Shirakawa-go tours

Going to the meet up point was a breeze. We were there at 8:10am and departed at 8:22am. Our guide Kaku explained in korean, chinese, japanese and english. Takayama was a bit more fun with the shops and Hida beef ( I recommend Suzuya for it’s good pricepoint) Shirakawa was more laid back and time was spent looking at houses (some were closed bec it was a Wednesday) was able to try Hida milk and soft serve. The hida beef croquettes were good to! Good tour!

we go 3 places in one day, it is good if you have not much time but wanna sight-seeing more. we have to be punctual all the time , because the driver won’t wait for any late passengers if they late for more than 10 minutes.

Visited Shirakawago & Hida Takayama during non-peak season (a weekday in Jun 2024) was a splendid experience. Both places were not overcrowded, though some shops were closed. Highly recommend Menya Shirakawa (serving Takayama-style ramen with pork bone broth & fish flakes). Special thanks to energetic and caring tour guides (Tsutsumi -san and Yukie-san) who made the road trip very enjoyable. They enthusiastically introduced point of interests in Japan (beyond Shirakawago & Hida Takayama). Featuring a photo of Mount Haku (covered in snow) taken at resting stop.

This is the happiest Klook group I have ever joined! Thanks to tour guide Moon and driver Master Ding for their care and arrangements. Our group members are coming to the Philippines and Singapore. Thank you for taking care of us. We spent a wonderful two days with you! This time I took a small and medium-sized car, which was relatively comfortable. Moon also specially arranged for us to check in to see the snow. The southerners said they were really happy! We also went to eat roast pork with our group mates and tour guide, it was cheap and delicious. I don’t think Kenrokuen Garden is interesting because it rained that day and the cherry blossoms were not in bloom in mid-March, which was a pity. The hotel I stayed in this time was nice, and the shampoo products were very moisturizing and suitable.

It was a great experience. Shirakawago is a must see plus you also get to visit Takayama. To be honest, there is not enough time to truly explore both stops. But if you're only in Japan for a few days, then going on this tour will do to at least to get a glimpse of Takayama and Shirakawago. What also made me choose this tour is because it stops at the Shirakawago viewpoint. Amy, our tour guide, was amazing. She gave us tips to maximize the short time we had on each stop. Many thanks to Amy and our driver also.

This tour allowed us to explore the less accessible Ainokura village in Gokayama which is less touristy than the popular Shirakawa-go area. The duration allocated for both villages are appropriate. We are also very lucky to get a guide who is well versed in English.

The tour was great for a small group. We are able to go all the places in this itinerary. Will recommend this activity.

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 !
