Hida Folk Village
Hida Folk Village is a museum village that is beautiful both during the day and when illuminated at night. In the evening, when there are hardly any visitors, it offers a private atmosphere. For those traveling during the heavy snowfall in winter and facing travel disruptions, it is recommended to visit here as an alternative to Shirakawa-go. The village is easily accessible from Takayama, taking only 9 minutes by bus from Nohi Bus Station, stop number 1. The bus fare is just 100 yen per person. The entrance fee during the day is 700 yen per person, and at night, after sunset, there is a light-up event for 300 yen. The absence of crowds makes it a great place to take beautiful photos and enjoy the experience, making up for the inconvenience of being stuck in a snowstorm.

Takayama: More Than Just a Stopover🏮
Many travelers pass through Takayama as a quick stop or a place to rest before heading to Shirakawago, but this enchanting town is a destination in its own right—and dare I say, just as magical, if not more!
Stroll through its traditional streets, where history and culture come alive. Every corner feels like a step back in time, and getting lost in its maze of alleys is part of the fun—you’ll find hidden spots perfect for capturing unforgettable photos.
We visited in winter, and while the snow added a fairytale-like charm, the weather was surprisingly mild.
🎊Pro tip: Don’t miss the Hida Folk Village! This open-air museum with traditional thatched-roof houses, showcasing the region’s rich heritage. It’s just as picturesque as Shirakawago.
What’s more, Takayama is incredibly accessible, with easy connections from major cities like Kyoto, Tokyo, and Osaka.
✨ *Travel Tip:* Treat Takayama as more than just a pitstop—explore its streets, visit the Hida Folk Village, savor its local cuisine, and let its timeless vibe captivate you. You might just find it steals your hearts!

Hida Folk Village หมู่บ้านชาวนาแห่งเมืองทาคายาม่า🛖
Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato) is an open air museum exhibiting over 30 traditional houses from the Hida region, the mountainous district of Gifu Prefecture around Takayama. The houses were built during the Edo Period (1603-1868) and were relocated from their original locations to create the museum in 1971.
In a village-like atmosphere, the museum features buildings such as a former village head's house, logging huts, storehouses and a number of gassho-zukuri farmhouses, which are named after their steep thatched roofs resembling a pair of hands joined in prayer ("gassho"). They were moved here from nearby Shirakawago, where gassho-zukuri houses are the reason for the region's World Heritage status.
I wish to be back in Gifu.

Hida no sato folk village
If you find yourself in Takayama, take an easy 45 mins walk from the town centre to the fairy folk village of Hida no Sato. The village is a beautiful open-air museum that showcases traditional architecture and culture of the Hida region. The village will be especially of interest to those who want to learn about Japanese history and culture.
Entrance is 700JPY for an adult ticket which can be bought on the spot. Make sure to leave plenty of time for your visit though: with nearly 30 exhibits, I managed to properly visit just about a half in an hour and a half. There are also various folk games available to play for free along the way. You can also feed the fish in the pond for just 50JPY per bag of fish feed.
