Chinese/Japanese speaking drivers are available for smooth communication and a worry-free trip.
  • Take a 45-minute walk in Hida no Sato and take plenty of photos of the snow scene created by clasping hands in prayer. Compared to the crowds in Shirakawa-go, it's quieter and more comfortable here, making for a less tiring walk and more relaxed photo opportunities.
  • The Shin-Hotaka Ropeway is a must-try! The double-decker cable car takes you straight up to the 2,156-meter-high summit for a 360-degree panoramic view. On a clear day, you can see the entire Northern Alps – it's postcard quality in an instant.
  • You can have a hot lunch at the mountaintop, warming yourself up while enjoying the scenery. There's no need to rush to find a restaurant; eating while gazing at the mountains from high above is very relaxing.
  • The 10-hour itinerary is just right—not rushed, not tiring, allowing you to take photos when you want and rest when you want. The pace is comfortable throughout, making it suitable for families, seniors, and children.

Taking photos requires almost no skill; any snapshot will become your phone wallpaper. There are restaurants, hot drinks, and convenience stores at the summit, allowing you to enjoy the mountain views while eating—especially refreshing on cold days. The ropeway queues are not long, the route is clear, and the ride is comfortable, making it very friendly to both seniors and children. In short, Shin-Hodaka is a hidden gem: a place where you can see Japan's most beautiful mountain scenery without breaking a sweat or trekking. —The entire experience can be completed in about two hours, making it a must-see attraction around the mountains that you definitely won't regret visiting.

    Take a 45-minute stroll through Hida no Sato. Hida no Sato is a super comfortable and relaxing place to explore. Compared to the crowds at Shirakawa-go, it's much quieter and less tiring to walk around. The area features over a dozen traditional Gassho-zukuri houses, all genuine old buildings that have been moved here. In winter, covered in snow, they look like something out of a postcard.

Inside, there are fireplaces, wooden furniture, and old-fashioned tools; walking around feels like stepping back in time to Japan decades ago. It's less crowded, so there won't be people constantly in your photo, making it very friendly for families with elderly members or young children. In short, it's a small but beautiful spot where you don't have to rush, don't have to queue, and can still take amazing photos. A 45-minute stop is just right—a comfortable and time-efficient way to visit, making it one of the most relaxing and least disappointing spots around Takayama.
