Shirakawago Village
Make sure you visit the Jinya Mae and Miyagawa Morning Markets. Located on the banks of the Miyagawa River, these markets are open daily from 7am to 12 noon. Here you will find local farmers selling fresh produce and flowers. Local souvenirs, crafts and snacks are also available for purchase.
Return to Takayama Station and take a day trip to Shirakawago Village. Purchase a ticket from the Takayama Bus terminal in front of Takayama train station (JPY 4,300 return). Board the Nohi Bus to Shirakawago Village. (50 min one-way)
Shirakawago is a small historic village in Northern Gifu. This area is famous for its old farm houses which have been built with traditional thatched roofing. Ogimachi, within Shirakawago Village, has been registered as a Unesco World Heritage site, with over 100 gassho zukuri structures spread across a lovely mountain valley. Enjoy the atmosphere and scenery of this unique mountain village contained within in a beautiful mountain setting. Return to Takayama in the late afternoon.
For dinner tonight we recommend you walk in to town and try one of the many restaurants which specialise in the Japanese "hida beef" which is delicious in sukiyaki or grilled on a hotplate.
Stay: Hida Hotel Plaza - 2/2
