Beautiful winter visit to Shirakawa-go, Takayama and Hida- no- Sato

We travelled from Kanazawa to experience the winter scenes in Shirakawa-go. Highly recommend this tour - very comfortable and our tour guide Moazzam could not be more helpful. We visited many of the museums in Shirakawa- go including the Wada house and Nagasa house as well as the Myozenji museum and temple. It was a superb introduction to this fascinating and beautiful area. We were so lucky to see it on a sunny winters day. The old town in Takayama was a great stop for lunch and souvenir shopping and we finished off at Hida-no- Sato, Thank you very much Moazzam for this super day.
Wonderful experience

This is the best place that i ever visited. Especially for the food and sight seeing in tokayama and shirakawago, there so many convenience store with the local product. One day tour with one day trip is the best way how to get there. The driver was very good driving. Im very enjoy the moment and the trip was so fun.

We had a wonderful experience on the 1-day private charter tour to Shirakawa-go and Takayama with guide Malik. He was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, making the day smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well paced, and the flexibility of a private tour made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
