Not to be missed, only regret is that we did not stay back there for the night. We did a day trip by Nohi bus on our way from Kanazawa to Takayama. We took the first bus out from Kanazawa, deposited luggage at the luggage counter behind Nohi bus station office and went on a walking tour around Shirakawa go. Loved in particular the trek up hill and also the one over the bridge on to the waterfalls and the other part of the town. We enjoyed matcha ice cream and food in the small shops along the way. We also visited a small museum which was quite interesting. Delightful place with lovely autumn leaves, beautiful thatched roof houses.

I have been there in last autumn; it was impeccable time to visit this amazing village surrounded by mountains and divided by a river. It felt amazing just to gaze upon the scenery.

Joined a day tour to Shirakawago and Takayama from Nagoya. It snowed the day before we arrived, so there was a bit of snow over the rooftops of the houses. Not the same as the snow covered roofs we see on pictures, but nevertheless beautiful. We arrived around 3:30pm in the afternoon so most of the tour groups were set to go home. Take note however, that when arriving this late, you might not be able to take the shuttle up to the main observation point as the shuttle service ends at 4pm. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to walk uphill to the observatory but it was worth it as the view from the top was breathtaking. The walk downhill was obviously easier and faster. By 5pm, it starts to get quite dark so there was not much to see anymore. And since it was winter, most shops have already started to close. On the plus side, we got to see the sun set over the horizon, and that view is again a beauty. I would definitely visit again and maybe book an overnight stay early on in order to enjoy the village more.

Definitely a must visit location in Shirakawa-go. It's about 30 minutes hike and provides a brilliant birds eye view of entire town. Plus there's ice-cream at the top.

This suspension bridge in Shirakawa-Go connected us from the Bus Parking lot from which we came to the UNESCO town of Shirakawa-Go. We came on January 4 and it was pretty crowded so quite a bit of people on the bridge. Also, the bridge will move and shake while you are walking on it.

Not center of Gassho village, but easy to access by car for take a rest. You can have cheap local eats and local souvenirs. Gassho museum is inside and free admission. So, you can learn Gassho house at air-conditioned place.
