Day 13: Takayama – Day trip to Shirakawago
Shirakawago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved gassho-zukuri houses. As it is only about a one-hour bus ride from Takayama,
it is popular as a day trip. You can make bus reservations in advance on Japan Bus Online.
Half a day in Shirakawago can be spent checking out the traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses at the Gassho-zukuri Minkaen; the Shiroyama Viewpoint
observation deck; and the Wada, Kanda and Nagase Houses, which are open to the public as museums. The town also has restaurants that offer
traditional Japanese menus and gift shops for local products and crafts.
Day 14: Takayama to Narita Airport
Takayama is quite a long way from Narita Airport, so start early to ensure you catch your flight. Board a Ltd Exp (Wide View) Hida train to Nagoya Station,
leaving Takayama Station before 7 in the morning. Then, transfer to a Shinkansen going to Shinagawa Station. From there, you can take the Narita
Express to Narita Airport. The whole trip takes about six hours and is fully covered by your JR Pass.
