What to expect
Join the two-day tour departing from Osaka and visit Japan's two most famous old villages. Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1995, Shirakawago is famous for the traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old. Some homes are accessible to the general public. You can sample local foods at small snack stations, cafes, and restaurants. Stay one night at OKADA RYOKAN HONKAN - Hirayu Onsen. Relax and enjoy your time at a well-established ryokan, which includes an open-air bath under a star-filled sky. The hot spring water, which can reach temperatures of up to 90 degrees Celsius, is said to be effective in treating gastrointestinal and rheumatic diseases as well as nervous disorders and skin diseases and is used as a therapeutic hot spring. Please savor the delicious Japanese kaiseki food that the chef is proud of. Next day, visit Takayama's old town, which has been beautifully preserved with many buildings and whole streets of houses. Don't forget to stop by and try some Hida Wagyu-based dishes
Reviews
It’s so good 👍 Tours with Japanese people Can speak only a little English But he was able to communicate. Review it on the page “Pai Tum Rai”
Overall, the experience was great and incredibly smooth. However, it was in Shirakawago that the tour truly shone, as it proved to be an incredibly picturesque destination. One highlight of our visit to Shirakawago was the museum, and I highly recommend getting the museum ticket. It provided valuable insights into the local culture and history, enhancing our appreciation of the area. Additionally, the onsen experience was delightful, offering a relaxing and rejuvenating break during the tour. The food served during the trip was also satisfying and complemented the overall experience.
There were only three of us in the tour group who were outsiders. The tour guide Masuda San was very considerate and would explain it to us again every time. It would be better if we could have more time to play.
