Nestled deep within the heart of Japan’s central mountains, away from the constant activity of urban centers like Tokyo and Osaka, you’ll discover the charming and impeccably preserved towns of Takayama and Shirakawa-go.

This journey, facilitated by an experienced, English-speaking local guide, will captivate you with extraordinary insights into a phase of Japan drastically different from our present day.
