- About the Attraction | Hida no Sato Illumination Day Trip -

▲World Heritage Site – Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village

"Gassho" is a unique style of Japanese house, featuring thatched roofs with a gable shape resembling hands clasped in prayer. The houses in Gassho-zukuri Village are all wooden structures, built without nails yet remarkably sturdy. Not only is their appearance unique, but they also prevent snow accumulation, thus avoiding the roof collapse under the weight of heavy winter snow. The thatched roofs of Gassho-zukuri houses must be replaced every fifty to sixty years, and replacing the roof of any house requires the entire village's manpower. Shirakawa-go was also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 9, 1995.

▲Little Kyoto – Takayama
Takayama Old Town is one of Japan's best-preserved old streets. On the way to Takayama Old Town, you'll pass the Takayama Morning Market, a treasure trove for tourists to find local specialties. Hidden within the old town are many delicious local eateries; don't miss the Hida beef nigiri sushi, Hida milk, and Hida beef buns!
