2025 Hida Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

This is one of the most unforgettable snow scenes I've ever seen! Because of the scene in Your Name where Taki stands in front of the "Hida" photo wall in the museum, I remember this mysterious landlocked area deeply. Gifu Prefecture has a rustic name, but it is not only the filming location of Your Name, but also a world heritage fairy tale town, and snow as dreamy as Hokkaido! The key is - there are not many people! . Your Name pilgrimage: Mainly concentrated in Hida Takayama and Hida Furukawa, you can travel back and forth by JR or bus. ⛰Takayama: The old town of Machiya, which retains the Edo style of 400 years ago, has mostly been turned into restaurants, cafes, etc., and it is very interesting to visit! You can also experience a rickshaw! There will be winter-only events in the nearby Mori below freezing. Filming location: Miyagawa Morning Market, Hie Shrine . 🌊Furukawa: The town is small and very, very quiet. Visit the streets of the late Edo and early Meiji periods in Shirakabe Dozo Street, a must-see for a pilgrimage. Filming location: Must-see Furukawa JR Station, Hida beef mascot in the station, specialty snack Gohei mochi, Sakura Bussankan weaving movie hand rope World Heritage Fairy Tale Town: Shirakawa-go, this is one of the top 10 must-see lists of my life - a white village surrounded by deep mountains, with triangular huts sitting in between, really beautiful to the point of being unreal! Transportation: You can take a bus from Nagoya or Hida Takayama, and you can make a day trip . Magome-juku, back to Edo: This is the only way to connect Kyoto and Tokyo in the 17th century, built on mountain roads, steep terrain, rickshaw horses really can't cross, so they have to leave the horses at the station, hence the name. It takes about 2 hours from Tajimi City, but the snow scene on the mountain road is really spectacular! Step into the snow on the cobblestone path of Magome-juku and admire the Edo houses on both sides. It seems to take me back to that era. . My 4-day itinerary: DAY 1: Beijing - Nagoya - Tajimi City DAY 2: Magome-juku - Ena Gorge - Taisho Village DAY 3: Hida Takayama - Hida Furukawa - Hida Takayama DAY 4: Shirakawa-go - Nagoya - Beijing (Ena Gorge is generally personal, no need to go on purpose) . Transportation: Direct flights from Beijing to Nagoya, and then transfer through JR + Meitetsu Bus, you can use the Dragon Ascent Road Pass, there are different routes for three days and five days. . The first trip of the new year, if you don't want to squeeze people in Hokkaido, you might as well travel in the opposite direction and go to the niche Gifu!! Japan·Asia Gifu City·Gifu Prefecture

When I go to Nagoya, I often visit Takayama and other places at once Usually go to these places will choose a hot spring ♨️ guesthouse 👍🏻 I chose Hida Hotel Plaza🫶🏻 Because we are not self-driving, we must choose a hotel near the station🏨 And it only takes about 5 minutes to arrive 😍 so it is very convenient for us It's very close to Takayama Station. Just get off and go straight to the left. After seeing the Takayama City Hall sign, turn right and you'll be there😆 Even if you have luggage🧳, you're not afraid As soon as you enter you feel the hotel🏨 has history but its hall is very spacious!! ️ But he only allows people to rest the place is not check in There is a craftsman's dragon platform next to the check in hall 👍🏻 It is said that it is a kind of divine sedan in Japan 🗾😍 placed here is to provide travelers to take pictures📸️ souvenir👏🏻 After check in, an employee will take us to the room with our luggage 🫶🏻 It has a total of three buildings so it is really quite big and there is a small shopping street in the hotel😌 Inside it specializes in local products😍 We do not have to go around to find😆 Although there are only two shops but the operation cut️ is until 10pm 👍🏻👍🏻 Much more convenient than the shopping street that may close at 8pm in rural places!! ️ I felt good cleanliness when I got to the room😌 However, if you expect it to be Japanese like other hot springs♨️ then you may be disappointed😞 It is Japanese style so the same bed is not tatami 🥹 But overall I am very satisfied I ordered a double bed room although it is not King Size double bed ❤️ However it is already very ok the point is that his bed is soft and soft 🤞🏻🤞🏻 very good There are already 2 yukata provided in the room 🤞🏻 and very nicely gave the Chinese version of the instructions 😆😆 Snacks such as wagashi umeboshi and black pepper tea available in the hotel 🏨 shopping street are provided on the table!! ️ These are provided for free 🆓 Of course you can go buy it if you like it ❤️❤️ The bathroom here is normal but very clean 😆 but there is still a bathtub 🛁 and a toilet 🚽 but the hotel expects you to go to the hot spring ♨️ and will not be there to take a shower 😄 There is a large bath in the hotel's East Building B1 and Hito Building 9th floor😌 Because the weather in Japan🇯🇵 is relatively dry, so we should not soak too much at one time😅 Even if you want to try 2, you have to separate the time Japanese 🇯🇵 hot springs ♨️ hotels are generally one stay and two meals Dinner we make a reservation Senkaiseki cuisine 🥹 Here you can eat great Hida beef 😆 and each dish is very exquisite 😍 The shop also provides a menu 😄 so everyone can know what they are eating As for breakfast, we chose Japanese food ❤️ The dishes are quite good 👍🏻 and Japanese and Western styles are available 🫶🏻 to suit different people's tastes If you come to play in the mountains I really recommend you to stay here Because it is conveniently located and charges reasonable 😍 Address: 2-60 Hanaoka-cho, Takayama Gifu Prefecture #Japanhotel #Valentine's DayGood Places #OverseasTravel #ResidentWriter #JapanTravel #JapanTravelStrategy #JapaneseRestaurant #JapaneseWagyu #ParentFamilyGoodTrip #ParentFamilyHolidayGoodPlace #Hotel

