What you can expect

  • Begin your scenic day trip with convenient departure from Nagoya towards the mountainous Hida region. First you’ll arrive in Takayama, often called the “Little Kyoto of Hida”, where time seems to stand still amid beautifully preserved Edo-period streets, sake breweries, and traditional wooden houses. Enjoy free time to stroll the Sanmachi Suji historic district, visit the Miyagawa Morning Market, and savour local specialities such as premium Hida beef for lunch. Next, travel by comfortable coach deeper into the Japanese Alps to the UNESCO-listed village of Shirakawa-go, famed for its iconic gasshō-zukuri farmhouses with steep thatched roofs built for heavy snow. Walk through the village lanes, explore centuries-old houses like the Wada House, and take in panoramic views from an observatory point overlooking the valley. This full-day experience seamlessly blends cultural immersion, historic architecture, and breathtaking rural scenery, giving travellers a true taste of Japan’s heritage and countryside charm.
