MemberGetting to Shirakawa-go in a Wheelchair
The local tourist desk got back to me and suggested a taxi company in Takaoka: https://www.takaoka-kotsu.co.jp/ (No English on website though.)
They have both accessible taxis and offer tours.
I contacted them but expect it to be pricy. Will keep you informed!

Looks great (though, I’ll avoid the snow…)
Good idea about contacting the local tourism office. Just used the enquiry form here: http://shirakawa-go.org/mailform2/
We’ll see what they say…

Too bad about the bus not being accessible, but good to know.
So, either go with someone who can drive an accessible rental car, or pay $600-$800 for a driver/taxi – yikes!
Considering this is a World Heritage Site, it is disappointing that the only way for wheelchair users is to pay MUCH more than others just to visit…
Thank you very much! …