#cityplaybook Tucked away in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, Kamioka is a hidden gem that’s full of charm and a touch of adventure. It’s best known for the unique Rail Mountain Bike Gattan Go!!—an awesome experience where you ride specially outfitted bikes on old railway tracks through tunnels, forests, and stunning countryside. It’s a super fun and one-of-a-kind way to explore the area, especially if you’re into quirky, off-the-beaten-path activities. Getting to Kamioka is surprisingly easy, especially if you’re coming from Takayama. It’s just a short drive or bus ride away, making it a perfect day trip or half-day escape from the city. Whether you’re after some fresh mountain air, cool photo ops, or just something a little different, Kamioka is totally worth checking out.

Crystal clear canal with lots of big koi fish We arrived at around 4pm. It was a very quiet town. There were no tourists, only us. We planned to feed the fish, but they locked the tank. As far as I can tell from Google Translate, it should be during the period of not feeding, the fish are adjusting to something. But the houses in that area are very beautiful, with black and brown tones.

#cherryblossom25 In the "Little Kyoto" of Hida Furukawa (Gifu Prefecture), 19th-century white-walled storehouses mingle with ancient weeping cherry trees, creating a scene straight out of a samurai film. Blooming 1-2 weeks later than major cities (mid-to-late April), this hidden gem offers crowds-free hanami. 🚞 Access Guide - From Nagoya： - JR Limited Express "Hida" → Hida-Furukawa Station (2h20m)

A corner of the hotel, this place is definitely suitable for quiet self-cultivation! Leaning against the stove, making tea, and watching the snow! Even if you don’t have a quiet reading temperament, you can absorb spiritual energy just by breathing! 😆😆

