This was an excellent tour. Rina was our guide and brought a comfortable vehicle straight to our hotel. It is a bit of a drive but we were prepared. It was also interesting seeing the countryside on the way. We also left earlier to avoid crowds and a long line up to drive in. I highly recommend leaving early. The line up to enter the area was huge when we left. We loved learning about how these buildings were constructed. You could also tour inside some buildings which was worth it. There is also a nice hike up the hill that we enjoyed to see the site from above. If you like a slower pace to your tour and like looking at all the trinket shops you may want to add another hour to this tour.

Shirakawa-go Private Tour
We loved our day out with Rina. She was so knowledgeable and accommodating and it felt like we were hanging out with a local friend. We are a family of two adults and three kids and we all think it’s one of our best days out in Japan so far.

Wonderful experience with the tour
Rina is our tour guide. She is amazing! I booked this tour for my parents aged close to 70 years old to enjoy the trip without hussels. Rina provided a great historical information about Shirakawa-go and services on the rides, taking pictures, and all the supports that we need. She is lively and fun to be with! We had a wonderful experience with the tour! I recommended this tour, especially Rina.

Very interesting and fun
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our time with Liam, our guide. The village was fascinating and Liam was charming and knew the places well..
We did think that the tour could have been a touch more proactive, perhaps with ear pieces so we could all hear what the guide was saying
