is a wonderful woman who is a super bilingual in Japanese, English, and Chinese. She taught us about Takachiho Gorge, the myths of the gods, and Mount Aso in three languages to about 40 participants from America, Indonesia, China, and us four Japanese. She really knows her stuff. Thanks to Yō-san, it was a fun tour. I am grateful. Places like Takachiho Gorge are not easy to visit. I think it's a good idea to participate in tours like this.

ガイドのようーさんは日本語、英語そして中国語を操る超バイリンガルの素敵な女性です。彼女は当日の参加者アメリカ、インドネシア、中国そして私達日本人４人合わせて40人位に３言語で高千穂峡について、神々の神話、阿蘇山等よ〜〜く教えてくれました。本当に勉強なさってます。ようーさんのおかげで楽しいツアーとなりました。感謝しています。高千穂峡のような場所はなかなかいけないような場所です。このようなツアーに参加すると良いと思います。

Recently, it was rare to have snow, and I was able to see the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go. Since I had plenty of time, I was able to fully enjoy the highlights. The lunch was delicious, and Gokayama was also great.

What made this bus tour so good was definitely thanks to the tour guide.

Thanks to their precise recommendations and efficient advice on how to get around, I was able to manage my time well and enjoy all the sightseeing without missing anything. The explanations on the bus, which included some English, were witty and everyone was able to listen to them with enjoyment.

I would definitely like to request this again on my next opportunity. Thank you very much.

最近では珍しく雪が降って、雪景色の白川郷を見る事が出来ました。
時間もゆとりがあったので、見どころを満喫できました。
昼食も美味しく、五箇山も良かったです。

今回のバスツアーが良かったのは、なんと言っても添乗員さんのおかげです。

おすすめポイントや効率よくまわるアドバイスが的確だったおかげで、うまく時間配分も出来て漏れなく観光出来ました。
英語を交えたバス内の説明もウィットにとんでいて、全員楽しく話を聞けました。

次の機会も、またぜひお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The male tour guide's explanations were thorough and enjoyable, and his advice on souvenirs was spot on, making the experience very enjoyable! We visited two places, and returning to Kanazawa was quick, giving us extra time, which was also very nice.

男性の添乗員さんの説明が丁寧で楽しく、お土産などのアドバイスも的確で大変楽しめました！
2箇所も周り金沢に帰着も早く時間に余裕ができその点もとても良かったです。

Ichiro-San was a wonderful host and guide - knowledgeable, humorous, patient and always professional with the six gaijin in his custody. I highly recommend he and his company.

We all agreed it was a 1st class experience.

This is a tour for overseas travelers (I applied because two tour companies for Japanese people canceled their tours).

I thought there wouldn't be any information in Japanese, but initially, there were announcements in Japanese, Chinese, and English.

This time, the bus stopped at the parking lot near Higashihongu, and since there wasn't much time, we visited the shrine in front of the torii gate. We skipped lunch and took a taxi from Takachiho Gorge to Takachiho Shrine as well.

I was glad that everything I wanted to see was included in the package. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to go to Amano Iwato Shrine, so I hope to come back someday. It would be convenient to have tours that can be enjoyed from Fukuoka. I would like to participate in a different tour next time.

海外の方向けのツアーです（日本人向けツアー2社が催行中止で申し込みました）
日本語の案内は無いと思っていましたが最初に日本語、中国語、英語の案内でした

今回東本宮側の駐車場へバスが停車しました、時間はないので鳥居の前からお参りしました　昼食抜きにして高千穂峡からタクシーで高千穂神社へも参拝しました　

自分が見たい場所全てセットになっていて良かったです
時間が足りず天安河原宮へ行けなかったのでまたいつか来たいと思います
福岡拠点で楽しめるツアーがあると便利です
また違うツアーに参加してみたいと思います

The bus guide was cheerful, polite, and it was a lot of fun. The driver was also wonderful. Thank you for a safe trip. I want to go again.

バスガイドさん、明るく丁寧で楽しかったです。運転手さんも、素晴らしかったです。
安心した旅をありがとうございました。
また行きたいです。

It's a great deal to be able to visit both the old town of Takayama and Shirakawa-go in one day. Since I've been to Takayama several times, I treated myself to some luxurious Hida beef yakiniku for lunch. As expected, the Hida beef was delicious.

In Shirakawa-go, I visited the Wada House, which is a must-see. There is a shuttle bus to the observation deck, but it was crowded due to the holiday and there are limited buses, so I walked up. The steep slope was tough, but the breathtaking view at the top made it worth the climb (it takes about 5 to 10 minutes from the base).

I thoroughly enjoyed my day!

