Hi there,
The best way from Kyoto to Gifu is to take:
- the Shinkansen from Kyoto station to Nagoya station
- the Special Rapid Train from Nagoya Station to Gifu Station
The journey takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. However, keep in mind that Shirakawa-go is still farther away from Gifu station. You can find more information about visiting Shirakawa-go with the Japan Rail Pass in our blog post here.
Here are some of the great places for a day trip from Kyoto:
Himeji: Home to Himeji Castle, one of Japan's most impressive castles.
Uji: Famous for its green tea production and the beautiful Byodo-in Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Arashiyama: Known for its beautiful natural scenery, including the iconic Bamboo Forest, the Togetsukyo Bridge, and the Tenryuji Temple.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
