Shirakawago Private Tours

“Mostly Excellent ”

Overall Tetsuji san was an excellent guide. He showed up punctually and was very knowledgeable of the area. He was able to answer our questions and showed us around in a very efficient manner. We went to the observatory, 2 different gassho houses, shrine, and the river. We also enjoyed the restaurant he reserved for lunch. His English was not native level, but more than competent for 4 Americans. We didn't have any issues communicating. He was also very personable. The only drawback was that he wanted to take us to a cafe, but it was too busy so we skipped it. This led to the tour ending about an hour early. This caused half the group to walk around some more by themselves for about 45 mins, while the other half waited at the bus stop.

Thank you very much for nice review including detailed evaluation. I only regrettably feel sad that I didn't help you to enjoy relaxing in a cafe sipping tea of coffee. However, I am glad to know that you are mostly satisfied with my tour. If you have a chance to visit central Japan again, I would like to guide you to other attractive tourist destinations.

“Knowledgeable and friendly guide for Shirakawa-go”

Tetsuji organized a day trip to Shirakawa-go for my multigenerational family group, including arranging for a driver to pick us up from our hotel in Takayama. He is very friendly and speaks English well. He was very knowledgeable about the history and cultural practices of the traditional village, and we enjoyed spending the day with him and learning more about Japanese life from his perspective.

I appreciate your nice review for me. All of your words become my motivation for next job and lead me having chances to meet new guests. I also hope you come back to Japan and share a wonderful time with me again. Please best my regards to your all family members.

“Great day in Shirakawago”

We had a wonderful day with Bonnie as our tour guide in Shirakawago. Bonnie arranged bus tickets for the short drive from Takayama to Shirakawago , and then from Shirakawago we went on to Kanazawa. Bonnie is absolutely delightful, so friendly and kind. We learned so much from her and highly recommend her as a tour guide. Shirakawago is in incredible place. Bonnie also helped me when I left behind an item at our ryokan in Takayama. She took extra time to contact the hotel to explain what happened and it all worked out fine. It was a great day.
