If you enjoy traveling to Japan and experiencing its natural beauty while immersing yourself in the Japanese way of life, this review is a must-read. Traveling independently can be significantly more cost-effective than joining a tour that can cost thousands.

Recommended places to visit after arriving at Nagoya Airport are:

1. Takayama offers a charming and authentic rural atmosphere, with delicious food, stunning natural scenery, and an abundance of beautiful attractions.

2. Shirakawa-go (Gifu Prefecture), a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled amidst the mountains, boasts breathtaking scenery. During this season, the village is adorned with vibrant autumn foliage, while in winter, it transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, offering a different kind of beauty.

Both cities are easily accessible by bus.

Bus tickets

  • It is recommended to take the bus and buy an unlimited pass for the most savings. It is a "SHORYUDO Highway Bus Ticket". You can choose either a 3-Day Bus Pass or a 5-Day Bus Pass to suit your trip. This will be the most economical and worthwhile option (we chose the 3-day option, which costs around 2,000 baht). You can choose which company to buy from and pick up your ticket at Nagoya Airport (Subu Airport). It is recommended to book online in advance, as it will be cheaper, and then pick up your ticket at the airport when you land.
  • The ticket can be used to travel to many places, including Nagoya – Takayama / Nagoya – Shirakawago / Gifu / Kanazawa – Toyama. It's a great value for money, just don't lose your card. Keep it safe.

Takayama: A Charming Town with Much to Offer

Upon arriving at Takayama Station, those heading to Shirakawa-go can book their tickets in advance to secure a seat, as the journey takes approximately one hour. If you opt for a private car like ours, there's no additional cost, as it's included in the 3-day pass. However, without a pass, individual tickets can cost up to 4400 yen. Therefore, considering the cost-effectiveness and convenience, especially for those planning extensive sightseeing, a 3-day pass is highly recommended.

Now, let's delve into the captivating town of Takayama itself. What treasures await exploration within its boundaries?

The town exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly locals adding to its charm. (We highly recommend a visit! You won't be disappointed.) Renting a bicycle is a fantastic way to explore the town, allowing you to soak in the fresh air and breathtaking scenery. The rental fee is a mere 600 yen per day. (We'll provide the location details later.)

Cycling is a great way to explore the city. Some of the highlights include the morning market, the ancient city, and the Red Bridge.
