Hida Minzoka Mura Folk Village (Hida no Sato)

Authentic homes moved from a nearby valley and preserved intact make this attraction a very special "open air museum."

Reviewed By Shodby - Mackay, Australia

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.

The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go Gassho Style Houses

Reviewed By ToruO - Setagaya, Japan

Luckily the place wasn't so crowded when I went there (ironically, thanks to COVID-19) but the weather was very unstable, thanks to an oncoming typhoon. The traditional thatched roof houses were quite a beauty to look at. Some are open to visitors but charge you a 300 yen admission. As you will be walking around a lot, it's best to visit during spring or fall when the weather is mild. If it weren't for COVID_19, you should definitely book a round trip bus ticket in advance. I traveled from Kanazawa station, and purchased tickets at an information center nearby. There are also tickets to and from Takayama station. Also, there are no trash cans, just like in most Japanese tourist spots. Bring plastic bags to put your trash in, so you can dispose of them when you get back to your hotel.

Hida Furukawa Old Town

Reviewed By Spertronic - Denver, United States

Hida Furukawa is a charming town with 2 sake breweries and many small shops. We also ate a delicious lunch while in town. There are carp to feed and many lovely old buildings to see. My wife and I stayed in Hida for three days while on our two week trip to Japan. It was some of our favorite time. The area has a local bus that makes travel easy. also there is a taxi company near the train station that will rent you bikes for the day.
