#Snow Travel Shirakawa-go
A dream place for many people with the image of an ancient village with white snow falling like in a fairy tale in Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture, Chubu Region. It is a village that was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The highlight here is the Gassho-style houses that look like hands clasped together, which have been preserved in their original form to the present day.
We recommend going up to see Shirakawa-go village from the top view at the Shiroyama Viewpoint. You can walk up or take the Shuttle bus.
🚍 There are 2 ways to get there: public bus and self-driving rental car. If you don't rent a car, you can use Nohi Bus, which has the following routes:

Best Mountains & Onsens
#japantrip
Takayama is a city larger than tokyo. Physically that should give you an idea of how much there might be to do and see for the holiday goer. Famously called Gifu's crown jewel, Takayama offers so much in the form of culture, architecture, festivals and drool worthy food and onsens.
As for the views it is constantly surrounded by the scenic Japanese Alps. The Takayama festival, a feather in it's cap, is considered as amongst the most beautiful festivals in Japan. The charming rural town has sights that are reminiscent of the Edo era.
The architecture dates to the 16th century and the narrow alleys of teahouses and sake breweries feel a world away from Japan’s fast-paced cities like Tokyo. The three-sister mountain ranges of Hida, Kiso and Akaishi are said to be the home of mountain spirits, giving this destination in the Japanese Alps a celestial level of serenity. #japantrip #gifu #japan #beautiful #nature #mountains

A well maintained park with different attractions for everyone! At the entrance do catch a glimpse of the mountains in central japan area. Then you can chose to take a train chartered service to tour the park or simply explore on foot.
There’s farm rearing llamas, sheep, rabbit, cow and horses. FEEDING IS OKAY! (You can ride those horses too!)
Take a stroll down their flower bed with different flowers planted for different season!
A great place for photos and enjoying the landscape of Gifu prefecture! #gifu #Nagoya #Japan

Mt. Nokoyama is my favorite mountain in #gifu, #japan! ⛰
Been to this hiker-friendly mountain twice already, with my friends. It has a scenic view with a lot of wild strawberries growing along the tracks to the too.
Added Mountaineering as one of my favorite hobbies recently, and will always come back to have some relaxing time on the Summit of Mt. #nokoyama.
#wintergetaway
