About This Tour
Experience Edo-period Japan in Takayama and the UNESCO-listed Shirakawa-go village. Enjoy lunch at Koshiyama, where you can savor Hida Beef, one of the top three Japanese beef varieties, and an Oden set (exclusive for those who choose the meal plan). Visit the historic Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marvel at the classic Gassho-style architecture of Hida Takayama. Enjoy the picturesque natural beauty of mountain scenery in Gifu. Take advantage of convenient round-trip transportation from Nagoya with guaranteed departure. Winter Travel Note: Snowfall may occasionally lead to road closures to Shirakawa-go.
