Step into Japan’s Edo period at this rare, fully preserved regional government headquarters. Visitors explore authentic samurai-era offices, courtrooms, and storehouses, gaining insight into feudal governance. The minimalist architecture and tranquil garden reflect the austere elegance of historical administration, offering a tangible connection to how rulers managed mountainous Hida province 200 years ago.
Kamisannomachi

Wander through Takayama’s “Little Kyoto,” where latticed wooden merchant houses from the 1600s line cobblestone lanes. This living museum showcases traditional sake breweries, craft shops, and Edo-period townhouses, evoking the ambiance of a bygone trading post. The district’s unchanged facades and artisan workshops invite travellers to visualise daily life in a thriving feudal-era commercial hub.
Hida no Sato Open Air Museum

Discover ingenious mountain survival at this open-air museum featuring over 30 steeply thatched gassho-zukuri farmhouses.

Interactive displays of traditional tools and hearth-centered layouts reveal the resourcefulness of Japan’s alpine communities.
The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go Gassho Style Houses

Marvel at UNESCO-listed fairy-tale scenery in this iconic valley of 60+ steeply pitched thatched-roof houses.
