Overview

My WhatsApp: +86 17701598788 This trip is an awesome way to see the best of Japan’s culture, history, and nature in one day. You will explore two of the most beautiful and historic places in Japan: Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, both of which are World Heritage Sites. You will travel by bus from Nagoya, with a bilingual guide who spoke both English & Chinese who will make the journey fun and informative. Marvel at the charm and beauty of Hida Takayama, also known as “Little Kyoto of Hida”. Wander through the old streets that have the vibe of the Edo period, and visit the Miyagawa Morning Market, one of the three major morning markets in Japan, where you can find all kinds of local delicacies and handcrafts. Be amazed by the picturesque scenery of Shirakawa-go, famous for its gassho-style houses. These are traditional farmhouses with steep thatched roofs that look like hands in prayer.

Beautiful area to explore

Published on Nov, 2024

Beautiful location. This tour gives a lot of free time to explore both Takayama and Shirakawa. Advice is provided for the best shops and sites to check out, which made exploring less confusing. Would recommend for anyone looking for a trip out of the city while in Nagoya.

Good trip

Published on Sep, 2024

Well organised tour. Guide introduced us to locations on the bus before arriving and always gave us recommendations from what to eat or visit + advices on how to manage time on site. Guide was very kind and friendly

The most efficient historical day trip

Published on Apr, 2024

We had a fabulous guide who was trilingual (Jap/Chinese/Eng). She gave us clear info and explanation about the tour. She told us which restaurants we must try and also the shops we should visit at Takayama. We also had an amazing time in Shirakawa seeing the old village and houses. We were always ahead in terms of timing and were able to miss the crowd…thanks to the driver! The bus was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this trip for those who want to visit 2 UNESCO sites in one day.
