Overview

【Shirakawa-go Gassho Village】 Shirakawa-go is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with rice paddies crisscrossing and trickling rivers flowing through, earning it the name "Kingdom of Forests and Streams." The village of Ogimachi in Shirakawa-go is the largest of the three villages registered as World Heritage Sites (Shirakawa-go, Ainokura, and Suganuma) with 152 households. The Great Shirakawa River, flowing from the sacred Mount Haku, becomes milky white and turbid after merging with the Shokawa River, which is the origin of the name Shirakawa-go. The Shiroyama Observatory is located in the northeastern part of Shirakawa-go Ogimachi Gassho Village, offering panoramic views of the Gassho village and the sprawling Mount Haku. 【Stroll through the Old Town of Hida Takayama】 The city center of Takayama, located in the northern part of Gifu Prefecture and the heart of the Hida region, has preserved the complete form of its castle town and merchant district from the Edo period, earning it the nickname "Little Kyoto of Hida." Here, you 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 showcase the superb skills of Hida artisans. Takayama is full of charm everywhere you look. 【Gujo Hachiman Castle】 Japan's oldest wooden reconstructed castle keep (1933), with white walls and black tiles, stands atop a mountain. When shrouded in a sea of clouds, it resembles a "castle in the sky," beautiful in all four seasons.

Highlights

Enjoy the essence of each of the three places without delay, making it easy and stress-free. The sequence is logical, avoiding backtracking, and saving the most time on transportation.
An experienced bilingual Chinese-English guide will take you into the little-known secret stories of Shirakawa-go.
Shirakawa-go: A World Heritage Site and Gassho-zukuri village, stepping into an ancient capital where history and modernity merge! Shirakawa-go is famous for its traditional Gassho-zukuri folk houses, listed as a World Heritage Site, with charming scenery in all four seasons. In spring, see cherry blossoms; in summer, it's a summer retreat; in autumn, golden rice fields intertwine with fiery red maple leaves, painting the forests in rich colors. In winter, snow covers the Gassho houses, like a gingerbread fairy tale village; during the illumination season in January-February (reservations required), the night lights and snowscape are breathtakingly beautiful.
Takayama: Sanmachi Suji Old Town, with rows of wooden machiya houses from the Edo to Meiji periods, featuring black tiled roofs, white walls, and lattice windows, a filming location for "Your Name." Takayama preserves the charm of the Edo period, boasting old streets, artisan culture, and abundant mountain cuisine, making it an ideal place to experience traditional Japanese rural culture. Japan's top-grade wagyu beef, you must try Hida beef sushi, sukiyaki, and steak, with marbling like marble.
Gujo Hachiman: Water Castle and Castle in the Sky. Japan's most beautiful mountain castle, Gujo Hachiman Castle, the old streets of the Water City, one of Japan's most beautiful mountain castles, the 400-year-old Gujo Odori dance, the birthplace of food models, and natural hidden gems, it is a Gifu ancient city that blends history, water charm, and traditional experiences.
