Shirakawago & Takayama Morning Market 🗾 Relaxed Day Trip from Takayama / Kanazawa (Gifu, Japan)

A chilled day trip to Shirakawago, and beautiful village in the Japanese countryside, plus a look at the street food at Takayama Morning Market. ✨ My 300 page Japan guide book : https://cakeswithfaces.co.uk/product/... Shirakawago is a preserved village in the mountains of Gifu, where you can see traditional Japanese gassho style farmhouses with triangular roofs. It's a gorgeous, historic village surrounded by nature, with rice fields, temples, shrines, a relaxing river, restaurants and cafes. I went on a day trip by bus from Takayama (50 mins). You can also go there by bus from Kanazawa. It's an easy half day trip. The video shows where to get tickets at the Nohi Bus Terminal, as well as practical tips like how to take the bus to the observation point for a view of the village, how long you need, where to eat, how crowded it is and what there is to do. It's also gorgeous in the snow if you go in winter! Before going to Shirakawa-go, we take a look round Takayama Morning Market, a perfect place to get breakfast or snacks, with lots of street food stalls and souvenirs. ▶️ SUBSCRIBE for Japan travel videos every Thursday. 🌈 CAKES WITH FACES SHOP (worldwide shipping): https://www.cakeswithfaces.co.uk ✨ FOLLOW CAKES WITH FACES:   / cakeswithfaces   https://bsky.app/profile/cakeswithfac... https://www.threads.net/@cakeswithfaces   / cakeswithfaces   00:15 Takayama Morning Market 05:08 Bus to Shirakawago 07:15 Exploring Shirakawago 10:18 Purin time! 12:25 Observation point 14:07 Tips & walk around 18:58 Regional rail pass #japan #japantravel #gifu #shirakawago #shirakawa
