Fantastic day at Shirakawago - Hemi was a very personable and helpful guide. He brought us through the history behind the places we went as well as explained the meaning behind the traditions. Our family enjoyed the tour very much and we will definitely engage them again.

Great Guide and Wonderful Experience - Snow Monkey Resorts was great to work with to arrange this excursion for us. We were a family of 8 with children between the age of 3 and 9 and had seniors amongst us as well. Our guide and driver accommodated our needs and adjusted the itinerary to our needs. The vehicle was comfortable and equipped with a child seat for the youngest child. Enjoyed the narratives provided by our guide and all the additional tips he provided about dining options around Takayama was very helpful too. Would definitely recommend to others wanting. To arrange a private tour of the area.
