09:50 Gujo Hachiman
Located in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, Gujo Hachiman is a historic castle town famously known as the “Town of Water.” Its remarkably preserved Edo-period district features a network of crystal-clear stone canals flowing alongside traditional wooden merchant houses in areas like Kajiya-machi and the historic Sogi Spring. Beyond its serene waterways and historic samurai streets, the town is celebrated for its vibrant artisan culture—including being the birthplace of Japan’s famous plastic food samples—and the lively Gujo Odori summer dance festival, making it one of Japan's most authentic and picturesque cultural destinations.

12:00 Takayama
A historic city that beautifully preserves the charm of feudal Japan. Its wonderfully intact old town district, Sanmachi Suji, features dark-wood merchant houses, sake breweries, and craft shops lining narrow, atmospheric streets that have changed little since the Edo period. Beyond its rich heritage—highlighted by the exquisite floats of the Takayama Festival and the open-air museum of Hida Folk Village—the city is renowned for its local specialties, Hida beef and artisanal morning markets, making it an essential destination for travelers seeking traditional Japanese culture and scenic alpine beauty.

15:00 Shirakawa-go
Located in a remote river valley in Gifu Prefecture, Shirakawa-go is an UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its traditional farmhouses built in the unique gassho-zukuri architectural style. These massive wooden homes resemble hands pressed together in prayer. Many of these centuries-old structures still function as homes, local restaurants, or museums, offering visitors a rare window into a deeply preserved rural lifestyle. Whether blanketed in winter snow or surrounded by lush green rice paddies in the summer, Shirakawa-go offers one of Japan's most iconic and timeless rural landscapes.
