Ishikawamon Gate was rebuilt in 1788 in the Edo period. Roof of Ishikawamon gate looks very white, sparkling and beautiful. Why white? It is because lead is used for the roof and it became weather white. It is nice to see panoramas of the castle from the gate.

The garden is one of the three most famous landscape gardens of Japan with ponds, streams, 8200 trees, stone lanterns, tea houses, small bridges, and etc.  This garden is also called a "feudal lord garden" as it started to create about 340 years ago by the 5th lord Maeda of the Kaga clan.

Kanazawa One Day Tour

Kanazawa Full Enjoyment of One Night & Two Days Tour from Tokyo

After we walk around the morning market in Takayama, we leave for Shirakawa-go from Takayama at 10 A.M. and return to Takayama at 5 P.M. using bus.   we enjoy at Shirakawa-go for 3 hours.

In Shirakawa-go, there remain about 110 thatched houses with steep raftered roofs which look like a pair of hands held togethered in prayer.
  The steep roofs, inclined at 60 degrees from the horizontal, are constructed of timber bound with neso, a kind of rope made from hammered saplings of young mansaku trees.

First I would like to take you to Wada house which is the biggest house in this village and designated as a nationally important cultutral property.  When you enter the house, you can see traditional Japanese architecture.  Do you know what it is ?  
The wide attics have two levels and were used to rear silk worms to make silk, which was the main income source of region.  It was the smoke which came out from the fireplace on the first floor and was absorbed by the pillars and beams that protected the building from humidity and insect damage.

Furthermore, if it's fine, you can see the whole image of the village from the observatory in Ogimachi Park. 
I can assure you that you enjoy a wonderful view of Shirakawa-go in each season.

This tour assumes that travellers start at Takayama.  Please join this tour after you enjoyed the tour of  "Takayama (Little Kyoto)."  !!
And next day  I would recommend you join my tour of "Kanazawa Golden Tour".  An hour drive take you to Kanazawa from Shirakawa-go. 

Shirakawa-go Village

This tour takes you to UNESCO World Heritage Site "SHIRAKWAGO". 
In the Edo period, how people lived in the village surrounded by mountains? How did they make a living? 

You can explore traditional thatched-roof houses and enjoy the picturesque landscape. This one day tour takes you to unique gassho -zukuri houses and savor local cuisine. The winter season, with its snow-covered scenery, adds an extra layer of charm to the experience. 

The tour would be 7-8hours duration depending on bus schedule you could book.
