Takayama & Shirakawa-go One Day Tour from Takayama

Guide Florentina was fun and easy going. She explained all details and did not rush during the process. The itinery was planned out well and our transportation to Kanazawa Station was a breeze. Thank you again Snow Monkey! 🤙

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.

Takumi san is a great guide, and the tour is very interesting, you get to know Takayama and Shirakawago. In case you want to continue to Kanazawa, the guide helps you.

it's one of the best choice that we had. the tour was perfect from the pickup till the drop off point. they think all of the small details including the slipper when we are in the takayama jinya which if not wear it, it will be super cold.. the itenary is ok, we have enough free time to go with our own pace as this i a private tour (consist ls 6 person). I thank you the tour guide, Gary which is very knowlegeable and patiently answering queries from us including from my children plus able to take great pictures as well (it comes with the price hahaha).. the driver was also drive very well. I really recommended this tour for you.. two thumbs up !! P.S : Shirakawago is amazing during winter, feels like you travel to another dimension on earth.. no word can describe it.. you should try !

Our guide Yoshi was great! Explaining the history at Takayama Jinya and walking us to the old town before we took a private bus to Shirakawago. It was snowing heavily and so cold for us tropics folks but it was still a lovely experience. Thank you, we will visit again during other seasons!

The reservation was well worth it. Our guide (Mr. Mikasa) was polite and genuinely cared that we learned various things about the Japanese route and culture. We would definitely do it again.

Yuko San is amazing. She’s knowledgeable, attentive and professional. She gave us important background of the places we go without boring us and answered every question we posed. She knew I was collecting stamps, so always reminded me when there’s one. The driver who eventually dropped us in Kanazawa was also the nicest!! I couldn’t recommend this tour enough

Fastastic way to explore Takayama and also Shirakawago. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided a lot of insights to the history and background of of the places that we visited. and I enjoyed the different recommendations while going around the old sanmachi streets of Takayama. the whole day was entertaining and we got to take in a lot of the good things that the place has to offer at a leisure pace. I like that the pick up and drop off was at JR station Takayama. Making everything all that much more convenient.

Wr had a wonderful day our learning about both the areas. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and took his time to show us around.
