Takayama is a long day from Kanazawa, a couple of hours or more each way by road, so most trips pair it with Shirakawa-go en route. In town, head for the Sanmachi lanes and try Hida beef sushi served on a rice cracker from a street stall.
Discover the magic of Shirakawa-Go and Takayama on our Platinum Route Tour! Join us for a day trip filled with breathtaking landscapes and cultural wonders.
