Sho River Boat Ride
Our tour begins with a boat ride in the Sho River surrounded by mountains. The verdant green of Summer, the invigorating playfulness of autumn colors, and the mesmerizing beauty of winter’s snowy mountains highlight the different facets of nature.
UNESCO World Heritage Village of Gokayama Ainokura
Not as crowded as its neighboring heritage villages and featuring 20 Gassho style houses, Ainokura offers you a privileged contact with a rural mountain village. A short but significant visit will give you enough time to walk uphill to enjoy a panoramic view of the area and take some memorable pictures.
Maki no Oto
Lunch at [Maki No Oto] for a full French course using the best of local and seasonal ingredients.
Inami Woodcarver District & Zuisenji Temple
Inami is a woodcarver town in Nanto City, designated as Japanese heritage site in 2018. Woodcarvers and carpenters who participated in Zuisenji Temple construction eventually settled down here – and that’s how the town emerged.
The temple itself is considered as one of the largest wooden buildings in Japan and will steal your breath with the intricacy and mastership of the decorative carvings.
