1. Hida Minzoka Mura Folk Village (Hida no Sato)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,522 reviews
Authentic homes moved from a nearby valley and preserved intact make this attraction a very special "open air museum."

Coming from Australia snow is a real treat. When we went to the Folk Village on New Years Day it was thick with powdery snow. We could still walk around as the sky was clear and blue. The water wheel was iced over and the thatched roofs had a foot of white powder. I was glad it was open however some of the areas such as the 500 year old hilltop castle were closed due to safety reasons.

A little out of town (half hour walk) but we caught the Takayama loop bus -the bus stop is right the front.Beautiful new museum with a wonderful collection of Art Deco /Art Nouveau glass wear and furnature,something different to see in Japan. No crowds and a Machintosh tea room for refreshments.

Not to be missed, only regret is that we did not stay back there for the night. We did a day trip by Nohi bus on our way from Kanazawa to Takayama. We took the first bus out from Kanazawa, deposited luggage at the luggage counter behind Nohi bus station office and went on a walking tour around Shirakawa go. Loved in particular the trek up hill and also the one over the bridge on to the waterfalls and the other part of the town. We enjoyed matcha ice cream and food in the small shops along the way. We also visited a small museum which was quite interesting. Delightful place with lovely autumn leaves, beautiful thatched roof houses.

6. The Chiune Sugihara Memorial Hall

We drove for hours just to pay our respect to Chiune Sugihara - a noble man who stood up in the darkest days of mankind, because his conscience didn't let him turn away as most of the others did. Every man or woman should know the story of Sugihara, and this museum should have been located in Tokyo or in another major Japanese city. I wonder why the museum is in such a remote place (not even his birthplace). I hope that it's not because the Japanese authorities are still ashamed how they punished Sugihara because of the noble things he did.
