• Kamiichi Parking Lot - “Situated in the heart of Takayama City, in the northern region of Gifu Prefecture and the center of the Hida area, the original design of castle towns and merchant towns from the Edo period remains intact. This preservation has earned Takayama the nickname ‘Little Kyoto of Hida.’ Visitors can explore the ‘Sanmachi’ (three historic districts) established during the Meiji and Taisho periods, enjoy local delicacies like Hida beef and Takayama ramen, and appreciate traditional crafts that highlight the remarkable skills of Hida artisans. Every part of Hida-Takayama is brimming with allure.”
• Hida Kotte Ushi - Hida Kotte Ushi is a specialty shop for Hida beef nigiri sushi located in Takayama’s historic district. It features A5-grade Hida beef and offers freshly prepared sushi on a rice cracker plate, ideal for enjoying while walking. The “Three Flavors Assortment,” featuring bamboo charcoal salt, ginger soy sauce, and gunkan with quail egg yolk, is the most popular choice on the menu.
• Surugano Yu Hot Spring - Established over a century ago in the Meiji era, Sakaguchiya is a renovated traditional townhouse. It offers premium Hida beef, including its renowned Hida beef nigiri sushi on a senbei cracker and the special beef heart set meal. It’s a must-visit to savor the local cuisine and history of Hida-Takayama.
• 白川鄉合掌村 - “Encircled by mountains and interwoven with rice paddies and gentle streams, Shirakawa-go is celebrated as the ‘Kingdom of Forests and Streams.’ Among the three villages designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites (Shirakawa-go, Ainokura in Gokayama, and Suganuma), the Ogimachi district in Shirakawa-go boasts the largest number of households, totaling 152. The name ‘Shirakawa-go’ (White River Village) is derived from the Ōshirakawa River, which descends from the sacred peak of Mount Haku and turns a milky white when it merges with the Shō River. Located in the northeastern part of the Ogimachi Gassho-zukuri village, Shiroyama Observatory provides a sweeping view of the village and the expansive Mount Hakusan range.”
