Things to do in Higashi Chaya District

Nice tour! Aiko, our tour guide, has much energy to explain everything and give many good recommendation. she has very nice, lovely and speak good english.

Magic place thanks to the snow ! If you want to go during a less crowded moment this tour is perfect.

2024/12/30 group, there was no snow on the ground, but the snow scene in Shirakawa Gassho Village on the mountain was really beautiful, but the snow also started to melt that day, so I was lucky to have time to see the thick snow. The nectar boiled fish for lunch was the most impressive It is profound, can be eaten whole and is very delicious. The Gokayama terraces are covered with thick snow and are also very easy to take photos.

This is a recommended tour. especially Japan Panoramic tours. our guide, Aiko-san is very nice and knowledgeable about the place. the tour was very convenient and fun. our guide also provided us with some facts about the place and recommended a lot of restaurants. i would suggest you do the tour on the first day in Kanazawa

Our group of seven had an amazing day tour at Shirakawa-go! The tour was well-organized, stayed on schedule, and the guide gave clear explanations throughout. They managed our group seamlessly and even offered helpful tips on saving money, along with great recommendations for worthwhile experiences. The village was stunning, and the tour felt both enriching and budget-friendly. Highly recommended!

Aiko, our guide, was amazing! great energy and made sure we learned about Japanese culture and the places and activities that we did throughout the day.

extremely well run, your guide was informative, well spoken, and humorous. I highly recommend to all!

We arrived early aroud 6:30 and no one there. First we little anxious after read reviews about people get confusing with meeting poin and not sure it was right or not. but ended it was right, the guide not bring a sign at first then after that another one bring a flag the tour name. or if you don’t mind you can ask them if they are the guide or not. 2 hours is enough for walking around Shirakawa Go except you want to go the observation deck by bus (if you lucky you can immediately hop in, but if not you need wait around 25 minutes). The guide will give you a map to walking around but actually it’s kinda confusing. The food really delicious, lucky us is snowing when we came. So the sceneries really incredible, also at Takayama was snowing too. Takayama called little Kyoto, you can buy sake there but for us who don’t drink alcohol can try experience enjoy tea time at cafe with tatami. The guide really nice and helpful, we not really rushing like other tour and it helps for make the trips more simple
