Highlights

  • Travel to the scenic Hida Takayama area from Nagoya
  • Takayama is known as little Kyoto city of Gifu Prefecture
  • See the World Cultural Heritage, village of Shirakawago

Full description

The elegant appearance has been protected as it was since the Edo period. It is said to be "small Kyoto of Hida" and it is protected as a preserved area with important traditional buildings.
You will find a number of houses with roofs shaped like folded hands. You can feel
the Japanese history and it creates a fantastic atmosphere to walk around!

Are you in the magnificent city of Nagoya and you want to see what lies beyond it? The former is found in the Hida region in the Gifu Prefecture. Takayama may be considered a city, but it’s not the kind that people are accustomed to. The houses and the buildings are all traditional, especially in its Old Town. You can go for a walk around the area and admire the architecture and its historical landmarks, like the Higashiyama Walk and the Takayama Jinya. You’ll be given some free time to have lunch in the city, so make sure to bring some cash and try out dishes made using top grade Hida Beef. Shirakawa-go, on the other hand, is known for the numerous gassho zukuri houses that are lined up all around it. These houses are over a hundred years old and their design is said to look like the clasped hands of monks in prayer. If you’re looking to see the rural wonders of Japan, then going on this trip is a must.

Admire some of the historical landmarks of Japan and marvel at the design of numerous Gassho Zukuri houses

Two hours of free time is short. It can't be helped. The driver and attendant were good and proper. I would use it again.
