What to expect
🏯 Day 1: Takayama and Shirakawa-go Our first destination is Takayama. Known for its beautifully preserved old townscape, Takayama retains a strong sense of traditional streetscapes and historic atmosphere. Next, we’ll visit Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its Gassho-zukuri houses, built over 250 years ago. 🏠After sightseeing, we’ll stay overnight at a hotel in Toyama Prefecture. 🏔️ Day 2: Tateyama and Murodo Plateau The next day, we’ll head to Murodo Plateau🌄 in the Tateyama area, at an altitude of 2,450 meters. In spring, massive snow walls approximately 20 meters high appear. Walking along these massive snow walls, known as the "Daisetsu Kairo"🌨️, is an awe-inspiring experience and one of the most unique highlights of this tour🥶📸

"We had an amazing experience visiting Shirakawago and the Snow Wall! Everything was well organized, and the trip was smooth from start to finish. Shirakawago was absolutely beautiful with its traditional village scenery, and the Snow Wall was truly breathtaking — The atmosphere, views, and memories made this trip unforgettable. Thank you for the wonderful and great arrangement. Highly recommended! The break stops along the way were great, giving us time to rest, clean toilet stop, and make the trip more enjoyable. The accommodation was also very good — clean, comfortable, and pleasant after a long day of traveling.
We would like to thank Toshi San for his perfect guidance and good planning for our trip to Takayama, Shirakawa-go and Tateyama Snow Wall visit. He is very well organised and helpful every step of our visits. Thank you Group 11
Shirakawa-go is a timeless village with beautiful gassho-zukuri houses, surrounded by peaceful fields and rolling hills. Mount Kurotakitatebu boasts stunning mountain scenery, letting us immerse in nature and feel pure calm. Together, they made this journey full of culture and natural beauty truly unforgettable. Thank you so much to our guide for the wonderful arrangements!
Tateyama snow wall on D2 definitely is the highlight of this trip. Get food on D1 nite in Takaoka to eat on bus after snow wall as there is no lunch stop on D2. But the view on Tateyama is worth it. ps note subject to weather condition. we r lucky to get clear blue sky so pic turn out great. when we descend, the sky got foggy..
the trip is good and recommended. the driver has good driving skills which I don’t feel sick over the hours road trip. the tour guide is super friendly and helpful. of coz the view is stunning is worth to go once in a life.
I like the tour arrangement without rushing us. There have enough time for us to explore the tourist place. Although when the time we arrive murodo, it's raining. But stil can enjoy the view. Highly recommend the trip. It's worth.
Our tour guide, Ms. Amy, is an English teacher. She accompanied us with a smile from beginning to end. There were introductions in Chinese and English on the bus. The driver also worked very hard to drive for more than 500 kilometers. The distance along the way was really long, but he tried to let everyone find as many rest stops as possible! The hotel where we stayed at night was also very good, and the breakfast included was quite delicious. It was not until I got to the top of the mountain that I saw the beautiful scenery. I felt it was worth it. If you can't do it yourself, you can still take advantage of this small group to go together❤️It is worth recommending
This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Japan. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and well balanced, with comfortable rest stops during the bus rides. The scenery and attractions were beautiful throughout the trip. Our tour guide, Yukari, was friendly and informative, giving clear explanations and great local food recommendations. The hotel was comfortable and having an onsen made the experience even better. Overall, a very enjoyable and memorable tour that we would gladly recommend.
Highly recommend this tour. Itinerary was well paced. Bus drive has pit stops every 1 and a half to 2 hours. Sites were stunning. Tour guide Yukari gave clear instructions on our schedule, sites to see and restaurants recommendation. Hotel was good, had onsen.
