What you can expect

  • Takayama – Discover Local Life in a Historic Town
    In Takayama, you'll walk through beautifully preserved streets where the charm of old Japan lives on. Browse the lively morning market by the river, explore the historic Sanmachi Suji district with its sake breweries and wooden townhouses, and step into the Takayama Jinya, a former samurai-era government office. Enjoy a local sake tasting, or try your hand at a craft workshop, such as making a Sarubobo doll.

    Destinations and experiences can be customised—let’s decide together based on your interests and time.

    Shirakawa-go – Step into a UNESCO World Heritage Village
    Visit Shirakawa-go, a storybook village nestled in the mountains and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander among the iconic gassho-zukuri farmhouses, known for their steep thatched roofs designed to withstand heavy snow. You can step inside the historic Wada House, enjoy the breathtaking view from the Shiroyama Viewpoint, and taste traditional mountain dishes such as miso-flavored vegetables and Hida beef snacks. It's a peaceful, picture-perfect escape into Japan’s rural past.

    Tour destinations can be tailored on the day, depending on your pace and interests—just let me know what you’d like to see.