On the first day of the 2023 Japan Kurobe Tateyama three-day tour, thanks to the plum rain + typhoon outer circulation, I took the Nohi bus from Takayama Station to Hida Furukawa Station. Because of the drizzle, there were almost no tourists, so I enjoyed the traditional wooden buildings left over from the Edo period alone. Starting from Furukawa Station, I came to the Araki River to observe how turbulent the water was, which could cause the JR to be unable to run (hahaha), and then I discovered the representative red Kasumigawa Bridge and Imamiya Bridge, as well as the hot spring hotel Hatsuzankan (the gate was open, there was no one, I sneaked in to take pictures), the Honkoji Temple and Shinsoji Temple on the banks of the Araki River are also very eye-catching. Honkoji Temple has the largest main hall built of cypress in the Hida area. I specially unloaded my luggage and walked up the steps to worship; Shinsoji Temple is very special. It is a temple for men and women in love to pray. There is also Entsuji Temple protected by sea turtles. There are turtle carvings on both sides under the eaves of the main hall. The pine trees and Japanese garden landscapes in the three shrines are each beautiful with their own characteristics. [White-walled storehouse] is a traditional architectural style that was popular from the Edo to the Meiji period. Hida Furukawa has the Seto River running through the ancient town. In addition to experiencing the history and life culture of the ancient streets, you can also go and find the 12 "yatai" (places for portable shrines and floats) of different Furukawa like me. The Sanbanso Yatai burned down and could not be rebuilt. I gave up two because I did not walk to Keta Wakamiya Shrine. I found six of the remaining nine yatai, namely Sankodai, Seiyadai, Qinglongdai, Fenghuangdai, Jinguidai, and Kirindai. Each one has a different door shape, pattern, design, and shape, and is worth collecting. After leaving Furukawa-cho, I took the Nohi bus to Kamioka-cho, which prospered due to the mines. On the way there, I found out that there was Kamioka Castle to visit and I was full of expectations. I never thought that Kamioka-cho would have streets similar to those of the Showa era. The nostalgic atmosphere led me to stroll to Funatsuza, an activity center that simulates the Funatsu Theater next to the approach to Otsu Shrine during the Taisho period. The crossbeams are made of natural wood from Yamanomura in Kamioka-cho. The Japanese space can be rented for various banquets, performances and exhibitions. The beautiful venue makes people feel more elegant. Next to it is Enjo-ji Temple, which was built in the Kamakura period. After several fire disasters, the current main hall was moved from Hoju-ji Temple in Shiroyama, Takayama City in 1929. The bell tower, stone pagoda and streets outside the main hall are integrated into a small town with a nostalgic atmosphere. Kamioka Castle stands on the hill of Kamioka-cho, facing Enjo-ji Temple. Only the moat, stone walls and wooden structure of the simulated castle tower were built in 1970 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Mitsui Metal Industries Kamioka Mine. In addition to precious Kamioka-cho historical materials and Japanese weapons exhibitions, there are terraces on all four sides of the third floor overlooking the streets and alleys of Kamioka-cho. It was raining on the day I came here, so I had the entire Kamioka Castle to myself (the gate was open, no one was there, and I slipped in to take pictures). If you are interested, you can buy a common ticket for "Kamiokandoka Castle", "Mine Information Center" and "Former Matsuba Family" (470 yen for adults) to learn more about the historical rise and fall and changes of the mountain city of Kamioka. Then, if you visit on a sunny day, you should be able to feel the prosperity and bustle of this mountain city 50 years ago. A one-hour tour of Kamioka Town is really not enough. I calculated the bus time and waved at the Kamioka Castle Station. The fare from the Kamioka Sales Office to Itoya Station is 200 yen no matter which station I get on and off. It's really generous! The driver, Abe, only took me today. He wanted to introduce the scenery along the way to me in Japanese, but I don't speak Japanese. After 50 minutes of winding mountain roads, we arrived at Inogani Station (the intersection station of JR Central and JR West Japan), which was opened in 1930. The wooden station and the old-fashioned station nameplate exude a sense of time. When I stepped out of the station, I first saw the red arch bridge across the Jinzu River on Inogani Kasugahara Road. I tried to walk to the other side. It seems that there is a hiking trail for hiking. I met an enthusiastic old lady who talked to me in Japanese (ah, I really don't speak Japanese). I was shocked again. Fortunately, my daughter got off the bus to save me. We talked in simple English. They treated me to bread and I shared my trip to Geibikei in February. The woman was worried whether I could reach Toyama Station or not, and kept asking the driver to take good care of me. I didn't know that this adventure would also make me exhausted. I fell asleep soon after getting on the bus and was not awakened until the crowds of people in Toyama city who were getting off work poured into the bus. It was almost 7 o'clock when we arrived at Toyama Station. If the JR train hadn’t stopped, I would have arrived at Toyama Station at 12 noon, spent the day in downtown Toyama, and also visited Doraemon at Takaoka Station! But the JR station was closed, so I could only go to Takayama Station and change buses to Hida Furukawa-cho, Hida Kamioka-cho, and Toyama Itoya-cho, and stroll alone in the mountain towns far away from the hustle and bustle of the city! I can buy relatively cheap air tickets, but I can't buy weather forecasts. How can I know that a smooth red-eye flight to Mingguya will change at eight in the morning? But I like this challenge and am intoxicated by this adventure! #2023 Travel Review #Japan Three-Day Flash Series

Hida-Furukawa 🐠🎏🍂It is a small town not far from Takayama City. One thing that makes Hida-Furukawa known to tourists is carp. The Setogawa Canal in the middle of the city was built 400 years ago for the purpose of irrigating rice fields. However, in recent years, it has been gradually abandoned and polluted due to economic growth. Therefore, carp were released into the canal to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining water quality. Today, the canal is full of carp. 📍 Furukawa City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan #WinterTravel
