“Fabulous day in Takayama ”
We had an absolutely fabulous day with Bonnie as our tour guide in Takayama we started out with a beautiful bus ride to the northern Japanese Alps to take the Shinhotaka Ropeway. It was absolutely stunning. Then we visited Old Takayama, which included a lucky stop at a local festival, which she arranged. We tasted sake and saw many local traditions. Then off to Hida Folk Village. It was a really fun day. Bonnie is very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned so much with her as our guide. We left our sunglasses on one of the local buses and thanks to Bonnie they were located! Highly recommend.

“Great day in Shirakawago”
We had a wonderful day with Bonnie as our tour guide in Shirakawago. Bonnie arranged bus tickets for the short drive from Takayama to Shirakawago , and then from Shirakawago we went on to Kanazawa. Bonnie is absolutely delightful, so friendly and kind. We learned so much from her and highly recommend her as a tour guide. Shirakawago is in incredible place. Bonnie also helped me when I left behind an item at our ryokan in Takayama. She took extra time to contact the hotel to explain what happened and it all worked out fine. It was a great day.

Takayama and Shirakawago in 1 day
How about spending 1 day to visit both Takayama and Shirakawago? This tour departs from Takayama and we will spend first 2 hours in Takayama and then depart to Shirakawago for 3.5 hours walking tour. If the group is staying in Kanazawa for the night after the tour, it is not necessary to come back to Takayama.

I'll guide main part of Takayama and local place. We'll go old town, morning market, sake breweries, shrines and temples area, also good cafes or eateries. Also I can arrange a plan where you want to go like to see cherry blossom, to walk in country side.

Wondeful one-dayTakayama tour from Nagoya
Takayama is located in the north of Gifu, central Japan. It takes about 2 and half hour from Nagoya by highway-bus. While bus riding, you can enjoy beautiful mountainous scenery, especially in winter, the snow-covered landscape from the bus window is wonderful!! Takayama is an old castle town, I am sure you will have a wonderful time while walking through the nostalgic town street!! Takayama also has a lot of high quality craftsmanship, you can experience such a skillful art by yourself!!

Best of Takayama & Shirakawa-go Expedition
Start your day with a trip to Takayama's morning market, one of the 3 largest markets in Japan. Then, take a relaxing stroll through the old town, beautifully preserved for 300 years since the samurai period. In the afternoon, you will take a trip to Shirakawa-go and see its traditional thatched roof houses, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Please let me know your special interests, and I will happily customize the tour for you, especially activities or food you'd like to try!
