Great value for the price! Perfect for first-time visitors to Shirakawa-go and Hida, offering a good introduction to these two beautiful and classic Japanese destinations. Note that the Hida Old Town morning market completely closes down by 11:00 AM, so for a more in-depth trip next time, arrive earlier to explore it. You can leisurely stroll through the lively Hida Old Town attractions in about 2 hours, taking your time to eat and enjoy the experience. Shirakawa-go is supposedly beautiful in winter, but be aware that the parking lot needs to be cleared by 5:00 PM. Many people also take the bus to and from the village. Next time, I'll look for a day trip to Shirakawa-go.
