Hida Folk Village
Museum
Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato) is an exciting outdoor museum in the Hida region of Japan's Gifu Prefecture. At the museum, you can see over 30 traditional houses, including an old village leader's house, huts used by loggers, storage buildings, and some special farmhouses called gassho-zukuri. Inside these buildings, you can explore the traditional architecture and see tools and utensils used in everyday life in the past. But the adventure doesn't stop there! Just a short walk from the Hida Folk Village is the Hida Takayama Crafts Experience Center. Here, you can try making traditional crafts like beaded keychains, sarubobo dolls, ceramic cups, or glass wind chimes. You can take these crafts home as special souvenirs! The beautiful mountain setting and traditional vibe make the Folk Village a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Japan. It offers a great chance to enjoy historic buildings and breathtaking views. The village is easy to reach from JR Takayama Train Station, making it a fun day trip from Takayama City.

Traveling with family, in order not to delay the trip time, buy the package on klook in advance. It was really convenient to redeem the ticket directly at the local ticket office. The scenery along the way was beautiful and I was really lucky to encounter snow! ! It is worth recommending to everyone!

The experience was special. It was a rare opportunity to enter a sake brewery. The guide, Mr. Shirakawa, was especially kind and his explanations were easy to understand. I think it was fun! Thank you♪

The package ticket is cost-effective and cheaper than buying separate tickets. The bus ticket and cable car pass need to be exchanged at the mountain bus station, and the cable car ticket needs to be exchanged for the ticket again at the cable car station. The exchange process is convenient

The location is convenient. There are two large supermarkets nearby. The room is large and clean. When cleaning, they will also give you a brand new large bottle of mineral water.

High cost performance, and free tea and rice snacks at night. Five minutes walk to Takayama Station. We drove and paid parking was available at the door. Parking spaces were limited and reservations were made on a first-come, first-served basis. The breakfast is also good, the hotel facilities are good, the hot springs are also beautiful, and the men and women will exchange baths every other day~

It is about 7 minutes away from the station. The room is very spacious. There is a private bath house upstairs (you need to queue up) and a simple drink bar downstairs!
