“Today was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our amazing tour guide, Tetsuro! He brought us to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, two picturesque villages that looked absolutely magical blanketed in snow. He shared fascinating stories about their history, including the unique gassho-zukuri houses with steep thatched roofs designed to withstand heavy snowfall. Learning how these villages have been preserved for centuries as UNESCO World Heritage Sites added so much depth to the visit.
The guide’s passion for these places truly brought them to life. My family and I were in awe of the serene beauty and loved walking through the snow-covered paths, taking in the breathtaking scenery. The guide also recommended the best spots for photos, which we’ll treasure forever.
He made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable, ensuring we were warm, comfortable, and immersed in the culture. It was such a magical day for us, and we can’t thank him enough. If you’re considering visiting Shirakawa-go or Gokayama, don’t miss out on having a guide like him—you’ll learn so much and create memories that will last a lifetime!”
