Itinerario

  1. Board a comfortable coach and begin a scenic journey toward Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gifu Prefecture, famous for its gassho-zukuri farmhouses with steep thatched roofs designed to withstand heavy snow. During the limited-time Light-Up event, these historic homes glow warmly against the winter night, creating a contrast with the surrounding snow. Lanterns and illumination transform the entire village into a magical scene. Stroll through the village and admire the craftsmanship of these centuries-old houses. If the weather cooperates, you’ll see the rooftops blanketed in snow, adding to the enchantment. Please note: snow scenery depends on seasonal conditions, but the light-up itself guarantees a stunning experience. After this unforgettable experience, you’ll return by bus to Takayama Station, arriving around 21:00.

About Takayama

Takayama, in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, is a well-kept Edo-period town of dark wooden merchant houses, sake breweries and a morning market.

Takayama lies in the Hida region of the Japanese Alps, in a high basin ringed by mountains. Its old town, Sanmachi Suji, keeps three streets of dark timber merchant houses from the Edo period, with latticed fronts and sake breweries marked by cedar-ball signs hanging from the eaves. Takayama Jinya, the former magistrate's office, is one of the last of its kind in Japan.

Top-ranked sights in Takayama: Takayama Morning Markets (Asaichi), Sannomachi Street (Sanmachi Suji), Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine & Festival Floats Exhibition Hall.
