Takayama is a common gateway to shirakawa-go, a famous UNESCO site. I've been there once 7 years ago and I've always wanted to bring the husband to visit it one day. it's too picturesque to be missed. everyone should really go visit it once in their lifetime.
from Takayama, it's ~ 50mins bus ride to shirakawa-go village. with our JR pass, we were able to use it to board the Nohi buses which will bring us there.
waiting for our bus to come around 9AM. the boys chose their breakfast for the day - tuna mayo onigiri
we reached at ~ 10AM and had the most enjoyable day there before we took a bus back to takayama at ~ 3PM. LOVELY place!

the boys easily entertained themselves with whatever we came across on. :P
we visited some of the gassho houses there which were converted to museums to have a look at the structure/layout inside and some of the stuff used by the older days folks

such a lovely day trip for us. by the time we were back at takayama, we still have the late afternoon +evening to explore the equally lovely old town. :)
