Detailed itinerary

Gujo Hachiman is also called the "water town". It is full of atmosphere, with pebble roads, waterways, rows of willow trees, and large mansions.

There are many delicious country-style restaurants in Takayama, so please enjoy eating out on your own.

Shiragawa in Gifu Prefecture has the largest scale of thatched roof houses as World Heritage Site. In Japanese, this kind of house is called “Gassho-zukuri” meaning two hands holding together which resembles the shape of roof fixed merely by rope without a nail. Up to end of Meiji Period, villagers utilized it as workshop to practice silkworm raising, paper and gunpowder making- a single house could hold maximum 30 people to live in. You will have sufficient time of 2 hours strolling and exploring this fairy-tale like area.
