Ainokura is on the bus line between Takaoka and Ogimachi/Shirakawa-go

To go there from Takayama you first take a bus from Takayama to Ogimachi/Shirakawa-go and then transfer to the bus going to Takaoka. Ogimachi/Shirakawa-go is on the bus line between Takayama and Kanazawa

If you opt for JR, there is a more than 2 hr train ride (with 2 transfers) from Takayama to Takaoka and then take the bus down to Ainokura from Takaoka.

Thanks for the answer. Do you tnink is better to rent a car from Takayama instead to go by public transport?

Shirakawa-go is easy enough just by using the bus, but for Gokayama a rental car is a very good idea.

We drove from Toyama and were able to cover Ainokura, Kaminashi, Suganuma and Gokayama Gassho no Sato in a morning.
