I contacted the your to make sure that I can be dropped off of the tour at Takayama instead of returning to Nagoya. It was confirmed before I trip. But the itinerary was reversed and on the your day, the local tour guide told me that they are stopping at Takayama as the 1st part and not at the end of the tour before returning to Nagoya. So my plan was all messed up. Luckily, the Japan VIP tour allowed me to get a refund and dropped us at Takayama at the beginning of the tour. The local tour guide (Alan) made sure we got to our hotel at Takayama…Very kind of him!

It was a fun way to explore the 2 places with bus, nice scenery along the way. Shiragawago is tranquil, country lifestyles and serene, while Takayama is more commercial, a few walking streets with many sake tasting and F&B outlets. The Hida Beef lunch (optional) was very good.
The bus was very clean and comfortable, the guide Miss Guo and the driver were both friendly and professional. Guide Miss Guo explained in details on the bus and we were on our own at the destination and able to get back to the bus on time. Overall is a good and valuable trip.

We booked an English tour but was sent in a Chinese bus where nobody spoke English so it was a waste of our time, however the village was very nice

We were joined to and assigned to a Chinese tour guide who do not speak or understand english. We did not understand anything.
