Takayama Explore Gokayama e Shirakawa go

The was a truly fantastic tour! Our guide, Harry, was so knowledgeable---about the area, the villages we visited, the history, the people of the region, silk making, the gasho houses and their thatched roofs, even geology! He helped us imagine what life might have been like in rural Japan in the Edo period. Harry was enthusiastic and interesting and charming, as well as an easy conversationalist. Absolutely first rate! The tour route was very smart--- we got to visit two smaller, much less crowded villages before Shirakawa-go, and that made all the difference. A terrific day!

We took this tour to Shirakawago and two smaller villages with Harry. The ride had spectacular views and the two quiet smaller villages were a joy and a great choice by our guide. We found them more charming than Shirakawago due to the setting and fewer tourists. Shirakawago had more to see however and Harry did a great job making all the info interesting. Ask for him when you book. ... Bobby G.

The tour was a great experience. The guide and the driver were very attentive and provided a very special tour.

My girlfriend and I booked a day trip to these UNESCO villages. Our guide, Flori, knew how to answer every question, was super friendly, and explained everything. Highly recommended.

I loved the experience! It was only me and my boyfriend. Our tour guide was Flori!!! We loved her, such a wonderful person, very kind, fun and patient and knows a lot about history!!!

We enjoyed the visits to the Unesco villages so much. Our friendly guide Harry is very enthousiastic and knows a lot about the history and culture. He is the best!

We went on a private tour today with Harry. It was very nice, good information. Really recommend to go on a tour with Harry.

Harry was an exceptional guide! This was one of the highlights of our trip. The villages were absolutely beautiful, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire region was stunning. Harry’s explanations were clear, insightful, and incredibly interesting. He shared the history, culture, and traditions of the area in such an engaging way that it truly felt like taking a journey through Japanese history. Thank you, Harry, for making this experience so memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

We visit the most beautiful historic villages there, from the smallest to the largest and famous Shirakawa, because it is interesting to see more than just this historic village. Harry, our guide, was extremely attentive to us and passionate about the subject. Thank you for having us take this very pleasant tour.
