Reviews: Nagoya to Shirakawa-go & Hida Takayama: UNESCO Heritage 1-Day Tour
Guest User2025-09-23
This was a group tour with tourists from all over the world. The guide spoke Chinese, English, Japanese, and even Korean. It was a real challenge, and we were so competitive.
The bus was almost full.
The drive seemed to take about an hour, with a 10-minute stop at the Takayama service area, where everyone could do some shopping, use the restroom, and take photos.
We stayed in Takayama for two hours, and it was a pretty tight schedule.
We rushed to attend the Miyagawa morning market in Takayama, which closed at noon. We enjoyed some popular favorites like beef sushi, cat cafes, seasonal fruits, and milk. We also visited Takayama Jinya, the former headquarters of the Japanese government.
The Shirakawa River trip took another two hours, which was also quite tight. The route involved lining up for a bus (300 yen) to the summit. The famous Shirakawa scenery was all captured from the summit.
After descending, we visited a few more houses, but time was limited, so we only visited one or two. There was a fee for admission.
