Memorable Shirakawa Morning Tour - We took the Japan Panoramic Tour company thru Getyour guide web site. This was an unforgettable tour of the Shirakawa Go and Kanazawa tour. Our guides Aiko and Yasushi were excellent in providing the history, the sights and on top entertaining us with some Japan tradition as custom tips. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour company as well as these 2 lovely guides to anyone.

Shirakawa-go half day tour - The views were fantastic even though the foliage were not available yet. It was a compact half day tour. Aiko, our guide, was amazing in the way she engages the group and her sharings were much appreciated. I joined many tour and I would say she is very passionate. Thank you!

Very good experience, friendly and entertaining staff - Aiko and Yosushi were very friendly and helpful and also entertaining. The bus leaves promptly at 8am, need to get there for 7.50 at least to get your assignes seats. There is a tour along the drive to Shirakawa-go in English but there is also audio guide available in different languages. We only went to Shirakawa-go however there is an option for a full day tour which you can purchase on the bus. They give you a map with recommendations for food and shops, these did not disappoint. Aiko evem helped with taking photos at the observatory. It was raining and the tour supply you with umbrellas. Overall would recommend tour for a great experince.
