What to expect
Day 1
- First stop: Shirakawa-go Gassho Village, a representative of traditional Japanese houses and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Together with the Gassho-style villages in Gokayama and other areas, it was registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. It is not only a tourist destination but also an important place to study and experience traditional Japanese rural life. Visitors can gain an in-depth understanding of Japanese history and culture while enjoying the tranquility and beauty of living in harmony with nature.
- Second stop: Hida Takayama, known for its rich natural scenery, unique culture, and delicious food. It preserves many traditional Japanese buildings that are under key protection. Also, Hida beef, one of Hida Takayama’s specialties, is known for its high-fat content and melt-in-your-mouth texture. First night Stay at Takayama Associa Resort or other hotel of equivalent price (including breakfast, excluding dinner).
Day 2
- Kamikochi hiking Recommended route 1: Taisho Pond - Tashiro Pond - Kappa Bridge: Recommended for first-time visitors! This 3.5-kilometer route takes about 1-1.5 hours to walk and is flat all the way, with picturesque scenery along the way. From the dreamy withered trees of Taisho Pond to the tranquil wetlands of Tashiro Pond, and finally to the iconic Kappa Bridge in Kamikochi, every step is a visual feast! Recommended route 2: Kappa Bridge - Myojin Bridge - Hotaka Shrine Okumiya & Myojin Pond: For experienced hikers, this 5.6-kilometer route will take you to explore deeper natural beauty. Starting from Kappa Bridge, passing the serene Myojin Bridge, walk to Hotaka Shrine Okumiya. The mountain and riverside scenery along the way, especially the quiet time by Myojin Pond, allows you to immerse yourself in the embrace of nature.
