KANAZAWA – VISIT GOKAYAMA AND SHIRAKAWA-GO – ON TO OSAKA

After buffet breakfast, check out and enjoy a scenic drive through the picturesque valley to the village of Gokayama, a UNESCO World Heritage site and enjoy a demonstration of traditional Japanese paper making techniques, where you will make your very own postcard. Then head to the village of Shirakawa-go, another UNESCO World Heritage site where you will discover fascinating architecture of old steep thatched-roof Gassho houses that have been around since the 11th century. This unique architectural style, harmonized into the magnificent mountain landscape, was developed to help the inhabitants to survive the extremely harsh winter. Walk around the village to experience daily life in this remote area. Enjoy local lunch. Thereafter, drive to Nagoya Station. Board the Bullet train to Shin-Osaka Station.
