Travel to Takayama, Hida-Furukawa, Shirakawago & Nagoya

Hi there,

Yes, I've done a very similar trip when I was studying in Kyoto years ago and it is certainly possible, but also busy! I'd probably add a 3rd night in Nagoya if you can. As between travel and sightseeing, you'll also need some time to relax.

Personally, I enjoyed Nagoya castle a lot and there's a lot of fun shopping and food to be had around Sakae Metro stop (walkable from Nagoya station). Nagoya tower is also great place to finish the day, if you enjoy night views.

Have a good trip!

Daniel-san,
Thank you so much for prompt response and your advice! Sorry to be so slow in replying, but I've been rethinking my plans and may just go to Nagoya and cutting back on the attractions to visit of course. Thinking of maybe going to Amanohashidate for 1/2 day and then staying overnight at a ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen. This sounds more relaxing. Takayama will have to wait for a future Japan trip. I really appreciate all your help. Been reading a lot of your responses in the forum and you are so helpful!

Hi Eileen,

These are all lovely options as well. I've not yet been to Amanohashidate, but it looks rather beautiful!

Kinosaki Onsen is a relaxing visit, be sure to try a couple different onsen :)

Have a good trip!
Daniel
