In front of Nagoya Station (the MINI STOP convenience store behind the BIC CAMERA at the west exit of Nagoya Station)Hida Takayama: Strolling Through the Old Towns This city is renowned for its well-preserved Edo-era castle town and merchant town, earning it the nickname "Little Kyoto of Hida." A walk through the "Sancho" (three town blocks) built during the Meiji and Taisho eras feels like stepping back in time. * Hida Beef: A representative dish of the Hida region, Hida beef is beloved for its tender texture and rich flavor. You can enjoy various forms of Hida beef dishes at local restaurants, with classics such as Hida beef charcoal grilled beef and Hida beef sukiyaki. * Takayama Ramen: Another must-try is the ramen of Hida Takayama. Unlike ramen elsewhere, Takayama ramen is characterized by its refreshing broth and delicate noodles, offering a unique and worthwhile experience. Recommended Visit: Miyagawa Morning Market. This morning market stretches along both banks of the Miyagawa River, from Kaji Bridge to Yayoi Bridge, a distance of approximately 350 meters, with over 60 stalls. The stalls are filled with fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits, local specialties, and various handicrafts. You can see colorful wild vegetables, all kinds of Japanese pickles, handmade wooden crafts, and even traditional Japanese foods such as mochi and rice cakes. Besides handicrafts featuring Takayama specialties like monkey dolls and Ichi-ichi-tachi carvings, chopsticks, and other small Japanese items, there are also local specialties such as pudding, taiyaki (fish-shaped cakes), dango (Japanese dumplings), and Hida beef skewers with coffee.
Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village - A World Heritage Site Through Time Surrounded by mountains and crisscrossed by rice paddies, with streams flowing through it, Shirakawa-go is known as a kingdom of forests and streams. The Gassho-zukuri architecture of Shirakawa-go is a unique form of traditional Japanese wooden house, with steep roofs resembling two hands clasped together, effectively withstanding the pressure of heavy snowfall in winter. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a testament to ingenuity in adapting to the harsh natural environment. When snow blankets the Gassho-zukuri roofs, it creates a dreamlike winter scene. The village of Ogimachi in Shirakawa-go has the largest number of households among the three villages registered as World Heritage Sites (Shirakawa-go, Aikura of Gokayama, and Suganuma), with 152 households. The Daishiro River, flowing from Mount Hakusan, becomes snow-white and muddy after merging with the Sho River; this is the origin of the name Shirakawa-go.
