If you only have a few days in Nagoya and want to experience the Shirakawa-go Village and Takayama, this would be a great way to do so. Although you only have 90-120 minutes per stop, its enough to see the sights and taste the food. It's not one to go shopping for hours and immerse in the culture. Our English-speaking guide, Leonardo, helped in making key suggestions on where to go, what to see, what to eat and how to get there while we were on the bus. So we easily got to identify how to maximise our time. He even had recommendations on where to go and what to eat near the Nagoya station. His thoughtfulness and initiative ensured that we made the most out of our quick trip!

It was our first time to Nagoya and so we had to rely on the tour to know a bit about the surrounding places.

Good!

Duration for Takayama visit is too short and rush with just 90 minutes stop. A 30-60 minutes extension will make the trip more pleasant.
