Step into one of Japan's most timeless landscapes on a private day tour from Takayama. Walk through Shirakawa-go's UNESCO World Heritage village with your own English-speaking guide, step inside centuries-old thatched farmhouses, and take in panoramic views from above the valley. No coach crowds, no fixed pac. Just your group, your guide, and a village that has changed little in 300 years.
