Hida is a quiet picturesque town outside of Takayama City. The people of Hida generally live a simple lifestyle and have fostered a distinct culture different from many parts of Japan. For hundreds of years, this area was highly isolated, and until recent years the only access to the area were the high mountain passes. For visitors, it will seem like a trip back in time with the beauty of the rice terraces and the snow covered traditional Japanese houses.
Discover and enjoy an unforgettable stay in Japan. Visit Tokyo (Japan’s busy capital, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples). Then, take the bullet train to Toyama (a picturesque gateway to the Japanese Alps, featuring serene bay views and the elegant Toyama Castle), Hida Valley (called The "Japanese Alps", this mountain region and more traditional and rural Japan) and Gero Onsen. Lastly take the train to Nagoya (one of the nation's most important transportation hubs, historical centers and industrial powerhouses, center of the automotive industry in Japan, where big name factories such as Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi are set there).
