What you can expect

Experience the charm of Edo-period Japan in Takayama and the UNESCO-listed Shirakawa-go village, enhanced by a delightful meal at Koshiyama.

Your journey begins at the Nagoya VIP Liner Bus Stop, where you’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned bus for a scenic ride toward Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Enjoy the picturesque views of the Japanese countryside as you travel.

Stroll Through Takayama’s Historic “Old Town”
Step back in time as you explore the beautifully preserved streets of Takayama’s “Old Town”. Meander through narrow alleys, visit quaint shops, and admire traditional wooden houses that capture the essence of old Japan.

Delight in a Delectable Meal at Koshiyama Restaurant (Optional)
Choose from a selection of regional specialties that showcase authentic Japanese flavors:
Hida Beef Steak (Yakiniku): Premium marbled Hida wagyu, grilled to perfection on a hot plate.
Hida Pork Lunch: Juicy, flavorful local pork prepared to highlight its natural sweetness.
Wagyu Kobe Beef Shabu-Shabu: Thinly sliced Kobe wagyu gently cooked in a light, savory broth.
Gokayama Tofu Oden (Vegetarian-Friendly): Traditional oden featuring locally made tofu with a firm texture and rich soybean flavor.

Next, the adventure continues to Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient gassho-zukuri (thatched-roof) houses. These distinctive structures, with steeply pitched roofs designed to withstand heavy snowfalls, are a testament to the region’s rich history. Surrounded by serene rice paddies and mountains, the village offers a peaceful and picturesque escape.

End the Tour & Return to Nagoya

Wander through charming shops and enjoy the tranquil waters flowing through the town.
