Just a short trip from Nagoya Station, you'll find Hida Takayama, known as 'Little Kyoto.' Walking through the preserved wooden houses of 'Furui Machinami' (old town), you might feel like you've stepped back into the Edo period.

The tour gives you a generous 2 hours of free time. Browse charming craft shops, or try the local specialty, Hida beef sushi. With free choice for lunch, you can savor Takayama at your own pace.

The highlight is Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 'Gassho-style' roofs, steeply pitched to withstand heavy snow, create a picturesque scene.

Stroll through this living museum and experience the simple yet resilient life of rural Japan. Climb to the observation deck for a panoramic view and understand why travelers from around the world visit this remote mountain village.
