Traveler reviews
Mystical village tour
Very mystical experience walking through the historic village in the rain with Very atmospheric low clouds around the mountains. I don't think there would be a bad type of weather to see the village in. Yasushi was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and gave a great introduction to the area on the trip to the village so we had the option to explore freely on arrival. We had an additional tour with him at the Wada house which was worth a village. It was a magical morning just strolling the streets, thank you!
Bucket list visit
Excellent well organised tour from start to finish made all the more special by our knowledgeable and entertaining guide Yasushi.
An excellent tour to unique Shirakawa-go.
Yasushi was the perfect tour guide for our morning visit to Shirakawa-go with Japan Panaramic Tours. Yasushi was both informative and entertaining. We gained an excellent insight into modern and ancient Japan as well as details about Shirakawa-go. The tour was well-organised, the bus comfortable and driving smooth. Shirakawa-go was a special place.
Great trip.
The guide Yasushi was very informative and easy to understand. He was relaxed and helpful. Best guide I have had. Recommend to all friends.
Informative and interesting half day tour
Yasushi was a great tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the small Japanese course at the beginning of the tour. Also, the explanation within the Wada house was very informative.
