Product Description

Spend two unforgettable days exploring the historic beauty of Shirakawago and Hida Takayama. This immersive tour begins in Osaka and takes you through some of Japan’s most scenic and culturally rich destinations.

Day 1 Highlights

• Departure from Osaka at 07:15 AM
• Takayama
  Arrive at Takayama Station by early afternoon. Enjoy 90 minutes of free time to stroll through the beautifully preserved old town, renowned for its Edo-period buildings and traditional charm.
• Shirakawago
  Visit the World Heritage Site of Shirakawago, famous for its gassho-zukuri farmhouses—some over 250 years old. Spend 60 to 90 minutes exploring the picturesque village at your own pace.
• Overnight in Toyama
  Stay at APA Hotel Toyama or a similar property (accommodation arranged based on availability). Enjoy a relaxing evening and access to Toyama Onsen.

Day 2 Highlights

• Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route
  After breakfast, travel via the Tateyama Toll Road to reach Murodo at 2,450 meters altitude.
  Experience the famous Snow Otani Walk, surrounded by towering snow walls, for approximately 100–120 minutes (weather permitting).
• Return
  Arrival back in Osaka by 19:30.

Important Information

• In case of congestion on the Alpen Route, departure on Day 2 may be earlier. Breakfast will be provided as a bento box.
• In case of adverse weather, the toll road may close, and access to Murodo may require an alternate route via cable car. This incurs an additional charge of JPY 5,000–7,000 per person.
• If the snow wall is inaccessible, the itinerary will change to sightseeing in Kanazawa (Kanazawa Castle Town, Higashi Chayagai, Omicho Market, etc.). A refund of JPY 1,000 per person will be issued in this case.
• No refunds will be made if the Snow Otani Walk is cut short due to weather.
• Luggage allowance: 1 standard-sized suitcase (approx. 24 inches).
• Room types are assigned based on availability. Solo travelers may receive single rooms even if traveling with others.
• Schedule is subject to change due to weather or traffic conditions.

“Time was well managed. The driver and guide, Na Jiang, were great. Although we couldn’t get close to the snow wall due to heavy weather, the overall scenery and itinerary were very worthwhile.”

“It was a pleasant trip. Our guide Na Jiang was kind, patient, and could communicate well in both Chinese and English. She recommended many great restaurants and attractions. A memorable experience.”