高山市の古い町並みと白川郷が1日で両方回れるのはお得。高山は何度も行っているのでお昼は少し贅沢に飛騨牛の焼肉を食べた。やっぱり飛騨牛はうまかった。
白川郷は、お決まりだが和田家見学した。展望台まではシャトルバスが出ているが休日のため混んでいるのと本数がすくないため、徒歩で登った。急坂でしんどいが上った後は絶景が広がるので登る価値あり。(ふもとからは5~10分程度)
十分に一日楽しめました。

It was great to see various famous spots like the Imperial Palace, the National Diet Building, and Yasukuni Shrine. The tour lasted just under an hour, making it a nice sightseeing experience.

The guide also shared a lot of information, which was wonderful.

皇居や国会議事堂、靖国神社など色々な名所と見ることができてよかった。
時間も1時間弱で、いい観光になりました。

ガイドさんも色々教えてくれて、良かったです。

As expected, there were mostly foreign visitors, and it was really crowded when we got there‼️ Since we had plenty of time to explore, we were able to take our time sightseeing, shopping, and dining. The Hida beef mixed bowl I had in Hida Takayama was incredibly delicious. The tour guide was also very polite and provided thorough explanations, which was great.

予想通りほぼ外国の方が多く
現地に行ってもすごい人でした‼️
散策時間がたっぷりあったのでゆっくりと見学、買い物、食事が出来ました。
飛騨高山で食べた飛騨牛ミックス丼
とっても美味しかったです。
添乗員のお兄さんも丁寧に説明してくれてとても良かったです。

I was able to explore to my heart's content. I think the volume of the tour was just right. The lunch was also delicious.

心ゆくまで散策できました。ツアーとしてのボリューム感は大変ちょうど良かったと思います。お昼ご飯もおいしかったです。

Although it was late February, the weather felt spring-like, and despite the lack of snow in Shirakawa-go, we were able to walk easily and climb up to the observation deck. Since we were on a tour of the three ancient capitals, we didn't have much time to relax, but I was satisfied with the efficient schedule we followed. The guide was always calm and kind, and very knowledgeable, which was great.

2月下旬ではあるものの春めいたお天気となり、雪の少ない白川郷ではありましたが、歩きやすく展望台まで登ることができました。
三古都巡りということでのんびりはあまりできませんでしたが、無駄のないスケジュールで回ることができ満足しています。
ガイドさんが常に穏やかで優しく、知識も豊富でとても良かったです。

I was the only Japanese person in the group. I started by visiting Kumamoto Castle, which has changed quite a bit since before the earthquake. At Kusasenri, there were remnants of controlled burns here and there, and the aftermath of the burns might not be very pretty. The basashi (raw horse meat) rice bowl at the drive-in was delicious. The coffee was brewed using a unique method with roasted beans, but I gave up due to the long line.

At the Aso roadside station, you can buy local specialties and vegetables. There is a Kumamon monument at the Aso roadside station, and you can see a statue of Usopp from One Piece at the nearby Aso Station. Unfortunately, the area around the crater is off-limits due to a helicopter accident, so the caldera will have to wait for next time. I am very grateful to the female tour guide and the driver for their hard work, which allowed us to return early, and they also recommended a dinner place. The tour guide's stories were very interesting. She speaks Chinese and Korean as well, so if you prefer only Japanese, you should consider expanding your options, but today's tour is enjoyable enough for Japanese participants as well. Since there is a lot of movement, it is more suited for those who want to see specific points rather than many sights.

日本人は私1人でした。熊本城をはじめにみて、震災前と大分変わっていました。
草千里は野焼きの跡が所々あり、野焼きの跡はあまり綺麗ではないかもしれません。ドライブインで馬刺し丼が美味しかったです。珈琲は焙煎したコーヒーを独自の製法で出していましたが、長蛇の列で断念しました。
道の駅阿蘇では特産品や野菜を買えます。道の駅阿蘇でくまモンのモニュメントが、向かいの阿蘇駅でワンピースのウソップの銅像がみれます。
残念ながら、ヘリコプター事故で火口周辺は立ち入り禁止、カルデラはまた次回。女性添乗員と、ドライバーが最後まで頑張ってくれて早めに帰ることができ、夕食のお店も教えてくれて大変感謝です。添乗員さんのお話がとても面白かったです。中国語、韓国語も喋るので、日本語だけを希望する場合は選択肢を拡げるべきですが、今日のツアーは日本人にも充分楽しめます。移動が多いので、数見たいではなく、ピンポイントで見たい人向けです。

It was an alarm-level heavy snowfall for several consecutive days, but there was also a certain warmth to the dazzling snow. The scenery was truly wonderful. I was able to enjoy a delicious local lunch and was very satisfied. However, waiting for the bus to the observation deck took some time. There were many shops in Takayama, and I was able to enjoy myself without any prior research.

