How can I book maxi-taxi or mini-bus for 8 adults at Shirakawa-go for Sunday 22 Nov at 1300?
What cost for approx 2 hours Shirakawa-go along Hakusan White Road to Kukube Falls and return, including some walking time and sightseeing stops?

Thanks Eric. We are interested in jumbo taxi for 8 people on Sunday 22nd October departure at about 1300 from Shirakawa-go bus terminal, for sightseeing on Hakusan White Rioad, and return to the bus terminal approx 3 hours later at 1600. (I had previously thought 2 hours was enough, but now think 3 hours are needed, perhaps including a bit of time driving around sites in Shirakawa-go and nearby.
regards, Peter

I'm not trying to burst your bubble - but Japan does not have a large number of large taxis and these are almost non-existent in rural Japan. As such - it may exist but I highly doubt that you will find an 8 person taxi in Shirakawago

I have gone to some out-of-the-way places in rural Japan, and have hired a taxi for several hours to tour. The last time was in Oboke in Shikoku to see the Kazurabashi vine bridges. I just contacted the local Taxi company and they're more than willing to negotiate a flat fee, which was incredibly reasonable. We treated our driver to lunch with us.

If you go to Tripadvisor, and search for Takayama Taxi, there is a Medix Taxi company which should be able to help you. You might need two separate taxis (though there is a picture of a van on the tripadvisor page). There is another company, Happy, which does tours, and they may be able to help you.

Many thanks indeed to each of you for your very helpful responses.
I was aware of the bus from Kanizawa aklong Hakusan White rd, and will probably do that as far as Shirakawa, then transfer to normal bus to Takayama (instead of return on tour bus to Kanizawa).
But we want to explore if jumbo taxi is available, as that wd give us more flexibility (incl time to trek). Yes,personalised tour on jumbo taxi does seem possible from Takayama and return, so a taxi cd meet us in Shirakawa, do the tour, then drop us at our Takayama hotel as planned that evening. But if i can find a local, that wd be even better/cheaper. English language desirable but not essential. I will ring the tourist office.

To Oenophile Angler (love your nickname), by coincidence, we do plan similar as you from Sunriver in Oboke along Iya Valley. I found on web a company Iya Valley Tours there with jumbo taxi. Was that who you used? i am glad to note you had good experience there, and hope the fish were biting!

thanks a lot
Peter

The Taxi company is Ooboke Taxi and they have a website in English. I actually booked through a tour company called Veltra, which acted as a middleman.

Here is the taxi website.

We had a 4.5 hour tour for three people and it cost about 20,000 yen. This was July, 2018.

By the way, we stayed at the Iya Onsen Hotel, a medium sized Onsen Ryokan, and I highly recommend it. We had a private bath in our room/suite and the meals were fantastic!
