Authentic homes moved from a nearby valley and preserved intact make this attraction a very special "open air museum."
Coming from Australia snow is a real treat. When we went to the Folk Village on New Years Day it was thick with powdery snow. We could still walk around as the sky was clear and blue. The water wheel was iced over and the thatched roofs had a foot of white powder. I was glad it was open however some of the areas such as the 500 year old hilltop castle were closed due to safety reasons.

This historic footpath through the Kiso Valley connects the villages of Tsumago and Magome. The partially paved trail is approximately 8 kilometers in length and passes by several historic and natural wonders.
a short 7-8km walk took us 4 hours as my group were crazily taking photos along the trail.. overall an easy and charming walk.. you will come across a charming tea house who serves u free green tea .. a donation box is availsble which helps to upkeep the place..

We participated in Frozen Waterfalls Tour. The tour was well organized and guides were very professional and helpful and they speak English as well. Since there were no other participants, it ended up being a private tour for us 7 people including non-Japanese. We walked in the bush for 2.5 hours, reached one of Frozen Waterfalls, had lunch while enjoying the view for 1 hour, and came back over 2 hours. Guide Kuma-san continually walked around even during our break, checking the route conditions and trying to show us better views. Guide Kome-san constantly checked if everything was going well and delighted us and took many photos during the tour. Guide Kuma-san always checked the safety from the end of the line and provided support for each of us. Even though one of our members twisted her ankle on the way back, they managed calmly,treated her ankle quickly and we could comeback safely in a relaxed atmosphere. We have participated in their tour several times including summer shower climbing in summer, they always provide safe and fun tours. There are more than 200 waterfalls in Osaka located between Gero and Takayama. If you have a chance to visit Gero or Takayama, we would definitely recommend to join one of nature tours! It's one of secret spots with very few tourists in Japan! The scenery was mind blowing.. fresh snow glittered in the morning light, melted snow drop shining through trees on the way back..and we enjoyed every minute of it. I will never forget the scenery and the memorable moment in my life.

Gifu or Inabayama Castle was an unplanned stop on my travel itinerary. I'm glad I decided to visit Gifu city and its mountaintop castle The castle sits atop Mount Kinkazan and takes about 15 min to get to via bus from the JR station. You can use either the cable car or hiking trails to reach the top. There is a bit more hiking to do once you reach the summit, but it isn't too serious. The castle itself peaks out among the trees of the summit and the building has an impressive color scheme. The castle's interior holds a museum that gives you the background about its history and place in Sengoku-era Japan. The views from the top rival those of any other castle in Japan. You are rewarded with a full 360-degree view of the surrounding city and region as far as Nagoya to the south. Be sure to visit the separate museum next to the castle as it is included in the admission price.

Originally built in 1559, this castle was torn down in 1870 during the Meiji Restoration and recostructed back in 1933. Autumn is the best season to visit this castle as the autumn leaves significantly enhaced the beauty of this mountain castle. If you’re using public transportation, this castle is about 2 and half hours journey from Nagoya City. However it is recommended to drive here. It’s far away from the hustle and bustle of major tourist attraction. Definitely should give this castle a visit during autumn.

There are many types of animals and a very big flower garden for visit. Its restaurant is nice and has a beautiful scene of the farm. It is so relaxed to walk around there. Highly recommended to go there if you have kids.

Walked up Mt Kinka with family and friends. Took about 1 hour to get up. We took the rope way down as it was getting dark around 5pm. We had a 25 minute way for the rope way at the end of a Sunday. Great views from the top and well worth the visit
