Explore Shirakawago comfortably with a private sightseeing experience by car and professional driver. Discover the UNESCO-listed Ogimachi village, traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, scenic mountain views, and historic streets while travelling between locations in a private vehicle.
Your experience begins with pickup at your preferred location in Shirakawago, followed by a customisable sightseeing route based on your interests, available time, and preferred destinations.
A typical Shirakawago itinerary may include:
• Ogimachi Village
• Shirakawago Observation Deck
• Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine
• Wada House
The suggested itinerary can be customised based on your interests, available time, and preferred destinations. You may spend more time exploring the village, visiting traditional houses, enjoying local food, shopping for souvenirs, or taking photographs of the surrounding scenery.
Your private driver will provide comfortable transport between selected sightseeing locations, allowing you to explore Shirakawago without navigating public transport.
This experience includes 12 hours of private car or van service with a professional driver, allowing you to travel comfortably between your selected sightseeing locations throughout the day.
Available Vehicle Options:
• Private Car (up to 5 guests)
• Private Van (up to 9 guests)
The maximum guest number refers to passengers only and does not include the driver.
If you would like a private tour guide to accompany your group between locations and ride in the vehicle, an English-speaking guide upgrade is available. The guide will require an additional seat in the vehicle, so please make sure your selected vehicle has enough available seats for your group size plus the guide.
For groups requiring transport for more than 9 guests, please book in advance so we have enough time to arrange a suitable larger vehicle. Buses are also available for bigger groups.
Optional English-Speaking Tour Guide Upgrade:
For guests who would like deeper cultural explanations and local insights, an English-speaking private guide can be added.
• English-speaking guide
• Up to 12 hours of private guide service
If you select the Tour Guide Upgrade, please book in advance so we have enough time to confirm availability and arrange your requested service.
Please note that the guide meeting time does not need to be the same as the vehicle pickup time. If you add a tour guide, you can choose your preferred guide start time after booking, while the vehicle service will follow the confirmed schedule.
Whether it is your first visit to Shirakawago or you want to experience its traditional architecture and peaceful mountain scenery, this private sightseeing experience gives you the flexibility to explore Shirakawago comfortably and at your own pace.
