Bokanosato Snow Park & Hida no Sato Gassho Village

After meeting your guide at Nagoya Station, take a dedicated bus to Bokanosato Snow Park. Popular with families, this snow park offers around three and a half hours of fun in the snow, including sledding and snowman building. You can also visit a farm where you can meet adorable animals like alpacas, horses, and rabbits, and experience crafting at a craft workshop. The park's restaurant offers a variety of Japanese and Western options, including burgers and steaks, making it a convenient place for lunch.

In the afternoon, head to Hida no Sato, a traditional folk village in the Hida region. This village, home to a cluster of traditional thatched-roof houses, offers a chance to experience the charm of a traditional Japanese countryside while strolling. You can even watch the lights gradually come on over the snow-covered roofs. This winter night view spot, offering a relatively leisurely atmosphere comparable to Shirakawa-go, is especially recommended for photo-lovers. After soaking up the light-up, board a dedicated bus and return to Nagoya Station, wrapping up your day.
