Meeting/Redemption Point

    • 1-chōme-1-4 Meieki, Nakamura Ward, Nagoya, Aichi 450-0002, Japan | The meetup point is at the base of the SILVER clock tower outside of the Shinkansen gates. If you are arriving via Shinkansen, the clock tower should be located directly in front of you as you exit the gate. If you are arriving via a JR line, please look for signs directing you towards the Taiko-Dori Gate. The silver clock is located inside the station just before the Taiko-Dori exit. For those coming from outside the station, you will most likely be entering through the Sakura-Dori gate (the side with the gold clock). In this case, please walk straight through the station towards the Taiko-Dori Gate. The silver clock is located inside the station just before the Taiko-Dori exit. You may wait nearby there until the tour begins at 8:30 A.M. Be sure to look for the guide holding a SNOW MONKEY RESORTS tour sign. We highly recommend arriving early as Nagoya station can be quite crowded.

What you can expect

Hidden deep within the mountains of Central Japan, the historic towns of Hida-Takayama and Shirakawa-go provide an excellent retreat into the scenic countryside and an authentic example of life during Edo-era Japan.

Hida-Takayama, historically a vibrant trade centre, enriched by its natural resources, stands as a testament to Japan’s past. Wander the charming streets of Takayama’s old town, where history comes alive, and taste local delicacies including premium wagyu beef. Your guide will provide insight into the history of the region, allowing you to glimpse into the lifestyle and crafts of a bygone era.

UNESCO World Heritage site Shirakawa-go—a picturesque village famed for its gassho-zukuri (thatched-roof houses)—is a quintessential representation of the Japanese countryside and a living museum of Japan’s rural traditions. Experience the enchantment of Shirakawa-go and delve into the village’s traditional way of life with the unique chance to enter one of these picturesque homes.

Step into the past and savour the views of the Japanese countryside as you are led by an experienced guide on this full-day tour from Nagoya.
