A Private Journey from Nagoya to Kanazawa
via the Nakasendo, Takayama and Shirakawa-go
Enjoy a seamless private car journey with Nagoya hotel pickup and Kanazawa hotel drop-off, exploring the Nakasendo, Takayama and Shirakawa-go along the way. Your luggage remains with the vehicle, allowing you to enjoy each place without the inconvenience of separate transfers.
Born and raised along the Nakasendo, and connected with the people of Takayama for more than fifty years, Ryo shares the local stories and cultures that have shaped these historic places over generations.
2-Day or 3-Day Journey
Travel Light, with Your Luggage
Your luggage remains with the vehicle while you explore historic post towns, mountain landscapes and local communities. At the end of the journey, you are dropped off directly at your hotel in Kanazawa.
Two Ways to Experience the Journey
The two-day tour brings together the essential highlights efficiently. The three-day tour offers a gentler pace, with more time for local history, culture and quiet exploration.
What Makes Ryo a Different Kind of Guide?
Born and raised along the Nakasendo, Ryo does more than guide the way. He curates each journey through local stories, family history, craftsmanship, landscapes, and encounters that reveal a quieter side of Japan.
For Ryo, the Nakasendo is not simply a destination. It is home.
