  • Long trip, maybe not worth the payoff for some

    Worth a day trip, but the tour guide doesn't provide much. You don't get enough time in Takayama, but Shirakawago was great scenery, culture, and architecture. . In all, a lot of driving, but maybe not the payoff I was hoping for since my time is limited.
