Takayama Tour Reviews
“Wonderful day in Shirakawa-go and Takayama”
We really enjoyed our day with Matilde. She had a well organized plan for our visit and communicated everything ahead of time. During our tour, we learned many things about the two cities. Matilde was able to enhance our visit with not only historic and cultural information but also recommendations to assist us with food, post and other regular travel questions. Matilde was great and we thank her for guiding us.

(5 reviews)Shawn, thank you very much for your feedback. What a lovely family! I also enjoyed a lot guiding you in HIDA. Your son enjoyed taking photos, and your daughter buying anime goods. In central Japan there are more enchanting places, so please contact me when you come back to Japan. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Matilde

“Great visit of Takayama and Shirakawa”
Matilde was very knowledgeable. She showed us all the main places. Shirakawa, and its old houses were very interesting to visit. Matilde's English was perfect, and so was her knowledge of the places she showed us.

(5 reviews)Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I really enjoyed taking a walk in HIDA. We were lucky that the weather was good in Shirakawa-go. And the sushi lunch and chocolate shopping were great. For me it was a very nice experience. Please contact me when you come back to Japan. Thanks!
