“Short tour of Takayama ”
We had a fantastic time with Mao & her 9 mo baby. We toured the best of Takayama and also learned about one of her favorite restaurants well off the tourist trail. We loved it & it was a unique cultural experience. We also loved staying at Sumiyoshi antique ryokan and the food there was Amazing! Mao was very knowledgeable and a delight to tour with. Highly recommend Takayama and Mao!

“A wonderful local perspective of Takayama!”
We had a fantastic 2.5-hour tour with Mao, and she was truly wonderful. Even for a shorter tour, she took the time to carefully plan an itinerary that was perfectly adapted to all of our interests and specific requests. Mao shared great historical facts, but what we loved most was seeing the city through the eyes of someone born and raised there. It gave us a unique, authentic connection to Takayama that we wouldn't have found otherwise. We really enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend Mao for a personal and insightful tour!

“Mao is a thoroughly competent and cheerful guide. ”
We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with Mao, she is one of the best guides we have had anywhere in the world. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Her spoken English is very good indeed and she gave us thoughtful insights into Takayama specifically and Japan in general. Mao communicated with us very well before the tour. She well organised and has been a pleasure to deal with We recommend her unreservedly.

Wondeful one-dayTakayama tour from Nagoya
Takayama is located in the north of Gifu, central Japan. It takes about 2 and half hour from Nagoya by highway-bus. While bus riding, you can enjoy beautiful mountainous scenery, especially in winter, the snow-covered landscape from the bus window is wonderful!! Takayama is an old castle town, I am sure you will have a wonderful time while walking through the nostalgic town street!! Takayama also has a lot of high quality craftsmanship, you can experience such a skillful art by yourself!!
