This tour, which includes a stroll through the old streets of Takayama, allows you to enjoy the traditional atmosphere of central Japan in one day. Choose from A, B, and C courses, which offer options such as including an observatory, meals, and small group travel, so you can choose according to your travel style.

Witness a breathtaking nightscape unlike any other, where snow-covered traditional houses meet enchanting lights.
