Detailed itinerary

The townscape, which retains an atmosphere unchanged since the Edo period, is an old town designated as a group of important traditional buildings by the national government, and is called "Mizu-no-sato" (the town of water) because of the waterway that runs past the eaves of the houses.
The waterway is still used as water for daily life, and visitors can enjoy strolling through the scenery where the waterway and town houses are integrated.

Hida Takayama retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, which is like stepping back in time. Strolling along the old streets, you can enjoy shopping and dining while experiencing the history of Hida Takayama, where you will find traditional Hida handicraft stores, traditional sweets shops, and specialty restaurants.

Shirakawa-go and the Gokayama Gassho-Zukuri Villages are known for their magnificent nature and old-fashioned traditions, with many of the 100 or so gassho-style houses, large and small, still standing, where people still live. The villages are listed in the Michelin Green Guide Japon and on the World Heritage List, and offer visitors a deep sense of rural culture and lifestyle, the original landscape of Japan.
It is like a hometown of Japan.
