Step back into the Edo period (1603-1868) as you stroll through the "Little Kyoto" of Gifu. This beautifully preserved district features traditional merchant houses and flowing water canals that create a nostalgic atmosphere. You will have ample time to explore the local morning markets, admire the exquisite craftsmanship of Hida artisans, and indulge in the region's culinary crown jewel—Hida Beef. Don't miss the chance to try the famous "Hida Beef Sushi" at local hotspots like Kotteushi, where the meat literally melts in your mouth.

Discover the fairytale-like landscape of Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its unique "Gassho-zukuri" (steeply thatched) farmhouses. These iconic structures were designed to withstand the region's heavy snowfall and look like hands folded in prayer. We will take you to the Shiroyama Observatory, where you can capture the classic postcard-perfect panoramic view of the entire village nestled among rice paddies and mountains. Manga fans can also visit the "Ochi-udo" cafe, a traditional farmhouse that served as inspiration for a setting in the popular series ONE PIECE.

After a day filled with culture, history, and stunning photography, sit back and relax as we transport you comfortably back to Nagoya. We will drop you off near the station, conveniently located for you to continue your evening with dinner or travel back to your accommodation.
