Activity itinerary

Takayama
  • 1h 30m
Experience Edo-period Japan in Takayama and the UNESCO-listed Shirakawa-go village. You will have lunch at your own expense in Takayama, a town filled with interesting sights and serving as the gateway to the Japanese Alps. Be sure to explore the Sanmachi Suji District, which consists of three streets in the heart of Takayama's Edo town, located just east of the Miya-gawa River. These streets are lined with traditional houses, shops, restaurants, sake breweries, and cafes.
Koshiyama
  • 45m
As part of your experience, savour a delectable Japanese-style teppanyaki set lunch at the renowned Koshiyama restaurant in Shirakawa-go. Indulge in the local speciality, Japanese Beef 'Hida Gyu,' which is raised in Gifu Prefecture and renowned for its rich marbling and exquisite flavour. Alternatively, you can opt for the Oden lunch, a comforting and flavourful dish featuring ingredients simmered in a savoury broth. Both offerings highlight the authentic flavours of the region and provide a delightful culinary experience.
Shirakawago
  • 1h 30m
Then you will head to the famous Shirakawa-go to explore the old gassho-zukuri (thatch-roofed) style houses that dot this mountain village. Surrounded by rice paddies, you can hear the sounds of insects and birds if you listen closely. Located in a mountainous region that was cut off from the rest of the world for a long period of time, these villages with their Gassho-style houses subsisted on the cultivation of mulberry trees and the rearing of silkworms. The large houses with their steeply pitched thatched roofs are the only examples of their kind in Japan. Despite economic upheavals, the villages of Ogimachi, Ainokura, and Suganuma are outstanding examples of a traditional way of life perfectly adapted to the environment and people's social and economic circumstances.
