Surrounded by nature, Hida-Takayama in Gifu Prefecture is a spot that is attracting attention worldwide as a place where the beautiful atmosphere of old Japan can be seen. From Tokyo, taking the highway bus service from Shinjuku is much cheaper than the train, and it's even easier and more convenient with the Keio Bus "Three-Star Ticket"! This winter, why not take the opportunity to visit the World Heritage Site, Shirakawa-go, to take in the winter scenery?
