The early morning half-day tour allowed us to catch up on sleep on the bus. Because it was early, there were fewer tourists, making it easier to take beautiful photos of Shirakawa-go and avoiding the crowds and difficulty crossing the bridge. It also gave the group members ample time to enjoy the scenery and take pictures. Overall, we were very satisfied.
