Reaching Shirakawa-go

Hi there,

Kanazawa and Takayama have the most frequent bus services with Shirakawa-go. Reaching Takayama from Tokyo is around 240minutes while Kanazawa is just 177 Minutes. So my advise would be to travel via Kanazawa.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks, that´s helpful.
We will travel to Shirakawa-go and from there to Kamikochi, going to Takayama after, and this might be out of this forum ambit, but maybe you can point me out the right direction. I was thinking there might be some kind of pass between these 3 places for the bus. Do you have any idea on that?

Hi again!

I am not aware of any bus pass here. I am also not aware of any direct buses from Shirakwago to Kamikochi, as far as I know you always have to travel and make a transfer at Takayama or Matsumoto.

The bus company is called nohi bus: http://www.nouhibus.co.jp/english/

Maybe you could ask them directly.
