Think twice if

Transport to and from Gokayama is excluded, and the villages are 54 km from the Fushiki wharf, about 70 minutes each way by car in practice, and a taxi that far is costly by our tariff estimate, so most people hire a car for the day. No reviews yet. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
