Detailed itinerary

Your professional guide will accompany you to explore Hida Takachiho Highland, the second most popular night-view spot in Gifu Prefecture with a 4.8 rating. You’ll spend about 2 hours wandering around the area known as the "Little Kyoto"—Takayama’s ancient streets, where you can stroll freely, savor the renowned Hida beef, and immerse yourself in the traditional charm of the ancient town (lunch is not included in the tour, and you can dine at local restaurants on your own).

Your experienced guide will lead you to wander through the traditional villages of Shirakawa-go, famous for its unique gassho-zukuri farmhouses with thatched roofs. You’ll have the chance to admire the iconic architectural style of these historic houses, take in the picturesque scenery of the village (especially stunning in winter with snow-covered rooftops), and learn about the local culture and history of this UNESCO World Heritage site from your guide.
