Overview

This is a regular sightseeing bus that visits the Gassho villages of Gokayama-Ainokura and Shirakawa-go, which are world heritage sites, with the help of a bus guide.
We will take you to Gokayama Village and Shirakawago Gassho Village, which are difficult to reach on your own, in a safe and comfortable chartered bus.
Please enjoy your lunch at Gassho Village in Shirakawa-go.
This tour is a regular sightseeing bus guided by a Nohi Bus bus guide. We will provide you with a higher-grade, more comfortable bus journey while providing you with up-to-date information that cannot be found in guidebooks, such as the charms of world heritage sites, how to spend your time there, and the food and dialect of the Hida region. You can participate even on the day of departure if there are seats available. (However, we may refuse your reservation if the seats are full.)

Activity itinerary

Ainokura Gassho Community
  • 50m
We will guide you to the Gassho Village of Gokayama Ainokura, a World Heritage site. In the Ainokura Gassho-zukuri Village in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, there are 20 Gassho-zukuri houses still in existence, and you can see a variety of Gassho-zukuri houses. People still live in these gassho-zukuri houses.
The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go Gassho Style Houses
  • 2h
Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site, is a village where 114 thatched gassho-zukuri houses still retain the nostalgic scenery of old Japan. The steeply sloped triangular roof, which is unique to regions with heavy snowfall, resembles the shape of hands joined together, which is why it is called a gassho-zukuri house. Feel free to stroll around the village for as long as you like. * You can also enter "Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Minkaen".
Shirakawago Gassho Zukuri Minkaen
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
During the walk, you can also enter the "Gassho-zukuri Minkaen". (Entrance fee is included) *The park is closed on Thursdays from December to March. (If the park is closed, we will give you our original mascot.)
Tenshukakau Observatory
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Located on a hill in the northwest of Shirakawa-go, you can overlook the Shirakawa-go gassho village. The view from here is the one you often see on posters. The gassho-zukuri village of Ogimachi is coloured by the nature of each season, making you feel as if you are in a fairy tale world.
