Vé di động
Hidden high in the mountains of central Japan, far from the hustle and bustle of metropolises like Tokyo and Osaka, lie the quaint and well-preserved townscapes of Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Once a direct land holding of the Shogun, Takayama will enthrall you with its beautiful woodwork and traditional streets that offer a more relaxed beauty than cities such as Kyoto and Kanazawa. Shirakawa-go, on the other hand, offers a great example of the village-life experienced by Japanese farmers of ages past, and still experienced today by those lucky few who call it their home. Led by a locally-based and English-speaking guide, this experience will enthrall you with visions of life in Japan during an era very different from our own.

5.00It was a rainy day, but Flori was a friendly, interesting, engaging and knowledgeable guide, so she made it all fun and seamless. There was one other couple who joined us, so we were a small group and I really appreciate how Snow Monkey tours are such a nice and manageable size. Flori expertly showed us all around Takayama and then she suggested the best ramen place for lunch where all the locals eat lunch and it was delicious and very affordable. Then we took the bus to Shirakawa-go and walked in the rain, but Flori made it interesting and fun. Finally Flori seamlessly guided us to a different bus so we could go to Kanazawa and all luggage transferred from one bus to the next easily. Thank you Flori!
Great tour

5.00Today we had a wonderful experience visiting the old town of Takayama and Shirakawa-go. One of the reasons the tour was so special was our guide, Harry. We didn't expect an Englishman to give the tour, but we certainly weren't disappointed with Harry. His knowledge was top-notch, and he was extremely personable. The tour was on our first day in Takayama, so we got acquainted with the city, and particularly the Old Town. Harry pointed out places of interest and several little gems about the place. We then took a very comfortable van ride to Shirakawa-go. Though the small town is very touristy, we enjoyed it for sure. The setting is incredible, and again, Harry was well-versed in the history and ways of life in the village. Over it was an enjoyable day and highly recommended.
Do this tour!

5.00We really enjoyed this one-day tour with our native English-speaking guide, Harry. Harry is knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as Japanese culture, and offered us suggestions on the best places for photographs. We liked that we had some “free” time to explore on our own. This tour was well worth it.
