The location listed on Viator is not correct.
The tour does not depart from the location they provide. When you go to the location this company lists on Viator you find an ally too small for buses to drive down, with no one there.

Well-organized trip to Shirakawago and Takayama
This was a short visit to Takayama and Shirakawago. I had to contact the tour operator for the voucher since I didn't receive it before the tour, but it turns out I didn't really need it as the tour operator already had my name and the bus seats were assigned ahead of time. Keep in mind that although the tour says a maximum of 30 travelers, you'll be on a bus with others who opted not to have the lunch. The tour operator did a great job of explaining details, options for what to do, gave us maps with highlights, and even connected with all of us via Whats App to remind us of the departure times and uploaded photos, maps, and other details. The lunch was also well-organized with assigned seating and everything running on time. When we arrived back at Nagoya station, he gave us recommendations for dinner near the station at the Esca Underground Mall. Overall, it was a great experience, even though the weather in Shirakawago didn't cooperate well during the day.
