Your adventure begins as you meet your tour conductor at Nagoya Station. Here, you’ll board the comfortable tour bus and embark on a scenic journey toward the beautiful mountainous regions of Japan. As we head toward Hida Takayama, you will have the opportunity to wander through this charming town, often referred to as "Little Kyoto" due to its well-preserved Edo-period streets. The peaceful atmosphere and the historical buildings provide a perfect setting for an independent stroll. Take your time to explore traditional merchant houses, visit the local markets, or just enjoy the tranquil surroundings. You’ll also have some free time for lunch (on your own expense), where you can savor local delicacies such as Hida beef or other regional specialties.

Next, we will visit the iconic Shirakawa-go, known for its unique gassho-zukuri farmhouses with steep thatched roofs. This picturesque village is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has remained largely unchanged for centuries. As you stroll through the village, you’ll feel like stepping back in time. With the surrounding mountains as a backdrop, the harmony between nature and these historical buildings is truly magical.
