ENGLISH SPEAKING Private Full Day Tour Shirakawago/ Takayama

About this activity

Experience the charm of Japan’s countryside with a private full-day tour from Kanazawa to Shirakawago and Takayama. Explore the historic village of Shirakawago, renowned for its iconic gassho-zukuri farmhouses and stunning mountain scenery. Then continue to Takayama, a beautifully preserved town known for its traditional streets, local craftsmanship, and regional cuisine.

This tour is fully customizable to suit your interests—whether you’d like to focus on history, food, scenic views, or a mix of everything. Travel in comfort with a private vehicle for up to 6 guests, enjoy the flexibility of your own schedule, and take in the breathtaking landscapes of the Japanese Alps at your own pace.

The tour lasts up to 8 hours including driving time and is a round-trip returning to Kanazawa. If you wish to finish your tour in Takayama instead, please contact us for a separate arrangement, as luggage space is limited.
