ENGLISH SPEAKING Private Full Day Tour Shirakawago/ Takayama

During our recent travels to Kanazawa, I wanted to spend a full day in Takayama. Unfortunately, the standard tour packages offered by most companies were limited to just a few hours. I reached out to Beyond Kanazawa tour company to inquire about customizing a package that would cater to our needs. It was then that I had the pleasure of interacting with Rina, who proved to be an exemplary representative. She was very professional, efficient, and always responsive. As it turned out, Rina not only helped us plan an incredible trip but also accompanied us as our tour guide for a memorable 10-hour excursion. Her extensive knowledge of Japanese history and her infectious enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Throughout the day, Rina ensured that we proceeded at a comfortable pace, allowing us to fully absorb the sights and sounds of Takayama. She picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back on time. She gave us so many local recommendations that were on point. For anyone traveling to Kanazawa i highly suggest to use this company.

It was excellent service and support starting from the time when activity was booked right to the end. The team was very helpful and provided service beyond expectations. Meal recommendations at Takayama and Kanazawa was spot on! Food was excellent and of great value and definitely where locals frequented. Pickup was puntual, drive was safe and Rina was an excellent guide. She was cheerful, sincere and knowledgeable. Kudos to Rina! You made our daytrip a memorable one !

If you want to see what Japanese small villages looked like in feudal era, Shirakawago is the site to see. I had expected Takeyama to be such a place but as charming as some parts are, it does not have the same feel. Yet, I liked it and was pleased that our guide found some shops that were of interest to my husband and others to me. Very good driver. And didn’t talk too much.

Great tour! Liam, our guide, was friendly, punctual, informative and showed us all around shirakawago and Takayama! We were very comfortably in his vehicle and we learned all about the region as well as his life in Kanazawa…would highly recommend this tour!

We had a fantastic day with Rina! Our private tour started in Kanazawa and ended near Toyama. In between we saw the favorite tourist spots we requested. Rina also suggested some other less crowded spots that we enjoyed even more. We really appreciated Rina’s kind and knowledgeable service on our tour.

Liam treated us to an amazing day! We had a great experience and loved learning about this magical part of Japan! We loved the lunch in Takayama trying the waygu beef and Liam took us to a fun sake tasting too! Great day! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing day, beautiful places, beyond expectations!! Liam has a lot of knowledge and it was fascinating to hear and travel with. Thank you very much Liam for a fun and lovely day, for doing everything from the heart , and more.
