Located over 1000 meters above sea level, this picturesque pastoral farm offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and plenty of fresh snow to enjoy! Here you will have time to enjoy playing in the snow, feeding and petting the farm animals, or savouring a warm meal at the farm's restaurant. Your guide will provide each group with a rental sled which you can use on the sledding hill. Additional sleds and other snow toys (snow tubes, snow ball makers, shovels, etc) will also be available for rental/purchase at your own expense. The farm is also home to an assortment of horses, goats, sheep, alpacas, and more. You are welcome to feed the animals, sample locally made ice cream, shop for souvenirs, or just relax enjoy the wintery beauty of the Japanese Alps.

After lunch, we will make our way to Shirakawa-go. Your guide will lead you through the rice paddies and quaint streets that make up this UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will have the opportunity to enter one of the famed thatched-roof houses where your guide will explain the architecture as well as the history (and drama) of life in Edo-era Shirakawa-go. Your guide will be on hand to take photos to make your friends and family back home jealous of your time in Japan. You will also have some free time to explore at your own pace or sample some of the snacks that are sold along the main street. From here, we will return to the Nagoya Station via our tour bus and say our goodbyes there. Guests wishing to end the tour at Shirakawa-go, Takayama, or Kanazawa will be able to do so (please read the FAQ for more information). Feel free to ask the guide for dinner recommendations or instructions back to your hotel.
