Nagoya

Before departure, an administrator will contact you and add your driver information. It's very convenient to contact them via Line. The drivers will arrive early and all speak Chinese, so communication is not a problem at all. The chartered car is also very spacious and comfortable. I will definitely book again if I need it next time!

Remember to check your mail before departure. Meet at the convenience store early in the morning; there are many tour guides there, and they all know each other, so you can easily find your guide by asking around. This time, we met Ms. Miyamoto, who speaks fluent Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. She provided detailed explanations and was very friendly. Although the group tour only allowed for a quick look, the time allotted was sufficient, and with the guide's sharing, we got a clear overview of the key points. The Gassho-zukuri village is definitely worth hearing the stories on the bus before actually exploring it. It's not quiet, but it's very charming. We encountered a vehicle malfunction along the way, but Ms. Miyamoto and the driver handled it well, quickly sending another car, so the trip wasn't significantly delayed. However, perhaps due to this or traffic restrictions in the city (October 6, 2026), we encountered traffic congestion on the return trip. If you have restaurant reservations planned, I suggest booking at a more flexible time to avoid rushing. (We booked for 7:30 PM, and with the buffer time, we arrived just in time.)

Seeing the beautiful Gassho-zukuri village and enjoying delicious Hida beef! Thank you to our guide, Liu Mei, for helping us plan the key routes by drawing a map, and then letting us choose the places we wanted to visit! I think that was so important. It was a very efficient day trip; even with just one child and a stroller, we were able to explore smoothly. It was fantastic!

I've used many eSIMs before, but this is the first one that's so easy to install, affordable, and fast... It was the best!

Yukino was very thoughtful and professional. All the group members were excellent and punctual. The weather was fantastic 👍, and the restaurant was very clean.

Driver Bian was very nice, with excellent driving skills and punctuality. The car was comfortable, and the point-to-point service was very convenient, eliminating the need for us to find our way. Because it was raining that day, we wanted to change our itinerary, and Bian was happy to contact the company to see if we could make some minor adjustments.

On the way there, we stopped at the Hirugano Service Area for a break. On the way back, we stopped once at a parking area that only had a restroom. I wish we could have stopped at the Hirugano Service Area again on the way back, or at least somewhere with a convenience store. However, thanks to that, we arrived at Nagoya Station before 6:30 PM, much earlier than our original 7:00 PM schedule, which was good. In Kamikochi, almost everything only accepts cash, so I recommend bringing cash. It's easy to get to Kamikochi, so I recommend it.

The park is very thoughtfully designed; it would be best to stay overnight at the park's hotel for convenient access to water activities. Even on weekdays, the park isn't crowded, making for a very pleasant experience.

This was a day trip on September 22, 2026. Our guide that day was Gu Rong (Xiao Gu), who was incredibly attentive, gentle, and responsible. I was very lucky to have met her. The temperature was around 18 degrees Celsius that day, with some sunshine and a gentle breeze, making it very pleasantly cool. The scenery along the way was absolutely stunning!! Every turn revealed a view that made me gasp in admiration! I highly recommend it! Also, at 3 PM that day, I saw a line of people waiting to take the bus down the mountain—it was almost 500 meters long! I was so glad I joined the day tour, which included a private shuttle!
