Summer Limited One-Day Tour: Shirakawa-go Gassho Village & Hida Takayama Old Town & Gujo Hachiman (Departing from Nagoya)

About this activity

【Shirakawa-go Gassho Village】 Shirakawa-go is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with crisscrossing rice paddies and meandering rivers, earning it the name "Kingdom of Forests and Streams." The village of Ogimachi in Shirakawa-go is one of three villages (Shirakawa-go, Ainokura, and Suganuma in Gokayama) registered as World Heritage Sites, and it has the largest number of houses, with 152. The Daishirakawa River, flowing from the sacred Mount Haku, merges with the Shokawa River and becomes turbid and white, which is the origin of the name Shirakawa-go. The Shiroyama Observatory is located in the northeast of Shirakawa-go Ogimachi Gassho Village, offering a panoramic view of the Gassho Village and the continuous Mount Haku.

【Stroll through the Old Streets of Hida Takayama】 The center of Takayama City, located in the northern part of Gifu Prefecture and the central area of the Hida region, has preserved the complete form of a castle town and merchant town since the Edo period, earning it the nickname "Little Kyoto of Hida." Visitors can stroll through the "Sanmachi" area, built during the Meiji and Taisho eras, savor local delicacies such as Hida beef and Takayama ramen, and admire handicrafts that embody the superb skills of Hida artisans. Hida Takayama is full of charm everywhere.
