    The tour guide was very dedicated and gave many tips for exploring Shirakawa-go and Takayama independently, as well as for enjoying the local cuisine. However, the stopovers were too short: rest area Michi-no-Eki – Shirakawa-go 15 minutes: restroom, freshening up, and visiting the small Gassho Museum? The interpreter (Japanese to English) had a monotonous voice. To us, it sounded bored. We returned at 4:45 p.m. half an hour earlier.

  • Wonderful experience....
