KANAZAWA ITINERARY (A Day Trip From Kanazawa) Shirakawago 4H
“Beautiful Shirakawago”
Yoko has brought us good luck where we were greeted with snowy white Shirakawago in the middle of March. It was snowing heavily the day before our tour. It has the most beautiful view from every corner. Yoko has managed perfectly by sharing the history of the town and showing us different parts of the town. We had a toddler who threw tantrums from time to time. Thank you Yoko for your patience and also she brought us to this restaurant that serves melt in your mouth Hida beef and good quality Japanese Sake from Takayama region. Many thanks Yoko!

(15 reviews)I appreciate your kind words. Boy, 22 months old, was our hero. Snow, socks, sake, and many things about Japanese, our talk was endless. It was a wonderful time spent in Shirakawago with a happy family. Thank you so much.
“Best possible guide.”
Yoko’s guidance and intuition made a day in Kyoto fun and memorable. We laughed and learned the entire day.
