Day 10: Takayama - Shirakawago - Takayama
Shirakawago Village in autumn

Shirakawago Village in autumn

Visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one day!

From 08:00am meet at the Takayama Nohi Bus Terminal which is located next to Takayama Station. Present your reservation confirmation at the counter and receive your ticket. Board your Tour from Bus Stop #7 at 08:30am.

*Please note this Tour is conducted in Japanese, so smile and enjoy the magnificent scenery.

First stop is the remote Gogayama Ainokura Village which is home to approximately 20 thatched roof gassho-zukuri farmhouses. Stroll around these historic buildings which mostly remain private residences, but some have been converted into museums and cafe's. Ainokura was declared a UNESCO Site in 1995.

Next stop is Shirakawago, another UNESCO site with 114 gassho-zukuri traditional houses surrounded by rice fields and a river flowing through the town. Admission to the Museum and a shuttle bus ticket to the Observation Deck where a spectacular panoramic view of the valley and mountains can be enjoyed.

During your time in Shirakawago, stroll around and purchase your lunch from one of the many eateries and enjoy the fresh atmosphere and breathtaking scenery.

Depart Shirakawago at 3:00pm to arrive back in Takayama at 15:50.

Kobe beef is very famous, but for dinner tonight we recommend you explore Takayama and try one of the many restaurants which specialise in the local Japanese "hida beef" which is delicious in sukiyaki or grilled on a hotplate.

Stay: Hida Hotel Plaza - 2/2
