Shirakawago & Takayama Alpine Day Trip
Trade the crowds for something calmer and older, tucked at the foot of the Japanese Alps. From Nagoya, wind your way through green valleys to two of Chubu's most timeless towns, with no train schedules or route-planning to worry about.
What You'll Experience
- The UNESCO World Heritage village of Shirakawago, famous for its steep thatched gassho-zukuri farmhouses
- A stroll through Takayama's old town in the wonderfully preserved Sanmachi district
- Local snacks and crafts at Takayama's lively morning market
- Sweeping views of the Japanese Alps along the drive
- A comfortable private car and easy-going driver happy to stop wherever the view calls
Everything moves at your pace, and the route can flex to match what you love. Reach out to Nakamura Study Japan to pick your date and make this Alpine escape effortless.
