Same here! I adored that day. And it was something that *never* would have been on my radar if ABD hadn't included it. I believe it was Tomomi who said that Shirakawa-go is a bucket-list place for a lot of Japanese! And we made it there!Beautiful- one of my favorite days on the Japan AbD.
You know the saying... a rainy day on vacation is better than a bay at work LOL! Sure sunshine would have been better, but a little rain didn't dampen my spirits. I felt sorry for the ABD behind us who had to deal with the Typhoon. That only affected our post ABD stay. We ended up staying three more days because we could not get a flight out.@Stuchang - another fabulous video! Shirakawa-go looks just magical in the rain like that! I hope it wasn't too bothersome!

I'll tell you, if I'm going to be caught in a Typhoon while on vacation, I'd want it to be with ABD taking care of everything! Where did you end up staying for the extra 3 days??You know the saying... a rainy day on vacation is better than a bay at work LOL!

Oh the worst of places.... Tokyo Disneyland resort area. Started at the Disneyland hotel, ended up at the Sheraton when Disneyland hotel wanted $750 per night. Got Sheraton on points.I'll tell you, if I'm going to be caught in a Typhoon while on vacation, I'd want it to be with ABD taking care of everything!

I remember that. I know a bunch of the folks that were on that trip!Funny about the talk of being stuck in a typhoon while on an ABD. That actually happened to us. We were on the DIS exclusive China ABD a couple of years ago when a typhoon hit Hong Kong.