警報級の連日の豪雪でしたが、どことなく温かさも感じる最高な眩しい積雪でした。
その景観はとても素晴らしかったです。
ご当地昼食も美味しく満足に頂けました。
あと、展望台へのバス待ちがロス時間でした。
高山もお店多く下調べなくとも楽しめました。

There was one Japanese person, and the rest were from various countries.

The Kamado Hell and Umi Hell in Beppu are impressive onsens that you can't enter, especially for first-timers. The pudding and onsen eggs at Kamado Hell are delicious.

At the African Safari, the animals were just lounging around, so it wasn't very thrilling.

In Yufuin, I enjoyed walking around and eating, trying the grilled shiitake mushrooms, fried chicken, and croquettes recommended by the guide, which were exquisite. It seems they only accept cash.

After soaking in the onsen, my skin became smooth.

Thank you for a wonderful day!

日本人1人の、あとは多国籍でした。
別府のかまど地獄と海地獄ははじめての人には迫力のある入ることの出来ないおんせんです。かまど地獄のプリンと温泉たまごが美味しいです。
アフリカンサファリは動物たちがもうのんびりしちゃって迫力なかったです。
由布院は食べ歩きで、ガイドさんに教えて貰った椎茸焼きと唐揚げ、コロッケを食べ、絶品でした。現金のみの対応のようです。
温泉に入り、お肌スベスベになりました。
1日ありがとうございました。

The guide explained the same thing in three languages: Japanese, English, and Chinese. I was able to learn an efficient way to get around Shirakawa-go.

ガイドの方が同じことを日本語、英語、中国語の３か国語で説明してくれます。
白川郷の効率的な周り方教えてもらえました。

The tour content was excellent. The guide, Ms. Li, was a wonderful person, and thanks to her, it was a fun trip! I participated as a Japanese person, and there was also Japanese interpretation available. There were a few other Japanese participants as well! I highly recommend it!

ツアーの内容も最高でした
ガイドのリさんがすごく素敵な方で
ガイドさんのおかげで楽しい旅行になりました！
日本人で参加しましたが日本語通訳もあり
数名他にも日本人もいました！
すごくおすすめです！

This time we had a Nepali guide. He was very kind and actively engaged with us Japanese tourists, creating an atmosphere where we felt comfortable asking questions. The explanations during the car ride were mainly in English and Chinese, but he also conveyed important points in Japanese, so we had a completely enjoyable day without any difficulties. Thank you very much.

今回はネパール人のガイドさんでした。
親切な方で、日本人にも積極的にお声がけくださり、こちらからも質問等しやすい雰囲気でした。
車中での説明は英語、中国語がメインのようでしたが、大切なポイントは日本語でも伝えてくださったので全く不自由なく楽しい１日になりました。ありがとうございました。

This tour, departing from Nagoya Station and lasting about 11 hours, allowed us to thoroughly enjoy winter in Gujo Hachiman, Hida Takayama, and Shirakawa-go. Before arriving at each destination, our guide provided suggestions on how to spend our time at each location, which was very helpful.

Additionally, at some of the stops, there was an option for those who wished to explore with the guide, allowing us to enjoy a stroll while listening to their explanations.

After departing from Nagoya, we encountered an accident that caused a section of the highway to be closed, so we had to take local roads for part of the journey, resulting in longer travel time than planned. However, the guide's suggestion to redistribute the sightseeing time at each location was optimal, allowing us to thoroughly explore all the destinations and have a fantastic time.

I am very grateful for their flexible responses. Thanks to the guide and the driver, we were able to spend a very meaningful day and create wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

名古屋駅発着で約11時間のツアーで、

また、一部の訪問地では、希望者はガイドさんと一緒に散策をさせていただくことができる選択肢があり、ガイドさんのご説明を聞きながら、散策を楽しむことができました。
名古屋出発後、郡上八幡までの道中、高速道路が通行止めになる事故があったために一部区間において一般道での通行になり、

臨機応変なご対応に大変感謝しています。
ガイドさんと、ドライバーさんのおかげで、とても有意義な一日を過ごすことができ、良い思い出を作ることができました。
どうもありがとうございました。

Takachiho Gorge was just as beautiful as the pictures and videos I had seen, but the actual scenery was even more enchanting. Not only was the weather perfect, making it a wonderful experience, but I was also very satisfied with the tour guide, who was from China and explained everything clearly after being very well-prepared.

高千穂峡は写真や映像で見たままの景色でしたが、実景はさらに幻想的なものでした。
天候にも恵まれて素晴らしい体験だっただけでなく、ツアーガイドの方が中国の方でしたがとてもよく勉強されていて分かりやすく説明してくれた事に大満足です。
