Continuing from my previous post, I was in Takayama. This morning, I woke up to embark on a one-day trip to Shirakawa-go. Getting to Shirakawa-go is not difficult, but it requires knowing the timing, bus schedules, and some minor details. The first thing to check is the bus schedule, which shows the departure and arrival times for each bus, as well as the fares. You can find the schedule here: https://www.nouhibus.co.jp/english/highwaybus/shirakawago.pdf. The "R" indicates buses that require seat reservations. Be aware that reservations are often unavailable on weekends, so book well in advance. Since I couldn't get a seat on a reserved bus, I waited at bus stop number 4 for the regular bus departing between 9:50 and 10:40. If the bus is full, Nouhi Bus will provide an additional bus. So, you'll definitely get there. Oh, I forgot to mention the price. I bought a round-trip ticket to Shirakawa-go for 4420 JPY.

The bus ride took almost an hour. The snow was falling heavily. The picture below shows the bus stop in Shirakawago. The weather looked terrible, but I was still wearing my regular sneakers. It was very slippery.

Due to the inclement weather, my partner and I slipped and fell several times. As a result, we decided not to ascend to the viewpoint and instead walked to the city's iconic bridge. While we were disappointed, we prioritized safety and opted not to take any unnecessary risks. To compensate, I have included a photograph of this angle in Shirakawa-go taken by Wing Tung Yu.

This review features only images of the village, where the snow is piled up to a meter deep.

This image speaks for itself. It captures the essence of Shirakawa-go, a charming village nestled in the Japanese Alps.

This place is very popular among Thai people. You can hear Thai language everywhere you go. It's not lonely at all.

During the summer, the land is likely used for agricultural production. However, during the snowy season, it is unclear what activities take place. If anyone has accurate information, please provide it.

The falling snow is the epitome of "cozy".

The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet from various angles. I chose a route that is not the main road.

This image is clear. Haha, it's snowing. (Seniors told me to be careful when it snows.)

Is it edible? I really want to pour red and green syrup on it. It's so fluffy!

Many of you may be wondering why my photos are in black and white. I assure you, I am using color mode. Haha! But why are the photos coming out in black and white? Haha!

I had planned not to buy an umbrella, but it rained so heavily that I had to fork out money to buy one so that I could take photos more conveniently.

After a long walk around the city, it's time to head back. It's getting cold and I'm feeling tired.
