A nice tour started off in Takayama Jingya where our guide Yushi San explained the history of shogun, and Takayama is probably the last jinya available injapan. Good to have such guide to explain as he has been a carpenter and understand hiw the ancient building was constructed, otherwise we could not appreciate the visit. Only issue is that we need to bare foot or with socks to walk more than an hour in Jingya which was cold. Aftershock that we visited old town street and miyagawa morning market, but was already quite late and most stores were packing up. After an hour of free time, we were picked up by a small bus and went to Shirakawa-go, unfortunately it is snowing heavily, hence, we did not see much of the scenery. However, it was an experience walking on snow. Visited one of the village house and it was very interesting. We don't have free time and also missed the observatory point due to heavy snow. The entire trip was well organized and guide was good and experienced. He also can speak English quute well but with Japanese accent. Overall an interesting and nice tour. Need to walk a lot.
