Great way to see this unique, historic village. - Our guide was great. He was friendly and helpful and made sure we had a great experience. Not having to worry about managing bus schedules to get from Kanazawa to Shirakawago really took a lot of stress out of the visit. Shirakawago was definitely worth the time to visit. The light rain and mist really gave the mountain village a unique and beautiful dimension.

Great Shirakawago half-day tour and excellent driver-guide - Trip was amazing. Scenery was beautiful. Drive-guide, Norihiko, is friendly and courteous. He met us at the hotel lobby and explained the trip prior to the start of our tour. He inquired about our plans and provided great suggestions to enhance our trip. He communicates well.

Excellet Guide. - Our guide, Nozoumi, was the most favourite part of our tour. She is so kind, sweet, patient and really knows so much. She answered any question that we had with so much more information. She was truly an excellent guide and an even more wonderful human being.

Private tour: Shirakawago and Takayama - We had a great full day tour with Mai as our driver/tour guide! Though we were hoping for a snowy Christmas village setting in Shirakawago and takayama, there wasnt any snow yet. But the weather was great! Mai had great smooth driving skills. She was also very kind and patient with us

Beautiful scenery assisted by a great tour guide - We had a wonderful experience at Shirakawa go with Mai. At first we were sad when we found out that it was not snowy at the village (as we expected a snowy version). However Mai was wonderful, she brought us to try Hida beef and a nice sake at the village. We extended our tour and had the chance to walk around at the village.
