This was a very basic bus trip to Kanazawa with a two hour stop at Shirakawago. There is no guided tour or information given along the way. Also, we were expecting a six hour excursion, but arrived in Kanazawa after about 4 hours. Smooth trip but a bit overpriced.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you had a smooth journey. We also appreciate your comments regarding the tour description, travel time, and overall value. Our service is a transportation plan with a stop at Shirakawa-go rather than a guided tour, and we'll continue reviewing our descriptions to ensure this is communicated more clearly. Your feedback is valuable as we work to improve our service, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

Excellent service. Very interesting and comfortable trip. The stop at Shirakawa-go allowed plenty of time to walk around the historic village. Rest stop perfectly timed.

I wouldn’t call it an experience. More like a bus ride with a long stop over. And the price is a little too high for that.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the itinerary and pricing and will use them to help improve our service.
Amazing trip, just an hour to Shirakawa-go and we had 2 hours there then another hour or so to Kanazawa. Definitely recommend this trip

Bus punctual and good driving, meets established schedules, clean. They were exhausted the rest of the transfers to shirakawa go and finding this bus saved us.
Muchas gracias por sus comentarios. Nos alegra saber que el servicio fue puntual, cómodo y útil para su viaje. Esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente en el futuro.
The experience was horrible. I can’t found the bus stop. One hour walking front a place to another with the lugage. I don’ t take the bus.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to join the bus. Had you contacted us by phone, WhatsApp, or email at the time, we would have been happy to guide you to the meeting point. We would also like to note that the meeting point information provided in your booking confirmation clearly states that the meeting point is located on the west side of the station, along with detailed directions.
If you are travelling between Takayama and Kanazawa with luggage and want to stop and visit Shirakawa-go for a couple of hours on-route, without the stress of worrying about getting your cases onto local buses, or if local buses or coaches have underneath storage areas, this is a comfortable and easy option. Seats recline and there is lots more leg room compared to local buses.
Thank you for your helpful review! We’re glad you found the journey comfortable and convenient, especially when traveling with luggage. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again! LIMON Team
