Memorable experience - We booked Kanazawa Tours for a private transfer from Takayama to Kanazawa with a stop in Shirakawa-Go, and it was an excellent experience. Our driver and guide, Yuuka, was an absolute delight! She shared interesting details about the areas we passed through and gave us a wonderful guided tour of Shirakawa-Go. Her insights made our visit so much richer and more memorable. On top of that, her car was spotless and super comfortable, making for a really pleasant journey. It was a fantastic day, and I highly recommend this private tour and drive with Kanazawa Tours!

Great experience - This was a fantastic experience. Not only were we picked up at our Airbnb but our tour guide took us to shirakawago to tour but then took us to a less crowded gasho style home where we got to have tea and learn about the home history from the family who has owned it, 19th gen. The drive was smooth and relaxing. Highly recommend.

Efficient way to see Shirakawa-go in getting from Takayama to Kanazawa - This is primarily private transportation from Takayama to Kanazawa, with a stop for time to explore Shirakawa-go. A few minimal tour guide comments. Clean, comfortable ride and congenial driver. Just not really a tour.
