You can also build snowmen, have snowball fights, and go sledding with family and friends, unlocking the fun of winter in the white snow. Snow Tube & Snow Donut (at your own expense)

Then head to Gujo Hachiman Castle Town, a castle town centered on Gujo Hachiman Castle, which hides hundreds of years of historical charm. Stroll through the ancient streets of Shokunin Machi and Kajiyamachi, where the quaint atmosphere of the Edo period is overwhelming; climb to the rebuilt castle tower for a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Nagara River. Optional: Showa Retro Art Museum ~ Food Sample Handmade Experience (guests who take photos of the handmade food sample set will go there)

On the same day, check into the Gero Onsen Ryokan KUSAKABE ArmeriA or equivalent, one of Japan’s three famous hot springs, relax from your journey, and enjoy a sumptuous buffet breakfast and dinner.

Every shot is a blockbuster.

Day 2: Hida Takayama Old Town → Shirakawa-go Gassho Village → Return Trip

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel in the morning, start the second day of cultural tour. The first stop is Hida Takayama, known as “Little Kyoto”. Stroll through the Sanmachi Old Town, where Edo-era townhouses are lined up, and specialty craft shops, Japanese cafes, and traditional bars are scattered around. You can stroll around freely, enjoy the slow pace, and also taste the fresh and juicy Hida beef at your own expense.

The last stop is the highlight of this trip - World Heritage Shirakawa-go Gassho Village! In winter, Gassho Village is covered with snow, and more than 100 Gassho-style houses are illuminated by lights, like a real-life fairy tale world. The lines of the thatched roofs complement the snow scene.
