Deep in the mountains of Japan lies the quaint villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, with their beautifully preserved gassho-style houses. These UNESCO World Heritage Sites, some of the buildings are over 250 years old, gives a glimpse into the ways of Japanese traditional farming communities. On the way from Kanazawa to those stunning sites, there are other historic towns such as the woodcarvers of Inami. Being far from the large cities of Tokyo and Osaka, enjoy walking through a town which continues its tradition of woodcarving to this day. On the shops, in the temples and on signs are beautiful examples of this living history. The entire region was once home to many different kinds of local crafts, such as Japanese style paper making, an activity that you can do on this tour. Enjoy a day long bus tour from Kanazawa where you can see expert wood carving, try your hand at paper making and see the UNESCO World Heritage sites Shirakawa-go and Gokayama traditional homes.

This day trip to Shirakawa-gō and Gokayama was incredibly well organised and a fantastic way to explore the region from Kanazawa. Meeting the group at Kanazawa Station was simple and convenient, and our group of 14 felt just the right size. Our first stop, the peaceful woodcarvers’ town of Inami, was a real highlight - beautifully quiet, full of character, and home to the stunning all-wooden Inami Betsuin Zuisen-ji temple. We loved spotting the little hand-carved cats tucked around the town. Gokayama was equally special. Our guide recommended a lovely spot for a quick soba lunch, and we had the unique chance to make our own washi paper, which we could take home. Shirakawa-gō, while famous and undeniably pretty, was much busier and more commercial, though visiting the head monk’s home and the adjoining temple was very worthwhile. Although we booked the tour mainly to see Shirakawa-gō, we ended up loving Inami and Gokayama the most - and we never would have discovered them on our own. Highly recommend this tour for a rich and varied day out!

The wood carving and paper making villages were a great way to start the day, and both have a more relaxed feel than when you get to Shirakawa-go which was pretty busy even though I was there on a cold and very rainy day. The driver and guide were great, Ellie our guide was really informative and friendly. The pacing of the trip was good, we had enough time in each place, although maybe it would feel more rushed if the weather was nice and you really felt like lingering, but I think it was good.
Great time at great places

I had a great experience visiting Inami, Gokayama and Shirakawa-gō with my friends. It's not crowded so we had a pretty immersive experience! Highly recommend the tour! Our guide Daniel was super nice and we got to learn a bit about the religion aspect of Japan. We were also able to get a good time roaming around and enjoying some free time.
Great tour with an awesome tour guide

We had a thoroughly enjoyable full day tour of Inami, Gokayama, and Shirakawa-go. The arrangement by the tour company was seamless and Garrett, our tour guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed the serene history of Inami, the historic wood carving town, and the hands-on paper making activity in Gokayama. Highly recommended!

Basically the tour is a means of transportation to the place. Few explanations and activities with the guide. Micro bus tight. They don't even offer water.
