Tasting Tradition in Japan’s Mountains: Gujo, Takayama & Shirakawa-go

Join us on an unforgettable winter road trip through Japan’s central Alps! 🇯🇵 After a quick night in Nagoya, we wind our way through charming Gujo Hachiman, feast on Hida beef in the beautifully preserved old town of Takayama, and dive deep into tradition with an incredible ryokan stay. Finally, we explore the iconic snow-covered village of Shirakawa-go — complete with thatched-roof houses, breathtaking views, and steaming hot nikuman buns.

Whether you're planning your next Japan trip or just love food and travel, this one's packed with inspiration.
