Take this tour! Wow, what an incredible day spent with Yuta! He is so fantastic and we loved everything about the experience. He is so personable, knowledgeable, and charming. Shirakawago is absolutely breathtaking and Yuta offered so much valuable insight. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Yuta was incredible! His knowledge of English was wonderful. Very safe driver. The tour of Shirakawa village was very informative. He knows his way around and what to do.

This is primarily private transportation from Takayama to Kanazawa, with a stop for time to explore Shirakawa-go. A few minimal tour guide comments. Clean, comfortable ride and congenial driver. Just not really a tour.
