Natural charm and serene

5.00Despite the volume of tourists, the village still maintains its charm. A very well maintained and organized World Heritage site. There are many private day trip options to go there from Nagoya, but we chose to take the earliest bus there and didn't return until later afternoon. This allowed us to walk through the village at our own pace and had some quiet moments to soak in the vibe away from the crowd.
Convenient enough, and the stay in Shirakawa-go is long enough

5.00The pick-up point is very close to Nagoya Station and is easy to find by following the navigation (it's just opposite the Lawson convenience store). The snow scenery in Shirakawa-go is so beautiful. When I arrived in the morning, there were not many people and it was very quiet. The snow on the road was still white, just like a fairy tale town. I really recommend taking the early bus to take pictures. There will be more people when the tour groups arrive later. .
A worthy experience

5.00Beautiful scenery. Totally worth a visit. Value wise, we went around and had an incredible experience even without a guide. The driver was also friendly and pretty good at driving. It was a safe trip. Totally recommended.
