This trip is an awesome way to see the best of Japan’s culture, history, and nature in one day. You will explore two of the most beautiful and historic places in Japan: Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go, both of which are World Heritage Sites.
You will travel by bus from Nagoya, with a bilingual guide who spoke both English & Chinese who will make the journey fun and informative.
Marvel at the charm and beauty of Hida Takayama, also known as “Little Kyoto of Hida”. Wander through the old streets that have the vibe of the Edo period, and visit the Miyagawa Morning Market, one of the three major morning markets in Japan, where you can find all kinds of local delicacies and handcrafts.
Be amazed by the picturesque scenery of Shirakawa-go, famous for its gassho-style houses. These are traditional farmhouses with steep thatched roofs that look like hands in prayer.

I have given this tour 3 stars because I believe that Viatour were remiss in communicating our booking for this tour to the Japanese tour provider.
We booked on a tour with a maximum number of 25 tourists. On the day of the tour we found that there were around double that number of tourists going on that tour! When we arrived at the meeting place, our names were not on the list. This is despite me receiving confirmation messages and reminder messages. I was able to show these messages to the guide.
Jane, our guide, did a great job particularly given the large number of tourists that she had to manage. The tour was a split of english speakers and chinese speakers.
The bus driver also did a fabulous job!! On the return journey to Nagoya, there was dense fog. It was very, very difficult driving conditions as it was hard to see the road. The driver returned us to Nagoya safely.
I would recommend this tour but preferably book directly with the Japanese tour company and not through Viatour. I think the third party interaction was the problem.

The places are amazing but wished it was more as a guided tour. There is walking and exploring time. So a little bit of research is needed.

We had a fabulous guide who was trilingual (Jap/Chinese/Eng). She gave us clear info and explanation about the tour. She told us which restaurants we must try and also the shops we should visit at Takayama. We also had an amazing time in Shirakawa seeing the old village and houses. We were always ahead in terms of timing and were able to miss the crowd…thanks to the driver! The bus was clean and comfortable.
I highly recommend this trip for those who want to visit 2 UNESCO sites in one day.
