When we arrived in Tokyo on 12 April, we were sad to realise that we'd missed the cherryblossoms this year. So we were delighted to find that when we arrived in the Takayama area a few days later, the season there was at its peak. We took the Hida Satoyama cycling tour on 16 April, and it was very special... More

We were in Takayama on the weekend of April 19th to 21st and were very lucky to experience the cherry blossom. When we booked the Hida Satoyama cycling tour, I was told about the festivities happening in Furukawa over that weekend. This is where the tour office is situated. Furukawa is about 20 minutes by train from Takayama. Despite the... More

Thank you so much for writing a wonderful review. First of all, I'm glad that you enjoyed the festival. You had picked up right day to come to Furukawa without knowing it. Seeing how people engage in the festival is definitely great experience along with seeing the exciting Okoshi Daiko and beautiful festival floats. We couldn't have the good weather... More

I was the only person in the tour for the day so it turned out to be a private tour. I was also lucky enough to have two guides, Hisa who had been with the firm for some time and Misa who had literally just started. Throughout the tour I got very detailed explanation of what we were seeing and... More

You were really lucky to have two staff for yourself. It's a bit special case, but that day Misa joined in the tour for her training since she started working with us recently. I think it worked well for you. I'm glad you have enjoyed the explanation we do in the tour. There are lots of things to show around... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our bike ride organized by the Hida Satoyama Cycling company in Takayama, Japan recently. The highlight of the ride was a combination of the breathtaking scenery and the excellent tour guide organization and information given by our guide, Hisa. Arie and Shlomit Livne, Israel.

Thank you so much for your comment. As you have written, because the other group cancelled the tour, your one became just like a private tour, which was so much easier for me to show more about the countryside. You were very lucky to have a chance to see the traditional festival in the region. If the timing hadn't been... More

Your review reminds us of what we can offer here for our customers. I'm glad to know you have mentioned about our guides. Without our guides, our tour is nothing. People can ride around in the countryside and can see good scenery, but they never know stories behind it. That's what we can help. Our guides have good knowledge about... More

I recently finished a 2 week vacation traveling through Japan during its sakura (cherry blossom) season. I spent 5 days each in Tokyo and Kyoto, a few days in an onsen (hot springs) on Miyajima Island, and a few days in an onsen in Takayama. Everywhere I went, the sakura was blooming and it was so serene and beautiful. I... More

On a crisp 6C Spring day in Hida Furukawa we had the pleasure of riding excellent bicycles through the local district. Hisa did a wonderful job of leading us through the relatively flat local terrain which has many points of interest. It is a great way to see the real Japanese countryside and experience meeting some local folk. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for taking time to write a review. I'm very glad to know you enjoyed riding our bicycles and meeting the locals. Having a guide who can connect you with them makes a big difference since there are few locals who can speak English. The Japanese countryside has got a lot to offer. I'm happy that you... More
