Gifu Inuyama Castle, Ena Gorge Observatory, Magome-juku & Tsumago-juku Day Tour | Depart from Nagoya
2026/09/30
The itinerary was well-planned, and the tour leader was very professional, enthusiastic, and friendly, meeting all expectations. However, the bus seats were too cramped; even at 155cm tall, I felt a bit confined. Although it rained, the ancient trails were still very beautiful.
