    We had a wonderful day with our guide Ali exploring Shirakawa-go and Takayama. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and spoke excellent English. The tour was perfectly organized, and we learned so much about the history and culture of both places that we would have missed on our own. Ali's passion for the region made the experience truly special. Thank you for a memorable day! 5 stars!

  • A very enjoyable tour

    Visiting Shirakawago in the summer is much different than visiting in the winter. Both are unique experiences and worth the visit. A must visit place.

  • Great guide - great sites- great day.
