Traveler reviews
Great Tour Experience with Hatsune!
My wife and I really enjoyed this tour experience with our tour guide, Hatsune. One thing we enjoyed this particular tour is because once we arrived to Shirakawa-go, we all got to go off on ourselves and tour the village on our own. Whereas other tours were in a big group and had to go where the tour went. Hatsune provided a bunch of valuable info on the bus ride there about the village which set us up to know for when we arrived. I would highly recommend this tour if you would like to be able to go off on your own and explore the village, eat what you want, etc.
You should go
Good trip to a really lovely village. Definitely felt like the half day was enough. Hatsune is a great tour guide with perfect English.
A Must Do Day Trip
This was an amazing experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Hatsune! Shirakawago was a really amazing place to visit, we learned a lot about the areas traditional industries and delicacies, all of which are situated in an area of sublime natural and architectural beauty. Hatsune did a great job pointing out what things to see and try on the bus ride from Kanazawa, and everything lived up to the hype.
Friendly staff, you have...

Fantastic and perfectly organized morning tour!
This morning's tour to Shirakawa-go from Kanazawa was fantastic in one word! Everything was arranged perfectly and very clearly from beginning to end. The village itself is beautiful and absolutely worth visiting; the unique atmosphere and the historic houses are impressive to see. Gids Hatsune was great. Incredibly interesting information was shared and the fascinating explanation about everything and more made the experience extra special. An absolute recommendation for a visit to Shirakawa-go!
