Takayama & Shirakawa-go yhden päivän retki Takayamasta

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! 🤙

Mukava kierros alkoi Takayama Jingyassa, jossa oppaamme Yushi San selitti shoguneiden historiaa, ja Takayama on luultavasti viimeinen jäljellä oleva jinya Japanissa. Oli hyvä, että meillä oli tällainen opas selittämässä, sillä hän on ollut puuseppä ja ymmärtää, miten muinaiset rakennukset rakennettiin, muuten emme olisi osanneet arvostaa vierailua. Ainoa ongelma oli, että meidän piti kävellä paljain jaloin tai sukissa yli tunnin ajan Jingyassa, joka oli kylmä. Sen jälkeen vierailimme vanhankaupungin kadulla ja Miyagawan aamutorilla, mutta oli jo melko myöhä ja useimmat kaupat olivat pakkaamassa tavaroitaan. Tunnin vapaa-ajan jälkeen meidät noudettiin pienellä bussilla ja menimme Shirakawa-goon, valitettavasti satoi lunta rankasti, joten emme nähneet paljon maisemia. Oli kuitenkin kokemus kävellä lumessa. Vierailimme yhdessä kylän taloista ja se oli erittäin mielenkiintoista. Meillä ei ollut vapaa-aikaa ja missasimme myös näköalapaikan runsaan lumen vuoksi. Koko matka oli hyvin järjestetty ja opas oli hyvä ja kokenut. Hän puhui myös englantia melko hyvin, mutta japanilaisella aksentilla. Kaiken kaikkiaan mielenkiintoinen ja mukava kierros. Tarvitsee kävellä paljon.

Takumi-san on loistava opas, ja kierros on erittäin mielenkiintoinen, hän tuntee Takayaman ja Shirakawagon. Jos haluatte jatkaa Kanazawaan, opas auttaa teitä.

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!

La reserva mereció la pena. El guía (Sr. Mikasa) fue educado y preocupado para que aprendiéramos diferentes cosas de la ruta y cultura japonesas. repetiríamos.

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.
