Sunrise Takayama & Shirakawa-go Tour

These beautiful pictures are from Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture. Shirakawa-go is designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, and is famous for its Gassho-zukuri. Gassho-zukuri is one of the old Japanese architectural styles, with its feature of steep thatched roof. As it snows heavily in this area, Gassho-zukuri roof makes it easier for the residents to remove snow in winter. It is very rare to see such villages in Japan nowadays, so it is worth visiting!

You can visit the site through our Sunrise Tour.
The tour will also visit Takayama and Kanazawa, where you can explore a folk museum, Kenrokuen Garden, and the old samurai residence. You can start the tour from and end the tour at Tokyo, Kyoto, or Nagoya, so please choose the one that best suits your needs and situation.

Although it is cold in winter, enjoying beautiful snow view, as you can see on the pictures, is also attractive.
